>> between 2009 and 2015. >> that is a level access that senior government officials don't even have. [shouting] >> ross chase stain. ross is the boss in talladega you 6:18 in overnight depot had reportedly been struck by ukrainian missiles. >> brian: strike follows meetings between secretary of state blinken and zelenskyy in kyiv yesterday. >> ainsley: matt finn has the latest from lviv, good morning, matt. >> good morning. and here in ukraine there are a lot of reported missile strikes and attacks on the western and central part of this country, including right here in the lviv region. we have heard the air raid sirens going off all morning. ukraine's national railway is now saying that five train stations came under fire this morning with unconfirmed reports of casualties. and this is all happening as the u.s. secretary of state and defense just used trains to visit ukraine. and a short while ago the lviv governor said missile attack train station outside of lviv to the east. that state governor staying within the past 24 hours here in lviv the air defense shot down a russian missile that he says came from a plane and also a threat of a russian missile coming from the caspian sea in russia authorities confirm massive fire at oil storage can city in the city of bree osceola, not far from the canadian border russia accused ukraine of bombing several buildings in that area. all comes after secretary we don't know how the rest of the war will unfold we do know that a sovereign independent ukraine will be around a lot longer than vladimir putin is on the scene. our support for ukraine going forward will continue. it will continue until we see final success. >> and a short while ago, ukrainian president zelenskyy posted the social media u.s. delegation of high officials to kyiv as quote very valuable and important. and is he grateful to the united states of america for, quote: unprecedented help. and the secretary of state says american diplomats will begin returning here to ukraine next week and our u.s. embassy in kyiv will eventually reopen back to you guys. >> steve: matt, in listening to what you just said about how the russians apparently have targeted the five train stations, is it just a coincidence that austin and blinken traveled on them yesterday because they haven't really struck at the rail infrastructure in the last month or so. >> well, the time something obviously suspect. and it was actually just last monday here in lviv that there was a missile strike here. one of the missiles that we reported on landed just feet away from a railway and also a railway switch. and our crew and a lot of people here were wondering if they were in fact targeting that railway. certainly questionable, steve. >> ainsley: matt, what do you know about the fires burning in russia 2:00 a.m. ukrainian missiles hit that oil depot. 15 minutes later they hit a military facility. so they are using these missiles are these missiles coming from the u.s. or one of the 30 countries engaged in the fight? >> i do not know. there is a lot of video online. a lot of it taking it in trying to confirm. explosive was massive it lit up the night sky. looked like obviously a very deliberate strike? russia. >> brian: all right. matt, thank you so much. appreciate it some of the statements that have come out secretary of defense austin wants to see a weakened russia do things invading ukraine. that's interesting subplot. we have seen russia walls much more diminished we ever thought. army much weaker and disorganized than we could ever imagine our intelligence was able to success. they are running out of people and now with longer supply lines for the ukrainians most admit a challenge. even if the russians want to do what they want to do and anthony that's encircle the donbas region that's also 100 miles of supplies. they have not shown the ability to do it. they also are showing an ability to kill civilians, arming, going after that apartment building in odesa, killing another infant. i think it's also interesting they're going out of their way according to the british defense ministry to have a mini, i guess, crimea like acquisition of kherson as you see in that map. even though they have occupied that city and claimed that city, they have been anything but settled. they have constant insurgency. everything is being attacked. they are going to have a ceremony essentially saying you are now part of russia today in kherson. their goal is to say kherson, mykolaiv and odesa. no sign they are able to do it. >> steve: talk more about the lead story and that is the ukrainians have struck the russians at two different oil-or at an oil facility and a military facility. fox news contributor, retired u.s. retired bomb tech joey jones, you saw him on the channel a few minutes ago. what do you make of the facts that now we have seen this once before, now now apparently ukraine is targeting russia, they are targeting the oil depot that russia is using to fuel their tanks in the donbas region. but, at the same time, that facility is one of the main pipelines of oil from russia to europe. so that's one way to cuts off their supply. >> joey: quite a strategic strike there. i was hosting the big saturday show when i was asked griff jenkins who is in ukraine when john kirby stands at the pentagon and says we are be very specific on the time of weapons we are sending based on the situation, the question i have and i haven't heard answered is that because ukraine military is trying to defend places like their capital, trying to defend russian advancement or is that not now because they are going to be the attach and take back the donbas? we haven't had the answer. i understand there may be a reason why they don't want to broadcast they being ukraine or the pentagon. that's reading the tea leaves here with looking at here. ukraine military in a place of strength where they can attack back or simply trying to hold what they have been age to hold and support that defensive position? maybe both things are happening. those are the questions to be asked. if russia is trying to, you know, keep a win of winning the donbas and strengthening their hold along the coast, is ukraine in a position to fight to take it back. >> ainsley: joey, interesting to watch this fight. it was supposed to last two days. they have failed in kyiv, the russian forces. now they are moving to the con bass region. how significant is this? does this mean putin has said i can't now take the areas of ukraine i wanted to the west? i'm going to focus now just on the donbas and call it a day? >> certainly seems that way. certainly seems like the russian shifted but leadership for the russian military has changed which may be a reason for the change in overall direction and strategy. you know, one thing i will say a is that supposed to last two days now it's lasting months. that might be good news for the ukrainian military. it's bad news for the ukrainian people. the long they're lasts the more atrocity they are seeing and exposed and our prayers are with those people who may not be fighting a war but simply trying to live through it. >> brian: there are intelligence reports say that putin, that we believe that putin thinks he is winning. and that means that he is going to double and triple down. >> what channel is he watching? >> brian: hard to believe he considers kyiv a win. but they also worry if he is not able to have success in the donbas area, that is the greatest chance of tactical nukes. you can't live your life in fear of them losing but that's what the intelligence community worries about. >> there has been a little bit of me the tail wagging the dog. the biden administration's response to this. i keep saying and not going to stop saying the critique is i'm providing nine months ago a year ago. as we look at china we need to have that vision. i worry that the biden administration get completely caught off guard here or did they just not think it was a game worth playing. a war they could win if they helped ukraine too much early on. what i will say if putin thinks he is winning, if that's true, that means this was a part of the strategy perhaps from the beginning and that concerns me because they certainly have the 8 years experience in the donbas as far as providing support for troops there fighting compared to, you know, what was happening on the more western part of the country they are on. >> brian: that was according to david sanger the "new york times" talking to people. >> steve: one of the incorporate things lloyd austin our 70s secretary said when he was over there yesterday. and they announced another boott load of stuff for the ukrainians. they wanted to make sure that the material that the united states is falling does not fall into enemy hands which, when you think about that that almost suggests rather than giving them them third generation stuff. they might be getting some of the first generation stuff that we are currently, we are deploying around the world. our secret stuff. and we don't want the ruchings to get a copy of it and reverse engineering it. >> no we certainly hope our own military understands that first generation brand new stuff probably getting better stuff our marine corps has. i will tell you that as a marine. there have been reports of russians in donbas with our weapons in hand. that's question that needs to be asked. no matter what we send, can it get to the place it needs to be and the hands it needs to be in there is not enough information on that. >> brian: not enough on poland to say bring it into the country. >> doing it this late in the game to begin with. >> brian: especially after we left all that hardware in afghanistan. >> ainsley: i think it's interesting too we are giving $165 million of non-american made sits in their weapons because they have different wednesday than we have. joey, thank you so much. great job on "fox & friends first" with carley. >> joey: thank you so much. >> ainsley: new york city mayor cracking down on crime. even those arrested by new anti-gun units being released just hours after they're arrested. the revolver door of justice taking a bite out of the big apple. >> brian: great time to live in new york. ross chastain takes the checkered flag. has interesting. wouldn't you agree?

