"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ elizabeth: tonight mounting global outrage over putin's atrocities indiscriminate bombing, massacring evacuees, women, children, men. ukraine's leader says this is deliberate murder. russia bombing a second nuclear facility but the kremlin is jolted. it cracked down on anti-war protests across russia. this crackdown the worst since stalin. now thousands have been arrested. this debate, what will stop putin? what could he invade next? we have a report from the ground. stocks rocked today.

talk of recession, five dollar gas. the white house energy policies, falling out of bed and down the stairs again. why white house message something making this worse. the white house denies reports it may block russia's oil, then talked up the need to reduce the dependence on foreign oil, then talked up oil from venezuela and iran but not u.s. producers. and the press secretary whip ad fastball claims, quote, we're not about cutting global supply. no one is talking about that. it is about russia and why cut u.s. supply? why act like tapping the strategic oil reserves is a strategy? it's not. it's a bandaid. also the fight over the no-fly zone over ukraine. the debate how would trump have handled that? a stunning new report, a plot out of iran to assassinate former national security advisor john bolton. we have the story. and this controversy, far left democrats try to score points on the back of ukraine. and more than a dozen lawmakers go to the border. they say to the president,

"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show. stocks in a broad selloff the dow enters correction territory. the nasdaq in a bear mark the can on reports the eu, the u.s., talking a russian oil embargo. the while house denying that today. oil hitting a 14-year high, nearly $131 a barrel. gas at an all-time high, tripled in just a year, heading to five bucks. recession fears are mounting there is that. now there is this. the humanitarian crisis is exploding in ukraine, the worst in europe since world war ii. connell mcshane is on the ground in slovakia with more. connell. reporter: liz, the total number of refugees is getting close now to two million. we've been watching them here?

slovakia. so many people coming in after such a long trip getting across the border. there are volunteers waiting to help them there. what they will do they will come over, there are a number of buses across the street, if you line up, if you go to another part of the country, another part of europe. we're talking to one man from england originally working in kyiv as a teacher. he was telling us how difficult it is right now to get civilians out of ukraine. >> like crazy. you get messages every day from people that don't know what to do. they are trying to escape and the russians are attacking evacuation routes. they were attacking the trains we were on. when we were on the train, turn off all the lights, the train would stop. as soon as air raid sirens would stop and as soon as we moved again we would stop. reporter: this family arrived as well. children on freezing cold night. others are not sure where they're going next.

others have family or friends in slovakia, some other country. i have got to tell you, liz, we're talking to some of the volunteers as well, so many people from all of europe stepping up to offer their homes so that refugees, this is a refugee crisis, approaching nearly two million have a place to stay at least on a temporary basis. liz? elizabeth: what a story, connell mcshane, great journal i thanks for joining us. we have reports two russian jets were shot down over ukraine. joining us now congressman pete meyer from house homeland security and congressman lee zeldin from house financial services. your reaction to the reporting you heard, congressman meyer? it is very clear russian forces overextended themselves. you see them resorting to indiscriminate bombing and shelling of civilian areas, violations of international law of armed conflict, war crimes because frankly they are not a

top-notch military and putin is getting desperate. elizabeth: to congressman meyer's point, congressman zeldin good to see you. russian bombing of evacuees, new ukrainian border is heading to russian ally belarus and people calling this move completely immoral. your reaction to that? >> it is. as congressman meyer is pointing out. we have multiple violations of international laws. russia is losing operations internationally throughout the entire globe. you've seen ukraine do very good job, utilizing social media, getting out videos, stories, so people watch the atrocities in real time and you're also seeing a dynamic with regard to the russian troops that must be demoralizing where they're not encountering an adversary they were told that was ahead of them. they're not coming across ukrainian government and people that is looking to inflict that

kind of harm that the russian government was sending down its ranks. that has to be greatly impacting the moral purpose and focus of the russian troops. elizabeth: he is deliberately slaughtering children, women and men. the situation on the ground is terrifying and heart-breaking. watch this. >> stop. stop. [bleep] [speaking in native tongue] [explosion] >> we will win, i believe that. i believe my country. i believe my people. they are heros. elizabeth: show "the new york times" homepage. a family of four dead. secretary of state is collecting evidence of putin's war crimes. he contributely bomb ad second nuclear facility. it is in kharkiv. it is an atomic facility that has a nuclear reactor.

