Test. russias war on ukraine has demonstrated our dependence on oil and gas creates not just an environmental crisis but a security crisis. it gives money and leverage to petrol states like saudi arabia and venezuela. clean energy would seem to solve both problems but clean doesnt necessarily translate into homegrown. as joe side warns in "the wall street journal," western nations can merely replace their one-time dependence on foreign oil and gas sources with a new dependence on china, and i wo...

Could give him more leverage in future negotiations. >> absolutely. its a desperate situation for those people, including a lot of children trapped in that plant complex. matt rivers, thank you so much. and joining me now with their reporting and insight, former cnn moscow bureau chief jill dougherty, and retired brigadier general steve anderson. jill, this visit by pelosi is very significant because it is back to back with another visit by senior officials, and it is coming at a time when bid...

Its fight against russia. and, you know, speaker pelosi will have obviously a very key role to play when it comes to shepherding through president bidens request for $33 billion in additional aid to ukraine, some $20 billion of which wlb will be for heavy weaponry, which is what ukraine has been asking for for a long time now. the kind of weaponry, it says it would need to take or retake a city like mariupol. this is a city we have been following very closely inside this steel plant complex, its...

Score points and leverage over the u.s. government. >> david, holden talks about the timing of this. lets be frank. the timing of it is very suspect. the russian invasion of ukraine timed very interestingly with what is happening with the united states aid. david, we are seeing statements come out from the russian government that britney is doing well and getting a lot of reading done. we like to be frank, i cannot imagine that is the actual case. you have been in that position. what is brittani...

It is anti-constitutional. jen psaki essentially admitted that their goal is to encourage censorship either directly or indirectly. so, it doesnt matter who is running it. nina jankowicz is obviously an extremist. look, if you are an american citizen and you dont want your fellow citizens to have the right to share their views whether they be wrong or right about public policy issues, who are necessarily an extremist and should not be anywhere near the leverage of government. and the biden admin...

Because how can you depend on russia for anything? russia does have leverage in terms of cutting off petroleum products to countries that are dependent on them. so theres also a problem here on russia side, russia itself cant go very long without selling its oil and gas. large part because it has nothing else to sell. a lot has been rain today about the fact that china or india maybe some other markets will step up and take russian energy supplies if russia stop selling it westward. but thats no...

For them to negotiate and it takes a long time for these negotiations to go on behind the scenes, and so, i do think its a concern, its obviously concern with brittney griner, something we talked about, that the russians are holding her for leverage. that it is a bargaining chip for them. so, i think thats a main concern you hear from loved ones all the time and certainly one that trevor reeds family had before his release today. >> matthew, you talked about yaroshenko, that he hadnt be apprehen...

Empowered trump, and frankly many of the fringe elements of the party, and i think this has been a big problem. and i like to describe what im calling the fear caucus. those guys were generally good, honorable people. they need to stand up, speak out because their failure to do so has empowered fringe elements who were never afraid to say outrageous things or incendiary things publicly. thats been the challenge, and im afraid trump has a lot of leverage and power over certainly mccarthy and many...