"new york post" to come a look at the crime situation here in new york city in particular since eric adams once upon a time a police officer now is the mayor how effective is the anti-gun unit in taking guns off the street? well, they have -- the "new york post" got court records for 12 of 25 arrests since march. all right. so, the city is only letting the "new york post" see half of those of the 12 only one person still locked up. other 11 back on the street. part so galling four people caught with guns went free immediately, no bail. there is the door come back some time soon don't do anything wrong. >> ainsley: lack judges bail reform. 24-year-old guy had a pistol inside the lower pant leg. he was let out on sprferl release charges were not. de blasio appointee. 19-year-old drink out of a tequila bottle. he 9-millimeter pistol. another guy. both charged with a felony. which means bail -- they could be held behind bars. >> steve: serious stuff. >> ainsley: the judge de blasio appointee decided to release. >> steve: no bail. >> brian: if you look what's inside the city most everybody watching has been to new york city at some point. you know this. if you look at the villages like greenwich village grand larcenies have doubled. vehicle thefts are sky high. felony assaults ticked up as well. and residents and businesses and you have these individual stories saying people coming in and shoplifting and taking stuff blatantly and when we call the cops they don't prosecute them they grab the stuff back. that's how crazy it is. shows you how solvable this problem is start enforcing crimes like shoplifting maybe the delis stay open who have just been tortured through the pandemic and some terrible city leadership. >> ainsley: west village is probably the highest real estate. so expensive to live down there. that's where all the celebrities live. really cool area. crime is up 84%. the east village crime is up 54%. that's where all the young kids go. that's where all the bars are talk to 20-year-olds they live down there and go out all the bars down there. their lives are at risk. >> brian: we don't condone that lifestyle. >> ainsley: used to be fun back in the day. >> steve: described that the crime in east and west villages. they said they are cesspools of rampant property thieves. you have senile the video. you have seen what happens in new york and around the country. so, last night, eric adams, the enough mayor sat down with anderson cooper on "60 minutes." obviously the mayor is going to make it sound as if he has come to new york city just in time to save the city. we just gave you the facts. we are still here in trouble here in new york city. the big apple. but, just listen to this. it sounds like he is painting a very rosy picture, it's not so rose. >> we move 1800 guns off the streets of our cities since i have been elected. 1800. so we're putting in place the foundation of dealing with the immediate needs of violence but we also stopping the pipeline that causes children to get involved in violence. democrats don't like talking about intervention. but discomfort of the immediate things we must do. you can't say black lives matter when the police officer shoots a young person but does that black lives matter matter when a 12-year-old baby was shot? >> brian: i just was -- will have to watch again to make sure. i didn't have the follow up when the most obvious question yet out of eric adams control that is once you make the arrest, actually prosecuting the crimes and putting people in jail and i think he would have welcomed that conversation because he went up to albany personally lobbied for a change. minor change for the most part these judges put in place by de blasio have no interest this cracking down on criminals unless they absolutely have to or so everywhere publicity they have no choice. 60% approval rating in the city and even though the numbers are bad. do you know what people appreciate? that he is actually hustling. you see him everywhere. you see him trying to do stuff. we had another mayor who had no interest except for running down the city. he had a hard time running down the city. got reelected once all his idiotic policies got in place and pulled back on the cops and got rid of all these anticrime units, this place went nuts and he was left a mess. >> ainsley: i am sure he feels like is he spinning rules he can't because of bail reform. that's up to the legislature. they need to change the law so that if you are found with a weapon. if you are charged with a felony. you stay behind bars these judges are so lax. >> steve: the way that soundbite started we took 1800 guns off the street that's great. as we start wanted the segment out we showed you they took the guns off the street and brought the people into the cop shops but let them out immediately. >> ainsley: guns are not on the streets they are saying but the people who had the guns are back on the street. >> steve: remember, jewels a week ago where there was that mass shooting in a subway in new york city. so, and anderson cooper did ask him about that. but is he saying no. people shouldn't worry because people came back the next day. people went back into the subways because that was the only way they could get to work. people don't take the subways because they want. to say they have got to. >> ainsley: it's $2.75. you can take an hour long drive into the city and that's the price you are going to pay. you can't afford a $50, $60 uber to get to work every day. >> brian: you mention greenwich village city that cost the most. the other place is beverly hills obviously in southern california. i believe satisfiedly they're being hit by crime. they are being followed home and having their homes ransacked. and that's when things change is when the called rich people who seem impervious to crimes start becoming victims. alex villanueva lone voice on the west coast talking about how these policies are making his job impossible. not only to enforce crime but even to hire police officers. he sees light at the end of the tub. >> i think 2022 is going to be a special year i think it's going to be a referendum on a national disease that's going to finally see a cure coming along. wokeism is on the ropes. let's put it out of its misery in 22.

>> brian: wow. and i know we are just scratching the surface on everything you know. jennifer, check in with you again. thanks so much. all right. let's go over to ainsley. >> ainsley: thank you, brian. today president biden is set to meet with the congressional hemmer caucus as house republicans, including our next guest is going to include the southern pass in eagle pass, texas it is the same area where that 22-year-old national guard specialist, bishop evans remains missing after risking his life jump into the rio grand to save illegal immigrants who we now know were drug smuggling suspects. mississippi g.o.p. congressman michael guess serves as vice ranking member on the house homeland security committee and he joins us now. good morning to you, congressman. >> good morning. thank you for having me on today. >> ainsley: thank you so much for coming on and going down to the border so you can report to us. second time for you going down to the border this year alone. why are you going?

any chance that title 42 will be extended? >> i think the cralings needs to take a serious look at that the administration needs to have something in place when title 42 expires. i was in el paso just last week in the el paso sector. the agents there told us that 65% so two out of every three immigrants they encounter expelled out of the country under title 42 if it is allow ited to expire without something to he radio place it and if all immigrants are required to be processed under title 8, we can very well lose situational control along certain parts of the border. the flood of immigrants is expected to come and the amount of time it would take to process those immigrants we are not prepared to deal with that title >> ainsley: what does title 8 mean. >> a way to apply for asylum. >> morgan: in-depth process. come from somewhere central america, south america can often be processed in roughly 45 minutes. when people are being processed under title 8. that takes days just to do the processing alone. so when you have a surgeon of immigrants, when you have last month 221,000, dhs said be prepared for as many as 18,000 a day. 18,000 a day over 30 days would equate to over half a million immigrants a month. we are not prepared to deal with the potential surge that we're expected to see once title 42 expires. >> and border patrol are so overwhelmed already. the numbers more than double after may 23rd. congressman, thank you for going down there today. let us know what happens. >> thank y'all have great day. piers morgan uncensored. brand new show begins today and is he going to join with us a sneak peek (vo) with armor all, a little bit of this... protects you from a lot... of that. armor all. minimum effort. maximum protection. out here, you're a landowner, a gardener, a landscaper and a hunter. that's why you need versatile, durable kubota equipment. if you have this... consider adding this. an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan from unitedhealthcare. medicare supplement plans help by paying some of what medicare doesn't... and let you see any doctor. any specialist. anywhere in the u.s. who accepts medicare patients. so if you have this... consider adding this. call unitedhealthcare today for your free decision guide. ♪ there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by a healthcare provider every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions, post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. ♪ >> brian: america's crime crisis not just coffin it and i to major cities. look at this. rochester new york smashing previous homicide record now facing a higher murder rate for 100,000 people that chicago new york and compton, california. the next guest says the plan to defund police left him and his community mind looking to change that laron singletary running for congress to represent the city he policed for 20 years. chief, thank you so much for joining us, what prompted you to take off that uniform and put on a suit and run for office?

