jen: yes. reporter: [indiscernible] the read-out [indiscernible] so can you at least say after a two-hour call, is the white house confident knowing where xi stands and you don't want to tell us or -- jen: i think what i can tell you they tasked the teams with having continued discussions. but i am not going to provide you any additional assessment from here. go ahead in the middle. reporter: how does president biden define the [indiscernible] right now. have you scheduled more communications, meetings, calls? jen: they tasked the teams to follow up on today's conversation in this critical period ahead. i don't have anything in terms of when that will take place. that was part of it. go ahead. reporter: the ap reporting 13% of [indiscernible] were discarded following the election laws. has the white house put any new plan to try and get some sort of federal voting rights legislation or executive order? jen: certainly, we'll continue to stay -- we remain committed -- the president and vice presi

jen: iran. the most vital reason, the most important reason why we are focused and have been focused on having these discussions with the iranians and our partners is to prevent iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. that is why we're in these negotiations. we are getting closer. there are still important components to work through. but certainly the discussion of oil is a part of that. but the most important reason is to prevent them from acquiring a nuclear weapon. so i would just note, and i went through all of those purposefully obviously because these are all geopolitical issues that have a range of topics that are a part of the discussion in our engagements. reporter: secondly, house speaker nancy pelosi has suggested that russian oil -- -- russian oil imports should be banned. we are seeing that russia is struggling to sell some of its oil suggesting that it's destabilized. given that thact fact, would president biden sign a ban and what would hold him back from doing so if not? jen: no de

jen: we don't see that happening. we certainly understand -- you know, they have a perm nancy on the security council. of course, that is why it's so particularly disturbing that russia, given the particular responsibility for upholding the u.n. charter, is actively subverting the charter and abusing its position. the fact is they have a permanent -- we don't -- we're really focused on isolating them and holding them accountable. that's what we and our allies are focused on doing. reporter: president zelensky is calling, again, nor a no-fly zone over ukraine. is that something you are giving any thought to at all? jen: again, the reason why that has not been a step the president has been willing to take or we have been interested in taking is because the no-fly zone requires implementation. it would require essentially the u.s. military shooting down russian planes and causing a -- prompting a potential direct war with russia, something the exact step that we want to avoid. reporter: and the president of finland visit

ms.jenkins: -- jen jen how do yn there and what are the details of that? those are conversations that are happening between counterparts, the military level and i would expect an update. michael. reporter: two questions on venges waila. two americans were freed and they are now home. and and re-engage mexico city and his engagement and what is the plan? jen: let me note the return of two american citizens is welcomed news and exciting news and would not have happened without the tireless work over the series of months by a number of our diplomats including our special envoy, roger, who worked on this for months. we are looking to discuss a range of issues including first and foremost americans scran justly held. they are not the only individuals held there. that will be something we will have ongoing discussions about. and ma did youro will resume talks and that is an encouraging sign. reporter: are there concrete plans? and you mentioned i think on monday that energy security was part of the conversation. what can venezuela contribute? jen: i don't have a

jen: sure. i think the president and our national security team and our economic team are working overtime right now to evaluate and examine a range of domestic options that continue to be on the table. and also to engage with global suppliers about what can be done to ensure that the supply in the market meets the demand. thus bringing the price down. so if there's certainly urgency, there's certainly a need to do everything we can to ensure we're mitigating the impact. reporter: a bipartisan group of law makers have called on the white house to lift of ban of summer sales of gasoline. with higher limits of ethanol. it's cheaper than traditional blend of gasoline. is that something -- you mentioned a menu of options, but is that something specifically the white house is considering? jen: in a menu of options. reporter: any comment on maryland moving toward a suspension of their state's gasoline tax? is that something -- jen: there are a number other states who have taken that step. again, there

