[cheers] >> steve: 6:00 here in new york city. it's 1:00 in the afternoon in russia and we start this hour and this program with a fox news alert. chinese president xi jinping will arrive in moscow within the half hour, we believe, to meet with russian president vladimir putin. it's xi's first visit to russia since putin ordered that invasion of ukraine last year. >> rachel: part of china's plan to counter the united states and establish a new world order with

beijing at the forefront. >> brian: i like the last world order but we will see what happens. the chinese president wants to brand himself global peacemaker stand with ally face international arrest warrant for war crimes in ukraine. not to mention the genocide is he perpetrating on uyghurs in his own country. there he is pretending to smile. another example of this new world orderly that's unfolding since the pandemic. you have president xi teaming with scught a deal with saudi arabia and iran. said hey, guys, why don't you get together? turns out they are. with president xi he is watching the disaster in russia but kind of likes the fact that he gets to reaffirm his relationship with vladimir putin who is desperate for anything like people buy his gas, oil, as well as give him armaments which, according to general mcmaster he is getting lethal aid from china. >> steve: this meeting couldn't come at a better time for putin. he has had all these losses in

ukraine. that international criminal court. arrest warrant for him. just by virtue of mr. xi showing up in china, it makes suddenly, makes mr. putin look like he is back on the world stage. they are no longer a world order but rachel and by the way rachel good morning to you. >> rachel: good morning. >> steve: puts him back in the game. he loves that and she loves being a power broker. >> definitely enjoys being a power broker. and a defense intelligence analyst said what xi wants is to extend this war. xi believes that the extension of this war helps china. hurts us, depletes our weapons. that's her take. representative elise stefanik she says that the weakness of this administration is what's hurting. listen. >> i think this is a direct result ever the weakness we have seen going back to the early days of the biden administration. whether it was their appeasing of russia.

giving vladimir putin nord stream 2 part-time line. catastrophic withdrawal from afghanistan that let to the lost of 13 brave service members gold star families. that's weakness on the world stage and weakness has consequences. the consequences of that a rising communist china, a belligerent russia when it comes to invasion of ukraine. so, when it comes to house republicans, we are committing to having wrong national security, peace through strength and a strong, clear voice when it comes from the u.s. standing up for human rights and standing strongly with our allies, rather than letting our adversaries fill that void. >> brian: the actual war itself bakhmut did not fall. running out of armaments. russians are attacking with shovels in some cases. looks like a clash between wagner group as well as the regular russian army and now the offensive for ukraine is about to go. the one thing you could be counting on if you want america to look weak, you let ukraine lose. then we lose an ally, down goes

moldova, which is already slow moving co coup going on there. donald trump believes he will be charged toll tomorrow he made that clear on saturday. this case is brought by the manhattan district attorney. >> rachel: later today a grand jury will hear testimony to the former legal adviser to michael cohen. >> steve: getting crazier by the day. alexandria hoff following from our nation's capital and tell us what is happening. >> this came from the trump legal team so that points to costello potentially countering claims made by michael cohen. the grand jury is weighing an indictment of the former president over around $130,000 payment to adult actress stoirnl daniels. michael daniels says he fronted the money and reimbursed by trump as a means to quiet the affair leading up to the

election. trump denies the elections and cohen denies thats can tell low ever represented him. in a former truth social costello the most important witness to go in front of the new york city jury. the evidence will be irrefutable. that came after the former president predicted that he would be arrested tomorrow. >> anyone else in that situation with these set of facts would they be prosecuted? the answer, mark, by all accounts is 100 percent no. this is a politically motivated prosecution. this is the thing that's happening in this country now where we are using the justice system as a weapon. it's weapons of a prosecutor's office to get political opponent. >> mike pence's office weighing in. >> at a time when there is a crime wave in new york city, the fact that the manhattan da thinks that indicting president trump is his top priority, i think, just tells you everything you need to know about the

radical left in this country it. just feels like a politically charged prosecution here. >> the d.a.'s office declined to provide comment but the expectation is that trump would be charged with falsifying business records which prosecutors could then try to elevate to a felony offense by framing it as an improper campaign donation. brian, steve, rachel. >> steve: alexandria, let me ask you a question. i know a lot of this reporting is coming from the "wall street journal." they say because prosecutors control the grand jury, the defense can request a witness appear but, ultimately, the jurors then are going to vote whether or not to hear that person, right? so this guy might not show up. >> yeah. that's really interesting. we don't even know if the jurors then will get any indication of what costello would have said today. but it's impactful that the judge had allowed costello at least to be presented as a potential witness in this and we will hear if he is, in fact, heard. >> steve: all right, alexandria a thank you very much.

