"we have credible information with lists of identified ukrainians to be killed or sent to camps following a military occupation." the situation escalates, president biden canceled presidents endemic present day's trip to delaware. vice president kamala harris met with the president zelensky who criticize the biden administration for holding back sanctions against russia until after innovation takes place. here is the vice president. >> we are talking about the real possibility of war in europe. the purpose of the sanctions has always been and continues to be deterrence. >> now, russia's claiming they still do not plan to invade ukraine. the u.s. embassy in moscow is warning americans of possible attacks and for any there to be ready to flee, ashley, carley. >> ashley: thanks, alex and senator ted cruz to take on president biden and the left handling of the crisis.

then why not issue though sanctions now? it is easy to understand we are coming from on that front. the biden administration's perspective is sanctions the threat of sanctions to be used as a deterrent but it doesn't seem to be detouring biden at all and the administration fearful if they pose sanctions that will be used as a reason to invade ukraine. but if you believe in the idea of peace or strength, you agree with that notion from the administration. >> carley: not only that but kamala harris was a munich at security conference this weekend. she kept talking about the sanctions over and over. she spoke a couple of times, which i feel is rare for kamala harris to take questions from reporters. but emily was saying, the world leaders can't get on a grants with the sanctions. i think that is part of the problem that they have to go back to the drawing board and try to figure out what sanctions to do. but you mentioned, zelinski and

he's frustrated because when kamala harris said absolutely this would deter putin if we put sanctions on him, then why not go ahead and do it? i think is exact quote was "what are you waiting for? ">> they ran mpr by former obama administration official and his perspective actually is at this point, sanctions in and of itself are not going to work. but putin doesn't care about sanctions but hit him where it hurts which would be the fact that putin cares about controlling the message within russia. so if the u.s. starts dropping intel about kremlin corruption in the country, call the store within russia that could be politically damaging for putin. no imitation of the summits, no high-level meetings, embarrassed putin and nato nations to agree on that front. i think it is an interesting perspective, may be due both appear at the combination of both, but clearly, the

precipice, it feels like we are on the precipice of something big. >> ashley: right, people keep saying what will happen today or tomorrow? it is a waiting game at this point. obviously no one knows what putin and the information he is giving us. lloyd austin said to come i don't think he is bluffing. he has positioned himself where it is looking to be that way. but we need to get to this. another fox news alert, being slammed as a communist dictator in the please clear out the last of the freedom convoy. the police making 191 arrest and towing 57 vehicles at the capitol. one woman being trampled by officers on horseback during a protest in washington authorities prepare for similar convoy demonstration coming to d.c. this week. ahead of the union. the roads are being blocked and a fence put up around the capitol. later this morning, we will be joined by canadian trucker who

i don't believe president biden is concerned with the crime. i think he is concerned with the issue of crime. we should think about americans, not politics when we think about safety. >> ashley: senator scott with george floyd's death of negotiation stalling over democrat stance on defunding the police. embattled black lives matter patrisse cullors with a keynote address this week to a student group pushing to defund the police of the student led group in l.a. wants to further strip funding from campus police suggesting the effort will make lives better for black students and the district peer of the los angeles school district has cut a third of its officers. he stepped down after she bought four homes totaling more than $3 million. because the liberal mayor of san francisco said progressive school board members were called last week "failed our children." listen. it was really about the frustration of the board of

education doing their fundamental job. and that is to make sure that our children are getting educated, that they get back in the classroom, and that did not occur. we failed their children and parents were upset. the decision to recall school board members was a result of that. speak with the voters to recall three board members after two years of shifting the policies, but some have declared racism and white supremacy were behind the recall. and on since president's day, far left efforts of 2019 project claimed americans have no reason to honor george washington, "the new york post" says the challenger is a role model for all of the editorial board said "virtue, self-control, moderation, stability, strength, physical morals become the most widely admired presidents first and the 13 colonies then in the new nation. the post goes on to say washington created two american

institutions, first the army which is commanded from 1775 to 1783 and second to u.s. government, of course presiding over the first year of 1789 to 1797. tomorrow marks washington's 280th birthday. and today is presidents' day and as we honor the greatest leaders in the history, fox news owes will reflect on the greatest leaders and how they would fare in these bipartisan times. >> the day we set aside to honor presidents perhaps it's wise to ask us why the expectations we have four presidents is reasonable. if we are an exceptional country, shouldn't we have exceptional leaders? there is a difference between being a president and being a leader. maybe the process, the political environment, the media have made it such that the real leaders do not want this job. so we are left with those who cover the title i'll we as a

nation are left to covet real leaders. i don't even know george washington, thomas jefferson ronald reagan would seek the job today. i do know this great people should have great leaders. if those great leaders are not even running, then we should ask why not? >> you make such a good point there. when you think about how president biden is the 46 president and 45 other men have only held that position. it really drives the point home how young our country really is. over the past 250 years, we have grown to be the greatest nation in the world. america is the greatest experiment of all time. give people freedom, liberty's to speak out and criticize the government when they see an injustice. in america has become the strongest nation, so strong that we are propping up other countries as a result. we thank all the presidents that have come before this time that

have honored those ideals. i fear that we have become so successful, that we are forgetting how important liberty is today. but hopefully, people across the country will remember that. think about what is going on in canada with the freedom convoy and killing those ideas and killing the people protest. just oppose the ideals that we hold so strongly. it really does drive home the point how great this country is. >> i think it is important to remember and reflect on all the presidents whether you like them and their policies are not because they have shaped the united states and what it is today. and now, like trey gowdy said of me wonders if washington would even consider running. that brings me to another point. i mean, one day more than and the people that we are giving the option for voting for the only option? i would rather have a leader in someone more concerned about the

economy within this popularity vote. >> no doubt. when you think about how shallow the benches on the democrat party where we are turning to a live clinton has possibly the only option commit drives the point home that there are people that do want to step up to the plate and become the leader of this great country but unfortunately, things have become so toxic, but hopefully there will be a turnaround in that. now that a war between russia and ukraine -- the administration, the next guest is formal marine and already evacuated his wife and children. here is here america live with his first account. >> did you see this? >> time is up. >> you can't deal with the truth. >> yocum of virginia school board member being called out on her mask hypocrisy.

