dagen: u.s.ay 22 of russia's deadly invasion. joining us now, i-boss ceo paul a martini. you say the next escalation between russia and the u.s. is, quote, an all-out cyber war. how bad can it get. >> it is already cyber war. we're living in a situation right now where all these applications are all over the place, data services, living in the cloud, living in your office, most organizations don't even know where their data and applications sit. they're vulnerable. the door is wide open. vulnerabilities are out on a daily basis. there was a dump of 95 a vulnerabilities on march 6th. there's so much going on in the space right now leaving a lot of organizations vulnerable. dagen: mark tepper, jump in. >> yeah. so i mean, look, when it comes to cyber security, obviously this was supposed to be modern warfare and all of a sudden you saw what russia did to the ukraine and obviously i'm looking at these things from an investment standpoint. i'm looking at cyber security stocks like z scaler, palo alto

dagen: i will not criticize you. i think you have a way under different way every time but all get to write one day. where american troops are being moved. we moved 12000 troops so far. we have seven or 8000 and poland, quite a few in lot vi. some of these are italians and will bring it -- a vehicles. the point about the map does it not look like we are posturing for war with russia. you think there's any more to this talking about bringing in fighter jets. you think our government has a plan that were not privy to, do you think award with russia is more likely than not at this point? dagen: no, i will not take that step and say that out loud. in terms of the jets that poland would provide the soviet era jets to ukraine potentially. jennifer griffin reported the jets had to be retrofitted if the u.s. backfill's and replaces the polish aircraft in the jets that go into ukraine. we would offer replacements but we cannot hand over the current equipment that the united states uses. however, jennifer griffin reported that

dagen mcdowell, jump in. dagen: i wanted to point out that investors should wake up and watch what is a rapid-fire realignment of world power happening in front of our eyes. because of american weakness and fecklessness, the fact that we look pretty dog gone broke right now with a debt to gdp of about 130, 135%, yesterday saudi arabia invited xi jinping from china to visit the kingdom amid strained u.s. relations. the quote in the article says that there are doubts about washington's staying power. that's not washington. that's the u.s. especially after the rushed u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan. many of its regional partners are seeking out new security and economic ties, that's a direct quote from the wall street journal news article. so investors should be paying close attention to that because russian oil and natural gas is still flowing. we might have cut it off but it's still going to europe and china and there is an axis developing or strengthening of russia and china and saudi arabia and india and ev

dagen, why? why?minals get back on the street within an a hour? dagen: the left, they coddle criminals and treat victims and law abiding residents like utter garbage. the focus of the left's policies is to empty the jails. period. and there is actual legislation from like members of the squad to get rid of the federal prison system in 10 years and that means releasing everybody in federal prison including the boston marathon bomber, i would assume. but this is what happens a when you don't lock up people who are violent criminals. this guy by the way at moma is on his facebook account posting on facebook and they can't find him? maria: unbelievable. you know, you say the left. but in fact kamala harris, the vice president was one of the people who said she doesn't want -- she wants bail reform across the country, not just in new york and la. ken. ken: look, this is about america, giving second chances, third chances but 20 priors, 30 priors -- if you have 20 priors or 30 priors, you probably committed

dagen: right.urprised it's this high, quite frankly, because you combined incompetence and incoherence from this president and you get a tire fire in the white house. just over the weekend, again, he can't even communicate clearly to the american people and to the world. it wasn't just the biden seeming to call for regime change in russia and then the white house had to backtrack on that. on friday, when he he was talking to members of the army's 82nd airborne, he seemed to suggest they'd be going into ukraine. he was talking about -- he said you're going to see when you're there the bravery of women standing in the middle of tanks. what is he talking about? this is on top of the wide open border, the botched withdrawal from afghanistan, 40 year high inflation, wages falling more than 2 and-a-half percent when adjusting for that inflation. and also joe biden has been incredibly divisive. remember when he told vaccinated people they had every right to be angry at unvaccinated which is poppycock. rem

