6:02 am
sunday." >> mike: hello from fox news in washington, global powers are flexing this week, russian president putin will welcome xi jinping to moscow on monday, just days after russia took out a u.s. drone flying in international air space. china appears to be working closely with putin, backing up his forces occupy ukraine as nato offers fighter jets to ukraine. in the middle, the biden administration under pressure to show strength on the world stage. we'll bring in john kirby for a conversation about the infamous drone incident and u.s. plans to counter china. let's turn to alexandria hoff for a look at what russia is up to, alex. >> alexandria: there is no question president putin is looking to strengthen his partner with china and bolster
6:03 am
world support as the chinese president is trying to frame his visit as diplomatic. >> when chinese president xi jinping announced his summit with putin, he said it is for the sake of peace, despite u.s. warning russia is providing to provide rush with. and any ceasefire from beijing would be one sided. announcement of the meeting was made the same day the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for russian president putin. for deportation of china in occupied territory into russia possession. >> alexandria: ukrainian children have been placed in filtration camps before being transferred to russia. president biden spoke to the title of putin as war criminal. >> president biden: it is justified, it is not recognize
6:04 am
by us, but makes a strong point. >> alexandria: the u.s. has started drone flights over the black sea. this video shows russian jets dropping fuel on the u.s. drone before one russian jet hit the propeller, prompting u.s. forces to bring it down. the u.s./russia relationship could ignite. >> whether or not they hit the drone on purpose, we don't know, it clearly demonstrates either poor airmanship or reckless behavior. >> alexandria: russia defense ministry says the pilots involved were given state awards. >> alexandria: president biden is dealing with collapse of the banks and some may be struggling to stay afloat. >> mike: alex, thank you.
6:05 am
we'll have more on silicon valley bank and how it impacts your money ahead. joining me is national security council for communications, john kirby. start with the american jet and drone. the russians suggested it was accidental, but awards were given to the fighter pilot, what is the latest in your view? >> john kirby: we can't determine if he meant to hit the drone or not, it was unprofessional and too aggressive flying on his part. clearly he did clip the propeller forcing us to bring it down into the black sea. reckless quite frankly. >> mike: chinese companies ha have -- holding joint naval exercises, president xi jinping is traveling to moscow tomorrow,
6:06 am
it feels like russia and china are trying to chip away at america's super power status. >> john kirby: this is in the national security strategy. so many allies and partners have built up relationships since world war ii, they don't like that. they would like to rewrite the rules of the game and they have been increasing their relationship of late. china has not condemned russia invasion of ukraine and they are buying russian energy and oil resources. they have given taccid approval, taking the russian claim this is threat against russia. the war is the west's fault. we'll watch what comes out of this meeting of president xi to moscow. what we've said before and will say today, if coming out of the
6:07 am
meeting there is a call for ceasefire, that is unacceptable. all that will do is ratify russia conquest to date. that will give mr. putin more time to retrain, reman and try to plan for renewed offensives at a time of hchoos. we hope president xi will call and talk to president zelenskyy, we believe the chinese need the ukrainian perspective. >> mike: there is tease of a phone call between president biden and president xi, you said there is not a phone call in the, wos. for diplomacy to work after the u.s. shot down the spy balloon, don't they need to talk? >> john kirby: the president wants to ep coo the lines of communication open with china. you heard him say he does want to set up another chance to talk to president xi and i suspect that will happen in due course when appropriate time to do so.
6:08 am
it is important, particularly when tensions are high between the two countries issue the leaders keep that line open and the president is committed to do that. >> mike: china increasing defense spending by 7%, biden would increase our defense spending by 3.2%. is there concern about the u.s. falling behind? >> john kirby: no, the u.s. will maintain and we are dedicated to that, you can look at the budget and see how much of that budget is dedicated to the threats and challenges our own national defense straty edgy says we need, from china and from north korea and frankly from russia. it is all in the budget, it is comprehensive. >> we will look forward to what we believe that this defense budget will do a lot to help
6:09 am
keep america's military capability the most prominent in the world. >> mike: former president trump teased yesterday he expects to be arrested and charged at doj, calling fo time he called for t protest was january 6, 2021, which we've branded nooshl security incident. do you have concern about national security this week? >> john kirby: we are always monitoring the situation here as best we can and don't want to see any activity grow violent, certainly nothing to the extent we saw on january 6, we're watching this and will watch it closely. we want to see if there are protests about any issue let alone this, they are peaceful. >> mike: you are not worried about security this week, no expressed threats you are aware of? >> john kirby: i am not preparing for that type of activity specifically with respect to the comments.
