happy birthday big birthday it's a bird that it keeps on giving forgiveness or commentary impossible russian crew. [applause] no. [laughter] potenza trash. have a great saturday everybody. ♪ we will protect our people in our statement from any threats including internal betrayal. what we are facing is betrayal. absorbent ambitions and personal interests led to treason. neil: something is so stunning going down right now and russia. that is right, russia. today russian tanks rolling into moscow to protect it from a president vladimir putin is

calling a rebellion. not from ukrainian supporters trite russian mercenary fighters for the group claiming control the russian city of rostov on don. that is been fighting your gratings at a cost of more than 20000 russian soldiers lives. it's leader blames many of those deaths on russian military leaders. and now that later has set his sights on them. not a coup he says about a march for justice. here is what is remarkable. his troops are already 60 miles into russia. they are setting their sites much further. reason enough for vladimir putin to call for his arrest. but citizens on alert. confusing for ukraine and the turning point for a war in the world. welcome everyone i am neil cavuto.

man oh man fast moving develops overnight. the latest in kyiv. we've been tracking last 24 hours with potential ramifications for this war and maybe it much more. the biggest challenge to russian president vladimir putin during his time in power, an attempted coup, an armed uprising you name it. the man responsible prigozhin. he complained about the war, russian military leadership. russians fired on his forces. that is when he took his fighters about 25000 list tanks, armors, guns to the key southeastern city of rostov on don. they took over the main russian military headquarters there with a demand for the top russian military brass come to him to discuss his complaints. prigozhin threatening to move on

to moscow and some of his forces already closer to the capitol amid resistance for the kremlin is on high alert. vladimir putin lashing out. sank a bit more in that video message about prigozhin's actions calling a stab in the heart of our country. promising a harsh response. here in kyiv another having a bombardment. twenty russian missions fired. some thinking among officials here right now how the situation might help them in their current counteroffensive. online message zelenskyy said at i quote russia's weakness is obvious. full-scale weakness. the longer russia keeps his troops and mercenaries on our land for more chaos, pain and problems it will have for itself later. neil, including the white house world capitals are watching this very closely. maybe holding their collective breath. it is really too early for analysts to predict exactly how this is going to turn out. many think it is not going to be

pretty, back to you. neil: thank you for that greg. we'll go to the white house were lucas tomlinson is. how they are handling it there in responding to it there, lucas? what's neil former u.s. ambassador to moscow michael mcfall said this is not a civil war inside russia. we've not heard yet from present invited. we have heard from his top diplomat sank in the statement and a tweet spoke today with g-7 foreign ministers and eat you height representatives are foreign affairs and security policy to discuss the ongoing situation in russia. the united states will stay in close coordination with allies and partners as a situation continues to develop. we have not heard much from the u.s. side we have heard from british intelligence. this feud between getting the wegner group is now escalated to outright military confrontation. prigozhin is calling this a march to freedom on moscow and the reports a convoy is just a few hundred miles away from russia's capitol.

wegner forces crushed into russia with two locations one of the cities seized by the mercenary forces, rostov on don, is what russia's military runs operations in ukraine. british intelligence says there is been limited evidence of fighting between mercenary and regular russian forces. they remain very passive in many areas. british intelligence in this bolton said in the coming hours the loyalty of russia security forces and especially the russian national guard, will be key to how this crisis plays out. this represents him a significant challenge to russia's state in recent history. no course, russia has alleged a stockpile of nuclear weapons is one of the reasons why the white house, pentagon and state department or watches crisis very carefully but we have not heard from present invited yet. he is due to leave shortly for camp deal. neil: alright lucas thank you for that. a couple quick elements as lucas was speaking. first zelenskyy has said right now anyone who chooses the path of evil destroys himself. going on to say about vladimir

putin that he despises people come out as hundreds of thousands into war in order to eventually barricade himself in the moscow region from those whom he himself armed. we are learning separate lot right now that the wegner fighters have been promised amnesty if they lay down their weapons. but they need to act fast. many in the wegner group do not seem to think there will be must trust behind that will be severely punished if not killed if they do. mark as for the former defense secretary of the united states with us now. what do you make of all this? what does a very serious issue. it ripples in multiple ways. it impacts the war on ukraine. if wegner leaves the battlefield you leave a tenacious enforcer. what puts and calls the armed rebellion against his rule it's more about prigozhin versus the