>> i think there are some people do feel as though i changed parties public safety will be the number one issue. public safety, when it comes to that, people are having a sense of change of thought. people is not a democrat or republican issue. it's an american issue. it's a people issue. people want to feel safe. that's why i urge people to visit singletary for congress.com. put a former police chief in congress. >> brian: laron, thanks so much thank you for joining me. trying to by going to washington. appreciate it. >> thank you, brian. >> brian: you got it 14 minutes before the top of the hour check in with senior meteorologist janice dean for the fox weather forecast. she is roughing the elements. >> janice: it's a little cold. i was in florida last week temperatures in the upper 70s and come back and it's freezing in the northeast. >> brian: you should have known. >> janice: it's nice to be back. i missed you brian kilmeade. take a look at the temperatures and show you where it's really cold. 46 in chicago. 41 in fargo, 35 in billings. >> i shouldn't be complaining because it's a lot colder northern tier as well as the rockies where we have snow flying across colorado. a front that's moving across the river valley. heavy rain stretching from texas all the way to the great lakes frakes. we have flood flood watches in effect some of these areas. able aware of that. we do have the stronger storms that could percolate across parts of texas up towards the lower great lakes. we are not talking about a severe weather outbreak like a lot of tornadoes but we could see some of those severe storms reach, you know, hail, damaging winds, that kind of thing over the next couple of hours. all right. we will keep you up to date. i will be heading inside, brian kilmeade. >> brian: one thing about hail. you don't really need a senior meteorologist to know when you are getting hit by hail because it hurts. >> janice: you still need me. just wear a helmet. >> brian: wear a helmet next time. thank you. 12 minutes before the top of the hour. president biden's west wingman visit then joe biden met with his son's business partner at the white house. miranda devine broke this story. she says there is even more to uncover and she is next. steve logs obtained by the "new york post" show that hunter biden's closest business partner eric schwerin visiting the white house and other prominent locations 1 times between '09 and 15 to hold meetings with joe biden's staff and even an official sit down with joe biden, then vice president in 2010. "new york post" columnist miranda devine broke this story. she joins us now. -mile-an-hour, you know, i'm puzzled because i remember outside white house having then joe biden about whether he spoke to his son about overseas business dealings and that was a no. but you have got the goods. >> well, this just cast further doubt on that answer that joe biden gave to peter doocy and others during the election campaign, saying that he knew nothing about his son's overseas business dealings. here is eric schwerin who is as you say hunter biden's closest business partner at his firm that was doing a lot of those overseas business dealings and he is in the white house, backwards and forwards. we have now discovered he also was there about a dozen times in 2015 and 2016 in the last two years of joe biden's vice presidency. including meeting with as you say joe biden. meeting with his closest, you know, assistants in his office. and also meeting twice with steve, the then vice president's chief of staff. >> steve: sure, speaking of the vice president. this guy, eric schwerin was involved in joe biden's finances. you got the goods on that, too. >> intimately involved. he was preparing his tax returns. he was doing something with his mortgage. and he also had signature privileges over a bank account that joe biden shared with hunter biden. >> steve: you got call him up and see if he will do an interview with you. because he obviously knows where all the bodies might be buried. >> if only it were that easy, steve. but, look, i have a pretty good idea that he would probably, if the grand jury in delaware is doing their job, they would be the star witness, because he knows where all the bodies are buried. >> steve: lead story right now new york post.com are they up to their old election tricks? and you are worried that the next election democrats might do something, and particularly you highlight the use of mules on how it's possible that using mules can you manipulate an outcome. >> yeah, steve, look, there is a new movie out called 2,000 mules documentary which will open in about a week. and it is incredible. it shows the most definitive evidence to me that there was really systematic rigging of the last election. at least in this one section which is this blatt harvesting and when they did was they used cell phone geo locations. they board up a whole lot of data in battle ground states and combined that with surveillance footage from cameras located at drop boxes. and what they saw when they put those two pieces of evidence together was repeatedly time after time these sage people going to and from drop boxes. dropping ooff a few ballots here and there and going to some nonprofit like stacey abrams picking up more ballots and going and sprinkling them around. that could have made a difference to the election. >> steve: read all about it at the new york post.com. miranda devine thank you very much. >> thanks steve. >> steve: a twitter takeover could be just around the corner. new reports that twitter board could actually accept elon musk's bid. that straight ahead on this monday. you are watching "fox & friends" live from new york city. what a beautiful sunrise. ♪ >> steve: in cleveland. ♪ ♪ before they even start, with about 10 minutes of treatment once every 3 months. so, ask your doctor if botox® is right for you, and if a sample is available. effects of botox® may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. don't receive botox® if there's a skin infection. tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. in a survey, 92% of current users said they wish they'd talked to their doctor and started botox® sooner. plus, right now, you may pay zero dollars for botox®. ask your doctor about botox® today. for investors who can navigate this landscape, you may pay zero dollars for botox®. leveraging gold, a strategic and sustainable asset... the path is gilded with the potential for rich returns. ♪ we could walk forever ♪ ( ♪♪ ) ♪ walking on ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪ ♪ some ♪ ♪ may say ♪ ♪ i'm wishing my days away ♪ ♪ no way ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪ ♪ ♪ dry eye symptoms keep driving you crazy?