the kharkiv institute. congressman mejier, russian war crimes. there is run on europe potassium iodide pills. they're worried about a nuclear accident, congressman mejier. >> this shows recklessness putin is operating. these are the same tactics bombing aleppo, bombing homs. we're seeing the exact same thing playing out in europe. the threat of a nuclear catastrophe we need to take incredibly seriously. at this point it is hard to know what putin's endgame is. he being defeated on the battlefield, being destroyed economically and god forbid he pulls ultimate madman car. elizabeth: he put his nuclear arsenal on high alert. that same day russian ally, belarus, congressman zeldin, they voted to say listen we'll take back on nukes. so congressman zeldin, let's

listen to senator marco rubio saying no to a no-fly sown. senator manchin says yes. >> a no-fly zone if people understood what it means it means world war iii. not some rule you pass everybody obliged by. iting willingness to shoot down the russian federation? >> would you support a no-fly zone? >> that is no the russian people's war, putin's war, and whatever it quest may be. to take anything off the table is wrong. i would take nothing off the table. elizabeth: congressman zeldin, how would trump have handled that? how would trump handle a no-fly zone and what is going on in ukraine? >> i don't believe putin would have invaded ukraine if president trump was still in office. i believe that one of the reasons why vladmir putin went into ukraine was sensing a vulnerability that manifested itself last august when the withdrawal from afghanistan and also the way secretary blinken

was indicating threats of strongly worded letters and sanctions that don't amount to much. president biden green-lighted a miner incursion and the white house tried to clean that up but damage was done. i don't believe we would be in the position in the first place. we need to lead, be strong, consistent and effective and right now that is not happening at the highest levels of the u.s. government. i can't answer to what president trump might do as far as a no-fly zone debate right now but as we saw during four years of president trump he was focused on not entering into new conflicts and to finish up wherever possible. elizabeth: congressman mejier, what is your reaction? what are your thoughts? >> i think it is important to recognize russia is not a force that can take us head on in any traditional military conflict there is always a concern something escalating to nuclear. i'm not a supporter of no-fly zone, the last thing we want,

first thing vladmir putin wants, wants to frame this as russia fighting the u.s. and nato and if we implement a no-fly zone that will exactly be the case. elizabeth: how do you think trump would have handled isn't. >> i think to congressman zeldin's point i think putin would have step ad lot more gingerly. he wouldn't have anticipated what president trump might have done. that would make him a lot more wary look what happened to quassem soleimani that was ripping up a playbook that the iranians gotten complacent with. i think russians have gotten complacent with their playbook and weren't expecting international condemnation. they got an understanding that the biden administration would act in a very measured way and putin took advantage of that. elizabeth: congressman zeldin, a lot of questions. why didn't europe put in a security agreement to make ukraine neutral? why did we wait to impose sanctions on russia? should europe step up more. a country, a nation, a region forgive me, a region of

400 million people, 21 economy. russia is 41 million, 1 1/2 trillion because putin is telegraphing the world right now, he doesn't care, that he will bomb nuclear reactors. >> the sanction threats were clearly not enough of a deterrent being that putin sided to invade ukraine any way. i believe europe was slow to react, germany especially. there was a shifting balance of power in europe, with the fast tracking of nord stream 2, the green light and germany's interest in relying on russian energy to supply its own, i believe it was a little bit of shocking reality when russia, when putin sided to invade ukraine. they were just late to, you know late to the reaction necessary. elizabeth: congressman peter meijeir, lee zeldin. thank you for joining us. breaking details a plot to assassinate former national