jen: it's a factor, not the only factor. what we are talking about here is seizing their assets, their yachts, making it harder for them to send their children to colleges and universities in the west. these are significant steps that will impact the people who are closely around president putin. it's not the only step we are taking. obviously the financial sanctions and the steps we have taken have crippled the financial sector so much in russia they kept the stock market closed for a couple days. it's just an effort to get close to the people around president putin. reporter: canada announce add new program to expedite revenue gee arrivals. said there is no limit. is there a conversation in the administration about raising the refugee cap to accommodate ukrainians that would want to come here? jen: turf speck czech and see if the cap would need to be raised. we said we continue to be opened to receiving refugees, of course. that's what our focus is on given the vast majority of them have expressed an interest in going to e

jen will climb mt. logan in canada this spring.ke to follow along, she's at bold, brave, beautiful life on instagram. and she just climbed the second-highest peak in antarctica on new year's day. even getting there is a feat in and of itself. and then of course to see her climbing the mountain, it's just unbelievable. >> it is unbelievable. but imagine the life advice that she's going to give her children as they grow older. when mom says you can do anything that you put your mind to it, oh, you're going to believe it when she has receipts to prove it. >> she's going to be an inspiration to anyone out there looking to push their limits and get outside their comfort zone. so she climbs mt. everest. i'm just trying to ever-rest because i'm always exhausted. >> there it is. there it is. >> i'm tired. >> she says one of the hardest things is the language barrier in each of the places she goes. first of all, they're not used to seeing a woman climber as she is, and you add in the fact that she speaks english. that's a barrier in and of

joe rogan, jen psaki. jen psaki doesn't get the justin trudeau treatment? [booing] peppermint patty deserves some love. jen psaki from the white house podium said, billionaires in silicon valley, please silence that pesky rogan guy. there is a pattern of government asking big tech to silence dissent. in canada, the canadian truckers. the canadian government says, oh, gofundme. billionaires. please silence these pesky truckers. the workers of the world had a revolt and the left is pissed. what is the answer? the answer is threefold. fight power. fight big government. fight big business, fight big tech, fight big hollywood, fight big universities. fight the centralization of power. break it up. break big tech up into a million little pieces. decentralize. we just had wayne up here talking about guns. why is it that when the left seize control they immediately want to take everyone's guns? the state has a monopoly on force. if the only people with guns are the jackbooted thugs, then liberty is gone. we need to decentralize. we need to break it apart. it is one

go ahead. >> thanks, jen. two questions, first about the florida bill that just passed restricting the homosexuality and gender identity, in 1994, when many of us in this room were in school, president biden actually voted for a much broader restriction that bans federal funds from being used for "the promotion of homosexuality as a positive lifestyle alternative." why did he do that and can you describe how the thinking has evolved over the years? >> i think you have seen the president speak passionately about his view that a bill like this, a bill that would discriminate against families, against kids, p ut these kids in position of not getting the support they need at a time where that's exactly what they need is discriminatory, it's a form of bullying, it is horrific. i mean, the president has spoken to that. in terms of his views and comments from 25 years ago, i think the most important question now is why are florida leaders deciding they need to discriminate against kids who are members of the lgbtqi c

that is jen's stilton berg -- jen's stoltenberg -- jens stilton berg -- jens stoltenberg alongside secretaryen. tom: can you imagine the scenarios and outcomes they have been briefed on by their military authorities? jonathan: the gentleman right in the center, the nato secretary-general, his words this morning, it just demonstrates the recklessness of this war and the importance of ending it. how they choose to respond to this today, i've got no idea, but certainly in the fog of war, bad things can happen. that is what people were concerned about overnight as that firefighting was taking place on the side of europe's largest nuclear power plant. tom: we will continue with coverage on this, and of course we got reporters in poland and brussels and other parts of this european continent, and the g7 meetings this morning. it is jobs day. we will give you the coverage of it. there will be important information. but far more than that is the thermometers we have worldwide inequities, bonds, currencies, commodities. priya misra at td securities is expert at looking at full faith in credit and sov