defense minister. it will appeal to russians who are pro- ukrainian or anti- putin. it will appeal to the far right in russia who think putin has not prosecuted the war aggressively enough. and think about if wagner ends as an end to see, what it means for russia and beyond russia's borders in ukraine. wagner has a very big presence in africa, sierra, places like that. it's hard to see how exist like that anymore. given what's happened in the past 24 hours. this has multiple implications for its very serious it will be curious to see how this plays out. particularly as wagner appears to be moving slowly towards moscow. neil: what's interesting as well the wagner group of paid soldiers there mercenaries. her effective mercenaries and brutal mercenaries key aides to vladimir putin sometimes ruthless attacks but only within russia itself but in a lot of

satellite countries. but it comes at a time when russia clearly depends on that. depends on armors from the people used to send arms to like the uranian's. i am wondering if wagner itself is no longer what it was. what does it say about the military fitness of russia? quickset is a good point nila does point out the fact moscow apparently has not had enough confidence in its regular military to send them a ride to libya to sierra and other places. or clearly on the battlefield over the last 16 months the russian military has been unable to have much success on the battlefield. it was a wagner who ultimately seized in a victory. to take them off the battlefield you are removing capability. and a foreign-policy entity as

well for moscow to use abroad. neil: who is running the store right now at 20 russian wives lost their brutal. prigozhin is now an russia making his way to moscow are hoping too. so you have to wonder who is running the fight there? rex prigozhin left bakhmut a few weeks ago in the signal this inevitability between the conflict between was going to happen but there is conflict on the ground between the russian forces during the departure it got really testy. this is not ending anytime soon. putin has called it an uprising a rebellion. it will be very interesting to see the russian troops and rostov on don they're not picking sites in many ways this

is the russian way they're going to wait to see both the military and that russian people which whiteness goes how it plays out before they begin taking sides. neil: i do not one to oversimplify it you are a great student of history. but as close to their douglas macarthur. very popular with the rank-and-file troops not so with other leaders. he proved that intestine that not too long ago when he chastised russian troop leaders back in moscow for allowing the carnage he was witnessing among his own men and women. this is from that time you were just referring to them too. ask my guys will not suffer useless and unjustified losses in bakhmut without mission. we will leave the settlement of bakhmut for it we have to take around 2 kilometers but if you do not want to give victory to the russians and the capture of bakhmut because your petty nba

these are your problems. neil: when you make of that? that's a pretty gutsy thing to say. i can think of other adjectives. but vladimir putin was okay with that. other russian leaders back home or not. and now this conundrum. >> interesting distinction here in the united states military we emphasized the importance of our service members for they are our top priority, it's important to take care of the nuts and most critical element in combat if you will. no one in the russian military has expressed any concern for the russian soldier. he has articulated these views when they talk about moscow sending them into the grinder. if you want to talk about not providing enough air support or artillery shells. he has really spoken about that carnage. i think we speak into the russian people they moms and dads or send their sons into this conflict for the moth motherland.

most importantly, something that will reboot well beyond weeks and months beyond what happens in the next few days is he hasn't belied and contradicted putin in this lie this is all about ukraine threatening a russia or at nato threatening russia. it has all been a big lie. it is all about the russian generals, oligarchs went to further plunder ukraine and pump up their own ego. that's going to do lasting damage to long-term support for this conflict. neil: are a secretary thank you very much for that for the second is wrapping up the statement we are learning now eight depots been set up played by the wagner group as it reaches the city of voronezh. i believe that is about 10 miles east of the one we are talking about here. it expands and extends. furthermore the list of demands remains the same right now with concern with what prigozhin wants before he would presumably stand down. this is not a coup.