to scratch his head. >> the simplest thing we should be doing is selling energy to our friends and allies versus buying it from our enemies. sell to our friends and allies versus buy from our enemies. the biden administration is doing the exact opposite. reporter: democrat ric senator joe manchin says the u.s. needs to expand energy independence. the administration talking with iran about lifting oil sanctions in a nuclear deal. so far the white house dodging that direct question from me, now saying that they are doing everything they can to work to increase the supply of oil and trying to move the blame for gas prices to putin's invasion. >> we anticipated increase which i think some of your colleagues were asking about, that is the direct result of the invasion of ukraine and also there was an anticipation of that. that was, that was, was factored in as gas prices have gone up. reporter: president biden resisting making any changes to the energy policy while gas prices and oil prices flirt with

record highs. liz? elizabeth: thank you, edward lawrence joining us now, congressman blaine luetkemeyer and congresswoman nicole malliotakis. you were on the call with zelenskyy. the white house is saying no to a ban on russian oil trying to blame gas hike spikes on ukraine when it was moving higher for eight months straight. stopping oil industry but asking for oil from iran and russia? can you straighten this out, congresswoman. >> i don't think anyone would want understand why our president would want to purchase from our adversaries the human rights violators around the world and instead of having this country energy i. you're right the price has gone up before the invasion of ukraine. it haas gone up $1.70 since he rhee versed policies of president trump.

he put a ban on new leases, he stopped the keystone pipeline and created created this problem americans are facing. the war is exacerbating that but begs the question why we are not starting today reversing the policies of president biden to make sure we're energy independent. it is a national security issue. elizabeth: congressman luetkemeyer, president biden keeps saying make it in america. how about make it in america u.s. energy? terrific, right? we have this, congressman, the washington examiner, quoting a justice department source, there was a plot out of iran to assassinate former nsa john bolton, potentially on u.s. soil last year and that the secret service and the fbi were scrambled on that. now we're talking to iran in nuclear deal and talking about more oil from iran. >> none of that as makes sense as you said to me. this president, this administration is hell-bent trying to do everything the

wrong way. nicole is exactly right, when biden was elected president, price was $1.89 on inauguration day. i remember the day very well. today it is up dollar 1/2. he continues to talk with bad actors around the world. why? i think he is intentionally trying to run the economy into a ditch. an economist came into small business committee talking about amount of inflation caused by high energy prices. 20, 25% is caused by high energy resmall businesses to run their businesses, price their products more reason bring but they can't because of inflation, higher energy prices all works together. it all starts with an executive order last year that the president had to stop the keystone pipeline and restrict oil permits. this all can be undone by him. why is he not doing it and

running our country into a ditch. that is the question? elizabeth: we hear you loud and clear. watch senator lisa murkowski on this, watch white house press secretary blame ukraine for higher gas. to the congressman's point it was going up well before ukraine and admit the white house is shutting down u.s. oil which makes it more expensive. watch this. >> i would urge the president, take your, take your counterproductive policies like taxes and royalty hikes, take them off the table. how are we going to get prices down? he has got to change course. he has got to embrace american energy. >> the reason why we are seeing volatility in the global oil markets, the reason why the price of gas is going up is not because of steps the president has taken, they are because president putin is invading ukraine. what overall we need to do here is reduce our dependence on oil. europeans are doing that. we're doing that. >> we're working through an energy transition and reality is

we have to take some time to get off of oil and gas. we recognize this. this is a transition. >> congressman malliotakis, your reaction? >> i mean it its ridiculous to point to europe. europe, look at situation right now where they are beholden on russia. 40% of their natural gas comes from putin. that is why they're in this situation. he has so much leverage over them. we need to do the opposite that is the reason the president doesn't want to do it because he is afraid of the environmentalists. reality we could be for clean energy, renewable energy, we need diversification. we need traditional energy resources. he is playing a a political game hurting the american people, driving up small business expenses and food prices and it is just wrong. elizabeth: you know congressman luetkemeyer to the congressman's point the president numbers are not freight, got 47% in the marist poll, if gas goes beyond five dollars, you're talking

