the conversation with the ukrainian president but first at the white house. >> the united states is telling them americans in ukraine is past time to leave the country as president biden warns vladimir putin of swift and severe consequences if russia invades ukraine. >> president biden: the cost to russia in terms of reputational cost and economic cost would be profound. >> the russian troops have effectively surrounded ukraine as american officials warned that at invasion could come at any time. even before the olympics and next week. >> we cannot pinpoint the day at this point and we cannot pinpoint the hour. >> the white house says that president biden spoke with vladimir putin for about one hours on saturday. officials say that the conversation often no fun mental changing dynamics in the state department is evacuating d b staff in ukraine. >> we are drawing down our

embassy and we have been very clear that american citizens remain in ukraine should leave now. >> the u.s. is sending 3,000 additional soldiers to poland joining 1700 already dispatched there. the goal is to reassure nato allies and deter any potential aggression against nato's eastern flank. the white house has stressed no american troops with light in ukraine. russia has complained about its security with any nato expansion. russia already invaded ukraine in 2014 and seized crimea. it also attacked in neighboring georgia 2008. senior administration officials say that the u.s. is committed to de-escalation but says at the white house is clear right about what is going on here. >> sandra: rich reporting from the white house for us. thank you. let's turn to tray yanks to live in kiev for us.

>> good morning. a russian invasion of ukraine could be just hours away according to western intelligence. both countries today continue military exercises. russian forces conduct live tendrils of the border of. they are part of a massive troop buildup that american intelligence officials believe could invade at any moment. >> we have different information and now the best friend for enemies is in our country. >> flatware wilensky downplayed the invasion but he has troops doing military exercises like the russians. ukrainian national guard and local police are conducting military exercises. on saturday, several thousand people marched through the streets of kiev sing in the ukrainian national anthem and holding the signs reading put in as a war criminal.

despite the looming shadow of war, life in the capital city of 3 million people continues as normal. there is no panic buying and no stockpiles. >> we live normally like before. we do not make any preparations for anything extraordinary. we know it may happen, but we hope it will not. speak of the disconnect is difficult to describe. people behind me in the capital of kiev are having lunch and cafes will just a few hundred miles away, there are russian tanks stage along the border and conducting drills. sandra. >> sandra: reporting from kiev, thank you. joining is now come up pentagon press secretary john kirby. thank you for being your. >> secretary kirby: thank you. >> sandra: as we all witnessed, there was a cone change on with the briefing from the white house on the border. what is the pentagon seen in recent days that would suggest putin could invade ukraine any day now?

speak to they talked about this. a combination of factors. what we're saying and play site the continued accumulation of russian capabilities along the border with ukraine and aim belarus. over the last two days, even more. number two, a mosaic of intelligence. not speaking to it says specifically, but we have good intelligence and they are telling us that things are building now to some crescendo opportunity for mr. putin. >> sandra: are we sharing that intelligence with our ukrainian counterparts? it is remarkable to hear them talk about the cafes full and bars and restaurants packed and the ukrainian people are going about their daily lives as normal. >> secretary kirby: what i can tell you is we are absolutely sharing our information in our perspectives youth ukrainian leadership as well as our nato allies.

we've been transparent on what we're seeing, what are perspectives are, and listening to them about what they are seen as well. >> sandra: specifically on intelligence, multiple new outlets including german newspapers are reporting that the u.s. secret service, cia, and pentagon have received intel of an exceptionally detailed invasion with plan scheduled for this wednesday, just a few days away. can you confirm or deny those reports? >> secretary kirby: i'm not in a position to confirm those reports. i think of and understand we want to be careful about publicly talking about intelligence and sources and methods in that kind of thing. what he can tell you and i put it back to what was said on friday. we believe that major military action could happen any day now. these assessments are coming from a variety of sources. not exclusively just inside intelligence, but we are seeing in plain sight. more than 100,000 troops continuing to be arrayed against ukrainian border. >> sandra: ukrainian president is insisting that they be privy

to the intelligence that is leading the united states to believe the situation it is gliding as quickly as it is. you say you are sharing information, are you sharing with them the specific intelligence that is leading to this? many ukrainians are saying that we are so stomach sowing confusion and chaos as a country. speech we have been transparent with ukrainian leadership on what our people are sick. >> sandra: after phone call was like rebooting, someone said there was no fundamental change in the dynamic that has unfolded for several weeks. is that a sign after the phone call yesterday that time is running out for diplomacy? >> secretary kirby: it is not a sign that things are moving in the right direction. it is certainly not a sign that mr. putin has any intention to de-escalate intentions. it is certainly not a sign that he is recommitting himself to a diplomatic have forward. it does not give us any cause

