dog up. the dog was not injured and thully the walton county fire rescue team were so smart, brave and willing to go the extra mile for one of their canine friends. >> bill: they got mud all over them. >> dana: "the faulkner focus" is next. here she is. >> harris: breaking developments now as things are conflicting in the ukraine crisis. that country braces for war and russia claims it is pulling some troops from the border even though new video shows otherwise. the white house is warning an invasion could be imminent. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". ukraine is not buying russia's claims of pulling back its troops. the foreign minister said we'll believe it when we see it. since we have satellites maybe we can see it and it's not

happening. hours before moscow announced that pullback, a u.s. defense official said troops were actually headed closer to the border, not away from it. with video seeming to back it up. here is pentagon spokesman john kirby. >> mr. putin has added military ability along the border and continues to advance his readiness. should he choose to go down a military path here. should he choose to invade again he is doing all the things you would expect him to do to make sure he is ready for that option or options. >> harris: now the pentagon is deploying an additional high number of u.s. soldiers to eastern europe. the numbers are in the thousands. a former defense secretary warned any russian invasion will have big consequences. >> let's face it. right now there are military advisors, u.s. military

advisors in the ukraine working with the ukrainians to try to develop their capabilities. and so if something happens, there is no question that u.s. lives are also going to be at stake here. >> harris: we are covering all of the angles bringing everything in "focus" this hour. ranking member of the house armed services committee michael mccaul is in focus. trey yengst live in ukraine's capital. >> good morning. what russia says and what russia does are often two very different things. we did appear to get some promising news today from russian president putin who indicated he is open to further conversations with the united states and nato as a whole and he really confirmed what we heard earlier today from the russian defense minister. there are some russian troops, units close to the border with ukraine that will be moving back to their home bases. the united states and the ukrainians will want to confirm

that information using satellite images and ukraine's foreign minister said we have seen this before and he wanted to really ease some of the momentum that the international community picked up this morning saying he will believe it when he sees it. meanwhile ukraine's president stell zell has declared a national day of unity trom trying to bolster support from the ukrainian people and keep the spirits of his troops very high. they do have to be on high alert in these days because there is the possibility of a russian invasion. so zelensky will raise their salaries temporarily and try to get civilians in the street to promote national unity. the united states is not taking any risk at all following some other foreign policy disaster that we've seen over the past year and so they have made very clear decisions to move u.s. embassy personnel to western ukraine and get them out of the possible line of fire. all of this comes down to russian president putin who today met with the german

chancellor in moscow and discussed a potential path forward. look at it like a stove. president putin has the ability to ratchet up the heat and also turn it down if he gets the security guarantees from nato that he is looking for. >> harris: up and down, wow. good to see you, trey. thank you for the details. while ukraine's leader has called for a day of unity tomorrow, there is some confusion now about what he means when he says wednesday could be invasion day. a reporter put that question to the white house. >> there is reporting according to ukraine official that zelensky's statement today was an invasion is imminent on february 16th was sarcastic or ironic. >> i don't have a read on that. i heard the statement but i haven't actually heard it in its full context so the irony of all of it i couldn't speak to.

>> harris: congressman michael mccaul of texas top republican on the house foreign affairs committee and member of the house homeland security committee. what is the reaction to a white house or spokesperson not read in on something as critical as this? >> that's troubling. we get the classified briefings, i do. i can't get into that date specific although there has been reporting about the 16th being a potential date for invasion. we thought after the olympics, after the 20th would be more likely. i think more importantly we're seeing a disinformation campaign being played out by putin and the russians saying they are moving troops away from the border when the u.n. secretary general said that's not happening. and at the same time very importantly is the parliament or congress there passed a resolution to make the eastern