dagen: right.ed that the number of americans who don't think biden will run again isn't significantly higher. this president from day one has been weak and weaker as the months have rolled on in appearance, in word, and in deed. he is not up to the task of leading the united states on the world stage. he has sent vice president kamala harris overseas recently and she can't string a sentence together that is coherent. so i don't know how anybody could think that this man would run for president again. maria: well, it's pretty extraordinary, tammy, the way the united states and the world, by the way, has changed in just 13 months, isn't it? tammy: it is. look, he shouldn't have run in the first place. if there was logic and reason involved in what the democrats were doing. this never should have happened. we now know for sure why he was based in the basement. we know why he was never allowed out. because this would have become apparent. and i think these new polls are an example more of a no confiden

maria: well, what courage, dagen. dagen: indeed.ing about it for the last couple of weeks, connect to the patriotism and the strength and the resolve of the ukrainian men who are fighting and the women and children and all of the older ukrainians who have had to leave their lives behind and they might not ever see them again. but just the -- we will not forget. i'll just point to the front page of the new york post today. this is a mother and her two children who were murdered in the street next to their luggage by putin's artillery, cut down in the prime of their lives. these are the images that will stay with us forever and we stand with the ukrainian people and do not stand with vladimir putin ever. maria: yeah. that's right. coming up, biden blames russia for the sky-high price of gasoline in the united states. even though prices were moving up before the invasion. one senator pushes back, saying these prices were up before the last 12 days. stay with us. dad, we got this. we got this. we got this. we got this. we got this. yay!

at home. >> i think that's right, dagen.pplies, you're giving vladimir putin the money that he needs to prosecute war and all the of the terrible human rights violations he's committing. but we're not doing that for the same reason that the europeans didn't want to fully cut off the russian banks. it's because, you know, they have european branches, and they have ties back to russia that they don't want to interfere with. it's politically very treacherous for them. look, the cost to u.s. consumers are already punitive. those costs will only increase if the united states does not decide to use the energy supplies that are sitting right under our feet. that would be very painful politically, but i think the pressure will build particularly as the oil price moves up, you know, 110, 120, 15 to -- 150, how high can it go? it also puts the fed in a very difficult position because they're going to have to do something to tamp down this inflation. maria, i know this is a debate you've been having on your show about how far they can

dagen: likely.ind of turn on joe biden because he's so wildly unpopular. the big media journalists, if you can call them that, and reporters, they are more concerned about their owny he os and reputations than they are the ego and reputation of an adult commander in chief. miranda divine has an article about this today and she points out that the media are trying to downplay, underplay and even dismiss any involvement that joe biden had with hunter biden's business dealings but as you've always said, maria, this is a joe biden story, not a hunter biden story. miranda divine points out in the washington post he review of the contents of the laptop, they do mention hunter biden's business dealings with the chinese energy conglomerate but they fail to mention a $6 million payment from cf -- the chinese company into the business bank account of rob walker, a trusted biden family friend. rob walker's wife was the assistant of jill biden when she was the second lady. i could go on. but they left that out,

dagen: right.on something you were saying just a few minutes ago and that if any if russian nations are buying russian -- western nations are buying oil and natural gas, you are funding this attack on the ukrainian people. and it remains to be seen why the united states hasn't stepped up and cut off the oil that a we buy from russia. we don't need to buy it. it's supplemental. it's about 700,000 barrels a day really around the highs, it can be even less based on the month. i touched base with tom kloza yesterday, and he said that it's supplemental, and the oil that we get from russia can be replaced in our refineries the from other places. say, we could get it -- gulf coast refiners can get it, other domestic sour crude or, say, increase imports of canadian oring even latin american heavy grades of crude. so while we're still -- it's different with europe because 40% of europe's natural gas comes from russia. hugely feint if on russia -- dependent on russia. but the united states does not need to b

