'VIOLATED TERMS': Ukraine, Elon Musk SPAR over Starlink

>> TRANSLATOR: THE MOST. IMPORTANT THING TODAY IS THAT. STARLINK AND STAR SHIELD. OPERATIONS HAVE BEEN RESTORED TO. THE SPEED WE HAD BEFORE ALL THE. RESTRICTIONS. THE SPEEDS WITH ARE -- ARE NOW. WHERE THEY NEED TO BE. JACQUI: OPERATIONS RESTORED IN. UKRAINE AFTER MORE THAN A WEEK. OF RESTRICTIONS DISRUPT THEIR. FRONT-LINE LOGISTICS. ELON MUSK CLAIMING IN AN X POST.

UKRAINE'S MILITARY VIOLATED. STARLINK'S TERMS OF SERVICE AND. USED IT TO KILL PEOPLE. THAT LOOPHOLE WAS CLOSED LAST. WEEK. KYIV DENIES BREACHING THOSE. TERMS. NOR FOR MORE, LET'S BRING IN. COHOST OF "FOX & friends" AND. HOST OF "ONE NATION" AND THE. AUTHOR OF QUIT -- "UNITING THE. STATES," THE ONE AND ONLY BRIAN. KILMEADE. THANK YOU FOR GETTING UP EARLY. FOR US, BRIAN. [LAUGHTER]. APPRECIATE IT.

>> NOT EARLY FOR ME. JACQUI: THAT'S TRUE. YOU'VE GOT A WEEKEND, RIGHT? I MEAN, ALL OF US NEED ONE. I WANT TO START WITH YOU ON. UKRAINE BECAUSE YOU'RE SUCH AN. EXPERT ON THIS STUFF. THERE'S SO MUCH FINGER POINTING. AFTER UKRAINIANS RAISED ALARMS. SAYING THEY HAD UNEXPECTED. SLOWDOWNS IN THIS CRITICAL. SATELLITE SYSTEM. THE PRESIDENT DENIED ORDERING. THESE RESTRICTIONS BUT. REPORTEDLY HAD TO CALL MUSK TO. GET THE SYSTEM BACK UP AND. RUNNING. MUSK CLAIMS THAT STAR SHIELD IS. OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE U.S. MILITARY AND ANY SPEED USAGE.

SLOWDOWNS WOULD BE DETERMINED BY. THE GOVERNMENT, ULTIMATELY THE. PRESIDENT. SECRETARY RUBIO SAID THE. ADMINISTRATION CAN'T DIRECT A. PRIVATE COMPANY ON HOW TO. OPERATE, THE VICE PRESIDENT SAID. MUSK WOULDN'T HAVE ACTED WITHOUT. THE DIRECTION OF THE GOVERNMENT. A LOT OF FINGER POINTING. DO WE KNOW WHO'S CALLING THE. SHOTS HERE, AND IN YOUR MIND, IS. IT A PROBLEM THAT THAT QUESTION. EXISTS A WEEK AFTER THIS. HAPPENED IN. >> IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING THAT. ELON MUSK SAID A COUPLE OF. DIFFERENT THINGS. FIRST, HE SAID, LISTEN, I HAVE. NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

STARLINK, THAT'S CONTROLLED BY. THE PENTAGON. AND THEN WHAT HE SAID WHEN HE. POSTED THE OTHER DAY. HAVING SAID THAT, I DON'T THINK. IT'S THE OBJECTIVE OF THINK. UKRAINIAN OFFICER, THE MOST. HIGHEST RANK TO LOWEST RANK, TO. AIM FOR RUSSIAN CIVILIANS. IT JUST ISN'T. IT'S NOT THEIR OBJECTIVE. IF THEY'RE ON THE FRONT LINES. AND WEARING UNIFORMS, THEY'RE. LOSING 32,000 ON AVERAGE A. MONTH,S THAT IS REAL. THE THING THAT UKRAINE IS DOING. IS TRYING TO HURT THEM -- HIT. THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE. THEY'RE TRYING TO HIT THE WAR. MACHINE. AS HAS BEEN SAID, IF WE CAN'T.

STOP EVERY MISSILE, WE'D LIKE TO. STOP THEM WITH THE LAUNCHERS. AND IF I CAN'T STOP THE WAR. MACHINE MISSILE FOR MISSILE, I'D. LIKE TO STOP WHAT FUELS THE WAR. MACHINE. NOW, IF THERE ARE PEOPLE ON. THOSE SITES, MAINTENANCING THOSE. SITES WHETHER IT'S A POWER GRID, THAT'S NOT THE INTENT. IT'S MUCH LIKE THE ISRAELIS. THEY DON'T WANT TO KILL ONE. CIVILIAN. BUT IF YOU PUT MILITARY, IF YOU. HAVE MILITARY TARGETS WHERE. CIVILIANS ARE LOCATED, THAT'S. WHERE COLLATERAL DAMAGE HAPPENS. RIGHT NOW IT'S GOING FULL SPEED. AHEAD. I THINK THE STARLINK/STAR SHIELD.