part of ukraine where the russian separatists are to declare them as independent states. this would set up what we call false flag operation where they could argue ukrainians are invading independent states therefore triggering the pretext for war for russia to invade ukraine. >> harris: interesting, that is very interesting. >> it's exactly what they are doing. >> harris: what is our intelligence like? i know that nato nations surround ukraine. that brings in our interests because we're obligated as a fellow member of nato to be with them and to help protect them. what can they help us see? >> i won't get into classified. we've seen a lot and pretty much everything. we know when they are lying to us and when they are not. this is again a disinformation campaign. they are not being genuine and

therefore i don't think these diplomatic talks are genuine either. they have been building up since last march with zero deterrents from the biden administration. now you have 130,000 troops, artillery and planes doing exercises in belarus. i think the noose is tightening on ukraine unfortunately. we are there to defend nato countries. we will not put troops in ukraine. >> harris: all right. back in 2018 i want to jog our memories together joe biden dismissed russia's military capabilities. here it is. >> president biden: look at the state of russia now. they are in enormous decline. by any definition these guys are on the tow bag onrate. they have a second rate military power. their capacity and efficacy is minimal compared to ours.

>> harris: when did they get that turned around with 130,000 troops. is he right about any of that? >> that toboggan run, right? secretary of defense gates is correct he has been wrong on every foreign policy decision in three decade and wrong on this one. to underestimate putin's desire to take over ukraine. the largest invasion since world war ii in europe. a big foreign policy failure. i would argue it started in afghanistan and putin saw weakness and waiving the sanctions on nord stream 2 to allow putin to build the pipeline to europe massive foreign policy mistakes. now putin is bold. he knows this is his time to win back the bread basket of russia. that being ukraine and control the energy in the black sea and defeating nato at the same time. >> harris: keeps you up at

night knowing that president biden is in the decision making and in afghanistan we know from testimony on capitol hill he ignored the generals what it would look like if he did his way but not a better course in pulling out of afghanistan at the end of the war. >> we minds me of chamberlain and hitler. he is projecting weakness afghanistan after. now president xi in china is watching this very closely to see can i invade taiwan and get away with this. all the while our negotiators are in vienna negotiating with the ayatollah on an iran nuclear bomb. if that doesn't keep you up at night i don't know what would. >> harris: appreciate that. look, you've just talked about some threats around the world. let's look across the world. new data on what republican senators are calling biden's leftist social agenda for our

united states troops. some six million man-hours and more than $1 million spent on woke training across the u.s. military from extremism, diversity, equity, inclusion training and climate changed indication. not saying some of that wouldn't be critically important but we have to stay ready with the military. how does it all fit in? your thoughts? >> it's dangerous. i see it on my committee all the time. it's always about i'm all for diversity and we want to protect the environment but it is a constant theme that's all they prioritize. john kerry when he goes to china and negotiates with them about green energy and provinces where they commit genocide it troubles me. we're on the brink of a potential war when putin invading europe yet xi invading the south pacific, to me these are bigger threats that we need to be prepared for not spend 6

million man-hours on week politics. they aren't making defense systems ready, rather weaker. that's the whole theme of this administration. >> harris: i appreciate your time and expertise. as this goes forward it will be just ever so curious i would imagine with the world perched to see what the president of the united states does next because it has seemed, congressman mccaul, it has seemed as though russia has been in the driver's seat. we'll see. >> 100%. thank you, harris. >> harris: let's get to this now. new new court filingings. whether anyone will be held accountable for big accusations that turned out to be false with the trump/russia scandal. clinton made her tweeting

heard that in a while. democrats and liberal media pushing the narrative that former president donald trump had deep ties to russia. he didn't. it was all a lie. hillary clinton's campaign had closey relationship with tech heads accused of infiltrating trump computers. a very powerful special counsel who says there is evidence that hillary clinton's campaign spied on trump before and during the time he was president. well, where are the reporters and the op-ed writers? i'm guessing they don't like this narrative. sources tell fox that john durham's investigation into the origins of the russia probe is accelerating. more people are cooperating and coming before the grand jury than were previously reported after the bombshell court filing alleging the clinton campaign paid a tech company to infiltrate computer servers at the trump tower in new york and