for optimism. >> sandra: that's at, germany's vice chancellor said d that we may be on the verge of war in europe, their words. germany's chancellor's going to be traveling to meet with flatware boot. is this a last ditch effort to avoid all-out war in europe? >> secretary kirby: not a last ditch, but we recognize that the time component seems to be shrinking. packets of salt cause for concern. we have said it and we say today. there's a time and space for a diplomatic path forward. we believe there is a way to does the mic de-escalate and find a peaceful way out of this so a war and ukraine can be averted. we welcome those by our european allies to try to engage mr. putin diplomatically. >> sandra: president biden had a stark warning to americans currently and ukraine saying that they should leave now and u.s. troops will not be deployed

inside ukraine to help evacuate them if they stay. >> secretary kirby: exactly right. this is the time, if you are an american citizen in ukraine, you should be making her way out. we believe a major military action could be only days away. could happen any day now. now is not the time to be in ukraine. you should make plans to leave immediately. as the president has said, the u.s. troops will not be fighting in ukraine. we have added some forcing posture to what is already a robust posture in europe of 80,000 troops per leave added to that to reach her allies and deter aggressions against the nato alliance. there's notification those troops will be going into crate. spoon this is what the president had to say about this this week. >> what are your plans toward american citizens who are in ukraine and may be there during an invasion? what scenarios would you put american troops to rescue and get americans out?

>> president biden: that's a world war i americans and russians start shooting at another. >> president biden: no. how do you even find if he's foolish enough to go in, maybe he'll really smart enough to not do anything to negatively impact american citizens. >> sandra: outside of a military evacuation, what assistance can americans expect if they struggle to leave ukraine? speech of the state of arm and a set up information portals on the website at the embassy there which is to link you have two assist americans with whatever they need. even if it's financial assistance. the state department is very much focused on this and women to assist americans. i would say, this is not a new mantra for us. we are urging them to leave right now, but the state department has been nothing but transparent over the last several weeks about plans

to leave ukraine and the need to not go there. there is plenty of time to do this in plenty of infrastructure in ukraine right now to do that. airports are running and railroads are running and highways are open. there's opportunities for americans who leave and they really should take these warnings and advisories very seriously. >> sandra: plenty of time to still impose new sanctions on russia which you have you abutted against in the white house has been against. it's being used to deter russia if they invade. considering diplomacy does not seem to be working, what would you be supportive of imposing sanctions preemptively? speech we have talked about this. if it is a deterrent and you use it before the aggression is made or transgression, you lose you deterrent effect. if you punish somebody for something they have not done yet, they might as well just go ahead and do it. we believe there is a deterrent effect by keeping them in reserve and we have been very

clear but the international community and with mr. putin about the severity of economic consequences he could face. >> sandra: imposing sanctions before putin invading her off the table. is that clear? speech you right now, we are not considering of preemptive sanction. >> sandra: through for your request, they were able to dig up a 2,000 page report and they were reporting on classified documents on afghanistan, speaking transparency, that due back at u.s. commanders who said it president biden's team was indecisive during that crisis, during the evacuation. what is your response to that as the description of that analysis is the calamitous exit from afghanistan? it shows in full detail. >> secretary kirby: we need to keep these documents and perspective. they are interview documents that were meant to assist our

investigation into a bombing that we unveiled and revealed a couple weeks ago. it's what the source of these document's are. people talking to investigators, they did not think these documents would become public and they were not talking to republic stomach reporters. they were talking to investigators. they were talking about, appropriately, what they saw at the airport and what they experienced there in kabul and afghanistan in real time. they are valuable documents going to be used for a larger after action review that the pentagon is conducting right now which will take and not what was happening at the airport but what was happening since he an agreement in february 2020 and a larger strategic level. i would add that in washington, we've been planning for evacuation as far back as april. there was no effort to slow down the planning or slow down was prepositioning forces we did in the summer, to slow down the actual execution of the evacuation. again, these were documents that