>> rachel: we were on the couch this weekend when the story broke. >> brian: on truth social. ains. >> rachel: broke on truth social and everyone is wondering what do we make of this. we wanted to hear what jonathan turleyly had to say about it. here's what he ended up saying. >> this is a political prosecution in my view. you don't have to really venture very far to reach that conclusion. if you look at how this case came about, it's rather obviously political. you know, the predecessor, brad, did not pursue this case. the department of justice did not pursue the underlying federal election violation. the chairman of the fec, election experts have all said this is an exceptionally weak theory. and, yet, bragg, who threw a flag on this case, decided to go forward after his prosecutors resigned and one of them wrote what i thought was a very unprofessional book. detailing the case against an individual who hasn't been

charged, let alone convicted. >> brian: of all the cases coming down against the president this by far seems on its face on every aspect so political, so unnecessary, something that happened 17 years ago that came into fray four years ago or six years ago, now getting brought up again by a district attorney that has gotten elected for political offers, running on a left wing democratic platform. attorney general targeted trump before she got elected election platform. all these things if they were said behind closed doors they said it in front of a huge crowds. this is a loser all around. in the beginning people might say rallying around trump. but, for the most part nobody relishes walking up toes steps, getting a mugshot, and getting fingerprinted over something that is not both of our time. and if anyone has been to new york lately, you see the recidivism. you see the criminals on the streets. you see what's happening

everywhere. they were begging this guy when he was a biz man to refurbish golf courses and to finance different ice rinks. and help out this city, and now they are trying to targets him because now he is not hosting the atis is he a republican president, they look at him as the enemy and chance to get political cachet. >> steve: we don't know what he might be charged with. all depends on the grand jury. the sentence would be up to four years. here's the thing. there is a two year statute of limitations on it. five years if it is a felony. but, here's the thing. new york law extends those limits when somebody is out of the state and donald trump was in mar-a-lago a lot and at the white house a lot. plus, new york statute of limitations extended by more than a year after coronavirus. so that is, you know, unclear legally how the da is going to

be able to present to the judge hey, i know this has got a two-year statute of limitations and it happened a long time ago, but, so we will see what the judge says. >> rachel: people are wondering why and again why now. so the why is obviously trump derangement syndrome he hates trump. also he was a george soros funded d.a. maybe listening to his master, george soros who say we need this done. again, the time something interesting. because it's a little bit covering up a much bigger story which actually relates to our original story about china, our greater enemy. you and i, brian, might not agree on ukraine war but we do agree that china is our number one enemy and if our president is, indeed, compromised, financially, we need to know that now. and i think this is sort of some people are saying this is good for trump, rallying his supporters. i agree with you it doesn't look good to have a perron walk and .

taking the biden off the front page right now. >> brian: it is. >> steve: stay tuned. >> brian: that investigation has just begun. coming up, out of control in miami beach. florida issuing a overnight curfew in declaring a state of emergency after several shootings during spring break. a live report on the earth to control the chaos next. >> rachel: plus, biden's bad economy prompting a price hike at mcdonald's. how much more that big mac will cost as one store pulls eggs off the shelf.

