and unified position that we would all, not just prefer, we desire, we believe. it is in the best interest of all that there is a diplomatic end. >> was anyone impressed by kamala harris in munich? she diffused the tension. that's it for us tonight. >> todd: we are expecting an announcement from the white house at any moment now as president biden readies brand-new sanctions on russia. two break-away regions of ukraine that the kremlin recognizes as independent of its adversary. it does feel like we have reach a new point in this crisis, we'll get to that right now. we are watching "fox and friends first." i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. fox team coverage on this breaking news. griff jenkins has more, first we

turn to steve harrigan. steve. >> steve: polish defense minister confirmed russians forces are inside eastern ukraine, russian tanks and motorized vehicles, armored vehicles posted on russians social media confirm they are in the two regions vladamir putin recognized as independent yesterday. it is not clear if this is part of a larger attack still to come. president putin dpaf a history lesson yesterday, an hour-long one on russia state television saying ukraine was not a real country, it was a creation of communist russia. he says the big evaluate mistake is allowing the ussr to -- >> this is some kind of madness.

>> steve: as far as ukraine's president zelenskyy goes, there are concerns for his personal safety. the russians have a list targeting ukrainian politicians to capture them or kill them. russia denies this list. president zelenskyy says ukraine will defend itself. >> weer our land, we are not afraid of anyone, we don't owe anything to anyone. we are confident in this. it is not february 2014, but february 2022. >> the u.s. embassy in ukraine to to move to get out of the path of a possible russians invasion and had to move again out of the country entirely to poland. back to you. >> todd: steve, thank you. griff jenkins is live in washington ark waiting new sanctions from the white house.

>> griff: last night u.s. ambassador to the un linda thomas greenfield denouncing president putin's actions. watch. >> he calls them peace keepers, this is nonsense, we know what they are, it is attack on ukraine's status as un member state, it violates basic principle of international law and defys our charter. >> griff: across the tiktok, british prime minister johnson echoing greenfield's condemnation. >> russia is recognizing the breakaway republics of against and this is plainly in breach of international law, flagrant violation of integrity of ukraine. >> griff: this as president biden imposes sanctions on the two straightist region putin

denied russia chance to profit from international law. we are continuing to closely consult with allys and partners, including ukraine, on next steps. the sanctions stop short of direct penalty on russia. white house press secretary jen psaki says these orders are separate and in addition to swift measures we've been prepare nothing coordination with allys and partners should russia further invade by holding calls with ukraine president zelenskyy and french president emmanuel macron and german chancellor sholz. gop ranking member on senate foreign committee jim resch call og biden to take action right now, implement harsh sanctions, that cannot be ignored, it will

deter more aggressive behavior, follow our lead, the world is watching. we will see what sanctions come out of the white house, meanwhile russia's response, their un ambassador including the u.s. as egging ukraine toward war. >> todd: the standoff rattles the market, listen. >> who will pay the price, hard-working americans, this energy and gas price, raising prices, we'll continue to see that go out, that squeeze will be happening across the country and around the world. russia is major exporter of wheat, cost will increase around food and russia is exporter of nickel, what they should be saying, not we will incur cost, they should be looking at the american peep and he will saying, you know what, you are going to pay the price for this

and they have not once justified to the american people how their policies and actions actually serve our best interest. >> carley: in the lead-up to the tension, the conversation was like, there is something going on in eastern europe, putin is acting like a strong man, another day that ends in y. a few days ago, the vice president let the other shoe drop and admitted this situation in russia and ukraine could impact gas prices at home, especially because over the past year issue the u.s. increased russians oil and gas imports, doubled them. not only are we in a situation where we're are now energy-dependent, we're propping up putin and russia, the russians economy because of that as result, which is why this tweet is going viral this morning that president biden

posted in 2020, did not age well, vladamir putin does not want me to be president, because i'm the only person in this field who has ever gone toe to toe with him. didn't look like he's going toe on toe. >> todd: you might thapt back, joe issue putin did nothing like this during the trump administration. he did something similar in crimea during the obama era. gabbard, focus is on gas, energy in europe and impact on prices in the u.s. let us not forget, look at the 401(k) this morning, it is not a good look, it has not done well during the first month and a half of 2020 not all due to inflation. inflation increases profit at companies due in large part to