BALANCES THE FIELD FOR UKRAINE. ANYBODY WHO SAYS THE RUSSIANS. ARE WINNING THE WAR HAS NOT. TALKED TO A MILITARY PERSON. WHO'S UNOBJECTIVE WATCHING IT. THAT MEANS YOU'RE ROOTING FOR. RUSSIA. CRIMEA LOST ITS POWER LAST. NIGHT, WHOLE PORTIONS OF RUSSIA. LOSING THEIR POWER. JACQUI, IF WE TALKED THREE YEARS. AGO, WE'D BE TALKING ABOUT HOW. RUSSIA'S MOVING FORWARD AND THE. PEOPLE OF RUSSIA, THEY HAVEN'T. LEFT YET, THE BRAIN DRAIN. WE'RE NOT FEELING THIS WAR. THERE IS NOBODY IN RUSSIA NOT. FEELING THIS WAR. THEY CAN'T GET GAS, THEY CAN'T.

YET OIL, THEY CAN'T FILL UP. THEIR CARS. THEY HAVE ALMOST NO ELECTRIC. CARS THERE, SO THEY DON'T HAVE. THAT ALTERNATIVE. WHAT THE PRESIDENT'S DOING IS. TRYING TO GIVE THE RUSSIANS AN. OFFRAMP AND, YES, THROUGH TIME, THROUGH MILITARY, FACE-SAVING. OPPORTUNITIES. LOOK FOR THIS, W WHEN THEY HAVE. THEIR UAE MEETING IN A COUPLE OF. WEEKS, SEE HOW MANY HIGH RANKING. OFFICIALS FROM RUSSIA ACTUALLY. SHOW UP. IF THEY JUST PUT THEIR LOW-LEVEL. TECHNOCRATS, THEY'RE NOT. INTERESTED. INNING -- IF SOMETHING HAS.

CHANGED, WE'RE GOING TO SEE A. HIGH RANKING PERSON ATTEND THOSE. MEETINGS. ALSO KEEP IN MIND TWO THERE WAS. A SMALL CEASEFIRE ZONE, A LOT OF. THANKS TO MELANNE RAH TRUMP --. LEE MAN YA TRUMP -- MELANIA. TRUMP, TO HELP SOME OF THE. CHILDREN THERE. AND IT MIGHT NOT SEEM LIKE A BIG. DEAL, IT IS. IT'S'S THE FIRST TIME. JACQUI: ONE MORE QUESTION ON. ELON MUSK BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT. MADE A PHONE CALL, REPORTEDLY, TO GET THE SYSTEM BACK UP AND. RUNNING. QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT MESSAGE. THAT SENDS TO PUTIN.

BUT MORE BROADLY, YOU KNOW, THE. DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN WANTING TO. INVESTIGATE ELON MUSK SINCE. DOGE, HAVE HEAD NO SECRET OF THE. FACT THAT HE'S -- HAVE MADE NO. SECRET OF THE FACT THAT HE'S AN. ENEMY TO THEM. WOULD GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF. THIS MYSTERY AS IT RELATES TO. SCARLINK BE A LEGITIMATE --. STARLINK BE A LEGITIMATE. INQUIRY, IN YOUR MIND? ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE A. DEFENSE CONTRACT WITITH THE. PENTAGON, ULTIMATELY IT'S, YOU. KNOW, TAXPAYER-FUNDED IN A WAY. TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A SECOND.

>> SO, JACQUI, I THINK IF THEY. GO AFTER ELON MUSK, WHICH THEY. MOST LIKELY WILL, SMARTEST MAN. IN AMERICA, OUR MODERN DAY DA. VINCI OR B BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, EN. MUSK -- IT WILL BE PURE. POLITICAL RETRIBUTION. THIS IS A COMMERCIAL CONTRACT. WITH A CUP. THAT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE DAY. HE'S THE MOST HIGH PROFILE, MOST. PROLIFIC INVENTER, AND HE HAS. SATELLITES IN THE SKY, MORE THAN. MAYBE MOMOST NATIONS. SO HE HAS A DEAL. THE WAY IT'S BEEN EXPLAINED TO.