that russian commanders have been given the orders to invade ukraine. so with that in mind, what is the mood? in kiev right now? how concerned are the people on the ground right there and the russian invasion? >> thank you for having me, early. last week in spite of all the u.s. reports of u.s. and patient aids, human intelligence about mortars so it's not hard to be a little skeptical maybe it's not correct but in any case, people are getting more nervous, myself included, but the moves made with the technical groups and some actions they have made and the region. >> what are you hearing on the ground what a full station full scale invasion would look like? >> this massive event, other than russian before and key of

the last ten years come i don't believe that is the case. but you know, russia and kiev is historically the roots of the region started in kiev. so the idea they would destroy the city come i don't believe that personally from any kind of conflict and conflict starts with things to get out of control. that is why i move my family to the west of ukraine. >> you evacuated your wife, stepdaughter and daughter out of kiev, but they are still in a safer location. you decided to stay behind, but why is that? >> there is a lot of things here, my clients rely on me to be here and so until it gets that bad where i have to get out, i have to stay here and employees rely on me also. they need to make money and feed their families. so i didn't feel like the threat level was high by me personally getting out.

i wanted to make sure my family was close enough to the european borders just in case. if i have to leave, it would be devastating. but at this point, i do not believe it is a concern. >> there is this back and forth between ukraine and the west. president zelensky wants the united states to impose sanctions now. that does not appear with the biden administration is going to do. take a look at this back and forth over the weekend. take a watkech a watch. >> you are telling me 100% that in a couple of days, what are you waiting for? apply sanctions today. >> the tanks are rolling and the planes and the air. we will try everything we possibly can to get president putin to reverse the situation he has made. >> and with volodymyr zelensky, antony blinken, what do you make of the u.s. strategy on the front? >> went to say i don't see much of a strategy. just surprising because there's been this conflict for eight

years with russia and things like that. so a plan in case he got more tense, the troops on the border. but it seems a very mixed messaging and we stand with ukraine one day and the next day pulling out the whole embassy to the west. the people understand but officially getting everybody out, moving embassy to the city where my family is and other embassies and companies and to russia itself is saying the u.s. stance with ukraine but not really. not even bring sanctions like they said. 100% guaranteed, no cheating on the table, but they are not doing it. so not much credibility from my point of view and a strategy. >> i think a lot of people can understand where you're coming with that. the biden administration's perspective the threat of sanctions should be use as a deterrence but if they impose that now it would be a reason

for putin to invade. but you are sagging, you see it different. >> yeah, for sure. some sanctions to give them a taste of what is coming. and all of the sanctions, everything right away so i don't really understand the reasoning behind that. >> you have to wonder what vladimir putin's and game is. he said that he wants written assurances that ukraine will never be admitted to nato. so that will never happen. how do you see this playing out? >> like i said before, i lived in russia. talking to them as well. nobody i know wants to have and they think it would be an act of a mad man. so vladimir putin i'm i think at the end of the day, towards the people to really know what they are going to do and everyone else, just waiting like everyone. >> waiting, waited on bated breath i'm sure it feels like that in ukraine and here as

make crime and illegal can. voters told about criminal justice but it is worse than that. 2014 they call this the state neighborhood when in fact, what happened was the most predictable thing in the world. we remove the consequence for stealing and what do you know, it caused more stealing. under prop 47, you can go into a store and still $950 worth of merchandise and cannot be a charge of felony. not even a slap on the wrist. what they will do, and i'm not making this up, they will go in with calculators, add up how much stuff they are stealing and as long as under $950 they will waive to the security camera on the way out because nothing will happen to them. they go to the next door and do the same thing and these graduate to higher offenses which coordinate with unbelievable smash and grab and go out in the open and ransacked the stores. >> ashley: i want to pull up this poll the majority of people in california they want to see

deserve a fair playing field and these girls are not getting that. i started speaking up when i was faced with the situation in 2018. i have not -- even though i was told to be quiet about it. it turns out my daughter ended up running the first high school race also against the biological male identifying as female. my take on it is we predicted this would happen. this is the end of female sports and that is not an exaggeration. we are witnessing it right now. >> i was going to ask you about the transparency competing on the high school level like your mom said. you competed against a biological male and came in second place. what was that experience like for you? >> my first ever high school track meet my wound up running the race 400 meters, and i had to race against a male body athlete. i feel like incredibly distressed, crying on the field because they knew they would be displaced by the athlete. i came in second during my race,

situation for them to be in so i understand, however, i would just encourage all females and everyone who is passionate about this issue to think of that word "brave" and future generation of girls. another gold medal is not worth it to me as much as standing up for my daughter and everyone else's daughter. >> margaret, you are in high school speaking out when i'm sure some people your age would not out of fear. like we were just talking about, how has your message been received among your other classmates? >> i think my peers have been supportive of me because they know how hard i work and how determined i am. i'm a junior in high school and i hope to run track in college but if this continues, i can be denied scholarships and college. >> you have to wonder what the solution is because people who support lia thomas you feel bad about singling her out because she has one person.