the threat whaf we're seeing overseas and impact it could have. that is why you should care, the human rights atrocities, let's take a step back, why are we in this position in the first place? vladamir putin responds to strength and shows passiveness. trey gowdy summarizes this. take a listen. >> when your enemies -- motivation is. i am dumbfounded, the other folks sanctions have been part of ukraine. ukraine has been sanctioned as of tonight, but not russia. i need somebody to explain why we're not using sanctions to deter conduct we don't want to have. >> todd: that is the point, carley, why wait until the

invasion happens, why roll out sanctions we do on pieces of ukraine. what we need are real sanctions, world-wide sanctions, put them on an island. >> carley: the white house says more sanctions will come down today. the reason the biden administration is not throwing the book at putin right now, they view the russians invasion of ukraine start nothing 2014, this area that vladamir putin declared independent yesterday has been occupied by russians backed separatists sinsz that time. they don't feel this is a new step, this is minor incursion and putin was betting on that and the fact this would break up nato and you are starting to see that might happen because of this oil and gas issue. italy, 80% of their oil and gas comes from they import it, a lot

has to do with russianole and gas and germany is dependent on russia. these are things vladamir putin was counting on not making sanctions as severe as had been threatening. >> todd: what is putin's relying on? biden's weakness he saw in afghanistan and the nord stream 2 lack of leverage that biden put himself in, the big issue here. >> carley: it is clear vladamir putin and xi jinping want a new order and chipping away at ukraine is part of that. biden may have opened the door to this by weakness on afghanistan, this has been putin's plan for a very, very long time. this is a much bigger issue than just president biden and i think that is because there is a lot of misplaced anger in the united states, americans angry at

america. as those countries reach out trying to be stronger our country seems to be shrinking ark way to weakness and playing a long game and it is scary. turn to -- right no conservative mp shedding light on trudea air-tight grip on freedom convoy supporters. tweeting about a single mother on minimum wage whose bank account was frozen after she donated $50 to the convoy. streets of ottawa are clear, the prime minister emergency power. washington, d.c. trucker revealed plans to clog the capitol beltway this week. truckers plan on clogging the beltway as police have trouble finding tow truck companies to help out. tucker carlson what is happening in canada is future of the united states. >> you got to feel bad for the

month. l.a. times uncovering tubbs phone conversations, he said, i lucked out, it is not an adult case, it is juvenile case ore i would be looking at life. i was young and hungry for some meat. the victim was 10 years old, releasing this statement in response saying, "not only do vito live with that awful memory for the rest of my life, i'm given no true justice as to what happened to me. if tubbs were tried as an adult, she would face five criminal charges and longer term. sentenced to two years in november. >> carley: something wrong in this country and this is an example. thank you. former arkansas governor mike huckabee going off on woke officials running our cities. >> i'm just angry, angry for all the kid necessary this country being attacked by crazy people like this and even crazier people running the prosecutors office and the governor's office

and i hope people wake up and realize you got to vote these people out. got to get rid of them or we lose the country. >> todd: the media accountability project will raise money for legal challenges against -- defamed him during his trial. >> i don't want to see anybody else go through what i went through, i want to hold them accountable. >> right honorable gentleman and his legal team are looking at politicians, athletes, celebrity is and whoopi goldberg, i thought that made me laugh, and whoopi goldberg. >> carley: bob beckel has died, he was a contributor and rejoined the network in 2011 as

in action the eastern provinces, they have absorbed a lot for seven years. they know more is coming, i believe you, carley, said things before the break and he is telling what you he's going to do and everybody understands it, especially the people in eastern europe. there is nothing mysterious about his intent and i guess people want to believe he's going to do something else and have you military analyst, you can ask them if sanctions will work, ask them to keep doing exactly what you think he's doing and somehow or other people want to read divergent path or something. i mean that is the way i look at it and i'm not a military expert or anything else. i did not know anything about