this is a military uprising and a justified one. he said all the russian generals who were responsible for not providing him needed ammunition, they must go. the removal of the defense minister says he was the one referring to the defense of ministry that or the bombing on his camps in ukraine and deliberately targeted his russian soldiers for his referred elite repeatedly referred to them as his russian military soldiers. the only thing he wants military command entirely replaced. is your said than done. vladimir putin said is as good as is rested now. turn yourself in. amnesty has been offered to the wagner troops who are in there. we do not know how many are part of this invasion. we are keeping track of it though. this at a time vladimir putin has essentially moscow under siege and watch and protect it

whether to do much of the country dangerous journey is in heat wyoming the latest target. that is far from the only. fox weather meteorologist with us now. craig what is happening here? lexus is pretty impressive. you are talking about two storms that form east of the lesser antilles that has not happened to named storms since 1968. with that brett and cindy brett expected to into the caribbean and follow apartment usually was in the storm formation in the gulf of mexico. quite an active start. the c when you go on the alphabet had arlene, brett, send it we don't usually get the c until august 3. let's talk about cindy this is one to watch moving west northwest at 15 miles per hour. as it does so continues to move

up north of the lesser entails getting plenty plenty of rain, wind and large surf. what's going to happen with this there is brett here is a cindy. cindy is going to move a dozen pretty strong winds. strong thunderstorms on the backside of that. it's going to run into strong winds in the upper levels for it that will pull it apart. almost like cotton candy. it is wrapping around the area of high pressure. it will lose some of that steam and once it goes past that area we will watch it closely. there is warm water could go into brief taking a look at bret continues to move to the west to 18 miles per hour. here's her got dry air. that is going to be a major concern that is going to bring brent down and fizzle out is because of the day tomorrow. the track just takes it up to sunday morning. after that bret will be history buried back in 2017 bret took a similar path in the same story. we cycled to the hurricane names every six years. rex will be back on the list in

six years. we retire them in something catastrophic has happened or loss of life. it's impressive when you talk about this. we're going to watch cindy because when it goes up to the north of and hold it center circulation after the strong winds, it could re- intensify. the atlantic is so warm. it is the fuel these storms need some of the waters in the atlantic 86 -- 87 degrees but they do see the water temperature to be right at 80 degrees. quick settle scary my friend thank you very much. try one. craig was touching on the pickup of the hurricane season we should be under the agency pointed pointed out we are into the season. that is a cindy by time we get normally to august when we might be into the seas we could very well be into the eyes. fox mitterrand's hurricane expert what we are looking at. next week technically have the d storm there was a storm in

january they retroactively na names. and it counts on the list. we are through the fourth one even though we are on cindy. it's a little bit complicated. but this issue of the tropical atlantic waters being warm is not the whole issue. that no doubt will help get the storms going early in june. this unprecedented having two storms develop in the tropical atlantic in june. but the warm water and the spectacular warm water goes from the african coast to great britain. the water we have never seen before you add up all these warm water areas we have never seen the global oceans be as warm as they are. taking all of that into account that indeed help kick off the storms in the atlantic this year. it's also going to have a significant effect on the weather pattern around the wo world. we've never seen that the total effects of all of that on the weather and on the hurricane

season are still -- i think it is fair to say territory we have not seen. we are just not sure of the total effects of all of this. neil: amazing, thank you for coming and helping us out on all of that. bryan norcross purkett expert over a box. we are getting more details of what went wrong with the submersible. and in details that date back years in the company's cofounder heat left years ago but his thoughts on that after this. ♪ it takes two to make it outta sight ♪ ♪ one, two, get loose now ♪ ♪ it takes two to make a... ♪ stay two nights and get a $ 50 best western gift card. book now at bestwestern.com. my most important kitchen tool? my brain. so i choose neuriva plus. unlike some others, neuriva plus is a multitasker supporting 6 key indicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp.

neil: all right launch a full-scale investigation into the submersibles catastrophic ending. a couple days ago and sp taking

of issues in united states with mike tobin on top of it all in st. john's, canada. >> neil, the big development is the polar prints the ship from which the titan was launched is here in the port of st. john's. you can see it over my left shoulder but came here this morning and docked. so for the information we are getting is no personnel was being allowed off the ship. no communication you've got to be assumed to be kept his party investigation if you just mention transportation safety board of canada launched an investigation into the titan disaster the u.s. coast guard announced yesterday the national transportation safety board had declared the last of the titan eight major marine casualty predate launch their own investigation. now, following the polar prince into port the merlin came in telling the launch and recovery platform. people in the small community of submersibles probably think the sled. even that is controversy over that is how they load the titan submersible in and out of the

water with the used to load the titan submersible in and out of the water most are loaded by creator attached to a freemen loaded into the water using that. as the investigation moves forward, the investigators are going to have a lot to work with. letters had been written warning the ocean gate company and their experimental approach to seek and see exploration could meet a catastrophic end. the marine technology society noted in 2018 right rash and ocean gate did not endeavor to meet certification standards. that same year employee raised concerns about design, reliability and testing protocol. that employee was fired. but the investigation is going to get very complicated because you have an american vessel that was launch or make canadian flagship in international wa waters. neil: and mike, i assume any future expeditions have been put off? >> at the moment for that is hard to say.

