now, we've heard some c.i.a. directors say some nasty things about presidents.stephen: i want a balloon. i want a balloon. i want a balloon. i want a balloon. >> give it to me. let it rip. let it rip. >> stephen: okay, so, eventually the republican senators in 1974, led by goldwater, once they'd heard the tapes, right. once they'd heard the tapes they marched over to the white house and said you've got to go because you're-- we're going to vote to impeach you. we're not on your side anymore. is that how it went down, essentially? >> we wrote a book called "the final days" about nixon's last years in office. we went to see barry goldwater, the 1964 nominee of his party for president. we went up to his apartment. he poured himself a big tumbler of whiskey, turned out his diary-- >> one for you and one for me, also. don't leave that out.

it is not the lightning quick takedown vladimir putin intended, but former c.i.a.enying russian progress. >> they have made grinding, costly, but substantial gains. they now control at least 20% of the country, if you include the areas, of course, they took control of back in 2014. >> reporter: a swath of territory that would look like this if it were in the united states. nortcarolina.om orlando to how do you think vladimir putin feels about the first 100 days? >> i'm not sure that he would look in the mirror and say this hasn't gone at all well. he would regard this as a work in progress. >> reporter: if russian forces are nowhere near as good as we thought they would be, are they still just good enough? >> they are plastering the areas where they find ukrainian resistance. but that can only go on so long because they're also taking very, very high losses. >> reporter: by some estimate, they have lost 15,000 killed and 1,000 tanks. the ukrainians, too, are suffering losses, 60 to 100 soldiers killed each day. but their equipment is being replenished by the u.s. a

.-6, the c.i.a., and this leonardo group. >> stephen: it's as simple as that!) "your honor, my client couldn't have been there on the night of the murder because he was with-- i don't know yet-- going to come out at some point. anyways, i blame the leonardo group. or donatello, michelangelo, or raphael. their pay-off was pizza. their codeword: cowabunga. heroes in a halfshell." ♪♪ ( cheers and applause ) kinzinger summed up how ridiculous the former president's conspiracy theories were: this is one of the best examples of the lengths to which the president trump would go to stay in power. scouring the internet to support his conspiracy theories, shown here, as he told mr. donaghue in that december 27 call, "you guys may not be following the internet the way i do." ( laughter ) >> stephen: on the toilet, with safe search off?

what about when the c.i.a. or the russians know we have this? they'll come after it for sure. - maybe we should take it to some place safer. - and then what? hide forever from the government, from the terrorists who want to use it for evil? maybe nobody is meant to have this kind of power. - you mean destroy it? - are you guys nuts? after everything we've gone through? - we got it away from the girls. that's what matters. but now the right thing to do isn't using it ourselves. then we're no better than they are. - think of the power. - it's too much power for anybody. stan's right. it has to be destroyed. - are we sure about this? we'll never know the future. - nobody will. that's the way its supposed to be. hit it, kenny. [explosion] - damn, ken. - here, here you see? it's going to be all right. hello, s-s-son. - hi, dad. - he was supposed to stay dead. - mom, dad, can i come upstairs now? - i'm sorry, son, but you're demon spawn now. you're an abomination. - can i please just have something to eat? i'm pretty hungry. - it's hungry. - yes, it m

i am a c.i.a. officer that was trained in a glok and m-4 semiautomatic for my three tours in iraq alongside the military. my husband's a career army officer and carried a weapon every day he was deployed. it is just something that is normal among the 99% of responsible gun owners in the state of michigan. it is because of that background that i fundamentally reject this idea that either you care about gun ownership or you care about school safety. that is a fundamentally false choice. in michigan as i said we have responsible gun owners everywhere. and since the shooting i have heard from more of them in the past two weeks than i have in the previous four years. active hunters and sportsmen who are strongly in favor of things like commonsense background checks so that mentally ill people don't get their hands on weapons. and certainly things like safe storage of weapons so that a child can't get a hold of a parent's weapon and use it to kill their peers. i have a bill that is going in -- in this pa

and the c.i.a.th alfa bank and came out in the trial that hillary clinton personally green lighted getting this allegation out, even though their own researchers said we may be mocked for this. smart people will see through this. well, they did the same thing. it went to the f.b.i., the media and they found very receptive people waiting for it. >> dana: incredible news out of that. thank you. fox news alert top of the hour, topping the news at least 69 people injured, 17 killed in 13 separate mass shootings this weekend including 15 shot in philadelphia, three of those fatally. all this as the senate tries to get agreement on new gun legislation. national gas prices double under president biden rising from $2.39 to his first day in office to $4.86 today. russia launching missiles against kyiv for the first time in more than a month as president putin threatens to escalate attacks hitting new targets if the west sends longer range rockets to ukraine. more stories throughout the morning. what could be

. >> the state department and c.i.a.ince mbs responsible for the murder of saudi journalist khashoggi who biden referenced. with the high price of gasoline and refusal to kick start more domestic production in the united states the white house applauding a move by saudi arabia to pump more oil. the united states welcomes the important decision from opec to increase supply by more than 200,000 barrels per day in july and august based on new market conditions. british prime minister boris johnson, french president macron have visited with mbs and urging president biden to do the same. >> let me just say first his words still stands. what you laid out still stands today what you just laid out. >> president biden expected to speak in the new job numbers and his trip to saudi arabia and apparent about face in u.s. policy. >> julie: thank you. >> bill: ambassador kurt volker with us now. former u.s. ambassador for nato. good morning to you. we go hand in hand in saudi arabia pleading with them to drill for more oil. the proble

let's bring in former c.i.a. station chief dan hoffman. your reaction to that?> it is vladimir putin's 21st century version trying to portray economic strength and righteousness on the world stage when in fact russia's economy is stronger than expected but it will contract by 15% this year and his military is raining down hell on innocent ukrainian civilians. never lose sight of that. >> bill: a quote from nbc. the early days of this conflict when some members of the administration were talking about winning and others not so much, apparently president biden not happy when blinken and austin talked about winning in ukraine. he was not happy with the rhetoric. how do you reflect on that now when you think it appears today the only way ukraine can win is if they have a successful insurgency in the southeastern part of the country. otherwise, they are going to lose the war in that aspect. >> i think that president putin has effectively deterred the biden administration from doing all that needed to be done for ukraine to win. i think the greatest provocation that w