6:10 am
obviously we work hand in glove with local and state authorities around the country and will continue to watch this as best we can. >> mike: john kirby, thanks for your time. >> thank you. >> mike: bring in democratic senator chris van hollen, who serves on banking and foreign relations committee. welcome back to "fox news sunday." let's start foreign policy first, court charged putin with war crimes and atrocities, he may not end up in a courtroom because authorities do not recognize the icp. if he's trapped in russia, is that a good thing? >> we know putin and russia have been doing war crimes, they abduct children and forcibly put them in russia. this is a signal that the rest of the international community, icc, recognizes war crimes have
6:11 am
been committed. yes, it will further isolate putin except from people like president xi, who is traveling to moscow. >> wha this week? >> you have birds of a feather flock together. china is nervous about the fact nato has been united and we are united with asian democratic partners and have a front against authoritarianism. this is essential we continue to support the ukrainian people and this is just another example of why you can't say you're tough on china if you're weak on russia and the fight in ukraine. >> mike: put on your banking house, key member of the senate banking committee. silicon valley bank, before the collapse, banks asked congress to ease up on the rules, should
6:12 am
congress revisit the changes to keep more bank failures to come? >> sen. van hollen: it was mistake for congress to roll back the strictest scrutiny that applied to silicon valley bank, done during the trump administration. as to what happened here, we need to do post-mortem, i serve on the banking committee, we will hold hearings to get to the bottom of what happened here and just as importantly, try to figure out what steps need to be taken going forward. good news here was that the president made clear and the biden administration made clear no bail-out, no bail-out for the bondholders, we want to protect depositors to not see contagion spread throughout the banking industry. i believe we should work to claw back the profits made by the ceo and others through stock sales on the eve of this collapse. we need to make sure they are
6:13 am
contributing to the effort to make sure depositors are whole. >> mike: to that point about executives making money in this deal, the president called for legislation to go after executives who may have mismanaged things.ll take up? >> sen. van hollen: i hope so, we have the provision in place for the biggest banks and need to make sure executives like these at silicon valley bank are also under that rule because to see them sell a lot of stock, make a profit on the eve of the collapse of their own bank, which is causing this ripple effect throughout the other banks, we need to make sure they are held accountable as we shore up the banking system which i think we're doing. i think you can see that fast response has made a big difference. >> mike: will we back all banks if there is further crisis?
6:14 am
>> sen. van hollen: welet not bail out any banks, there is a question going forward how we deal with deposits over $250,000 as are being covered here. what the mechanism if we do that at all, is very much up to debate. >> mike: your colleague senator elizabeth warren says jerome powell should recuse himself from internal review of bank failure saying his actions directly contributed to emthis. here is how "new york times" put it this week, the federal reserve role as lead agency has obscured failure as agency responsible for supervising the bank in the first place. what is their culpability and do you trust them to be transparent about what they learned? >> sen. van hollen: first of all, we need, when i say we, congress needs to get the most recent exams that were done of silicon valley bank. camel is the acronym that stands
6:15 am
for super visery review, we need to get the results, we have not seen them yet. federal reserve had embarked on an effort to further regulate banks and got pushback from my colleagues in the banking committee and they need to push forward on that. in terms of the investigation, i think the fbi and justice department need to be involved and will be involved. i do not think we should leave it to federal reserve system. >> mike: energy. this week biden approved a drilling projects, one of the biggest inner years. in 2008, you pushed to not allow new oil well drilling anywhere, do you support the decision to green-light willow? >> sen. van hollen: in this case, my understanding of what biden administration said, they had legal and ontractual obligation to go forward with conoco phillips and i'm not
6:16 am
second-guessing their lawyer's judgement. we need to focus on deployment of clean energy and that is why we passed a major initiative to do exactly that as part of the inflation reduction act. look, as of today, we are producing record amounts of gas in the united states. we're on track this year to produce record amounts of oil. we have a climate crisis and i do believe that we need to be doing much more as we're beginning to do, in deploying home-grown clean energy, whether solar, wind, other courses of clean energy to help on the climate front and produce good paying jobs here in the united states. >> mike: what do you say to those say this is president biden pivoting to the center about re-election? >> sen. van hollen: i don't think so, i think the president has been very clear on this and if you have a legal obligation