interesting to watch where this is going, and to jen psaki's point back to jacqui's question, when jen psaki and many democrats of this white house like to say, 9,000 untapped oil leases on federal lands in the country that are not being used, ask them why they are not, i have, and the answer is the uncertainty under this administration and they don't want to take on that responsibility not knowing n the rules of the game will change midway knowing that this administration has launched an all-out war on fossil fuels. more on that a short time from now. >> john: less precise and less discriminate, could result in more civilian deaths. this as explosions continue across ukraine. our national security correspondent jennifer griffin live at the pentagon. >> requested additional money for ukraine. a senior official tells us that 90% of russia's invading forces are now inside ukraine. we are told there is no indication the russians have tapped into reinforcements. that 40-mile convoy we have talked about is largely stalled across the north. russians have been trying to make progress on kyiv

just to know that jen psaki it joe biden lied.at a 40 year high for inflation and that is month after month. but it wasn't her only lie of the day. she still wants you to believe that gas prices are only going up because of latimer prudent and greedy oil companies that are not taking advantage of the leases that they have generously given. take a look. >> sean: why did you guys decide to rebrand the rising gas prices as the -- >> if you want to use that on fox, i welcome that. >> president biden -- they believe that they have oil or glass in them? they are saying that that accusation is a complete red herring. to some permits are viable and some are not. you say that, this represents a fundamental misunderstanding into how this process works. >> first of all, nearly 60% remain nonproducing. that is a lot in the range of 20 million acres. so there are 9,000 unused approved permits to drill them. they should not -- that should not require us inviting them to do that. they should do that themselves. to speak of the additional permits

so, jens, what's going on?ortation, because the taxi driver has to go back. it's a long way. they already basically expecting me, they already know who i was, but they cannot make it any faster for me, so they told me i have to find another transportation. and what are your expectations when you cross the border? you'll be taken to a camp or do you know yet? no, i don't know. are you still in the mind that you've made the right decision? yes, lam. he finds a lift for the next leg of his trek, towards a country he's never been to and a fight for people he has no blood links with. with that, he was gone. later that evening, he confirmed he was close to lviv. back at the medyka border crossing, the queues and crowds have markedly increased to when we first arrived a few days previously. it's a place where the ordinary — people waiting for a bus — jars with their reason for having to do so — war. these pictures tell their own story but to be up close and to see it first—hand is just incredibly moving. a generation

let's listen to jen. saki, the white house press. secretary is equal pay day. i'm something we can all celebrate, president biden, and vice president harris of long champions equal pay as a cornerstone of the commitment to ensure all people have a fair and equal opportunity to get ahead to mark equal pay day to day. the biden harris administration announced a couple of new actions to promote women's empowerment and support, women's family women, working families across the country. the office of personnel management announced that they want a spate, issuing a proposed regulation that will address the use of prior salary history. and the hiring and pe, setting process for federal employees. president will sign an executive order directing the federal acquisition regulatory council to consider limiting the use of salary information and employment decisions by federal contractors and the department of labor will release to report analyzing the impact of while it would have the if we miss the ukraine. based off that a statement from the press secretary, the white h

jen, not much sleep to be had last night. we appreciate you being here. >> my pleasure. you know how it goes. >> that's how i run every day. let's start with where the president made the centerpiece of his speech, the war in eastern europe. give us just an update as to where things stand, particularly this russian convoy that is very slowly moving its way towards kyiv. what do we think happens with that, and when more can america do to help? >> well, jonathan, i think what we've seen over the last couple of days is just incredible bravery and courage from ukranian leadership, from the ukranian people in fighting back against the russian military and the ambitions of president putin. but president putin's ambitions have not changed. the russian military has every intention and ambition of taking kyiv and continuing to take control over ukraine. that is why over the last couple of days you've seen the president not only amp up humanitarian assistance but also increase security assistance. he approved a major package over the weekend and we're expediting delivery of that. i