the war in the east or anything else until i started coming here three years ago and taking two or three weeks of russians classes and then i'm like, everything that is going on has happened in history in the last century and people are ignoring it. nothing mysterious, like carley said, it is a straight march. >> carley: it certainly feels that way. something i think is interesting that you are eshg lewding to, there were two tense day necessary ukraine. are you saying things feel normal there now? >> tomi: >> i'm saying people try to go about business normally. kyiv is one big traffic jam, if traffic doesn't move, it is a normal day. last wednesday, no cars on the road, yesterday it happened again. today, i think it is

almost back to normal. i could tell -- you know the people and the government here better than me, i'm guessing 20% of the population has gone somewhere else and left. >> carley: interesting. >> todd: i'm sure a lot of viewers wonder, tom, why are you still there? >> i grew ark -- attached to them. you know these people. you don't want to scurry off like a rat. >> carley: i hear that, tom, i think there are a lot of people who feel that way, although the biden administration, u.s., here at home, are encouraging americans to leave, just in case something does break out. on that front, during putin's speech yesterday he said ukraine is not just a neighbor, it is inherent part of our history,

culture, spiritual space. that doesn't sound like a man who wants to control eastern ukraine, that sounds like someone who wants to control the entire country, he's telling us what he wants to do. what are chances and concern are war breaking out? >> you know, what you just said, it is probably the biggest piece of misinformation that anyone who knows ukraine cannot stand to hear. the russians and the ukrainianians are completely different cultures, they are ethnically different, culturally different and just another piece of misinformation. i'm not saying, the people absorb and start repeating it. i do not believe anyone who knows ukrainians will think they and are russians are similar

culturally or ethically or any other manner. this is western european country and you guys at fox will understand, they got their freedom 30 years ago and they learned they could live in a world where each person decides best thing. the government doesn't give you -- you can work off and people think it is a good idea. >> carley: right, tom. that is what we're dealing with here in a lot of ukrainians, most from polling, align thementz with europe and america and west than russia and that gets under putin's skin, which is why we're in the situation we are in today. tom, thank you for your perspective. thanks for coming on. >> thank you. >> carley: lavish hotels, exclusive parties.

person, he lost access to his speech and occupational therapy and that was one problem with all of the mandate and stuff happening with the schools. it is more than masks. part of his problem, he has expressive language disorder, has hard time expressing emotions correctly. he's on the spectrum, he hasn't been officially diagnosed with autism, he falls under the umbrella. he really struggles to communicate with people. for him, it is really important he sees facial expressions to fully understand what somebody is saying to him. we had to fight really hard for him to wear a face shield to school. part of his problem, he has sinus issues, had surgery last year. >> todd: when you brought your concerns to the school district,

what did they say? >> actually i went to a school board meet nothing july last year before school startd and brought up the same issues that were my concerns about his language disorder and hear hearing loss. and i was actually called a white supremacist by members of the audience. >> todd: are you serious? because you as a mom want to make sure your kid can actually develop? >> yeah. it was actually shocking to me, i had never been to a school board meeting here before, so when i brought the concerns up to our school board and said, what is the conversation about white supremacy, has nothing to do with masks, we concerned about our children developing. it is critical in younger years they are hearing you enunciate properly and see your facial expressions so you are learning appropriate behavior and

language. we're seeing quite a bit of meltdown with our son after school everyday. he's in a face shield, he is not surrounded by people, can't see their faces. >> todd: it is not a problem that just your son is experiencing, all kids across the country and granted they do not have the same issue your son has. the cdc dropping or lengthening the amount of time for language development for 50 words up to 30 months opposed to 24. that is curious to me. we have to leave it there, we wish the best for and you your son, horrible situation, hope it improving sooner than march. >> carley: president putin -- biden administration says new sanctions are coming any minute now. combat veteran cory mills spent

ukraine this morning. steve has the latest. steve. >> steve: russians troops wasting no time, received order from vladamir putin to "keep the peace in eastern ukraine," so they are on the move, seen in two breakaway regions putin recognized as independent yesterday. not clear if this is the start of larger invasion in ukraine. vladamir putin yesterday said ukraine was the puppet colony of the u.s. being used to weaken russia. he says it is not a real country, basically a creation of communist russia. as far as ukraine president zelenskyy, there are concerned for his personal safety. russia has a list of politicians they intend to capture or kill. zelenskyy says he will not go anywhere, ukraine will defend

