>> well, stephanie, it's this revisionist history. but will we see in the text messages is that even trump's most stalwart allies on capitol hill and elsewhere in the republican firm we're seeing what's going on with their own eyes. we also as americans that they, which is violent rioters storming the capitol and hurting people and trying to lay siege to our democracy. and they were alarmed, and they want to urgently for the president to call his supporters to stand down. and what we know is, it took president trump 187 minutes from when he spoke at the rally and told the supporters to go march on the capitol, until he finally reluctantly agreed to step into the rose garden at 4:17 that afternoon and deliver his video statement telling her supporters to go home. that was an excruciating period for all of those who cared about the trump legacy. who had worked and sacrificed their own character, reputations, and the service of this president to see him be silent for so long. and i think that's why you saw the urgency, the all caps messa

good evening once again, i'm stephanie ruhle. tonight, the pentagon is warning there may soon be a major escalation in russia's war in ukraine. moscow still bombarding cities and towns as we enter day 48 of the conflict. there are new sides. russia preparing for a significant assault in eastern ukraine donbas region, after failing to capture its capital of kyiv. the latest satellite images show an eight-mile long russian military convoy that is now on the move. >> we believe these are the early stages of a reinforcement effort. they are trying to organize themselves better for a now more geographically can find and more specific set of target objectives, now in the donbas specifically and the south. >> and ukraine's president says russia, now amassing tens of thousands of troops for its next offensive. putin is also reportedly tapping a new ground commander to lead his forces in ukraine, a general who oversaw troops in syria and who has a history of using ruthless cruel tactics well targeting civilians. some have referred to him

stephanie: i mean -- elizabeth: i mean, he said that.e said twitter should follow the letter of the law and free speech in the u.s., which we all know is the first amendment, which basically allows huge latitude for free speech, short of direct calls for violence. he has said that, and i just got off listening in on a townlwi hr hin twitter, employees, talking about it right now at twitter. and what the employees themselves are extremely worried that he is going to strip the company of the safeguards and protections against misinformation and hate speech that the company has worked to build over the last five or so years. people working there are really worried about that, and some are tweeting crying emojis right now. stephanie: he is not only going to have to be accountable to his employees, now that he is the owner of twitter. won't he also have to go through the same tight wire act of not losing users and advertisers? isn't that, to some degree, accountability? elizabeth: i think so. one of the questions asked at the town hall, is it

let me turn to you, stephanie. this is _ have gone. let me turn to you, stephanie. also taking place amongst young people, as we have seen, talking last night, 8.5% was the rate of inflation in the us. it's a conversation that's happening in households across our country for a number of reasons. this latest generation is really asking the question, is this education really worth it? am i getting a return on my investment? they have seen their parents be dragged down with the weights of student loan debt. the parents of this generation have been impacted by student loan debt more than any other generation, so they are asking those questions. lots of private institutions, people are taking a pass at them and looking at more local schools, more inexpensive schools because they don't want their future to be compromised by their future to be compromised by the weight of student loans. it’s their future to be compromised by the weight of student loans. it's an interestin: the weight of student loans. it's an interesting one. _ the weight of student loans. it's an interest

stephanie. good afternoon. today a u.s.ense official confirmed that ukrainian missiles hit and sunk an important russian warship and now russia is threatening both ukraine and the u.s.. in a not so friendly letter. russia told the u.s. state department to stop sending weapons to ukraine, warning of, quote, unpredictable consequences if it continues. that's according to the washington post and a state department spokesman tells us they won't confirm any private communication with russia, but says, quote, we are providing ukraine with billions of dollars worth of security assistance, which are ukrainian partners are using to extraordinary effect to defend their country. right now the u.s. is sending an 800 million dollar package of military equipment to ukraine, including helicopters, artillery, an ammo. >> every single day, there are. security assistance, weapons and material and support equipment that is getting into ukrainian hands. meanwhile, the conflict on the ground is intensifying. ukraine says it sunk a major russian

back with me now, my all-star panel, hayes brown, jonathan altar, stephanie miller.egin with you. it's doubtful trump would ever agree to testify to the january 6th committee. but do you think the committee should still ask him, even if it's just to send a message to the american public about it? >> yeah, i think they definitely should ask him. while i know that it feels improbable that they will go so far as to issue a subpoena to trump to actually try and put the force of the law behind this effort, i do think that should president trump prove uncooperative, i feel like they should at least try. i feel like this is something that is important enough that we do want to take this to court and you do want to go through the motions of this. i know this is one of trump's favorite delaying tactics, to go to court, to file appeal after appeal after appeal, to try and make the case that, you know, he has full immunity, full executive immunity, which is completely false. but i feel like this is still one of those times where even if the actual subpoena were to fail in getti

influential market watchers are saying, is that the right call we debate that, joining me today, stephanie, john and jerry, 12:00 noon in the east. let's check where we stand in the marks. it's an up day, less than feared there is the dow good for 226. getting a little relief there. the yields drop down to 270. that's the ten year note yield you're looking at. tom lee has been out, and he is like i think inflation is peeking and he has been able to remain as bullish or more bullish than most and now none over than jeffrey gunlock. we're near peak inflation. he admits it will be sticky on wages and rends, but he thinks that inflation it peaking. what do you make of all of that? >> it could be, and i hope it is it doesn't change my thinking at all. sure the headline number today wasn't as bad as feared, but let's go underneath the surface and look at some components. i know we're supposed to look at core, food, and energy, but it is huge. food was up 9% and energy is up 11%. by the way wti up another $5 today. soy beans are up quite a bit, corn at a record high. sure maybe, maybe that commod