assert impressions and perspectives which are very important at the tactical level in real-time. we need to conduct a larger more strategic level after action review to get at the whole sense of this and we are doing that. >> sandra: good to get your reaction to that. admiral kirby from the pentagon, we appreciate your time this morning, sir. thank you very much. >> secretary kirby: my pleasure. >> sandra: we thank him for joining us. energy security has been at the center of this entire conflict. joining us now from a very energy rich state, louisiana senator bill cassidy. senator, welcome to you and welcome to fox news sunday. great to see you. >> senator cassidy: thank you for having meet. saw my interview with don kirby on the escalating tensions. what was your take away from what you just heard? >> senator cassidy: this is a culmination of the united states dearming when it comes to energy diplomacy. less than one year ago under the

previous administration, we were not only energy independent, but poised to become and have the ability to make the e.u. energy independent. in less than a year, we've lost that ability. russia has the leverage over the e.u. in terms of energy supply in order to blackmail them and turning a blind eye. you could argue they are trying not to, but germany's response has been quite muted to the pending invasion. i would say this is a culmination of a fold energy policy. >> sandra: others have said is it leverage that we make it out to be? gas is not yet flowing through that pipeline. it's not currently a revenue source for vladimir putin. is it as much of a ledge as many are making out to be? >> senator cassidy: they're still the first and there's

liquefied gas shipments. by the way, energy price signs are much higher in europe right now than they are and that's having an impact o on the pocketbook and economy. we've already seen a hint of the leverage and it could increase if the russians decided to further exploit. >> sandra: senator, the president is strongly encouraging, and you heard us talk about it a moment ago, encouraging americans in ukraine to leave as soon as possible and says that there is no prospect for a u.s. military led a evacuation inside ukraine. should the u.s. be doing more about this? >> senator cassidy: i agree with the president 100%. use common sense. we should not be endangering our soldiers or marines because somebody decides not to evacuate until after the fact. get out! if there is a pending invasion, used common sense and leave. >> sandra: the president vowing to end the nordstream

pipeline if russia invades. germany says it is united with the u.s. in that decision. he did so was standing next to president biden at the white house. if that pipeline, as we just discussed, it remains halted, germany will clean on other foreign nations for a significant amount of their energy needs. what can we be doing on a country today knowing the resources that we have and can tap into as you just mentioned. what can we be doing for preparing on what will likely be an energy crisis in europe if russia invades? >> senator cassidy: we must resume using america's resources and ramping them up in order to provide or replace that which russia would provide. by the way, that means beginning to lease in the outer continental shelf off of louisiana. allowing development of oil and natural gas and public lands only inland and speeding up permanent for the export facilities and pipelines that are currently not occurring.

it can also include, by the way, permitting for the renewables to be able to ship their electrons. right now, this administration is putting in amber the ability of the u.s. to expand and energy supply. that is why we are paying more for gas and natural gas. it's why the e.u.'s. we have to ease that not only for ourselves, but the e.u. >> sandra: your home state of louisiana provides more natural gas exports than any other u.s. state. we know you have access to a whole lot more. you and a few other republican senators met this week with the e.u. commissioner for energy. were there any promises made that we will be able to meet europe's energy needs in the future? >> senator cassidy: senators cannot promise if the administration slow walks everything by every means possible to decrease u.s. energy production. the administration can take laws on the book and interpret them in such a way, sometimes in

direct conflict with a stated means of the law, to slow down production. that is what this administration is doing. they are doing it in the weight of lower intensity so now, germany's burning coal instead of natural gas. not only are we getting more carbon intensity, but we are putting our european allies at threat of economic downturn and allowing them to be leveraged by russia. this administration's energy policy is a failure in terms of the climates, and terms of national security, the economy, in terms of you name it. >> sandra: senator, i want to move on to the great mask the bait. we saw a lot of it this week. this week, we said democrat and republican's dropping are winding down indoor school mathematics. in louisiana, the governor has encouraged mask wearing, but he says that schools can opt out of masks as long as a fellow cdc quarantine garden lights.

