so i was funny, bad for jeff, rachel, if you could get what she wanted to get a way to do, i'm sure to get by force. you're not kito. she wants to have the kind of, or that the kind of international order said spartan agreed to have with roosevelt and churchill. that's what she will. and she wants the future himself as an all day span. stephanie, in recent months, russia has repeatedly pointed the finger at nato. some of even argue that nato is at least partially responsible for the outbreak of war, arguing that it's expansion in the early 2, thousands to include former soviet countries. is that the route of today's crisis? would you agree with that assessment? no, and a surprisingly, i don't agree with that assessment. let me, let me say, 1st of all, i mean that we do have principles and global principles, including our, the free choice of countries to determine their own security arrangements or nato didn't go around shopping and ask people to join advice. vice versa. countries like lithuania is still an error, the czech republic, poland, all these countries really sought to become a

will: thank you, jeff. rachel: thank you, jeff.n. what do you make of what's going on over there? >> well, there were a couple of things in that. i was listening to it in my ear as you all were when it was happening. you know, it's ironic, again, how during the trump presidency everything biden says they should do trump did, biden undid and is now going back pretending he didn't undo it. here's what i mean. he says, you know, article v, it's sacred, you know, the stability of europe matters. okay, great. well, it was trump who told the members of nato who would implement article v -- in other words, if you attack one of us, you attack all of nato, and we're all going to respond collectively -- pete, if you remember, it was donald trump who said to the nato countries, hey, nato's kind of useless if you're not going to put together enough of a military to attack back. is everyone forgetting this? is this like the men in black scene where they wave the thing and biden pretends none of it happened. >> it was donald trump who sat across

. >> rachel: not just the gas prices. jeff the national average as the sun comes up over our shoulder as you see there is almost not an empty pump out here despite $4.30 an average of gallon up a nickel down a little bit from yesterday which i guess you could say is good news. when we did a survey or at leastth a.a.a. did a little bit ago, 60% of folks said if prices got to $4 a gallon they would buy less gas. 75% of the $5. what is the reality? well, the reality is the folks that morning consult did a survey and the survey says only about a quarter of us have actually bought less gas since the prices came up. 68% about the same and 9% even bought more gas. you talked about other things going up as well like spring break vacation, folks at aaa say we are still going through with it, just going to cost us. listen. >> people have been cooped up because of covid. they are ready to break out. no exodus from those plans as a result of higher gasoline prices. >> in addition to prices renting a place to go. take a look at these numbe

rachel, will, pete,. >> not the friendliest greeting. thank you, jeff.fferent future, a brighter future, rooted in democrat saint principle, hope and light. for god's sake, this man cannot remain in power. >> calls for essentially re-p gem change which was -- regime change which was not in the script and forcing the white house to say this, the president's point was putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbor and the region, he was not discussing putin's power in russia or regime change. simply unbelievable. >> i said at the top he came, he saw, he confused. that's michael goodwin if in the new york post, laying it out. yesterday on the show we were talking about how he was soon to give a major address which in the middle of the day yesterday he gave. why was he giving a major address? because they recognize that the two and-a-half days before that were full of misstatements and confusion. so they were going to put him on a big stage with a big teleprompter and try to clarify everything. be in that speech, what did he do? he clarified, u.
