here? the answer is we got to pull back our manufacturing to the united states instead of going hat in hand to despotic regimes either for oil, palladium, uranium, all the things that we need on a daily basis. we can t be the hold into these we can t even be the hold into ukraine because then they get invaded. a good point is america is not week. this administration is weak but america has the energy, it has the innovation, and if we let america run like america can with innovation, with thinking out of the box, we can solve these problems quick. but this administration at every decision point is making a bad one. they will lead us into dependency and dependency on chips and technology. laura: that s all going to come back. gentlemen, thank you both, great tonight as always. tonight we have graphic new video of a mortar attack in a small suburb outside of kyiv and in moments you re going to see a ukrainian fighter in the
political negotiations. laura: good to see you tonight, thank you. putin ukraine has oil now nearing $130 a barrel, they could hit $200 a in a month. the biting solution is more oil production, just not here in the u.s. we previously learned they were looking at boosting oil output in saudi arabia and iran, so world sponsored terrorism. today the bite in the administration considering for some time easing tough oil sanctions on. venezuela. joining me now is former trump interior secretary, former seal team six commander and alaska senator dan sullivan who sits on the congress armed services committee. secretary, good to see her tonight. i guess it s fitting the democrats could turn to socialist totalitarian venezuela for oil. it is quite something. the first two years of the trump administration we went from 8.3 million barrels a day and declining in just two years to

aggravation i can take for one hour. never thought america would, in the middle of a war like this, be importing oil from russia and begging venezuela and iran and opec when we have more than we can produce here at home. it s insanity. anyway, our thoughts and prayers are with the ukraine people. let not your heart be troubled, laura is next. see you tomorrow night. use of the musical [siren] laura: i m laura ingraham, this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight as the war in ukraine intensifies, so too does the suffering here in america. so energy prices skyrocketing, experts warning that prices at the grocery store have you seen this are only going to keep going up and up. wheat has hit an all-time high. that was shocking. and with russia s role as a major supplier of fertilizer,