what jen psaki was trying to say, biden understands putin.she was saying issue putin understands biden. career pol tigszs are easy to read, they are more concerned with politics than the actual people affected by what they are doing. he saw biden do this in afghanistan, tried to tell us it was a success, instead of own it. and saw biden do this in ukraine. sanctions, sanctions, sanctions and when putin invaded, he said, i never said sanctions would work. how could putin not be laughing at him. >> carley: i wonder what you think about the conversation surrounding putin's mental health. high-profile people like condoleeza rice say they think something is different about him. he has always been menia cal kgb thug and found window of opportunity to act out now. >> jimmy: who are we to accuse another country's president to be out to lunch. like bob marley saying somebody smokes too much weed. >> carley: no president should be compared to putin, you are not saying that, are you? >> jimmy: no, i'm saying we're calling putin mentally unstable when we

jen psaki will be making remarks from the white house in just a few minutes.at the state department. and a woman will be joining us from a kyiv hospital where she is helping people on the ground and the united states' next steps to aid the ukrainians and to hold vladimir putin accountable. >>> some of the main stream media are wholeheartedly embrais embracing the -- that have strapped u.s. oil production and more. no, none of that, liberal journalists are going with president biden's narrative that it's all due to the russian dictator's invasion of ukraine. >> you may have noticed this week that your gas prices have gone up. i want to talk to you a little bit about why. a lot of it has to do with vladimir putin. >> you use that phrase, these are putin's price hikes. he's not bringing war here, right? that's another way to message it. >> and putin's price hike is a great way to message it. >> they're all blaming biden for rising gas prices. meanwhile, guess who gets off scot-free? not just putin, but the big oil and gas companies. >> when pundits are trying to

and here's white house press secretary jen psaki during thursday briefing, watch. >> we don't have aterest in reducing the global supply of energy. that would raise prices at the gas pump for the american people around the world because it would reduce the supply available. as simple as less supply raises prices. >> trace: joining us now tyron skinner who was also a research fellow at the hoover institute as well as a visiting fellow at the heritage foundation. great to seal. i do the math and i listen to jen psaki and she's very fond of saying, look, we only get five or 10% of oil from russia, that's a lot of oil and a lot of money put into vladimir putin's pockets. now, you know, you've got bipartisan calls to say turn off the oil from russia now. >> i hope jen psaki and the white house listen to the bipartisan calls. when you've got nancy pelosi sounding like many of the republican leaders who have been talking about sanctioning russia, withdrawing our use of oil imports, it's really a new day. the white house needs to begin to catch up to where the american public is going, to wh

look at what happened with joe rogan and jen psaki. she doesn't get the justin trudeau treatment? come on. peppermint patty deserve some love. jen psaki from the white house podium said bill in the air is in silicon valley, please silence that pesky rogan guy. there is a pattern of government asking big tech to silence dissent. in canada, the canadian truckers the canadian government says go find me. billionaires please silence these pesky truckers. by t the way, the workers of tho world had a revolt and the left is test. [laughter] so what is the answer? it is threefold fight big power fight being checks fight big hollywood fight big universities. fight the centralization of power. break it up. break big tech us into 1 million little pieces. these centralized. why is it the left when they say it's control the immediately want to take away everyone's guns? because then the state has a monopoly on force. the only people with guns are the thugs then liberty is gone. so we need to decentralize and break it apart that's why i am so bullish on cryptoand that claim. because it is decent

jen psaki was asked how the u.s. would respond to a potential chemical weapons attack in ukraine, three reporters asked her about, we have not let anything go unanswered to date. should we be offering a more firm answer on that as a country? >> number one, she needs to quit lying. she needs to quit lying to the american people, the reason we don't have more oil and gas here at home is because of the oil companies. she needs to quit being wrong about the pipeline. if it didn't make a difference, why would people spend billions of dollars to build it, and when it comes to the war itself, the people in charge of telling you how we should handle ukraine are also in charge of the border and when the very ones that pulled out of afghanistan, so i think -- i think the incompetence of this administration scares me. from incompetent to dishonorable and that bothers me greatly. >> john: i want to ask you about putin's psychology, you've been to russia many times, and putin one-on-one, he's going to go down along in history, he