keep order in the city. this is the third straight year that a curfew has been issued in the city. he adds that the shootings will not be tolerated. >> the volume of people in our city, the unruly nature of too many. and the presence of guns has created a peril that cannot go unchecked. >> todd: miami beach officials are meeting later today to discuss other restrictions moving forward even another curfew start on thursday and go through march 27th. guys, a much different spring break experience for these kids than all four of us experienced. >> rachel: i was going to say from the 90's, i was on mtv we did the mtv spring break stuff. >> steve: that was crazyish. >> rachel: crazyish until i saw. this the mayor of miami getting blamed by some of the business owners for this chaos. in some ways not his fault. maybe biden's fault influx of people going to go to mexico but can't because now mexico is now

a narco-state thanks to joe biden so they went to miami. they probably got more people than they expected and it's chaos. and people died. >> brian: this guy says i don't want spring break. don't come to miami. go to fort lauderdale, go somewhere else. >> steve: you can understand that the people who live in miami don't want it there, either. here is somebody who runs and owns a hotel down there this would be our fourth annual consecutive declaration. for me, as a hotel owner, i have my client tell is primarily an international crowd. it hurts plea. especially to provide them with refunds when they tell me they have nothing to do and they are going to be departing early. why does the city continue to provide a carnival like circus on the street with multiple stages, blasting music, the city

embraces this spring break atmosphere. >> steve: and, as todd said, you know, they have had curfews the last couple of years, keep in mind, it was just two years ago that they arrested a thousand people and they also confiscated dozens of guns rachel to your earlier point this is not your mother's spring break anymore. as annual adult, when you send your kid to spring break what do you think about well, i hope you don't drink too much or something else. but, instead, all these guns and given what happened over the weekend, you got to worry about your kid getting killed. >> rachel: fentanyl by the way is another thing that you thought your kid could get drunk and that's bad enough now looking at potential poisoning with fentanyl. >> steve: used to be just roughies. >> brian: those were the good old days. >> rachel: yeah, things are getting really bad. i think the city does need to make a decision, who do we want?

miami is a great place. i get why people want to go there it seems like the international tourists might be spending a little more money than the spring breakers. >> brian: upgrade a little bit. college kids are not known for their tipping. >> rachel: true. >> brian: definitely want to go four seasons. one just got back from spring break and another one going. they are not going to do any of that stuff. >> steve: to miami. >> brian: to the area. florida. lawrence spring break. ashley, you have the breaking news? >> ashley: i do. start with this. shares of u.b.s. and credit suisse taking a hit in the stock market. u.b.s. agreeing to acquire credit suisse. credit suisse dropped by over 63%. the declining prices come due to fears of the integrity of banks around the world sparked by

>> brian: fox business network. xi meeting with vladimir putin later today. their first in-person sitdown since the war in ukraine. this follows vladimir putin's first trip to crimea in mariupol over the weekend. joining us now with reaction is the ceo of heritage capital also blacklisted by russia in 1925. the russians and vladimir putin do not like him but we do. bill browder, welcome back. bill, what is your take away from this meeting today even before it happens the symbolism of it taking place? putin needs this meeting from different perspectives, first and foremost some kind of validation that an important

head of state will see him after being indicted as a war criminal by the international criminal courts in the hague. preble more important than that he needs weapons. russia is running out of weapons. more than 3500 tanks have been destroyed. aircraft have been shot down. they are running out of artillery. running out of drones shot down. lost 165,000 soldiers. and so china is probably the only change complex of this war and if they supply to supply weapons in la quantities to rusa that would be bad for ukraine and us. >> brian: convinced giving lethal aid. north korea or other entities that we are allowing that to happen. we know india is continuing to trade and actually taking advantage of the west leaving moscow and other places.

>> yeah, this is real problem. we haven't seen unexplodes missile with chinese characters outside a build where children are dead. if that were to happen i think the bolder would turn on china pretty quickly. china understands this and understand they are a business country. and if all of a sudden their missiles are killing ukrainian children, we are not going to buy their stuff anymore. that's going to cause them harm. i'm not sure they want to take that risk to support russia. they like to turn their nose at the u.s. and watch us squirm but at what cost. >> brian: he considers himself a tough guy. likes what happened in syria. grabbed portions of georgia. he is looking inept in front of the world. for a bully that's the worst type of result. the question is now do you look at him as going after some kind of redemption. does he understand what is being