6:17 am
to do something with the federal government, you have to follow through. there will be lawsuits filed to test that proposition, but i think the assessment of the biden administration lawyers was litigation would cost the american taxpayer millions and conoco phillips would still be able to proceed. we should focus on clean energy deployment and it makes it harder for the united states to say to the brazilian government, don't cut down those trees or do deforestation of the amazon for timber when we're going forward. i do think this puts more burden on the biden administration to supercharge our clean energy deployment. >> mike: senator chris van hollen, thanks for your time. shoring up markets after the second largest bank collapse in u.s. history, up next, we will bring in mohamed el-erian
6:18 am
whether he sees shakier times ahead for banking system and if u.s. regulateos are are making the right moveings to protect your bank. >> "fox news sunday" is brought to you by bdo, people who know, know bdo.

paiers -- taxpayers a single dollar. in a moment, allianz chief joins us live on who bears responsibility and what the fed needs to do to help banks without making inflation worse. let's turn to charles payne on the rapid meltdown that got us to this point? >> silicon valley bank, the lender at the center much the venture capital world, second largest bank failure within u.s. history within 48 hours. what went wrong? created over a poker game 40 years ago, silicon valley bank produced tech start ups like roblox and roku, brought billions of u.s. treasures and mortgage bonds at ultra-low interest rates. these investments are considered best on the planet, to tame inflation, caused bonds to lose
6:22 am
valley. silicon valley bank revealed it sold securities at loss of $1.8 billion to plug holes in financing, sparking calls which spilled to social media feeding frenzy that fuelled this. >> move part of the funds, that is frightening position to be in that anything above $250 k could disappear. >> it is going on all over social media and seems like it was hysteria. >> we were panicking, a lot of us. >> the stock was in free fall as customers tried to withdraw 42 billion in deposits. regulators moved in to shut down silicon valley bank and signature bank two days later. emergency measures were taken to protect depositors, even those above $250,000. >> this is a bailout, they will pass the fee to other banks. >> biden administration did
6:23 am
right using systemic risk of dod d-frank to jump in. >> reverse part of the trump era rollback despite receiving democratic support at the time. >> banking should be boring. we have a chance in congress to make banking more boring again. >> all eyes on federal reserve which meets on wednesday. members are torn between keeping financial markets stable and bringing down sky-high inflation. >> mike: charles payne from new york, thanks very much. joining me is moment, chief economic advisor at allianz, welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> thanks for having me, mike. >> mike: what went wrong, you see bank management issue and lack of supervision, svb had 93.8% of deposits uninsured. the average is around the 50s, how did svb get it wrong and why
6:24 am
did regulators allow them to get it so wrong? >> mohamed: three things came together, one mismanagement by svb. two is lapse in supervision, you had a bank that grew under the nose of the federal reserve and physical reserve did not pay enough attention and third issue impacting us well beyond the banking system, one of the worst policy mistakes by the federal reserve and way it handled interest rate increases. it did nothing for a while mischaracterizing inflation as transzitery, it wasn't transitory in one of the most pronounced interest rate cycles and that destabilized weak institutions, weak individuals and weak companies. >> mike: concerns over what happens now, the two banks failed because they didn't have enough liquidity. big banks
6:25 am
signalled panic over the last eight days, large banks borrowed from the federal reserve discount window to shore up reserve, the week before the same banks boried 4.6 billion, this indicates concern, what are your concerns? >> mohamed: my concern comes from deposit base. get questions asking are my deposits safe? yes, they are and they say, what do i lose if i move to the biggest bank? the biggest banks are too large to fail. what we're seeing is mid-size banks, regional banks losing deposits to the big banks. those banks need cash and go to the fed window that we talked about and we have seen an explosion. the fundamental problem, destabilize deposit base and deposits are safe, i want to stress, deposits are safe, people think they should be
6:26 am
extra careful and taken to the biggest banks. >> mike: svb -- people will get to keep their funds even though the bank mismanaged itself and failed. here is how it was in the "wall street journal." observers fear the decision to disregard the $250,000 on insured deposit could generate deposits regardless of the amount, invitation to irresponsibility. so how do you deter banks from taking irresponsible risk to increase profits and bonuses in the future? >> mohamed: he's right on the first, once you relax the 250 limit for this bank, you will relax it for other banks otherwise you will be accused of favoring the itch rich and tech industry.