dagen: right.ople who move to florida need to remember why they moved there in the first place and gavin newsom ought to focus on governing his own state because it's ab, c, anywhere but california. you have overleaning government there, you have regulations and orders that have done in businesses and destroyed livelihoods and then you have the dictatorial leaders like gavin newsom who can't follow their own orders and i think their governorship is best exemplified by him being at the french laundry without a mask when restaurants were closed and where those entire state was forced to wear a mask even in places outdoors. but i will note that people -- more people are moving out of the state than moving in and during one period during covid every single county in california had fewer people moving in from out of state, crime, high taxes, folks don't want to live there and i think that the magician that gavin newsom stole his hairdo in las vegas would probably do a better job running that state. mari

dagen, how do you see it?ay that they announced the release of this oil was 30 million barrels from the outs strategic reserve -- u.s. strategic reserve which is a day and-a-half of supply, 60 million was the total released. that is less than one day's global demand. and as joe biden was speaking in the state of the union adress, oil futures were spiking and it just seems that he could have stood up there and said to the american people this is a war that will be fought with the price of oil and with economics and he could have said to americans that we need to tolerate these higher prices in order to -- in the short run, to starve vladimir putin. that he needed to say we need to reduce demand which might mean higher prices but also pump more oil. that is america first. that is made in america. but he didn't say anything of the sort. instead, he still talked about this vision for america that follows germany which bogg les the mind because germany is m in the vice grip of russia because it relies on russia for

dagen mcdowell and joe concha with me this morning, dagen, your assessment of the speech.: the border is open because of joe biden's policies and he clearly thinks that the american people are a bunch of suckers that will lap this up including fund the police line where he's up there grinding. he's never stood behind any of these ideas even before he was elected president. remember the riots during the summer of 2020? where were kamala harris and joe biden then? this is a man in a speech disconnected from reality and last night served the unappetite that he's been dishing to the american people for about a year and he didn't bother to warm it over. if you look at inflation as an example, his fiscal policy along with the compliance federal reserve have sentish nation to 40-year high. what is he proposed to do. he didn't call it build back better but he wants to spend more money making the problem worse, so spending borrowed money for inflation. he talked about made in america, inflation and russia, well, you want to promote made in america lower inflation and starve and sto

dagen mcdowell is here this morning, dagen, jump in. dagen: jim lowell, do you need to factor in the possibility that the biden administration makes a mistake, another mistake, even bigger mistake i'm not talking about begging venezuela or even iran or saudi arabia to pom -- pump more oil when continuing to turn their backs on u.s. producers. i'm talking about price control which would create a horrific supply shortage because they're going to look to do something to appease the voters and maybe make a mistake. >> well, dagen, i think a that is a big risk coming down the pike. a political risk. we know washington is focused not so much on the near term or even the long-term issues that impact investors. they're focused on the midterms. so yet another mistake? absolutely would not rule that out. the whole pitch of energy independence based as it is on an ideology more than the facts on the ground will have to be sorted through. perhaps the midterm elections can help along that score. between now and then i would expect politics to add an

dagen mcdowell is looking at all of this. what was the administration waiting for?losi was there several days ago. >> a ban has already happened because of the private sector. there is already a defact o ban on russia oil in place. that's how late president biden is. u.s. refiners and buyers of oil won't touch russian oil. you had ports that wouldn't touch it. tanker companies wouldn't touch it. even port workers. there have been reports of them refusing to unload tankers of russian oil that showed up in their ports say in the united kingdom. there is already a ban that's gone on. i think in the last week or so 70% of oil didn't even come out of russia because of that ban. shell actually today had to come forward and apologize for buying a cargo of russian oil last week and is vowing to stop development and work in russia from here on out long run. that's where the industry is and how far behind joe biden is. biden at his state of the union address and even today needs to stand up in front of the american people and say this is what we have to do. we need to sacrifi