>> they have been bombing that plant for quite some time. we understand the cease-fire maybe lasted 24 to 48 hours that is a heart breaking situation there. just dire. most people underground in tunnels. women and children saying they are running out of food in mariupol. >> ainsley: how are they getting food and water. i know they don't have heat there. >> brian: they are not. >> really not clear but there is video emerging of women and children under ground in tunnels. one mother who said they had been under ground since february. >> steve: my goodness. >> last week that viral video of the commander there pleading for help. pleading for rescue even asking president biden to rescue them. >> brian: they just need to sends their own forces in because i don't think the russians are going to stop. all right, matt, thanks. when you look at the fact that we have not had an ambassador. think about that. we have not had an ambassador to ukraine. before you name the secretary of defense, you should put an ambassador in the ukraine. we'll haven't had one since 2019. >> ainsley: here we are 60 days later. >> brian: i give this woman slovakia calm to war zone to toa vee to kyiv. if they get targeted there. so this is one be way to say they are trying to really cordon it off and say they won, the ukrainians won the battle of kyiv. i think that's important. >> ainsley: they did the troops left and now going to donbas region. >> steve: right. lloyd austin the secretary of defense who jennifer griffin is traveling with along with antony blinken. he had said what ukraine needs now given the fact they are hold up for the most part the donbas. they need tanks and artillery and other munitions it will be interesting to see what the united states does send them. joey jones was there about an hour ago talking about the possibility of the ukrainians taking back places like the donbas. here is joey. >> when john kirby stands at the pong and says we are being very specific on the type of weapons we are sending based on the situation, the question i have and i haven't heard answered is that because ukraine military is trying to defend places like their capital trying to defend russian advancement? or is that because they are going on the attack and trying to take back the donbas. military place of strength attack back or simply trying to hold what they have been able to hold and reinforce that defensive position? i think maybe both things are happening. those are the questions to be asked. if russia is trying to, you know, keep a win of winning the donbas and strengthening their hold along the coast, is in ukraine a position to fight to take it back? >> ainsley: zelenskyy's priorities weapons and support u.s. and european leaders and sanctions, policies against russia because of all the terrorism they have committed in ukraine. secretary austin said the military needs are changing there now he said because of the terrain. they moved out of kyiv, now reassembled their troops over in the donbas region. he said zelenskyy is now focused on more tanks, as you were saying artillery and other munitions and long range fires. >> brian: there have been so many abandoned tanks or captured tanks, they might have as many tanks as the russians and add in the diswraf lynn missiles. also i think the orthodox catholic church has a lot to answer for. i mean, what's going on with this patriotic careel had the easter ceremonies for president putin. he has endorsed this whole move killing civilians, invading another country, aiming for grandma's and killing babies? this orthodox catholic church. the pope has got to speak out about this. you can't do this in the name of christianity. and these guys were all out there in public. this is mass shown throughout russia and europe. good luck with that i don't know what bible this christian leader is reading. but there is nothing christian about this. >> ainsley: is he doing whatever vladimir putin tells him to do. think about the congregation. if the high priest is telling them this is okay. then the congregants might agree. steve keep in mind putin and his propaganda machine in russia has been telling everybody we have got to liberate the people of ukraine it's filled with nazis. they are denazifying ukraine. that's what the people of russia are being told. >> ainsley: i wonder what's being told on state run tv over there about oil depot hit. military fillings that was hit by the ukrainians overnight? >> brian: if you want, watch the bbc, they still have a presence there the bbc is able to cover it but have to do it in a way that allows them to stay there that doesn't get them arrested. that's kind of interesting. in terms of the endorsement. this patriotic can a real says full throated endorsement doubling down even as the world recoils on this widespread carnage. i just think that christian leaders have a special obligation to speak out in situations like this. because people like okay. whatever my priest says goes. and he wouldn't be saying this if it's not right? it's so wrong it could not be more wrong. >> steve: the pope has spoken out what's going on. he wants to stop as soon as possible. >> brian: speak out and condemn this guy. >> ainsley: 7:09 on the east coast. president biden is set to meet with the congressional caucus today as members of his party catering to activists and border patrol. >> blow back comes accuse the department of homeland security secretary endangering american citizens by failing to secure our southern border. >> brian: or even trying. david spunt joins us now live from washington to do with more. hey, david. >> good morning to you three. it's not on his public schedule but the president is expected to meet privately with the congressional hispanic caucus at some point today sitting in on a meeting and expect him to get an earful from some of these democrats in that caucus. specifically, not only what some of these policies of this white house are doing to migrants but also americans. not only living in border states but americans all across the country. it's a trickle down effect. there is a concern amongst some democrats that the party is in trouble in november, meaning the democratic party. one of the reasons is because of this administration's border policy. specifically the inability to get a real grip on the surge of illegal immigration that is happening daily. right now title 42, the policy that expelled illegal migrants from the united states citing covid concerns will end may 23rd. that's less than a month away. that means there is expected to be this massive surge at the border that we have been covering. several democrats have come out publicly to warn of the surge that will come as a result of the end of title 42. pro-immigration activists have urged the white house to end title 42 excuse me. >> yes, they are listening to the immigration activists my question who is listen to the men and women in green and blue? more important loy is listening to the border community? >> some sad news we have been following over the weekend. 22-year-old bishop evans a texas national guard soldier went missing after reportedly trying to rescue two migrants who and to be drowning while crossing the rio grande river from mexico. a delegation of republican members of congress will head to eagle pass texas, not far from where he went missing later today. >> brian: pretty canny amazing what they thought controversial move by border patrol agents. president ran to the microphone. vice president ran to the microphone going to investigate this has there been any acknowledgment by the president that this border patrol agent assumed drown. >> not publicly yet. today is he going to be meeting on the south lawn with the tampa bay lightning. that's the only public event that he has today. again, the meeting with the congressional hispanic caucus not public. no, we have not heard from him yet at least on camera. >> it's not going to be public. that's probably going to be a tough conversation they are going to have with the president. david, ultimately, the president's party wants to win in november. so it sounds like if you look at the public opinion polls, he really needs an off ramp. he needs an excuse, you know what? we are going to extend it inner definitely or whatever. not just pull the plug on may 23rd. what is the off ramp at this point? >> it's a good question. several drafts may have the answer. others may not. seeing people like henry cuellar and other members starting to speak up. cuellar is the one we have been on for a while. he has been speaking about it really since the president took over january 2021. but as far as an off ramp is concerned. title 42 is a major turning pointed and apparently dip, it's not too late for him to continue title 42 it expires but it could continue. >> ainsley: okay for the kids to wear masks up in new york the toddlers because of covid reasons going to end title 42 because i guess at the border covid is not as big of a deal. >> brian: thanks, david. if you come from france don't you need your nose swabbed? >> ainsley: dow don't you need to show a passport to get back in the country? >> brian: i thought so he. i just fear that the president is going to act like -- i think he will extend it probably it to july and act like well i addressed -- is he going to say i addressed the border issue by -- and maybe extending title 42. yet, with title 42 in place, there is still not enforcing it the way they should. still not enforcing the remain in mexico like the judge told them to. so you have the governor of sex have to cut separate deals with mayors in mexico in order to is stop the influx of all of central and south newark america. so it is -- i don't even -- when the president gives in here. he is not giving in to conservatives. is he still blowing open the border and has shown no interest in controlling it. it has to be intentional. >> ainsley: kamala harris doesn't go to the border. our own president hasn't mentioned this 22-year-old bishop evans, the border patrol agent who was down there and trying to rescue two migrants and the water turns out they were trying to traffic in drugs. and he goes missing they think he might have drowned. they notified his family on friday is he from arlington, texas. >> steve: is he in the texas national guard. he was a specialist. a field artillery man from arlington. he served the guard two years. he was deployed to kuwait. he had assignments in iraq as part of operation spartan shield before serving the texas border and assigned to what is being referred to as operation lone star. that is governor abbott's effort to try to beef up things on our southern border. but nonetheless, he is presumed dead think hour went missing trying to save on or two migrants appeared to be drowning. now the texas department of safety those migrants apparent whether i involved in elicit transnational narcotics trafficking. he saved his life -- -- he tried to save the lives of two people who were bringing drugs into tour country that a terrible story. when you look at the network news coverage. let's go ahead and put it up. how much between friday morning and sunday at 12:12:30 p.m. how much did the nets works cover it nobody covered it abc 20 seconds. do you think they did the part how he lost his life presumably trying to save somebody who was smuggling drugs in? i bet they couldn't work that in to those 20 seconds. >> ainsley: congressman henry cuellar facing headwinds. he is on the border. he said he ho is listening to the border communities? that's my question? >> brian: none. he also said we should drill. is he getting on the nerves of democrats. that should be interesting conversation. out of the # 2 that show up for the white house today i wonder how many are going to push the president to keep it in place and how many are going to stick with the party line? >> steve: sounds like two for sure. but that leaves 40. two vs. 40. >> ainsley: carley has more headlines for us. >> >> carley: i certainly do. we begin with this. police in los angeles, serving for a crew of thieves behind the latest follow-home robbery. authorities say the armed robbers trailed the victims from a restaurant back to an airbnb. the corroboration forced them inside the home at gunpoint and stole $75,000 worth of jewelry. hours from now johnny depp amber heard trial resumes. depp is expected to be on the stand following last week's explosive testimony. he says he is the victim of heard's abuse. heardens lawyers accusing depp of beings aggressor showed video of him breaking a cabinet and heard's words crazy. weavened could flare estate manager of the former couple who may have mentioned one of their blow out fights. a lot of excitement coming out of the usfl the new orleans breakers making a statements in 34-3 rout of the tampa bay bandit. quickly establishing itself as the league's best team. scrambling into the end zone once and throwing two strikes. on saturday the philadelphia stars took down the pittsburgh maulers 30-23 in the league's first battle of pennsylvania. and the birmingham stallions defeating the houston gamblers 33-28. before the game. a few familiar faces making a special appearance for the opening coin toss. very own "fox & friends weekend" anchors getting things started in birmingham. how about that?