6:27 am
once they have done it, that is reality. will it lead to irresponsible behavior? that is certainly a risk and why you have to contain what is called moral hazard and make sure you supervise banks properly, the problem we're not talking about enough is twofold. one, we will see increase in lending standards, credit less available to the economy, which means another headwind to growth and secondly, we haven't seen end of consequences of such a mishandled interest rate cycle. biggest fed policy mistake in years. >> mike: working hand and glove with janet yellen, came up with solution to make 30 billion of uninsured deposits into first republic bank to keep it afloat, finance experts say they have not seen this before, teaming up for the good of the system. have you ever seen a move like this and was it the right one?
6:28 am
>> mohamed: we have seen it in the past, it is called private sector solution, the private sector comes in and builds a firewall to make sure it doesn't come to it. we have a strong banking system as whole, not every single bank is strong. in the interest of other banks to isolate the weak banks. the money was only in their 120 days, government is helping for a whole year and people said that is not enough and that is why it is not holding yet. hopefully it will hold, it is not holding yet. >> mike: prices are still rising, you said the federal reserve credibility is at stake and their policy role is too tied up with separate issue of silicon valley bank failing. what is balance you think they need to strike here? >> mohamed: worst thing they can do is blink in the eye in the
6:29 am
front of financial instability. they have done that over and over again and that is why we are in this problem. they should do two things. one, raise interest rates by 25 basis points because we have inflation problem and we need to get over this inflation problem and second, they need to remind people credible, that we have multiple tools. interest rate policy to deal with inflation and other tools to deal with financial instability. european central bank did it on thursday and it worked there. hopefully the fed has enough credibility to do it here. >> mike: do you see signs additional banks are at risk if the fed does raise rates? >> mohamed: i worry more about the nonbanks, shadow banking system, where regulation supervision has been worse. there is risk we may see a few
6:30 am
accidents. when you drive very fast on the freeway as the fed did in the middle of fog and you panic and hit the brakes, you will cause financial accidents and may cause economic accidents in terms of recession. >> mike: how critical is reaching a deal between ubs and its rival credit suisse? >> mohamed: really important, you don't want another bank and suisse is second largest bank. they are trying to have a shotgun wedding. i think it will happen, but this is really complicated marriage that neither side is entering into willingly. >> mike: mohamed el-erian, thank you, thanks for breaking this down for us today. as u.s. marks 20 years since start of the iraq war, congress debates taking away the president's war powers. up next, our sunday group what
6:31 am
this means for u.s. might around the world. think he's posting about all that ancient roman coinage? no. he's making real-time money moves with merrill. so no matter what the market's doing, he's ready. and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company.