itself. moving out of the pact of russians invasion and now moved again into poland. >> carley: steve harrigan, thank you. let's bring in cory mills, army combat veteran, what do you make of this latest move by vladamir putin and why do things go from here? >> we shouldn't be all that surprised by this, we saw the same thing under the obama-biden administration, in crimea, we understood when sitting with 160,000 troops on the border, you are looking at armorment which would predicate invasion and we know vladamir putin is not intimidated by joe biden. this was bound to happen at some stage. >> carley: very weak response from the biden administration so far. the president signed

executive order yesterday that will not allow new investment, trade and financing in the region. additional sanctions will be announced today. what do you make of the response from the president? is it enough? a lot of people are saying no matter what sanctions will not deter vladamir putin. >> that is exactly right. we've had sanctions on russia for decades and all it's done is arkllow them to become more productive domestically. they are increasing gdp, and people like joe biden approving nord stream 2 give them more pull to the eu. they need to focus on two things, one, he said there was no recognition, he being vladamir putin, of the borders. budapest memorandum said they would not violate the ukraine

border if they got rid of the nuclear weapons. we have to decouple the eu, from utilizing russian oil and gas. we have germany dependent on oil and gas in russia and that gives them strength within the un city council. >> carley: you are right. germany and italy saying, maybe we will approve sanctionss, just not on russia oil and gas industry, which would hurt them most. putin's main point, he wants to break up nato, will he succeed on that front? >> look at the fact nato is partially corrupt and has opinion compromised. china commits human rights atrocities and this is the thing i was talking about earlier on previous shows, you have new

linkage, great power rusurgence links china and iran together. russia has not gotten to the table yet. russia continues to amass borders, you have economic and resource war fare going on by china, as well as surpassing of america in the south china sea with amount of naval fleets. we are seeing geopolitical land grab by many great powers and america has not done anything to answer the call. >> carley: without a doubt. biggest concern is putin and xi are trying to create a new world order where america and europe become the lesser power and it is wild to see this could be the start of that, let's hope it is not. thank you, leave it there. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> todd: did you hear about this, carl sne ex-girlfriend of

she was put in for two nights and three days before the counselor went home sick with coup. this counselor threatened the girls and said she would pull them down by their feet if they don't get up in time, turn the water off if they were not out in five minutes. she shaved her head, she sdnth speak to parents. shut up, i will pull your braids, constant fear. i was the only parent at the board meeting. i was unaware of any other issue with the camp. after i had spoke about the abuse issue, the following day, i was flooded with parents describing the same situation, but also including the fact that holly allows counselors to sleep in cabins with the identity, gender they identify with.

>> carley: right. the reason male counselors were sleeping in the cabins of fifth grade girls is because they are nonbinary, they go by they and them pronouns. you spoke to the school about this, how did the conversation go? >> well, just to also clarify, we have not confirmed there was a biological male in the cabin issue but the institute told us they would do that if that is how the counselor identifies. i had my 11 year old daughter told me there were multiple counselors that expressed they were to be -- they identified as they/them, they also had a group of kids that were lectured on inappropriate misgendering of counselors. when you combine all of that, my daughter ended up being confused as to whether or not that could have been a boy staying in her

cabin. i took that to the school and i asked them if they could confirm if there was in fact a male that would have been in the girl cabin. they did not have a response and they also failed to follow up on my request to find out. i contacted the pali institute and my sent an e-mail confirming they place counselors in the cabin they identify, which leaves confusion when they/them counselors. >> todd: and the irony of irony of all of this, this is a science camp, not looking like they are following science there. rachel and suzie, thank you for your time. keep us posted. single mother making minimum wage has her bank account frozen because she donated $50 to canada's freedom convoy. >> carley: we'll talk about that with tomi lahren and jeremy hunt is on deck on this busy breaking news tuesday morning.