later when trump was president in the white house. today's "new york post" dropping the hammer with this headline. hillary the spy. and the "wall street journal" editorial board saying trump really was spied on. former deputy national security advisor k.t. mcfarland asks some important questions in a new op-ed. you have to read it. pay attention. we've highlighted the good parts. did the intelligence community know the clinton campaign was hacking into trump's campaign, presidential -- and offices? if so, did they look the other way or did they actually participate in the effort to spy on donald trump? if the intelligence community knew nothing about it, why not? i told you they were good. joe concha, fox news contributor and media and politics columnist for the hill. those are important questions. >> that's the thing. questions. we should be asking questions

here because we don't have a lot of answers right now outside of what mr. durham has provided us. >> harris: this is a trove. her twitter account, he has provided us with some things that are now not conjecture. >> i heard a journalist yesterday you don't need a foia. if you want to teach a journalism class. remove the names and noise. ask two questions and did a tech executive exploit his access to computer data at the white house to find derogatory information on the sitting president at the time? the answer is yes. this is why this should be a huge story that concerns every american. democrat, republican, independent. now we are talking about a grave national security issue. if it can happen to trump it can happen to biden and next guy or girl as well. two, does the person running

this investigation, john durham, does he have bipartisan credibility? yes. you will never confuse him with adam schiff in this situation. this should be the lead story on every top of rundown in every newspaper and we aren't seeing it, harris. >> harris: let's go back to the intel community for a second. if they were complicit in any way, that is national security implications as you said. >> indeed. >> harris: the fact that you hack something -- not hack, infiltrate servers. there is a huge difference. they were able to get to specific information. they weren't willy-nilly going through the forest. they were building a narrative allegedly. they are looking for something specific and if that happened in the intel community knew about it, what does it tell you? >> let's look at who was running the intelligence community at the time if we want to get an idea if there was bias in terms of using the intelligence community and weaponizing it against a particular candidate or president. who was running the c.i.a. john brennan.

where is he now? msnbc. clapper was head of din and he is at cnn and comey has done two books. they've become these big media stars and oneening in common. they go on television to talk about how horrible donald trump was. was their bias by all these top organization in terms of intelligence the trove and out there? watch their commentary and tell me if they were apolitical and running things on the up and up. don't think so. >> harris: many liberal media outlets that relentlessly pushed the russia collusion story have ignored durham's filings. "the new york times" "washington post", nbc and cbs passed completely. doug collins said they are trying to avoid the truth. >> the media is trying to forget this episode ever happen

because they were so wrong and bought the line so badly. again, going back whenever anybody would say we would bring it up they kept denying it. this didn't happen. the truth of the matter is every time john durham puts something out it proves those of us in congress and president trump fighting to expose this that we were right. >> harris: that's what the president has been saying. the former president has been saying he was right about this. donald trump knew he was being spied on so he said and i said yesterday justifiably furious because again the headline is this is being looked at as a possibility strongly with evidence and no one really covers it except for fox. >> we have a media that reflexively dismisses any claim made by donald trump. in this case he said it on 60 minutes on national television. lesley stahl you should be covering the story. she said it can't be verified. it stays unverified if there is no curiosity.

tom cotton. covid could have come from a lab in wuhan. crack pot conspiracy theorist. hunter biden's laptop. russian disinformation. the big claims get dismissed before anybody explores if they are true or not. >> harris: what makes me scratch my head this media, many of them have proven they love the russia topic. why don't they like this russia topic? >> very good point. because of who the target now is. it's not donald trump, it is hillary clinton, right? and look, i'll leave you with this stat. 1976 gallup. 3 in 4 americans, 72% trusted the media, okay? then you look at 2019 axios, 3 in 4 now believe the media purposely reports stories they know to be fake or false. we went from 3/4s trusting the media not just making mistakes it's an intentional push of narratives that the people reporting on them know aren't true but they are activists,