you have a very small community of people who get involved in the submersibles produce a very high price tag to get involved in that game and it leads a lot of people out. when you start looking at the fact that operate in different countries, there are regulations in the bahamas different than the standards the titan was up next too. there is a degree to which it is the wild west. but you have a lot of people scrutinizing it within this community. so they try to prevent people from becoming yahoos. at that moment you would have to think everyone is going to pause, look, think about safety protocols and try to figure out what exactly caused the titan to fail. neil: tobin. allow the classic right now the company about the safety or the risks of this. keep in mind ocean gate cofounder ceo stockton rash was along those who lost her license tragedy. fellow cofounder joins us right

now guillermo sohnlein the ocean gate cofounder. he left the company back in 2013 thank you for taking the time. thank you for having me. neil: so much has been said about what your colleague stockton rush knew what if he paid attention to the safety concerns a variety of folks over the years have raised with him including the marine technology society that apparently sent a letter back in 2018 citing the importance of uncompromised hole and they were not sure that was the case. you know anything about that or not? obviously it is years after you left. he cavalierly ignored such warnings. well, as you mentioned i left in 2013 for the development of the titan as a submersible. but stockton and i both always considered everything that we did it ocean gate part of the long-term vision of pieces diving submersible platform.

we kind of consider the entire company's history part of the technology development program for what ultimately became ti titan. i think what has been misrepresented in the immediate aftermath of all this is two things. one is stockton's approach engineering and design. he was very risk-averse he was very keen risk manager. everything he did he thought he was doing for the betterment of ocean exploration and safety. in that mischaracterization is the development of the sabbath itself. this was a very robust multitier almost 14 year development program with a lot of different people involved. a lot of different design parameters taken and a lot of testing involved over the years. neil: something obvious is not enough it's blame monday morning

quarterback on the street but i quote this david lockridge a former oceangate executive who had warned about method to determine the soundness. it keeps coming back to the whole itself. it could subject passengers to extreme dangers. not enough care was put into that. again this is years after you left i grant you. but such warnings these are not the only ones i mention the marine technology society and others who had said this is dangerous. a number of passengers who opted reading the waivers on this, not me i don't want to do this. what would you make of it? >> first of all i note david and i respect his take on a lot of stuff. i also know the nts group you mentioned i was a member of that for number of years i was a chair of the one on the author that letter. i cannot comment directly on that. but what i can tell he was both of those things happen in 2018 we are down 20235 years later.

a lot of design and redesign, testing and retesting has been done in the years since then. even though i was not privy to it i am certain giving what i knew of stockton and of the oceangate culture and commitment to safety that things would have been improved over the years. neil: the one things i did not understand is a trouble with the carbon fiber is that over time carbon fiber anything can in this skill almost molecularly deteriorate with each and every dive. he seemed to be putting it out there then that each successive dive would make it riskier to be in the vehicle itself. did you ever hear anything like that? >> no. again that predated me. but regardless, either james cameron, will, david lockridge or myself were involved in the

design of the sub and the building of the sabbath. the testing of the sub and certainly none of us are privy to any of the data from what actually happened this week. all that's when it come out in these investigations is mike supporting earlier. we will find out in the next few weeks and months. we can have the same conversation when the results of that investigation come out. >> understood. neil: i should wipe out that stockton rush cannot speak for himself he died in this tragedy and i do not want to belabor the point. one other issue one to raise with you as he often talked that is stockton rush, how is work with the likes of a boeing and nasa, the university of washington and the technology behind this. boeing came out the statement that said it was not a partner of the titan program and did not design, build it, or have anything to do with it. that was maybe not back to your base do you know or since the time he left whether any of

these companies or this college was? >> as you pointed out that happen after i left. i can understand from their perspective they were not involved in the actual titan submersible they would take that stance again stockton might have considered the entire history of the company of the titan development program to sub's cyclops and antipodes. it's possible his companies and organizations work with oceangate on the earlier sabs. today would position themselves of not having help develop ti titan. they were probably involved in some of the earlier designs. shows will come up during the investigation is a look through all of the companies. neil: they had releases you had to sign, read, go through thoroughly if you're going to get aboard one of these things for talk to someone who had read one. since it mentioned the word death i believe three or four times in the first page she said i think i will skip this ride.