recession. constant misleading rhetoric, jen psaki says we don't have strategic interest in cutting global supply of energy. no one is talking about that. no one is asking to reduce global supply. not buying oil from russia so russia can fund its war machine. oil supply does not decrease by having that action. you know what i mean, congressman, there is constant misleading rhetoric, to think strategic reserves are a strategy. it is not a strategy it is a bandaid. they were using strategic reserve by offsetting that 6 billion bucks. tapping strategic reserve is not a strategy, it's a nickel and dime move, congressman luetkemeyer. >> i agree whole-heartedly. we purchased $22 million of oil from russia per day and it will go up because the price of oil will go up. the bottom line it is easy to solve the problem i mentioned a while ago.

open pipelines back up. let drilling take place. this is ridiculous, to restrict our ability to become energy independent at our own expense. it would be helping our enemy in the process this is nuts. elizabeth: dot it. >> you're act actually right. the consensus in congress is beginning to form around we need to open up oil lines to do this ourselves. elizabeth: congressman luetkemeyer and malliotakis, thanks for being on. truckers tried to encircle the d.c. today. why their protest the media largely ignored against pandemic shutdowns really do matter to you. we'll have the latest next own "the evening edit. >> why is a vaccine mandate needed in a country where covid is becoming an endemic quickly at this point? online u.s. stocks and etfs. and a commitment to get you the best price on every trade, which saved investors over $1.5 billion last year.

were destroyed by these unconstitutional lockdowns? >> well look, people want some closure right now. they have been through a tremendous amount of restrictions, made huge personal sacrifices, many businesses were lost. people want an apology. they were lied to about surface transmission. they were lied to that the vaccine would somehow cease all transmission of the virus in the community. they were lied to about natural immunity and there was a promise by the white house and dr. fauci never to mandate the vaccine. people do want closure to all of these issues right now. elizabeth: we hear you loud and clear. cases and hospitalizations have been dropping dramatically. they are a fraction where they were at last fall. there is that and this, doctor, a federal judge in texas ruled the fda must release thousands of pages of documents on data it used to determine that pfizer biontech covid-19 vaccine was safe. the fda, doctor, listen to this, this is not a typo.

the fda was saying we'll wait to give that to the public for 75 years, until the year 206. wait a second. we got to see the data now. your response to this sorry? >> look we've heard a lot of claims that there have been vaccine-related complications that have been concerning. they still are rare and still may not outweigh the benefits of the vaccine but people want to know. we know that cases have been dismissed when they were semilegitimate, at least there is no other explanation names. we know generally there has been a downplaying of vaccine related complications in young men where myocarditis could be high as one in 2000 young men after the second dose. people want to know all the data. the fda, the cdc basically used the approach we'll review it. we'll not share it with you. do what we say. we'll not give you the underlying data set. elizabeth: that is not informed consent, right? that is not giving people what they need to know what they are putting in their bodies. >> during a health care

emergency you need more transparency, not less. it says something the fda wanted 75 years to make all the pfizer vaccine documents public. elizabeth: it says something. we know midterm losses are looming. pelosi's grip on power eroding. 31 democrats are leaving the house. there is a push to drop mandates and restrictions federal level and the states. a new poll, doctor. your response to all of this. half of all america has been hit by health worker shortages due to botched pandemic shutdowns. seeing delayed surgeries, canceled doctors appointment. this is health harris pom. half the u.s. is seeing health worker shortages still. >> well, that's right. look, this will be a lasting problem. this is not something we fix in a year or two. it is not just the supply chain. it is also medical staff. if you think about it, hospitals are often the largest employers in most communities. we haven't treated health care