ME, THE PENTAGON ULTIMATE. ULTIMATELY HAS CONTROL OF ALL. THIS, AND ELON MUSK HAS SAID. THAT IN THE PAST. SO THE PEN GONE CAN TRUMP ALL. THIS, PUN INTENDED --. PENTAGON -- AND KEEP IT UP OR. DOWN. SO I WOULD KEEP THAT IN MIND. WHAT ELON MUSK HAS DONE IS, YOU. KNOW, HE WAS THE POSTER CHILD. FOR EVERYTHING GOOD WHEN HE WAS. ELECTRIC CAR GUY AND BARACK. OBAMA WAS TAKING TOURS OF HIS. FACILITIES. AND NOW HE'S COME OUT AS. SOMEBODY WHO SEES MORE TOWARDS. THE CONSERVATIVE BENT, AND.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY COMPETING IN. TEXAS. THEY'RE TALKING LESS ABOUT. PAXTON, MORE ABOUT MUSK. SO THEY'RE USING HIM AS A. POLITICAL TOOL. THE BIGGEST -- HE'S ONE OF OUR. GREATEST ASSETS. IF WE'RE GOING TO WALK ON THE. MOON, GO TO MARS, IT'S GOING TO. BE HIM. IF WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD. WITH OUR TECHNOLOGY, ROBOTICIC, IT'S GOING TO BE HIM. AND FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO GO. AFTER HIM AND SEE NOTHING BUT A. POLITICAL PROBLEM SHOWS THEY'RE. NOT THINKING ABOUT THE COUNTRY. JACQUI: I ACTUALLY BORROWED THIS. BOOK OUT OF BRET'S OFFICE, THANK.

YOU VERY MUCH, BRET, BECAUSE I. WAS READING MINE ON THE AMTRAK. HEADING BACK DOWN FROM NEW YORK. TELL OUR AUDIENCE ABOUT THIS. BOOK, HOW'D YOU PUT IT TOGETHER, WHY SHOULD THEY READ IT? >> WELL, I TOOK TWO AND A HALF. YEARS TO DO IT, DIDN'T PUT OUT A. BOOK LAST YEAR OR THE YEAR. BEFORE. I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING FOR. 250. AND I'VE JUST BEEN ASTOUNDING. WHEN I STUDY OUR HISTORY HOW. EASILY WE WOULDN'T BE THE. COUNTRY WE ARE. REALLY SMART PEOPLE LIKE. ALEXANDER HAMILTON DISAGREEING. WITH JEFFERSON ON SHOULD WE DO.

THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE. JAMES MADISON ALMOST LOST THE. COUNTRY, THE BURNING OF. WASHINGTON. WHAT DID WE DO AFTER? WOW, THAT WAS OF A TURNING. POINT. HOW DID JOHN QUINCY ADAMS TEACH. ABRAHAM LINCOLN HOW TO BECOME AN. ABOLITIONIST AND FIGHT THE SOUTH. OVER SLAVERY IN AND THE BOSTON. MASSACRE, I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT. LAID THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE. REVOLUTION, BUT THE MORE I. STUDIED IT, I THINK THE BEST. LEARARNING THING I GOT FROM THAT. WAS WHEN JOHN ADAMS REALIZED, I. WANT A REVOLUTION. THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HEADING.

BUT THOSE BRITISH SOLDIERS THEY. SHOT EIGHT AND KILLED FIVE, THEY'RE IN JAIL. AND IS YOU CAN'T SAY IT WAS. INTENTIONAL. HE RESET THE SCENE. HE DEFENDED THE BRITISH SOLDIERS. AT A TIME WHICH THIS NOBODY ELSE. WAS, AND HE GAVE AMERICA THE. SENSE OF JUSTICE THAT WE STILL. HAVE TODAY. I THOUGHT THOSE SIX MOMENTS. FINISH IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT WAR. WE MADE A GREAT FOX NATION. SPECIAL, WENT TO ALL THE SITES. THEY REALLY BOIL IT DOWN TO. PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND OTHERS, AND. THEY'RE DOING A MILLION THTHING. WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU CRACKED.

OPEN A 1,000-PAGE HISTORY BOOK? THAT'S WHAT THE GREAT JON. MEACHAM AND ALL THESE GUYS DO. I THOUGHT IN 304 PAGES IF I GIVE. YOU 6 STORIES TO UNDERSTAND HOW. SPECIAL THIS COUNTRY IS, I THINK. PEOPLE WOULD APPRECIATE IT AND. SO FAR THEY HAVE. JACQUI: CAN CONFIRM, I. APPRECIATE IT. IT IS A GREAT, IT'S A GREAT. READ. PEOPLE SHOULD GO OUT AND GET IT. I WAS GLUED TO IT ON THE AMTRAK. DOWN, AND I LEFT IT IN MY. BACKPACK AND MEANT TO BRING IT. IN FOR THIS SEGMENT.

SO BRET LET ME BORROW IT TO HOLD. IT UP HERE. BRIAN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR. JOINING US. REALLY GREAT TO TALK TO YOU, AND. WE'LL SEE YOU ON YOUR SHOW. >> ABSOLUTELY, JACQUI. THANKS SO MUCH. AND I'LL SEE YOU SOON, AND TELL. BRIAN FITZPATRICK K.