still another was telling me it did not dissuade him he did and had a fine time. i am just wondering do you believe mr. rush was aware of these dangers? obviously took the right himself a fatal right at that. so he must've had confidence in the safety of that. but do you think he had any appreciation of the risk involved in the fact you could control this much with the gaming device. the materials used in for a bit too flimsy. is there a matter of time before something like this would ha happen? >> of course he was keenly aware of the risk for anyone who operates in the deep ocean has not just an awareness of the risk but a healthy respect of the risk. and like i said before, i think he always believed his innovations to increase the capabilities humanity's ability to explore the deep ocean spray

but also to do it in a manner that was safer than what had come before. neil: are being very helpful here i just wanted to understand there are reports i believe coming from james cameron. again i could be misquoting so if you will indulge me here or there were some type of sensors on these vessels. if anything was compromised on the whole pressure it was billing to extremity on the whole there would be a sensor warning, an alarm go off. often times it be perhaps too late to save the crew inside. and their and deaths would be within milliseconds. but do you know they know and heard an alarm of some sort implosion itself? >> even though i've never dive in titan and i'm sure it again it will come up in the investigation. one of the technology innovation stockton was very proud of his with a carbon fiber whole you

could weave into the hole was called a strain gauge. which allows math inside this sub for the sub pilot. as mr. cameron pointed out to give a sense something may be going wrong. i guess the pilot a chance to avert disaster in a way that's not possible and any other subnets not carbon fiber. neil: what an alarm sound or something gone off inside that certainly would have gotten stockton rush's attention? >> i am not sure what happened or how quickly it happened. i know the way it was designed to happen at least the way stockton explained it to me over the years was so that it creates a heat map for the pilot to look out. i've never dive didn't so i do not know how the pilot uses it. he may have been monitoring and as he went down. so maybe he saw something.

but again i'm sure mr. cameron said several times by that point there is probably nothing anybody can do. implosion would have happened if it would've been over in a millisecond. neil: i do not mean to belabor the point. it's fair to say that he would be aware through session alarm or signal or something going off something was about to happen is that a fair to estimate? >> potentially which honestly as his friend makes me sad. the one thing in the sub community we talk about is if there is an implosion saving grace for the crew is the transfer process anything is wrong. if stockton was looking at the heat map and he did get some sort of he's the only where the crew members actually suffer if anything for millisecond. neil: thank you very much. guillermo sohnlein the oceangate cofounder. this is to be investigated in

the tsp is looking into it as we speak. canadian authorities are looking at from there and as well. it could be at the very least which trips are stymied for a while. two trips at that. customers put over as much on $50000 each for the chance to see the wreckage of the titanic. in the latest case among the additional victims to that child will keep you posted on that i keep you posted on what is going on in moscow right now under siege and growing concerns wagner group is behind it and prigozhin the guy who heads it is like to russian general macarthur. very popular military figure on a ruthless one. but again he had had it with russian generals back home who were policing and were badly, miserably and cruelly. he wanted to put into it. the defense minister and those in charge resigned. taking matter into his own hands and launched an attack on russia

to get them out of there. vladimir putin is already said it will be arrested and he should cease and desist. amnesty is hardly being granted to those who bought all of that they are more apprised of the situation. print for chronic saying is following the events closely. all similar from leaders of britain and poland. in virtually all the major economic powers and the ones in that region directly affected by this. man or woman in sparring with russia against ukraine's instability inside the russian federation as well. that's coming right now from the office of the prime minister. i want to go right now to greg palkot is in kyiv where they are no doubt watches extrema closely. >> you got extremely closely

present zelenskyy came out with a statement online a few hours ago saying this is a basically a sign of weakness of disarray their military and assign this war should be ended very quickly. we heard from another aide to president zelenskyy sang the next 24 or 48 hours would be crucial that's exactly right. this could be a very interesting one. since we last talked were tracking the movements especially the wagner verses. we have them now according to various reports seem each other above the town of voronezh prevents about six hours outside moscow. we were 25000 fighters and all spread out.