defense lloyd austin on a c-17. just hours after he met with president zelenskyy in kyiv. but the biggest news from that meeting was announced by secretary of state anthony blinken. >> we will have american diplomats in ukraine next week they will start the process of looking at how we actually reopen the embassy itself in kyiv in fact, we are told that the ambassador and the officials from the u.s. embassy will be in ukraine starting this week. you during the three hour meeting secretary austin announced the first 18 howitzers, long range 155-meter artillery had arrived in ukraine. the pentagon plans to build. first 15 artillery men are graduating from six day crash course in how to use this precision-fired artillery. >> we want to see ukraine remain a sovereign country. democratic

country. those strikes came just after they had arrived across the border. also here at ramstein tomorrow, there will be meeting 20 defense ministers, hosted by secretary austin. he will be joined by general mark milley the chairman of the joint chiefs. they will be asking those defense ministers what their country can give in terms of more military aid for ukraine, very important meeting tomorrow

the top of the hour. morgan ortagus former state department spokesperson joins us now. big story is they finally have an ambassador in ukraine. i did not -- was not ivan cognizant of the fact didn't even nominate win to this point. >> no. it's been almost a year and a half since this administration has been in power. as you said, no ambassador nominated, they have had other trivial posts filled but not this one this one has been something that many of us have been critical for quite some time because you needed to show the importance of having an ambassador there as you guys have reported. it looks like diplomats are going to start going back into ukraine and eventual reopening of the embassy. the brits already announced that last week it looks like some diplomats are going to take day trips to lviv. this is really important, brian. i think this really sets the tone of -- for how the u.s. is approaching ukraine. not easy to get them in and certainly risking their lives to do it so i'm certainly happy to see this move but the ambassador move is a year overdo. >> brian: when secretary austin wants to see russia weakened to the degree it has not done in the ukraine, that might be something that you expect to hear inside the pentagon. should that be the public words because i think it's important for people to understand they are fighting for ukraine sovereignty and not against russia if you want to get your your allies involved, correct? >> no, you are absolutely right, it's interesting you picked up on that did i as well. i know hugh hewitt was talking about it this morning. in modern warfare, these leaders, the secretary of defense, secretary of state have to be so careful about what they are saying because the putin propaganda machine, especially internally within russia, is really prolific. listen, the russian people are rallying behind putin. they have rallied behind -- they are supporting this incursion by and large and so, again, exactly what you said. we should be focusing on strengthening ukraine, strengthening our nativity toe allies and these sort of missteps that the secretary of defense gave do not help the case. listen, this trip that they made is really hard. i was in kyiv a little over two years ago with zelenskyy with mike pompeo. i have been into war zones with mike pompeo, going in like this with the secretary of state, secretary of defense, it's an enormous feat what those teams had to pull off today. >> brian: talk about that. accomplished so much serving in the myrtle, serving as diplomat, serving the government under mike pompeo. you are are not going to have a chance to run for the republican new york stock exchange in tennessee as a congresswoman. you got booted off the ballot. why? >> you know, i'm not really sure, brian. there's a slate of people who were really competitive who had raised a lot of money who were deemed in a private, secret vote not to be -- republican enough, which i think we all think is laughable. and unfortunately there was a pretty big controversy last week there was a state senator who said some very anti-is semitic remarks about me and president trump's family and his daughter. >> brian: which were. >> he said the only reason that basically no one cared except the president's daughter and son-in-law if i were kicked off the ballot because we were all jewish. i want to thank senator marsha blackburn the only leader in the state who came out and condemned those statements. she is a leader and very good friend not everybody in tennessee abides by anti-met

success to him coming over to this and so he bought a firebird as a young man. like i think a lot of families across the country, you have kids and bills. other things come first. these classic cars end up sitting in the garage collecting dust and rest and starting to rot away. sometimes you have to sell it to sacrifice and begins me to support her family. now his son has grown up with a family

ukraine's national railway is now reporting that five train stations here came under attack this morning with unconfirmed reports of casualties. this is all happening after the u.s. secretary of state and secretary of defense used two visit this country. the state governor here said there was a missile attack near a train station just outside of lviv to the east. the state governor saying within the past 24 hours here in the lviv region, the air defense systems jot down a russian missile that he says came from a plane. there was a threat of a russian missile coming from the caspian sea. meanwhile in russia, authorities confirm a massive fire at an oil storage facility in the city. not far from the ukrainian border. there's no confirmation of what caused that fire. last week russia accused ukraine of bombing several other buildings in that area. this is all happening just hours after u.s. secretary of state antony blinken and secretary of defense lloyd austin left ukraine. they met with president zelenskyy and members of his cabinet in kyiv. >> we don't know how the rest of this war will unfold. but we do know that a sovereign independent ukraine will be around a lot longer then vladimir putin is on the scene. our support for ukraine going forward will continue. it will continue until we see final success. >> a short while ago, ukrainian president zelenskyy wrote that the u.s. delegation of high officials to kyiv is very valuable. he is grateful to the united states of america for "unprecedented help." also right now, rest is claiming it will halt its attack on the massive steel plan to allow civilians to leave. for months, women and children have been hiding out in tunnels under ground there as russia bombed the city. some people say they are running out of food and water. many people who survived mariupol call it. the secretary of the united states states that diplomats will be returning to ukraine next week with the u.s. embassy in kyiv to reopen at a later date. >> thank you very much for the report from lviv. >> brian: the one thing about the secretary of defense, we are finding out that the russians are nearly the fighting force we thought they were up there there's no coordination and no experience there where their equipment has been rusted out. it has not been maintained. the morale has been terrible. when the secretary of defense comes out and says he wants the russians to be weakened to the degree, he can do the things he's done an invading ukraine, that i could be problematic. that would help unite the russian people who say they are going after us. they want to destroy us because the president vladimir putin is constantly saying, this is about ukraine. this is about nato versus us. nato is the one who blew up our worship grenada was the one that is making it so hard to invade this country. i would not be surprised if they try to walk that back. >> ainsley: what a guy. secretary said the needs are now changing in zelenskyy knows that. they are fighting in different regions now. other munitions. i thought it was his most positive. we are giving $165 million in non-american ammunition. to make sure our ammunition or the ammunition we are funding will work in their weapons. they have soviet weapons, not the same as ours. >> steve: in the meantime, let's go to london right now and dial in piers morgan. he's got a big program starting today on fox nation. good morning to you, good afternoon to you, mr. piers. >> good morning to you in new york. >> steve: we will talk about your special with trump which is getting amazing publicity. let's talk domestically about publicity. we know that the president's poll numbers in this country are very low. however, given similar low poll numbers, top guys at the white house thinks that joe biden can get reelected. his chief of staff has tweeted this, piers morgan. "an interesting observation. resident when his approval rating is 36%. joe biden's rating right now according to the latest averages 41%. what say you? >> i say they are living in cloud cuckoo land. they are going to get one of the greatest shellacking's in the history of midterm elections. i think joe biden is in big trouble. i think his presidency has been very weak so far. he