not journalists. still some good journalists but more and more we're seeing a pattern, aren't we? >> harris: you came with a lot of facts and figures and i appreciate it so much. gets us to pull back. >> thank you. compliments will give you anywhere. >> harris: students get for their $80,000 education. tulane celebrating valentine's day with more than 20 sex-themed events throughout the week. the fun including genital diversity gallery. wheel of -- the opening event featuring sex toys and condom kits and we can't -- we can't even tell you how much of this we didn't get into. joe concha. >> wow. i was absorbing that. the yoga thing i've

participated in before but not for that reason. i don't know where to go with this. what can you say? this is why we're 25th in the world in education, right? and that means reading, writing, and science. and guess who is number one? china, right? ireland is 11. australia is 21 in the world. and we're 25th because we aren't concentrating on the basic blocking and tackling to make my kids more competitive when they get out in the world. if it's not about race it is about sex. how about math, reading, teach my kids the things they need to be successful. >> harris: we're not allowed to talk about mask mandates for young people. that's completely off the table. but this can be on the table. i know we're talking about a whole mix of age groups here but if they are younger than 18 they're our children. how are you getting them ready? joe concha. thank you for your look at that and so much more.

well, love is in the air, or is it? a federal law enforcement agency is asking people to get revenge on their exs. the bizarre valentine's day post. and this. >> these emergencies acts weren't even invoked after 9/11 or when there was a terrorist attack on canada's parliament itself. it is deeming these truckers to be terrorists. >> harris: canada's prime minister invoking the emergencies act for the first time ever. using emergency powers to crack down on freedom convoys protesting covid restrictions. they are against the mandates, not the vaccines. we want to get that straight. some calling it a slippery slope into government overreach. do you think? raymond arroyo is in "focus" next. is there anything like that that could happen here in america? raymond and i will get into it.

will be time limited, geographicly targeted. we are not limiting people's freedom of speech. we are not limiting freedom of peaceful assembly. we are reinforcing the principles, values, and institutions that keep all canadians -- >> harris: like the biggest fact check sticker ever. when he says they aren't limiting people's free speech there is an injunction. the truckers can't even honk their horns without breaking the law in canada in all of this. ridiculous. canada's prime minister justin trudeau is invoking the country's emergencies act for the very first time in its history. the goal is to go after the freedom convoy demonstrators for blocking a major route of trade between canada and the united states. the convoy members are protesting covid vaccine mandates and the canadian civil rights association is pushing back on the whole decision.

they tweeted this. emergency legislation should not be normalized. it threatens our democracy and civil liberties. alexis is live in ottawa. >> not much has changed since the prime minister made that announcement last night. these truckers are not budging. the government in canada has tried everything they can think of to move out the convoy an injunctions to stop them from honking. that hasn't happening. now they try the emergencies act to follow the money to stop this convoy. >> we cannot and will not allow illegal and dangerous activities to continue. the emergencies act will also allow the government to make sure essential services are rendered. >> this is what that emergencies act does. the next 30 days the order will authorize banks to freeze and suspend any account suspected

of supporting the blockade only used for terrorism and money laundering. people who donated to the effort are on edge because they think they could lose access to their accounts and gives federal police more powers to enforce the laws. that convoy not backing down. >> and i know for me and my friends that i spend time with we'll leave when the mandates are removed and we are given our freedoms back and assurances that they will never be taken away again not when the next wave comes through or the next month that they will never be taken away like that again and assurances that that doesn't happen again. >> the government has said repeatedly this will be a targeted effort here in the capital of ottawa and the border crossings which they really cracked down on recently. look here on your screen. this is what was confiscated at a border in alberta. guns, ammo, body armor and