and right now you heard dagen talking about the leases, 9,000 of those they say is untapped.l from the department of interior and a couple thousand more of those 9,000 leases are tied up in court from environmental lawsuits. back to you guys. >> john: edward, thank you so much. >> sandra: in addition to vladimir putin, democrats are trying to pin the blame on oil companies for the record high gas prices. some critics are saying those companies are just a scapegoat for the white house while pushing their far left agenda. let's bring in our fox news panel. welcome to both of you. gary, you first. is this the solution to a lot of pain that the american people are facing when it comes to the skyrocketing energy prices? >> i suppose, sandra, this is the solution if you've not seen the movie "casablanca" where they round up the usual suspects like they usually do, bring them in, hit them over the head and then they good off and i guess in theory just, you know, willingly lower prices. look, the fact is, this scapegoating is laughable, insult to business. exxon in the eight quarters

"varney & company" begins right now. stuart: great show, maria. good morning to you and good morning to everyone. bad news on the inflation front, consumer prices rising, energy prices hitting new highs. all right, let's go. here are the numbers. the consumer price index went up 7.9% in the last year, that's another 40-year high. these numbers are for february, that means the spike in energy prices in the last 10 days is not included. the energy spike continues. the average for a gallon of regular gas is now $4.32, and that's up at 7 cents just overnight. diesel crossed the $5 mark. the average is now $5.06. we are in an inflationary spiral. we've not seen anything like this in two generations. i'll get to the financial market reaction in just a moment, but thirst first this: terrible see. a maternity hospital bombed, three dead. in that city they are burying the bed in -- the dead in mass

dagen mcdowell and steve forbes. jackie, take ait away. jackie: more devastation in two ukraine overnight. multiple casualties reported. satellite images show the 4-mile long convoy on its way to kyiv and has dispersed. it has repositioned along tree lines and neighboring town. we will take you live to kyiv for the latest. the refugee crisis growing by the minute. the united nations saying that 2 and a half million ukrainians have fled since russian's invasion. president biden will deliver remarks, we will take you there live. meanwhile, what was so funny? vice president harris laughing oddly during joint press conference with poland's president. the laugh came when they were talking about refugees, nonetheless. tammy bruce is going to take that on for us. let's take a look at the markets right now see how we are position today open. looks like it's a higher open on wall street. dow indicated higher by 232. s&p 500 by 33 and take a look at price of oil as well. it's up about a penny, 106.03 for wti and gas prices rising again overnight, av

it's great to be with you both this morning, dagen mcdowell and joe concha. more to discuss tomorrow. "varney & company" begins right now. thanks for joining us. stu, take it away. stuart: all right, maria, good morning, everyone. no change of course. the president is sticking with the policies that have got him into so much trouble the first year. to fight inflation, he'll spend more money and go after big corporations which he thinks are price gouging. on energy, no change. the keystone pipeline will not be built. no new drilling or fracking for oil or nat gas. on ukraine, the president forcefully rallied support, but he did not stop russia's oil sales to america, and he ignored our failure to deter russian invasion. he said we've already -- we were ready. but if we'd been ready, russia wouldn't have invaded. those are my three big takeaways from the state of the union speech, and here's the result of those three items, a huge increase in the price of oil. we hit $112 a barrel this morning, highest level in about 9 years, and certain to set off a new round

thank you so much, dagen mcdowell and gianno caldwell. have a great day, everybody. we'll see you again tomorrow. "varney & company" begins right now. stu, take it away. stuart: good morning, maria and everyone. let's see if we can make sense of this. another record high for gas and diesel prices and a very big rally for stocks. let's start with this, no joy for drivers. the average price of a gallon of regular gas is now $4.25. we have never paid more for a fill-up. diesel also setting a brand new high, $4.88 a gallon. all of this means that inflation will continue to run hot, and workers will continue to see their wages eroded. look at the market rally. lots of chatter this morning that the big selloff has gone far enough, time for a rebound, time for some dip buying maybe. it's certainly a bounce from yesterday. the dow's going to be up close to 500 points, s&p up 67, and look at that nasdaq go, 280 points to the upside at the opening bell this morning. we always have to say it, we have no idea how it's going to close. oil holding around, what, $118, 117 a barrel