a small portion of them heading in some way to moscow. from all of our indications, neil, the big guy that started this whatever you went to college, a rebellion, a mutiny, a coup, prigozhin is staying still in rostov on don freezing the main military headquarters of the ukrainian army. remember, for your viewers just a reminder this is the headquarters for this is the building, this is where people on the ground are planning this entire war in ukraine. you could not be anymore sensitive place for heat says he is waiting for the defense chief and the general in charge of the army. the chief of staff to come to him to discuss his complaints about it. if they do not come to him to discuss the complaints he will go to them he'll go to moscow. absolutely in the past 40 minutes as we last talked a

moving target on this story. neil: and greg, we are learning western intelligence official told the "washington post" that he has overplayed his hand. there is no way back for him. now, i do not know whether that's greeted as good news in ukraine. right now bakhmut responsible for trying to lock that demo russia at the cost of 20000 russian shoulders lives. do not know who is controlling or handling that for the russians now. it has added considerable disarray to this war and where russia is, right? that's absolutely i think disarray in general is good for the official fear in kyiv. it is spinning out of control. it is hard to know what that could mean. it could mean president putin taking our extreme measures. and, you have got, oh wagner

chief does he stay there? also try to put sc around that city? it is just sounding like the president putin video message that he is not going to compromise. he is not going to sit down and talk to can't remember his old good friend. they have been to try to reason with them. the words are too strong. this is absolute treason according to vladimir putin. and he cannot back down. one would think it will be easy to capitol but so far at least the whacker forces have some folks on the ground on their side. they took that city of 1 million without barely a fight. that is got to be a very disconcerting to the folks in moscow. neil: thank you we will no doubt be going back to you. by the way we are learning vladimir putin whatever length there was to prigozhin there are

quite close he respected his military strategy. that is gone now according to 1970 revolution this has ruptured their relationship. tell us what is at stake here. the "washington post" reported as well prigozhin it might have intended to drive a wedge between the russian military forces and the kremlin, he has failed. we will have more after this gro potting mix. that's it. miracle-gro. all you need to know to grow.

spit. neil: wanted to get to the streets of moscow. it is a real scene right now. this is the area the rebel group it is a rebel group tag with the wagner group is a mercenary soldier operation they fight for vladimir putin. they have been very loyal to h him. not so loyal to the russian defense forces. its leader claims have not been very helpful or loyal remotely.

we are talking about prigozhin as their leader right now has decided enough is enough of take matters into their own hands. he is trying to take over the defense ministry therapy that is the equivalent of trying to take over the pentagon in the united states. in so doing he called for russians to join wagner's campaign against the military leadership. saying they had made it possible one disaster after another from the rear referring to the russian military. also has set his sights on moscow if he does not get what he wants. he wanted a sympathetic hearing from vladimir putin inc. does not look like he's going to get it. mr. putin has said harsh consequences are insight for the organizers of this operation. quoting everyone who deliberately embarked on the path of betrayal who prepared and onward rebellion showed terrorist methods, they will suffer inevitable punishments.

this is in a five minute speech to the entire nation. moscow is right now under soviet tanks or i should say it russian tanks i slept there. this is very similar with the then soviet union did in hungary in 1956 but this is now happening in their own country were military authorities have the sort of down the city of moscow and said they have complete control there. there is no chance of a coup going on there. for what it is worth prigozhin says this is not a coup it is that military rebellion to take back our defenses. one garnering very little sympathy from vladimir putin himself. if there is a friendship or a kinship between he and the leader of russia that is long gone right now. let's just say it european leaders are perplexed. they are taking it all in. they are saying were following these abutments closely.

we have no idea it's going on here aware of this leads. that might sum up the reaction we are getting here which is collectively under the umbrella simply stunned of her let's go to lucas tomlinson at the white house for more. cracks we from russia's foreign ministry warning countries in the west not to be supporting this group of mercenaries as this march on moscow continues. what is most notable from greg palkot in the last segment help and oppose this march as vendor with not hurt any reports of casualties. this video you have showing rostov on don were at the wars being run out of your scene soldiers that can't know helmets and rifles at low kerri pointed straight down. it seems like this is virtually unopposed. there's also some unconfirmed reports russian president putin himself left moscow along with russian oligarchs. there is open source reporting like trackers unconfirmed but

flying out of moscow going to st. petersburg. for spider putin used to be the mayor of st. petersburg after he was a kgb agent. but right now certainly white house and state department pentagon is watching this very closely. included u.s. military european command. neil: we are learning as well vladimir putin at a phone call from the turkish president who expressed full support leadership. and that kremlin humility or talks the president might putin know that we know of president biden is here at the white house was david is going to be spending evenings notable dimension is a nato ally. in fact trying to play the west.