preparing and we have some more of that reporting later in the program, but one of the things that jen saki told me and has been well understood here in the news cycle is this is what presidenting involves, there will be foreign crisis, you have to balance with domestic plans, for more in mind on context i want to show just briefly an echo of this we heard in a long ago state of the union by clinton. take a look. >> with nato allies, pressing the serbian allies to stop with the brutal oppression in kosovo. >> what do you say from the signals thus far from the white house and what are you watching for tonight, michael? >> i think to evelyn's point, the president has a chance to really burn this into the psyche of the american people. i think in many respects, americans have not been as focused as they may have otherwise been. poles reflect that. their concerned about pocket book issues and president has to walk this very interesting but important tight rope where he brings in to focus the importance of what's happening globally, and how that's feeding into and in fact impacting those ki

joe biden, jen psaki, jen granholm , this is all part of the hoax of a climate agenda. they want to raise gas prices because they want people to buy evs, pete buttigieg said. that's their goal. they don't care about the pain at the pocketbook or the pump, they're about advancing the climate agenda and not going to let the crisis go to waste. >> to your point about the electric vehicles, daily caller has this headline. pete buttigieg said electric cars will help save money. the average price of an ev was $56,437 in november of last year in kelly bluebook. for a lot of peoplish that's not an affordable option. >> no, it's not. and that's a lot more expensive than the average cost of a conventionally powered gasoline car. and -- and, you know, the evs take longer to charge, they're a lot more inconvenient. there's a reason they're a small percentage of vehicles sold. they don't cost less, they cost more. it's not clear that you ever recoup your funds. and, you know, in any case, people should have the choice to drive what they want. but they're using the crisis to push the

>> i don't know that i can improve upon my answer to jen. we are having in directions on occasion with ukrainian troops that momentarily and temporarily have to come into poland for the purpose of trends shipment of the security systems and there's a liaison going there. do you it's not classic in that sense that you and i think about it. these liaisons are happening and they are happening at a frequent level. i know why the questions coming up. he we did have a training mission in ukraine that we had to suspend. we had the florida national guard troops not far from where we were doing training and we would love nothing better than to get back to that. clearly that's not an option right now. you didn't ask this. i'm going to take the opportunity anyway. as we talk about security assistance and we are doing a lot in moving a lot faster and i understand the focus in the interest in the items being used. i totally get that. i just hope we don't forget that it's not just the stuff that matters. it's their ability to use this stuff and that didn'

jen? >> reporter: hi, arthel. not clear how much impact these polish migs will have if they are delivered, but there was a noticeable shift in tone here in washington after president zelenskyy appealed correctly to u.s. lawmakers on that conference call saturday. the nsc and state department are, as you mentioned, actively discussing how to help poland provide ukraine with the mission and sukhoi war planes that ukraine's pilots already know how to fly. >> when it comes to planes, we are being assured that talks are underway and the solution is close. the problem is that we have no time for talks and solutions. we need them now. >> reporter: originally poland wanted the u.s. to provide it with replacement f-6s, but it takes time to retrofit those for foreign sales. what's being discussed is tearily honing -- temporarily loaning some f-16s. poland is asking for 40,000 nato troops. former president petro poroshenko. >> definitely, we need the military jets to cover the nuclear power station because nuclear contaminat

and you've heard from jen psaki and others the u.s.ommitment that troops will not be engaged in any way, shape or form, and heard from the white house the no fly zone is out of the question from the u.s. and nato. but, i can tell you that this speech is going to, from senior officials, gs start with ukraine, but obviously deal with, like the state of the union address does, all the issues that the u.s. is facing, namely the economy, covid, immigration and other issues as well. the president was good spirits, obviously somber with the world situation the u.s. is facing as a part of this unified front but his message about ukraine was to stand with unity with allies across the world. >> john: bret, another bulletin here, apparently vladimir putin is banning the export of foreign currency from russia in amounts above $10,000. so, clearly he's concerned that some people are going to try to take the money, not necessarily run, but put it outside of russia where they can keep it safe. in terms of where the president is right now as we head i