6:34 am
before the xfinity 10g network we didn't have internet that let us play all at once. every device? in every room? why are you up here? with speeds like this, i can't even dream of what he'll be able to do. get xfinity internet for just $25 a month with no annual contract during our limited time launch celebration. you have no idea how good you've got it. huh? what a time to be alive. introducing the next- generation 10g network. only from xfinity. >> what do you make of someone like governor desantis, who while there is a strain of
6:35 am
isolationism throughout american history, saying this is not in america's strategic interest to side with the ukrainians? >> if you really understand the issues, you probably would not make statements like that. >> mike:s have president kamala harris criticizing ron desantis for calling invasion of ukraine territorial dispute. it is time for our sunday group, usa white house correspondent, >> francesca: senior analyst juan williams, jason chaffetz and former special assistant for national security to president bush, michael allen. welcome. >> good to be with you. >> thank you. >> mike: jason, governor desantis is taking heat from fellow republicans, chris
6:36 am
christie, and john thune. >> there are lots of different opinions on u.s. involvement in ukraine, the majority opinion among senate republicans is stopping russian aggression. >> mike: what does this say about desantis ability to talk foreign policy if and when he is a presidential candidate? >> he served overseas in the united states military, very ably. he, i think governor desantis takes position majority of the republican base takes, tired of endless wars and what the governor is saying, reflective of what donald trump, former president is taking and majority of republicans is, yes, protec need to start world war iii and
6:37 am
get entangled overseas in perpetuity. we put $100 billion toward the effort, should be a limitation to how much we do there. >> mike: michael, "wall street journal" saying this was the governor's first big mistake, "mr. putin will set up shop closer to the border and u.s. will be drawn deeper into the continent problem not focusing on threat posed by china, which will conclude the u.s. is weaker," is that the world president desantis wants to inherit? was this a major political blunder? >> michael: i agree, republicans are worried about endless wars and president biden is not giving a muscular case for why this might be in the united states's interests. one thing i saw from desantis
6:38 am
statement, he is not isolationist, he is worried about china. russia and china are in alliance. of course xi jinping is going to russia tomorrow. quickest way to deter china from invading taiwan is to enable ukrainians to finish the job as soon as possible against russia. if we give up now, that does nothing but embolden xi, he believes the west has no staying power and give up at first sign of trouble. >> juan: the skunk at this garden party. if governor desantis wants to talk about foreign policy, in answer to your question, mike, he has to understand that americans primary concern at this moment are about china and russia. and you can't say that i'm tough on china, but i'm weak on russia to mike's point, right? you have
6:39 am
to understand that china and russia are in fact two author tearian regimes with common interest in terms of spreading their ideology and incursions on other people's land. as senator rubio said, it is like the united states saying it is a matter of trouble that we will take over canada or bahamas. that is ridiculous. this is a statement that was contradictory to what desantis stood for when in congress. flip flop from his pog when he was urging president obama to take a tougher stand against russia and putin incursion into ukraine in 2015, i believe, when he was in congress. he's saying, i want to be like trump or i think this is what the base wants. he's not a leader, he is a follower. >> we have something in congress at that point, do you want to respond? >> russians went in and took crimea and took 25% of georgia.
6:40 am
there was not a tough pushback on either instances, he is not saying don't do anything. he says we have to have balance, to your point, yes, take care of china, china is premiere concern of this country right now. >> francesca: this is not where most of congress, including most republicans in congress are. when you look at polling that shows you have four in 10 americans who say they don't want to have this kind of level of aid to ukraine at this point. it does show this is where the republican base is moving. it does suggest there could be a shift, dramatic shift in the republican party at this point in the foreign policy arena. >> i agree that republican support for ukraine has gone down over the last few mong months, but republicans almost 63% believe that if russia were
6:41 am
to win, that would seriously impact u.s. national security interests. so what does that tell me? republicans are still very interested in ukraine and they want to see ukraine win and the counter offensive is coming very soon. we have not seen a lot of battlefield action lately, it felt like a stalemate recently. the spring offensive starts soon and once you see ukrainians succeeding, republican support will be buoyed and they will see it is having effect. >> mike: talking about tiktok in the national security threat from that. there is talks of banning tiktok in this country, what are you hearing? >> francesca: it is interesting, chris sununu banned it on government devices, he says he doesn't want to see a ban
6:42 am
nationwide. he believes americans should have the choice as to whether or not they download it and he asked how it would be when you have more than 100 million people who download it on their phone, how it would be enforcible and one thing the biden administration is looking at, saying you have to disinvest. bite dance have to no longer be involved and chinese owners would no longer be involved in it. here is the way that you would enforce this is to make tiktok sell. >> mike: michael, we tease 20 years after the iraq war, your thoughts 20 years later? >> michael: invasion of iraq was born from experience on 9/11. iraq didn't have anything to do with 9/11, but people realized al qaeda would use airplanes to kill thousands of americans, we realize, you know what, they would not be deterred from using
6:43 am
chemical or biological weapons and what is most likely place they would get those? saddam was the supposition made, he was an international outlaw. i don't believe the iraqi invasion would have happened if not for 9/11 and seering experience of what al qaeda would do if they got their hands on wmd. >> mike: juan, your thought 20 years later? >> juan: i see news coverage on our channel and elsewhere about it, most agree, iraq is better place without saddam hussein. there is more corruption and competition and some think more chaos, but better place. in terms of politics of washington, the effort to say we want to tie the president's hand in the future, we don't want president to have unilateral authority to start wars, an
6:44 am
agreement on military force. i think that will be revoked. i think this congress will say it is too much. do i think it will tie the president's hand? i think the commander-in-chief has ability to put boots on the ground and congress will be in position to support the troops, if not in full agreement with the president. >> mike: we have to take a break, up next former president trump claims his arrest is imminent over investigation about hush money payment during his 2016 campaign. our panel weighs in next.
