JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): The president needs to explain what he means when he says, "The Russians will make gains on the battlefield." You know what that really means? It means cluster bombs are going off in a hotel. That's what that means. And he has to spell it out for the American people.
You're going to get to a point in a week or three weeks, where they're going to have the capital surrounded and they're going to starve people out. It is going to be a humanitarian catastrophe. And because everybody has an iPhone, we're all going to be able to see it. We're going to be able to see war crimes, atrocities fed out on television and on our phones on real time.
There is going to be a ton of pressure on the president and this administration and on the Europeans to do more than they're doing. I understand you don't want to put troops on the ground, but are we going to sit back and watch as people's limbs are getting blown off, as they circle the city and shell it? Are we really prepared to do that? And has Biden grappled with that coming? He can't come out and say, as we all watch this in the next couple weeks, you know, well, we sanctioned a bunch of oligarchs and we grounded their private jet. That is not going to fly. So, I don't know if he's thought that far ahead or not, because that is coming.