turkish president cap systems. home security device is still ringing home and where he lives kind of in the west even though there has been pentagon for years has been saying do not do that. you should buy at western equipment. one thing to note, neil, this ongoing struggle between the wagner these mercenaries and russian forces. a few months ago u.s. official told me just to show how much of both sides to hate each other wagner forces in ukraine, these mercenaries were telling ukrainians where the russian troops were. calling them out, writing them out if you will. the russian forces were doing the same to the wagner for that is how much both sides hate each other. right now we are seeing that boil over and now you have the wagner forces in russia marching on moscow it seems that march is virtually unopposed.

neil: just incredible thank you my friend will no doubt be going back to you momentarily. this bond you have heard from prigozhin and vladimir putin is legendary he's one of the soldiers who can speak bluntly to the russian later. even thank your troops are doing a lousy job. this ukraine war is turning into a farce. of course i'm paraphrasing here. vladimir putin would hear him out. many would assume the defense ministry itself putin had a special bond with prigozhin he was widely respected as such. ruthless leader back in the 1950s. but of course there's none of the ruthlessness attacks macarthur. he saying that he was widely as mccarthy widely was admired by his men to the point he would defend them at all costs. click famously remember speaking in ukraine and spicing russian

shed soldiers that can because of lack of support back home specifically referring to the defense ministry the others interpreted at the side as a hit on vladimir putin himself for additional investigation of god. vladimir putin hours ago saying this is a deadly threat to what prigozhin is trying to pull off to russia for you guys to watch that armed rebellion separately we are told putin and moscow in general have offered amnesty for any of the soldiers behind prigozhin right now from the wagner group to cease at ss but do not know if anyone is taking them up on that. many of those soldiers do not believe amnesty will be granted. if they surrender they simply will be put in jail or worse killed. there is a history of that. tenant colonel annie davis is with us what you think? what is the most bizarre thing i've seen in my entire lifetime or in military history. think about prigozhin. the reason why they got into

this trouble had the kremlin he was with wagner was the most successful military entity in the entire russian armed forces. they help win and mariupol, in trent eight and finally in bakhmut. note unit had anywhere near that success. they therefore gave him a lot of latitude they did not want to upset him they did not want to lose that capacity for the next level of fights they would have had. i think when he started making all these crazy claims going all the way back late last year they let him have a long leash certainly they have buyers remorse on that decision now. because prigozhin felt himself a bullet and he could do anything. now they have a horrible situation they got to try to navigate now. neil: colonel comic you think he gave any warning to his friend vladimir putin? that i've had enough of this or he anticipated putin would support him?

>> we cannot imagine there be anything less than that. it just seems illogical the two would have had some personal phone calls and top conversations given their history. one wonders what either side said to the others. all these claims going back hate we value you but you've got to play nice but we had to work together we had the same enemy. you cannot work against us here. that fact is he did not take any action. pushing did not do anything to reign in that minister of defense or the commander of the armed forces did not -- make no changes appear to be made. so it looked like he taken a hands off approach presumably with prigozhin took things into his own hands. neil: i noticed control of the city rostov on don which is two to 50 miles from the russian capitol moscow. we are told as well some of prigozhin troops are on the march to moscow.

hence the military locked out and moscow. it looks surreal. colonel i'm sorry but hectic take a quick break here i went back to little bit later. her monitoring is very, very closely letter putin himself is said this will not be tolerated. he promises immediate crackdown. so far much of these troops are going in the direction of moscoe with very little opposition. stay witthinh us. ower makes the cut. the mulch that finishes the look. and picking a color that pops. you got this. we got you. ... public health nursing and from the army reserve. my retirement funds allow me to

enjoy what i love to do. as long as you can make an impact, why stop?

♪ >> it's a very serious issue and it ripples in multiple ways. first of all, it impacts the war in ukraine because if wagner leaves the battlefield, you lose a very tenacious and capable force. of course, there's this, what putin calls the armed rebellion against his rule. although it's more about prigozhin and the agains