machete taken away. 13 people arrested as investigators crack down on the border crossings. the truckers aren't moving but it comes down to following the money here. a lot of people are keeping a close eye on that. >> harris: interesting to see the truckers honking horns at the prime minister now flouting that injunction. alexis, thank you very much. canada's freedom convoy having a global impact. a u.s. version called the people's convoy is now preparing for a trip across america beginning in california just about a week from today. and the co-founder says there are now convoys coming from every direction. raymond arroyo, fox news contributor. let's start with justin trudeau for just this one simple reason. i'm curious. is he just the biggest phony or does he actually believe being a dictator goes along with democracy? the reason i say that is because those types of decisions are things that could

or could not happen in this country and that would definitely slide us in the wrong direction being the republic they are. >> watching that clip you played earlier reminded me of the richard iii line smiling, smiling and still a villain. he has that smooth approach but what he is talking about is exactly disenfranchising not only these truckers but any protest in canada that he disagrees with and deems a public nuisance. if you read the emergency order harris it says these illegal blockades, his term, disrupt the lives of canadians and it is hurting workers who rely on these jobs to feed their families. well, this is why there is a protest because the truckers feel these vaccine mandates hurt their lives and hurt their ability to provide for their families. and the other part of this is if the vaccines actually worked and were not leaky vaccines, harris, one might be able to make the argument that a guy

alone in his cab needs multiple vaccines but the fact that the vaccines are not yet perfected and the guy is alone in his cab, this would seem to be an argument for the government to back off and let these guys move the freight they need to move. >> harris: the truckers are actually really smart about this one. 90% in the union are already vaccinated. they know and always knew the vaccines weren't going to be perfect. there is no such thing. we still get measles every year. no perfect vaccine. when they are taking an exception to is look, they may have made the choice to get vaccinated but it was their choice. by the way, america seems to have gotten the party started on this side of the border. so again what is the danger of us looking like them in terms of what the prime minister did? >> one would hope that local governments, state governments as we saw during the two years of the covid lockdowns that

they will take exception to what is coming from the federal level. in canada it is more of a mixed bag particularly when the prime minister drops these federal emergency orders. but harris, the thing we need to keep in perspective and a good thing to remember and look at. these protests in canada they keep talking about the vaccine mandate being the sours of the trucker's rage. many protestors have friends there and they're upset the two years of lockdowns and the damage it has exacted on their children's education. this is a big protest against government restricting the freedom and i know they don't like the word but the liberty of the people in canada and that bleeds across the border to us as well. the thing here governors protected the united states in many, many cases. >> harris: and when they don't protect those rights. when at school board meetings parents want to go against whatever it is that are some of the things on your list or critical race theory that they

deem they want to fight against, then the d.o.j. calls the f.b.i. to call those parents out through the terrorism unit of the f.b.i., i am legitimately concerned. i believe that we would see something like what prime minister of canada was talking about in this country and that's not democracy. >> because it starts with a false narrative. he is calling these truckers racists and equating them with terrorists. we hear that same lingo being invoked here whether it's a school board meeting or a group of people protesting election require reg lair tease. it doesn't mean they're terrorists or racists. when you start to classify people that way it falls into the federal statutes and it gets invoked. once the federal government comes after you in a very --

it's a danger. a constant danger. >> harris: cheering and memorable for the way you put it. thank you. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez extreme hot take she has on the future of democracy in our country. so we'll talk about democracy but now she will pipe in. buckle up for what she is talking about. and this. >> the absolute lowest amount of danger in the entire country from covid are kids. yet we are making them the last people to be able to take their masks off. it is nonsensical. >> harris: critics going after democratic leaders for ditching indoor mask mandates, good to them, but keeping them in place for children. keeping the kids muzzled and the political fallout could be huge for dems. ♪♪♪