has been uninspiring. surging inflation and some catastrophic divisions have left him vulnerable. you mentioned the interview how confident donald trump is about the resurgence of the republicans both in the midterms and indeed in the national election. with good reason. if i was the democrats, i would not be so sure that they can replicate anything that's happened in france. very different system there. i think if you look at this year numbers here with joe biden, you would say right now the democrats are in big trouble. if i were them, i would take their head out of the clouds and get real. >> ainsley: remember the movie "dumb and dumber" when she says, there's a chance. that reminds me of. >> listen, i was going to say, i have a chance of sleeping with a supermodel tonight. it is not to happen. >> ainsley: it's interesting that they are highlighting this poor approval rating to say that he has a chance. >> i just think it is completely delusional. and it does that kind of thing you say when you think some people around him at the white house have gone literally bonkers. because that kind of message if i was a democrat would be, like, what? sorry. i think it is delusional. i think it is also -- covering over the tracks, isn't it? we can all see what is happening. america has a situation right now where many millions of people are really feeling the pinch now from rising prices from surging inflation particularly of the gas and so on. you can say you like that things are going well. when people are experiencing in real time the pain of what is happening and they can't even see their kids in some cases with lines increasing, this kind of stuff i'm afraid it's going to pour oil all over the fire which at the moment is raging at the white house about the way they are running the country. >> steve: you are multidimensional multimedia person. i read your column about what led to the episode with donald trump. did you say all these things about me? they were accurate. someone gave him a bunch of quotes of things you said about him. you said, after trying to save this interview. i have a crew outside. my first episode. i want to play this clip -- before we play this clip, can i just get your take on how you were able to get the interview and call him the president down? >> i have known donald trump a very long time. i've interviewed him maybe 35 or 40 times. i know it is like to interview him. as a columnist, i work and i had written 120 columns when he was president. about half of them were supportive when many other people were not supporting them. have to wear critical when i thought he deserved outback. i think that is the kind of person he thought he was choosing. someone who calls it as he sees it. i had an amazing interview by the way. it turned out to be 75 minutes. incredibly wide-ranging. the first two nights of my show, and i think when people watch it, they will all calm down including donald trump. although we get heated about certain points in particular, his refusal to accept the results of the last election and what subsequently happened on january the 6th. there are many areas where i agree with him. not least the way they would have dealt with vladimir putin in ukraine. i do think that all those who rushed in on the back of what i thought was a fantastic promo trailer for this interview seem to have gotten the entire world knowing which by the way it is the point of the trailer. when i was on the apprentice, donald trump did that to me every night. i wanted to get everyone to watch it. when you watch it in totality, i think everyone can calm down. it's a really interesting interview with a man who let's be honest right now if he decides to run again may well win back the republican nomination and could well be president again which will be the first time that is ever happened. a unique person in the american public right now. i had a fantastic time with the interview. >> ainsley: what did he say about meghan markle? >> he said he was not a fan of meghan markle. he didn't like the way she disrespected the monarchy. he really tore into prince harry. he said it was terrible that he did not attend the memorial while he had gone to the super bowl and texas rodeo and popped over to holland to go to the netherlands to put on their game. but could not find the time to go to a memorial service for his grandfather pretty thought that was terrible. very supportive and trump is a big clean fan. he said how much he enjoyed meeting that claim. he said that -- she called him -- he probably does like the band. he said that harry is the most equipped man in the world. i think we all know what he meant by that. he also said i am a great predictor. he think he's a great predictor. he thinks he's nostradamus. he said on the great predictor. i predict this marriage is going to end back. harry will be returning to england with his tail between his legs begging for forgiveness. it's a very, very, as you would imagine, very full on trump interview. those clips back in the u.k. have played out very well with the british public. almost all of whom agree with it. >> brian: i can tell you like doing a talk show. >> do you mean i like to talk? >> steve: yes, you do. saved by their word. >> you can't get enough of my british accent. come on. >> steve: we have all seen the trump promo that the former president took exception to. for a taste of what piers morgan uncensored is going to be like in the future with people like sharon osbourne who you have known in the past, take a look at this promo. >> piers and i have both been through similar experiences. piers spoke about megan. and i spoke about the way i feel. piers speech -- after all the big who ha all the mass online, i am back. to talk to piers morgan about what really happened. what people can expect from me is the truth. >> steve: that is what people want. >> people want the inside story. >> what i thought about that was i got kicked out of my morning show in the u.k. because meghan markle wrote to the company demanding my head on a plate disbelieving that. having the audacity to disbelieve someone whose nickname is prince as pinocchio. if you remember what happened to sharon osborne, she was hosting "the talk." she was fired for basically saying i had a right to an opinion. she didn't even say that she agreed with that. i thought that was an egregious censorship of her right to freedom of speech. i have on canceled sharon. she is back on his show in the u.k. now called "the talk." at the end of the interview, very moving and very shocking about the way that she got treated. at death threats and called a racist and all that stuff. there was no evidence for any of that. at the end of it, i actually formally on canceled here. that is going to be the spirit of my show. >> steve: how do you do that? >> i literally had in front of me, i said sharon osborne, you are uncanceled. about to host a brand-new show called "let's talk." i have uncanceled her. if there's in, anyone who has been unfairly canceled, i am here to save you. i am in a british knight shining armor on a big white horse know and i will save you and to you three as well, should anything happen in your careers, i'm there for you. >> steve: you've got the media calling every day. to elon musk, it looks like there is some relatively breaking news. it was like a week ago it looked to elon musk is on the cost of getting twitter at $54.20 per share. he was able to get further investors. this could be a done deal. if it is in fact a done deal like it looks it's going to be, what are the ramifications of this? >> i think it is a good thing, because elon musk is an absolute flag bearer for free speech. he talks about this woke mind-set virus. i think he is right. it is a virus. to go around wanting to destroy everything that gets in your way that you don't agree with. you become a really dangerous thing in the society. elon musk wants to return free speech. i think he recognizes that it's completely ridiculous for example that donald trump -- i discussed this in the interview. he is banned from twitter and yet, people who still have accounts include vladimir putin, the supreme leader of iran, and taliban leaders. how can that be right? how can they be justified? social media platform allows them accounts but bans donald trump. i think you will see if elon musk takes control, i think you'll see a much more tolerant view of all manner of people's right to free speech, not just on the left but also on the right who tend to be the only people that get no platformed by twitter and facebook. >> steve: you just described essentially elon musk would be following your lead on your show on fox nation. you will be uncancelling people. if elon musk takes over, he will uncancel who have been canceled by twitter. >> i was uncancel donald trump from twitter and make the point i just made. you can't allow vladimir putin an account in the next president of the united states. it's completely nuts. it's clearly politically motivated. i also discussed with him this outrageous situation we had with "the new york post" just before the election about hunter biden's laptop. i said to him, it seems to be completely outrageous that twitter censored that story that mainstream media joined in and said it was russian disinformation. now the very same mainstream media are saying, actually, it