with the german, the leaders of germany, france, the united kingdom and italy, his press secretary jen, jen, saki, the underscored, their continued support for ukraine, including by providing security assistance to the brave ukrainians who are defending their country from russian aggression and humanitarian assistance to the millions of ukrainians who fled. let's bring in our correspondent carlindo troy in washington. sharlena. what more can you tell us about that phone call? well we know that the call lasted about an hour and the leaders discussed their concerns about where shes bureau war ukraine. they stressed their support for ukraine and an increase and humanitarian aid, as well as security assistance and be efforts to reach a ceasefire. are also ongoing. m a and there were also, there was also a main issue during that call this morning and press secretary, jackie is ted today that the white house is considering to do this call on a regular basis at the same leader. as you mentioned on a regular basis once a week, and so biden has had this call, but then he's still going over to e

following its invasion, white house press secretary jen, saki said the chinese side was warned, there will be consequences if it provides assistance to moscow. what we had conveyed in what was conveyed by our national security advisor in this meeting is that should they provide military or other assistance that of course violate sanctions or, or support the war effort that there will be significant consequences. but in terms of what the specifics look like, we would coordinate with our partners and allies to make that determination. jen, saki, there will. earlier i asked d. w correspondence, tiff on simon's how the war in ukraine was affecting us china relations in general . while the chinese us relationship was somewhat on the rocks before the invasion, but it didn't make it better to the contrary. but as long as china is really doing what they're doing now, by being absent of any vote in the un security council, they will not vote with the other. are you as a courtesy council members in demanding russia to stop the war or charging russia with, with aggression against ukraine? they a

. >> jen psaki said on friday that the u.s. was looking into whether russia is intentionally target civilians. is dod providing information to this review that is ongoing? are you looking for actual evidence that the russians are targeting civilians for potential criminal court? is -- can dod say whether they are our sixteens in the inventory that are not dedicated or supposed to go to some other country that could be sent to poland in a quick way? jen psaki was talking about the logistics hurdle and who could take years to transfer weapons and aircraft to another country. i am sure at this point, it has been several days, there has to be some knowledge if there are even to provide to poland. >> we are still working our way through that. it is too soon to know with great specificity what a potential backfill will look like. we are not there, even with in our own agency, much less like a nation like poland. it would depend on how many they would need, how long they would need them. then, you would have to look at where the inven

[video clip] >> how much aid did they need, what kinds and how urgently? the answer is they need everything and yesterday. if they can shoot it, we should ship it. ukrainians are fighting for freedom and we should do more to help. javelins, stingers, lethal drones like switch blade surface-to-air missiles, coastal missiles, machine guns, ammunition, grenade launchers, nightvision goggles and, yes, planes, more and more of it faster. i applaud the president for some of what he has done but i would note there are important weapons that are not yet in ukrainian hands, like the s-300 and it takes time to cross the border and we should be sending this as fast as possible, not having the administration's lawyers debate how many angels can dance on the tip of a sam or what weapons are offensive or defensive. every weapon we give them right now is defensive and these distinctio

>> you have been listening to jen psaki, we'll bring you any other news as we get it. you also just a minute ago heard parts of lester holt's interview with the ukrainian president. more of that tonight on "nbc nightly news." >>> we want to get to another developing story, come back to what's happening in ukraine, but you at home, you, me, may be about to pay more for everything. in the last hour you had the federal reserve are for the first time since 2018 raising interest rates up a quarter of a percent, part of a push to knock down inflation which is up nearly 8%. not a shock move. one the fed has been signaling. stephanie ruhle, business analyst and host of the 11th hour on msnbc is up early for us joining us now. we're joined by cnbc's senior analyst ron ensana. glad to have both of you. steph, start with you breaking this down, the bottom line, what are we going to see a difference in and what won't we? >> it's going to cost more money to borrow money. you said it a moment ago. new mortgages or car loans, anything you're looking to borrow on your credit cards is