workers very well. many were fired for having anti-bodies, just anti-bodies the government didn't recognize. they had natural immunity. they were treated poorly after being treated like heroes. people see the absurdity right now the last people to remove forced masking are young children two through five, workers, servers, waiters, waitresses. people are very upset at that dynamic. elizabeth: dr. marty makary, great to have you on. come back soon. we're on top of the breaking story out of "the washington examiner," reporting based on justice department sources a plot by iran's revolutionary guard forces to assassinate former national security advisor john bolton. this as the u.s. talks oil and a nuclear deal with iran. we have got the latest developments ahead. >> we cannot trade one dictator's oil, putin's oil, for the iranian regime's oil and for the dictatorship in venezuela. that is a devil's bargain.

meet apartment 2a, 2b and 2c. 2a's monitoring his money with a simple text. like what you see abe? yes! 2b's covered with zero overdraft fees when he overdraws his account by fifty bucks or less. and 2c, well, she's not going to let a lost card get her stressed. am i right? that's right. that's because these neighbors all have chase. alerts that help check. tools that help protect. one bank that puts you in control. chase. make more of what's yours.

elizabeth: joining us now fox news contributor phil flynn. phil, we've been following this breaking news at this hour. "the washington examiner" reporting that iran was plotting the assassination of trump's former national security advisor john bolton. talk was that they were holding back on charges to get an iran nuclear deal. no public indictments yet. the white house reportedly denying all of that. we know you're not a national, this is not your bailiwick, national security, but the white house is talking more oil from iran and venezuela, not u.s. energy. can you square all of this? >> yeah. it's crazy, right? i mean, this should be a deal breaker right there. anytime iran goes after a u.s. official and threatens to kill them, how can you deal with them? you can't. this should be a deal breaker,

president of iran, he is a bad guy, he is a hard-liner and this shows you how desperate the biden administration is to bring down energy prices. you know it seems like they're so desperate to get gasoline prices back down that they will deal with venezuela, they will deal with iran, but they will deal with anybody other than the u.s. energy industry which is unbelievable, you know? yet i hear press conference today, you know, peter doocy did a great job asking tough questions of jen psaki today about their position. she tried to make it sound like they're the, administration of more oil production. come on t was our production was higher this year than it was under president trump's first year. so i'm sure their green energy supporters are going to be glad to hear that. elizabeth: so, reportedly this alleged assassination plot on john bolton was a revenge move, retaliation for taking out

general quassem soleimani under the trump white house. phil, you make an important point. we've been here before under the obama-biden white house russia invaded crimea in 2014 opening around original iran nuclear talks. the soviet union collapsed when oil plunged to $10 a barrel. it feels like we're back though to the nixon era, yom kippur war, 1973, that and spike in prices made inflation worse. your response to worse. >> you have to look at oil as a strategic asset. oil has won wars, they have lost wars. vladmir putin gets that. the biden administration does not. the obama administration does not. those that control energy basically control the global economy and you know, have a viable economy and so what the mistake that president biden has made in putin has not, all of europe has made this mistake,

the move to green energy, become more reliant on other partners, opec, russia, we can trust them. we'll reduce the greenhouse gas emissions, just depend on the kindness of our neighbors doesn't work this is why we left europe, you know, i guess you remember remember the winston churchill book, while europe was sleeping, they definitely slept through the energy crisis. they're starting to wake up. i'm afraid it might be too late. elizabeth: u.s. will still buy russian oil working on a nuclear deal with iran involving the purchase of their oil. reports that president biden is reportedly set to give iran $7 billion in frozen funds instead of treating both of them like a pariah. giving russia legitimacy on iran nuclear deal. they iran will make money. iran will buy weapons from russia and putin gets money and iran will threaten israel. >> they will be rewarded for bad behavior, right? if you look what has happened,

listen the reason why they have even, i don't think the biden administration has talked to the maduro regime in a year but they're looking for ways to replace russian oil, right, and so the reason why we have been importing so much russian oil is because we cut off venezuela, right? and we didn't finish the pipeline. if we finish the pipeline we would be getting more oil from canada. we need that heavy oil. that is why we went to russia. elizabeth: got that. phil flynn, great stuff. good to have you on. thanks for spending time with us. good to see you. we're following another controversy, far left democrats media funded they're trying to score points off the back of the war in ukraine. we'll break it down ahead on "the evening edit". ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪

♪. elizabeth: let's welcome back to the show congressman pat fallon from house armed services. great to have you on, congressman. first we want to do this. we've got the far left and the

media trying to score points over the war in ukraine at a time when women, children, men, they're being slaughtered and mass cured. we have that, also in a time of war we have a person, a pundit from msnbc saying that the constitution is quote, trash. let's watch this. watch. >> so we can show people it actually matters to have a democratic country, a country that invests in everybody. so that is how i see these two things going hand in hand together. >> wow, yes, they are literally fighting for their lives. there is extreme violent regime and putin that is after them. the bottom line is, the core and fundamental driver of that is also what is underneath. in many ways it is underneath what is happening here in the country. >> so are you arguing for throwing out the constitution? should the constitution be thrown out? what do we do? this is a living document or a

fake sacred document? >> certainly not sacred. let's start there. the congressman is kind of trash. elizabeth: congressman jayapal equating crack down what is going on with war in ukraine with voting rights in this country and far left policies. so that was also the cofunder of black lives matter was doing the same thing. then you had an msnbc pundit is saying constitution is trash. your reaction? >> liz, they're in orbit around neptune. they're not living within this country and this reality. what putin's aggression and dreams and delusions of grandeur, the murder of tens of thousands of ukrainians have absolutely nothing to do with any american domestic foreign policy and particularly in this country, 94% according to the a pew poll, 94% of americans think it is easy to vote. you can't get 94% of americans to agree the sky is blue on a nice day. i don't know what they are talking about. it is not even words, liz. it is vomit because it

absolutely makes no sense. elizabeth: the constitution is trash? >> who are these people? i mean i can't believe they get airtime on any network, even a far left one. the constitution is the most sacred and greatest document ever written by the hand of man. we're the most successful country history has ever known for 2 1/2 centuries because we are based on the constitution. by the way, many countries, scores of other countries modeled their constitutions on ours because ours works. elizabeth: so we've got that going on. then we have nancy pelosi, her grip on power is eroding. 31 house democrats are set to leave, right? so you see all of this. we're in the middle of a war and you see the fighting, politicking going on, still on networks, network tv. it is kind of demoralizing and discouraging for those who are worried about war in ukraine. >> well, yeah, i think the reason why we see 31 democrats retiring, by the way the most democrats have retired since

1992, it's a 30-year high, third most of any party since 1978, almost half a century. i think largely they can't defend certain policies from the biden administration. the border is porous, it is wide open, it is defacto open border. don't want to talk about that. leading cause of death in united states 18 to 45-year-olds is fentanyl overdoses. nobody is talking about that. 40-year high of inflation. a lot of elements want to defund police. one fellow from austin con a congressional seat for all intents and purposes without a runoff, architect of defunding the austin police department. that is awful. that is why they're jumping ship. elizabeth: smash-and-grab looters going on this weekend in california. basically covid inflation. there is a spike in homicide. murder rate last year the highest in 25 years, a quarter of a century. so, so far this year murders in the u.s., cities like new york,

chicago, philadelphia, up even more overall. more than half of adults telling "gallup poll" sisters they believe more crime is happening up from 38% in 2020. so there is sentiment out there. so you square that with all of that information, with the media, the pundits, trying to say what is going on in ukraine is the same as attacks on voting rights and the constitution is trash. your final word? >> they're just trying to distract, liz. the reason why we have a border crisis because of joe biden's weakness and his wokeness. the reason why we have 40-year high inflation, we have a supply chain crisis he can't control. the fact he injected five trillion dollars into the money supply. the crime is up because they were defunding the police this is a democratic initiative. elizabeth: got it. congressman pat follow lon, good to see you. we have more than a dozen lawmakers going to the border calling on president to tighten security right now as bad actors pour across. stay right there.