was all true. legitimate story. why did you investigate at the time? i made the point to donald trump, although i completely disagree that he had the election stolen illegally by voter fraud, because he hasn't produced to my mind the evidence actually, he'd have a much better argument if he said, you know what? the suppression of that story of hunter biden's laptop could have tipped election my way. i think that's a really valid point which we can all agree with. again, i come back to elon musk. is he likely to allow twitter if he controls it to literally sensor a true story, i don't think he will. >> brian: you are well rested. now you are doing a morning show, your so shot out of a cannon. this is what it will be like if we did a morning show i got eight hours of sleep. >> i feel your pain. people have no idea. the time you guys get out of bed, how hard it is to be high energy early in the morning. i am living proof to all three of you. there's life after a morning show and its life where you don't look half dead. you got energy. >> look at you. >> taking -- we look half dead? [laughter] >> brian: we could have taken a shower. he's so fired up. >> ainsley: he probably got in trouble at school were talking too much. now you get paid to do it. you are doing a great job. >> asked legally used to be thrown out of my local pub in my village. forgetting too noisy in the pub and arguing too loudly. can you believe that? >> brian: yes, 100%. i saw it with the bartender who tossed you. check them out on fox nation. >> steve: "piers morgan uncensored" premieres today. have a great afternoon and evening there in london. >> always a pleasure, guys. >> ainsley: ryan is going to join us live. ukraine strike overnight on russia reportedly set the russian oil depot up in flames. >> brian: plus, a democrat running for congress wants to raise the minimum wage on the next fantasy next. i look back with great satisfaction on my 32 years of active duty. i understand the veteran mentality. these are people who have served, they'e been in leadership positions, they're willing to put their life on the line if necessary and they come to us and they say, "i need some financial help at this point in time." they're not looking for a hand out, they're looking for a little hand up. my team at newday usa is going to do everything we possibly can to make sure that veteran gets that loan. >> brian: back with the fox news alert. look at this. and oil depot in russia. it is reportedly the work of ukrainian sneak attack. this possible strike follows meetings between defense secretary lloyd austin and president zelenskyy and kyiv. traveling with those top u.s. officials in joins us live from germany. an affair, what is the latest? you started out these updates by saying you have never been through this before and you have been through everything. >> it really was very dramatic when i got the call that i will be traveling with the secretary of state on this supersecret very highly secure mansion over with him and the defense secretary. we flew over to an undisclosed location. we were taken to a hanger. we slept on the cots. we were put into a total news blackout along ukrainian border. in the principal secretary of state blinking and defense secretary alston, they took a long train ride into kyiv and met with president zelenskyy. president zelenskyy let the cat out of the bag and set on saturday he was going to meet that to. not because some security concerns. when they came back, we did a press conference this morning at about 2:00 a.m. eastern time. that is where we are to them about what they had discussed. they spent about three hours with president zelenskyy as you mentioned. there had been that oil fire in behind enemy lines inside russia mysterious explosions at those oil depots. just ahead of those meetings, there were reports that that was ukrainian fire that caused those oil fires. what we talked to secretary of state blinken about, his biggest announcement and what he told zelenskyy is that the u.s. would be reopening their embassy in kyiv in the capital in the coming weeks and that u.s. embassy officials would return in the coming days and that there would be a new u.s. ambassador. secretary austin talk about how he had authorized creating five battalions of ukrainian trained artillerymen who could use these new howitzers. we saw so much weaponry being packaged up and sent into ukraine. it was really stunning to see this thing is, that javelins come about howitzers, the 155-millimeter shells. this was in operation around the clock. there were 8-10 weapons shipments a day landing and then being off-loaded immediately. they are not being warehoused. they are being taken straight into ukraine. what we also learned is that 50 ukrainian artillerymen have just finished a six-day training at an undisclosed location in europe. another 50 will start at six-day training. they will be trained on those howitzers which are moving forward. it could be game changers. >> brian: we get this equipment to poland or wherever we can get it to. and then it is up to the ukrainians to get their weapons and all the equipment to the right people at the right time. is that enough? do you think the u.s. should be doing more to make sure it gets to the people who need it most? >> absolutely. what we have reported on and on my prior trip just over ten days i go into ukraine, it is very clear to me that the logistical system on the ground is not good enough. it is an old soviet system that the ministry of defense, the ukrainian ministry of defense is using. i was very specialized weapons, this thing years, that javelins, i asked secretary austin today, these weapons could bring down civilian airliners if they fall into the wrong hands. we have seen photos of some of those weapons falling into russian backed rebels hands. they need a method to track those sophisticated weapons. they also need to get this investigated weapons to the front line trained troops. not every trip knows how to use as staying here. not every troop knows how to use a howitzer. they have to marry that up and they need a little help with that logistics. that is something the u.s. could be helping her with. >> brian: great job. i will talk to on radio and a little while. let's turn to somebody was no stranger to combat. former secretary of the interior. your thoughts on where we are at right now. are you happy with the pace in which we are supplying? how would you describe how the wars going from the ukrainian perspective? >> another series of failure, quite frankly. we took military action off the table immediately. i have fought with the russians in kosovo. i've known the russians very well. to negotiate with the russians on any level, new you negotiate from strength to not weakness. you don't put anything on the table. you certainly don't put troops on the ground. you don't take them off the table immediately. we were slow. this administration almost looks everything through a globalist and global warming perspective, that 2 lenses they look at. without the u.s., there is no nato. nato is a fine idea, but we have the capability. when we don't have a set of deterrence that russia will stand and then look at it, we are in trouble. i think we continue to give tactics, techniques, and procedures. i think our policy overseas as we fight for freedom and freedom is in peril, it's a great reagan policy in ukraine, what we are seeing is an enormous amount of patriotism and fighting and grit. >> the fighters and the russians. >> the russians. the russians don't have the capability we thought they did conventionally. their tanks are magnificent. it has a 125 reactive armor. they have lost hundreds of tanks. it has been logistics. we watch fuel. we watch training. her ability to project power in a conventional way now isn't quite what we thought. you are seeing a projection of power by a nuclear. we are seeing nuclear tests. i think what we need to do is have a strategy. what is our in-state in ukraine? thus far we've seen a strategy more reactive than proactive. people are dying. putin is the face of evil. there is no doubt when he first invaded, it was indiscriminate fire. now he is using artillery just a crush and a pound. you have seen the pictures -- this is not -- this is eastern europe. it opens up scars that we have not seen since world war ii. >> brian: i know you are running for congress now, an open seat in montana. people want to support your candidacy, where do they go? >> i can tell you this. leadership matters. there is a fear of uncertainty doubt across the country whether america's best time is behind us. america is not weak. we are far from weak beer we have the strongest military on the pace of the planet. we have the resources in this country. the leadership is weak and what america is not and there's a big difference. >> brian: maybe europe can start defending themselves know that they are motivated and we can start focusing on china. i look forward to seeing how you're going to do. it's always great seeing you. behind mount rushmore t-shirt. >> come out to glacier park. >> brian: if i can find a reason to do it for work, i will do it. >> we can make that happen. >> brian: best of luck. visitor logs revealed a vice president joe biden met with this as a business partner at the white house. isn't that nice?