done to his reputation and actual army? >> he doesn't care about his reputation. that's for sure. if he did, then he wouldn't have stolen trillion dollars all of his cronies from the russian state over the last 22 years. all he cares about is staying in power and staying alive back down from this conflict. there is no back down. if he loses another 200,000 soldiers, 500,000 soldiers he doesn't care. it's not like us. he is note a democrat. he doesn't have to be elected he just looks the other way and throws more into it. >> brian: look like the victim of a spring offensive by the ukrainians who have migs to add to their air force. bill browder, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> brian: coming up, former president donald trump says he will be indicted by the manhattan district attorney tomorrow. a former prosecutor, who worked

in that office says the timing is suspicious. he will explain next. ♪

lowe's knows you never come in for just one thing. so we've got to know a lot of things about a lot of things. like what makes your lawn thrive, paint that adds color in one coat and a dishwasher that handles all the dirty work. you got this. and we got you. ♪ ♪ make your dream car...a reality. mercedes-benz certified pre-owned vehicles are rigorously inspected to live up to the highest of expectations.

>> this is a politically motivated prosecution. this is the thing that's happening in this country now where we are using the justice system as a weapon. all decent people, whether politically opposed to donald trump will local office as the former president says he believes he will be arrested tomorrow a key witness is expected to undermine co-'s credibility in today's testimony which trump declares will be conclusive and irrefutable. our next guest works in the manhattan d.a.'s office and major doubts about the viability of the case.

former prosecutor elliott feel something here to explain. >> good morning. >> steve: you have got three problems with this. >> three questions that have not been satisfactorily answered that make me really doubt the vint of this case and make me question the motivation behind this prosecution. first and foremost, the timing, the underlying act occurred seven years ago. nornl public 4reu five years any sprucing is long gone. why is this case being brought now? is it a politically motivated response to the criticism alvin bragg received for financial improprieties? that's what it looks like apparently somebody wrote a book attacked mr. bragg and now that is payback. >> if that's what it looks like why would you wait two years after he has been out of office to bring this case in the immediate aftermath criticism of that book.

i'm also curious why are we even in state court? these are federal election laws, they're typically and almost exclusively prosecuted by either the fec or the department of justice. i'm not aware you have any legal theory whereby these acts would constitute a violation of state law but not also federal law only inference that the fec and biden department of justice looked at these facts and said there is no viable case here. i don't know anyone who would argue with a straight face a alvin bragg is somehow a more responsible prosecutor than merrick garland. merrick garland passed. >> brian: the doj fasted the federal election passed and now the local guy talked about with the crime situation lehr is he going after him. you also suggest the john edwards defense may come into play. >> absolutely, john edwards was charged in 200811 under very similar circumstances in federal

court where it belonged with violating campaign finance laws for having hush money sent to a former extramarital lover. lawyers. anyone would pay hush money candidate or not a candidate to spare themselves or family from embarrassment. that was a successful defense. it's a defense that's fully available here. >> steve: so today the grand jury may hear from robert costello who was an adviser to michael cohen and apparently mre "wall street journal" that cohen told him he paid off stormy daniels to protect melania who had just had a baby which is barron. >> right. extremely unusual for a grand diswror hear from a defense witness. hear from a defendant. that handled in 2 or 3%. to hear from a defense witness very, very rare uphill climb though. >> steve: ultimately, i raid that the jury themselves will vote on whether or not to hear

him. grand jurors have to vote whether they want to hear. trial you need unanimous and yard. grand jury just probable cause. unless defense witness blow out of the water likely to prevent a indictment. >> brian: elliott, never boring. >> my flesh. >> steve: ashley has got some headlines. >> ashley: the house oversight committee chairman james comer vowing to press forward with his investigation shady biden family business dealings, listen. >> think the white house ever dreamed we would get bank records? i have bad news for the white house. this is just the beginning. we will get a lot more bank records and they have to continue to back pedal and come up with some type of reason why the biden family has received millions and millions of dollars from our adversaries. >> ashley: the white house oversight committee is awaiting more top documents. up to 11 more deals connecting the bidens to china.