learning is not from a former acting director and fox dramatic, tom bowman, good to see her. fourteen congressmen led by representative tony gonzales at the texas border again sing the president, got to do more than just talk about border security in your state of the union, you've got to come here, he's never been there in el paso in 2008 but miles away from he's got to get back to gain the understanding of the situation. what you say? >> i agree with him. i've been on the border five or six times myself and when the president made the statement in the state of the union we need to secure the border what an insult to the american people. we have a secure border. the trump administration handed him the most secure border in my lifetime so a disgusting comment to make. he did it for political reason, no meaning behind it. liz: texas governor abbott tweeted last week in the past two weeks, 15 people illegal

border crossers from russia and another 15 from china trying to cross illegally into the country. that's happening as well during a time of war. >> and most immediate not even talking about the southern border, we have a huge national security issue at the southern border. border patrol has arrested eckstein people on the fbi screening database, half a million getaways, people who escaped apprehension. how many of them are known suspected terrace? need to pay attention, it's far more national security risk for this country are seven border and in ukraine even though ukraine is important, we have an invasion of the southern border as we speak, numbers continue to climb be one crime and terrorism home and security democrat sheila jackson lee saying no to republican hearings on what you talked about alleged terrace

crossing, suspected islamist on the fbi terror watch list released into the interior recommendations from about crossing venezuela, i's headquarters or him released on his own recognizance, at risk of covid-19 because of being overweight. >> sheila jackson lee, she doesn't believe in border security. where is kyrsten sinema or mark kelly from arizona? they are disappearing when it comes to immigration issue on their own states border. we forgot from day one when numbers started climbing, the chief of u.s. border patrol when he retired wrote a letter asking for a hearing to discuss the magnitude of the national security issues on water. he knows who they arrested an intelligent report say about terrorists trying to enter seven

border they refuse to discuss it. the democratic-controlled congress. national security issue, it affects the entire nation. it is unbelievable they continue to ignore this to protect the biden administration. liz: have you ever heard a foreign national who shows up on an fbi terror watch list, simply released on his own recognizance? the facts in the case, doesn't this suggest the administration is not following protocols with respect specked the terrace? >> they are not. ice has detention facilities, covid protocols put in place. those people are isolated from the main population, medicated and doctors and nurses are there, testing and vaccination hundreds of covid positive people in their facilities so there's no reason for ice to release because he's afraid they're going to get covid from hundreds already have covid so

it's against ice protocols in my opinion at least when i was director but things have changed under the biden administration. liz: how concerned are you with ukraine and the massacre of people in ukraine in the refugee crisis again.across borders, there is back and what's going on at our own border, how concerned are you? >> i'm very concerned because this administration has proven they didn't that people properly coming in from afghanistan the department of defense inspector general's report said that so i am concerned because now they are talking about cbp officials are being sent to start setting and processing refugee applications so they are taking cbp resources from our southern border in the middle of a crisis and second, how do you prevent that that's certainly russian counter agents try to vent themselves from the refugees to make it to the u.s., it's very

concerning and that's based on what they did in afghanistan, they failed miserably and will fail again. liz: for to steal, i'm elizabeth mcdonald, you have been watching the evening at on foxbusiness from about does it for us, thank you so much for watching, we hope you have a good evening and during as against demonic. ♪♪ kennedy: is world war iii underway according to one of the most influential hedge funders in the world? is the answer, how do we prevent nuclear holocaust or has that been putin's plan all along? russian military invasion of ukraine continues to get worse. 1.7 million refugees have fled, many more state department the situation continues to deteriorate. russians reportedly now fire roughly 700 cruise missiles into ukraine from impossible to know many civilians there have