>> harris: republicans ramping up their push to end masking in schools. senator john thune and steve

call east argue the federal government shouldn't be masking toddlers in particular and several senate republicans are threatening to hold up a vote to fund the government unless they get a vote on stripping money which goes to those mask mandates. it comes washington, d.c. and california lift indoor mask mandates while opting to keep kids masked up in schools. nine blue states have school mask mandates. mitch mcconnell calling it like he sees it. >> the only science that's changed in the last two weeks is the political science. americans who watch the super ball saw rich celebrities having a grand time with hardly a mask in sight. but under democrats' policies first graders who watch that big maskless party last night had to wake up this morning and

cover their own faces in order to go to school. >> harris: a resurfaced picture of a california teachers union leader sparking outrage today. he is seen without a mask there at the nfc championship game. one user tweeted he is done with covid but his union wants kids masked. power panel now. former trump campaign advise re board member and crystal knight from emerge tennessee. great to have you on the power panel today. jason, i'll start with you and what you think of the idea of blue state leaders saying okay, everybody. drop the mask mandates even though the science supports that kids don't get it like we would the kids have to continue to wear their masks. >> yeah, it is really awful.

covid poses very little risk to children. they have a 99.997% survival rate under the age of 18. 80 percent of children in the country have had covid and have natural immunity. if you look at the data there is no discernible correlation between mask mandates and better outcomes for children. the masks don't work. it has failed utterly and completely. the thing i want to talk about is we can't go back to masking if covid rates come back up. covid isn't going away. the masks have been a failure and caused harm to our children emotionally, physically and mentally. so i really think it's important for us to take the masks off the children. it is really a moral travesty. >> harris: i'm curious and we have to be quick with the answer. were there many dissenters in the environment and people fighting to keep masks on kids? >> i thought there would be.

i will tell you i presented some science and data to the board and they unanimously lifted the mask mandates for children and made it optional because the data just supports that position. i think in the mid-terms that are coming up democrats really need to reflect on this issue because there are a lot of very upset mothers out there. >> harris: interesting talking about the difference you were able to make at a school board meeting. ronna mcdonall says dems lifting mandates is all political. democrats covid mask hypocrisy shows contempt for average americans and they will pay in november. crystal, your reaction to that. >> i think if the data is changing and the mask mandates have to change. ultimately the nine blue states you are talking about it is up to the governors of those states and up to the school superintendentss in those respective districts for them to make those independent

determinations about what is in the best interest of children and what is in the best interest of citizens in their respective cities and states. >> harris: who role do you think parents play in all of that? >> i think parents, they have a choice. you just heard what jason stated at the school board meeting. ultimately it goes back to what is allowable and not allowable inside of the school district. if parents disagree with the mask mandate they have the option to keep their child home and homeschool. if the school is stating they need a mandate in place they have to comply. >> harris: you know what you did say? you didn't look at what happened in virginia. parents have a huge say in this. we always have as parents, right? what you didn't say is they have every right to advocate for their kids. the only answer isn't keeping your child at home. look at the state of arizona. take the state dollars and hand them to a parent and go to another school district. the way unions and school boards have it is they want it

both ways. keep the cash and give you new options but to stay home. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez raised the notion in an interview that democracy will be dead in 10 years when pressed on that she answered this way. >> i think there is a very real risk that we will not. i think what we risk is having a government that perhaps postures as a democracy and may try to pretend it is and isn't. we're never beyond hope. we've seen the opening silos of this. you have, you know, white nationalist reactionary politics starting to grow into a critical mass. i think we will return to jim crow. i think that's what we risk. >> is that what you would say, crystal? >> i think what she is stating there is an erosion of democracy happening. we saw it with january 6 and

see it with the gerrymandering districts happening across the country and voting rights. many states are popping up new voting rights laws limiting american's access to the ballot and that's an erosion of democracy. >> harris: quickly we have a little breaking news. jason, i want to let you finish. >> harris, when you have a constitutional republic and you have an administration taking illegal immigrants in the middle of the night that's a threat to our democracy and constitutional republic not voter i.d. laws. >> harris: curious why aoc thinks the world will end in 10 to 12 years by democracy or by climate change. it is her focus this doom and gloom. good to see you both. fox news alert. breaking news. ottawa, canada's police chief has resigned amid criticism of