jennings now, south carolina senator lindsey graham with us., you are still under fire because you said you hold people around putin -- and i said the same thing -- that they have a conscience and a soul and they are witnessing the murdering of men, women, and children, do the right thing by whatever means necessary. more and more, everybody i meet is telling me that you are right, i am right, mark levin is going to be in on a minute, he is right. >> right. i will tell you where i am not under fire, that south carolina. i've spent the weekend at home. let's say this. the only thing of got going for me is, 90% of south carolinians believe that putin is a war criminal, the biggest war criminal of the 21st century. i want to be crystal clear about this. when you record the history of these times, i think putin should have been gone a long time ago. if he gets away with this, he survives, china will invade taiwan, raking out the nuclear weapon, and the rule of law means nothing. so, yes, i want the russian people to take this man out. i don't care

it wasn't the wind that will call valley resident jen brown from her slumber early saturday morning. i confronted him right here smashed on the lights and said what are you doing? who are you? why are you in my house? this broken door shows where a man broke into her condo and went on a rampage runs down the hall. smashes this chair against the mirror what the man was clad in made the already terrifying incident feel like a horror movie. i saw he was wearing hospital patient clothing and a night shirt from a hospital and a medical band on his wrist and blood on his face despite trying to deescalate the situation asking the man to sit down and then he went maniac and he started spinning around the room looking for something the man then dramatic exit the next thing he did was hurl this radiator through my bedroom window. and jumped out a neighbor neighh him jump out rear and first it was more of shock. you're more like shocked to be seeing this. it was pretty pretty surprising as soon as the suspect hurled himself out of that third story window a number of neighbors descended here try

what do you think of what jen psaki posted about why? >> i think it is absolutely right. if there wasn't already the anticipation of some kind of disruption in energy supply, i think we have been seeing the prices go up this year. the market doesn't respond only to what we know for sure, there is a psychological effect here. what might happen to the reserves? will there be a future in the near term, the lack of energy supplies? maybe we need to stock up. the fact that president putin has been creating a tremendous volatility on the six early-stage globally, but also on the economic stage is absolutely true. president putin in many ways has taken the world security question and economy hostage through this act of taking ukraine, and the reason to try to get off of russian fuel right now is to say you are not taking us hostage with you. we do not want you to have leverage that power. you are too much influence on the global stage right now because you want to reestablish an empire. we want nothing to do with that. that is a way of insulating the american people from an unpr

jen psaki, white house press secretary in the hot seat yet again.y, you have been in this place many, many times for something big in the world is happening, not this particular situation, but as i mentioned president trump saul all sorts of things with bad acting russia and syria. he never took anything off the table. no doubt that jen psaki is going to be asked about those make 29 spirit she is in the military so it will be interesting to see if she touts the same talking points as vice president, harris. >> harris can we make a key point. if on the press secretary i would've been paying attention to a political article that just came out on the makes come as you noted. it takes is inside the decision of the biden administration. when lance has skeptics inside the biden administration push back on the idea of green letting the transfer of poland rig 29 fighters to ukrainian president joe biden sided with those skeptics. so we have that sound bite that we played were is that i am green letting it. president biden decides to fight with them. >> here

jen, do you got that? anyway, now the oil industry is begging for more access to drilling and exploration and as the petroleum institute put it, "it's time for the administration to support domestic production, send a message that america is open for energy investment. why not just be open and honest and say we made a mistake, we should never have put these restrictions on the energy sector? that's not within them, i guess. so jen psaki is more interested in auditioning for a new job at fake news cnn or msdnc than actually serve you, the american people, that are paying the highest price in history for a gallon of gasoline. according to the climate alarmist cult that is the new democrat a party america's biggest threat is not record high gas prices or 40 year inflation high. no, or war in europe or dependence on foreign oil, it's all about climate change. they want us to now transition away from oil and gas as soon as possible. okay, so if you're struggling to fill up your tank, if you're struggling to hea