6:46 am
i'm jayson. i'm living with hiv and i'm on cabenuva. it helps keep me undetectable. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva is two injections, given by my healthcare provider, every other month. it's really nice not to have to rush home and take a daily hiv pill. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding,
6:47 am
or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. ready to treat your hiv in a different way? ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. every other month, and i'm good to go. >> i want to be krift cal clear, we should not want to live in a country where the party in power is able to use police force to arrest its political opposition. i do not want to see that day come to pass in this country. >> mike: republican presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy criticizing joshua diemert of former president donald trump and calling it unamerican for ruling party to use power to arrest political opponents. we are back with the panel. former president trump dropped
6:48 am
the bombshell saying the far and away leading candidate and former president of the united states of america will be arrested on tuesday of next week, protest, take our nation back. michael, how unprecedented is this and the impact on 2024? >> michael: incredibly unprecedented, this sounds like old technical things nobody understands. i wish this wouldn't happen, i think the country needs to look forward to new leadership and quit litigating the past. the effect on 2024, i believe people who are pro-trump will get very upset, as will other republicans. it reminds people that president trump has a lot in his past that may be something republicans need to look forward instead of looking behind and figure out a
6:49 am
way to win next time rather than reminded of issues during his presidency. >> francesca: perspective republican candidates are having to determine if to weigh in and support the former president or if they want to say, this is another reason to move on from donald trump. you saw mike pence try to thread that needle yesterday saying he thought it was politically motivated and you have not seen ron desantis say much about this at all. to your point, the democrats i've been talking to over the last 24 hours have been telling me they could see a situation where this boosts his fundraising and poll numbers and they think in the long-term that helps them in the general election and could have help his base. >> mike: here is lindsey graham's take on it. >> the prosecutor of new york has done more to help donald
6:50 am
trump get elected president than any single person in america today. this is selective prosecution. if i were president trump, i would take this to the damn supreme court. >> mike: juan, do you worry this could make former president trump a martyr? >> juan: yes, that is what he's doing. yesterday he called for protest, he want political circus to distract from the idea there are real criminal charges. prosecutor in new york was reluctant to bring charges. we don't know if there is a new reason to act, but he is acting and there is a real criminal charge. that is not politics, but trump wants political circus. he says everybody will say, maybe we shouldn't do this, a former president. he's, by the way, potentially going to face charges in fulton county georgia and about taking
6:51 am
classified documents to mar-a-lago, more substantial criminal charges he might face and i think trump is about, this is politics. this is a democratic regime. it is not about that. look at the actual case, he is charged with substantial crimes. >> mike: jason jamika i disagree, we hear, donald trump did this and that, they never charged him. of all the things to charge him, this? state crime in a federal race? statute of limitations is a problem. it was nuisance payment and people are sick and tired of, they will come after donald trump for paying money to deal with nuisance charge and bidens are taking millions out of china and nobody says a word or goes after them or pays takening.
6:52 am