>> i think there are three reasons why i am hoping this thing goes through. this deal looks like it's good for their shareholders. it's good for your free speech and good for the first amendment of this we go forward. you have these back takers who seem to be censoring conservatives all the time on twitter scaling back and throttling back twitter messages and posts that happen all the time. i think that a third reason, i think what i think that if we take the majority, we may investigate. that is why we sent a notice out there. we want this to be done in the right way. what is good for shareholders. the american people wanted done in a way that's good for the first amendment. we are tired of this throttling back and attacks and censorship of conservative posts and conservative thought pretty twitter and some of these other social media platforms, that is now the public square. that is where debate happens. they go after conservatives on these platforms. that needs to end. let's have a fair referee who calls balls and strikes he doesn't call the game for one side. let's let the debate happen. i hope that is the direction it goes. it looks like they may be moving that way. >> ainsley: thank you so much for coming on. we did reach out to twitter for a statement, but we did not hear back. the stunning amount of democrat running -- democrats running for congress and i want to raise the minimum wage. mike rowe knows how hard it is to pay your employees and how hard they work. he's going to join us now next. ♪ ♪ we believe our military heroes deserve a company who will fight for them just as they do for us. from buying to refinancing, the loan professionals at newday usa have given enlisted veterans a different kind of financial experience. with more ways to help more veterans, no bank, no lender, no one knows veterans like newday usa. before discovering nexium 24hr to treat her frequent heartburn... claire could only imagine enjoying chocolate cake. now, she can have her cake and eat it too. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn?

>> steve: it sounds like this is another person who has never operated a small business wants employees to make at least $30 an hour. >> why stop there? why not 50? >> steve: exactly. >> we've had this conversation a lot of times over the years. it is not a topic that is going to go away. the more you talk about it, the more you come to the same inescapable conclusion that it is either cause and effect or affect and cause. if you want to set prices, if you want to said rents, if you want this at the cost of food and the cost of gas, i know it is tempting. for as long as i have been alive, there has been a very loud and sometimes somewhat persuasive argument that says, look, people are in pain. we have to grab the prices where they are. they have to determine what their wages will be. i am way out of my lane, steve. never once in the history of the world have i ever known it to work. is he going to work now? i don't think it will. >> steve: there has been so much pent up demand the pandemic. that is why a number of employers have had to up the ante and they are paying their employees more. the federal minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour. some big corporations are paying $15. maybe she thinks everybody is getting paid $15 and the next stop there dollars. >> to me is very different things. if the market because of supply chain issues and because of demand -- if that is going to inspire companies to raise their rates, then that is what happens. it happens in my organization and a great big organizations. if the government decides what you have to pay a person or what you have to pay what you should pay for a gallon of milk, again, it all comes down to shortcuts. in my view. and maybe i am saying that in an uncharitable way. we all want the same thing. we all want to be able to afford a gallon of gas. we want to be able to earn a living wage. how do you do it? you step in and say there is a living wage. it's done. there is the cost of gas. it is done. do you say it's going to take longer, but we are going to put policies in place that we believe are ultimately going to let the market control much happening. it's going to be messy, but in the end, not as messy as this. >> steve: speaking of messy, and season 2 of fox business news prime cakes often night. how america works with mike rowe. you are actually on camera. and it does get messy from time to time. here is some sweepers after a parade, wilmington, delaware. let's take a look at it. dog sweeping. >> bango. >> whenever she sat down there, that is her alert that she found something. >> good girl, good girl. >> and with that, matt and marion are ready to sweep the parade grounds. in this line of work, plans do change fast. >> we just got a call that we have to go to. >> it looks like that parade suite. we will have to wait until more urgent matters are attended to. >> more urgent matters. you think about all the jobs in america. we look at some unsung heroes and obviously, you know, you go to the parade grounds. you think it is safe. it's people like that in dogs like that that make that happen. >> the first episode of season o cops. i will say it exactly what it is. each episode we focus on a new industry. where an old industry and give you an honest look at what it takes to make that work. we wanted to start this season off with a look at law enforcement. we go to wilmington, delaware, and we spend a couple of days in the lives of the police force there. and it is not like other shows. we sometimes it is exciting. sometimes it is dangerous. sometimes you are sweeping up parade ground. i don't have to tell you, steve, it has been a very difficult time to be a cop for the last four or five years. we have wanted to do a show that shines in honest light on the men and women of a typical police force in america who do what they do day in and day out. these men and women in wilmington are extraordinary. the dogs are extraordinary. i think folks are going to love it. >> steve: and kicks off tonight at 8:00 p.m. you can catch can catch "how america works with mike rowe" tonight over on fox business. you can finish that cup of coffee now. >> i think i will. thank you, steve. >> steve: don't go anywhere. ross chastain joins us live from victory lane. he's going to discuss that thrilling last lap pass where he won. and this celebration and then everybody is talking about involving a melon. first, let's check in with bill hemmer and dana perino. >> that is one way of doing it. >> one big melon. >> he apparently has been driving around with that in the backseat for a while. >> good morning to you, steve on monday. the u.s. tries to pressure vladimir putin. >> who is visiting the white house when joe biden was vp?

>> i will be honest. our driver brings it. it's got a special foam carrying case. he brought it out. probably a half mile from the in the the garage is and where i blew the rear tires off the car. he brought it all away out there. i was able to smash it. my family, my brother chad and i are eighth generation watermelon farmers back to my dad and eight generations before us. my goal was to use this platform of nascar to promote watermelons. >> steve: job well done. >> i never knew how but i wanted to promote our family livelihood. i'm selfish. i wanted to put food on our table, i wanted to show the world and use this platform to do that. now, you know, there is no better way then that friend at talladega. >> steve: set the scene for us. >> yeah, i mean, you just don't know how they are going to go. i was fully content to push kyle larson, the teammate and when he turned right, i was, like, okay, i was pushing a buddy of mine. i'm going to push the 43 card to the win. it crossed my mind. he turned right to block kyle. okay, i crossed the line. i really had no -- i could not comprehend that we won. i asked them, did we win? i team is celebrating i'm going on the backstretch. i never even slowed down. i was wide open. it was a serial moment. it's a culmination of tri- cows in the team that i drive for. we put ourselves in position to win. we have chances to win 4 or 5 races this year. we have won our. >> ainsley: how do you feel now?