if the cdc and the white house are recommending wearing masks in high transmission areas. it indicates community risk right now is very high all over the state. should kids be wearing masks in louisiana schools? >> senator cassidy: we have to follow the science. if the science says that masks are only a marginal benefit but the cost of the child is of more than marginal cost, we have to follow the science. i will say that. clearly, what has happened over the past year, children have suffered from being locked out of schools and in some states wearing the mask. i'm a doctor and that's what i believe. that's what we should do. >> sandra: and that's what makes you a very unique senator. having that empty. we have seen major battles playing out over who has final say on mask mandates for the children, schools or governors. and your home state, school mask mandate decisions are left up to

local school districts. is that the right approach or should governors be able to supersede local authorities as we have seen in states like virginia? >> senator cassidy: i'm a conservative. i think that he or she that governs closest to those govern governs best. i think that should be a local decision and i say that as a conservative. >> jim: great to hear from you, senator. joining us from the great state of louisiana, senator cassidy. thank you very much. up next, we will bring in our sunday group to discuss the russia you can conflication in . thanks for coming. now when it comes to a financial plan this broker is your man. let's open your binders to page 188... uh carl, are there different planning options in here?

>> if you look at the disposition of forces in belarus and russia on the other side of ukrainian border the north and the east, the russians are in a position to be able to mount a major military action and ukraine any day now. >> sandra: that was white house national security advisor jake sullivan adopting more urgent tone as he discusses the prospect of military action in eastern europe. it is time now for our sunday group -- >> of "wall street journal" and author of the new book black boom and johanna maska and jury

gerald seib. joanna, let's start with you on ukraine when jake sullivan stepped into the the microphone on friday. di heightened sense -- did you sense the urgency from the administration and a change and tone when we heard from him? >> johanna: absolutely. it is wonderful to see you again and it is great to join jason and my fellow jayhawk, jerry, on super bowl sunday. but yes. they are concerned about that. as you all saw, china and russia have announced a friendship pack. the thing about china is that they have always been planning for the next 100 years. this is not just about russia invading ukraine. it is about china watching russia invade ukraine and those

subsequent events that could happen. we have russia and china saying to all of us that they are working together on artificial intelligence, internet, climate, all of these things. while i appreciate that the administration is moving forcefully, we are still planning into and for your segments when russia and china are looking at the next century. >> sandra: i'm curious whether or not the white house could look back and think they got this wrong. if russia does not invade, or will they be accused of overhyping the situation? not sharing enough of what they knew? considering ukrainian president has been demanding to know what the u.s. knows that is leading to this escalating tone come in white house. >> gerald: i don't think that is likely. the white house strategy here is

making it less likely by yelling at the top of the voice that an invasion could be coming and therefore using that as a deterrence factor against fight and reboot. it is a novel strategy and it may be working. some people think that there will not be a invasion and that's beloved good blank. this could potentially be the largest land work and europe. one of the things that vldy winning extent because he s hurting the ukrainian economy simply by massing troops and threatening innovation. what happens in a situation like this is capital fleas and investment drives up. right now, the ukrainian government is having to spend the prescience hard currency reserves to defend its own currency. there could be some fact of putin hoping they be alarmed which will destabilize the government. there will be a change in

ukraine without it stomach an invasion. spoon it seems like the white house is considering sanctions. it seems like it's being used as a deterrent. should we be considering sanctions now? >> sandra: to >> jason: absolutely. not just sanctions. one of the problems i've had with the strategy is that they have taken off of the table the strongest deterrence with can put forward which is the threat of u.s. troops in ukraine if the digression fades. what is off the table, it weakens us considerably. vladimir putin was watching what happened in afghanistan, our clumsy at best exit from their or our decision to exit. he was witnessing it and i think he senses weakness. he senses deficient. he is an opportunist. i agree about the consequences of going in the economic

consequences in europe. they could not just be facing an energy crisis here, but also a refugee crisis. there are 44 million people in ukraine and that they share a border with four european union countries. if russia invades, millions of people could flee ukraine into europe. europe saw a refugee crisis in 2015 and thus could dwarf that. i understand the lack of the interest in helping us out here because they are so energy dependent on russia, but they could pay a price with that hesitancy. >> sandra: a quick thought from each of you on inflation. pretty big numbers this week showing 7.5%. the biggest jump that we have seen and u.s. inflation as a nation in 40 years. this is a reality for many american families. to you, from "the wall street journal," what are we doing about this to bring consumer prices down? >> gerald: there was a study that came out that we reported

on that said the average family household suffers $276 a month and increased cost is because of inflation right now. it's real and across-the-board. everyone. everyone feels it. the difficult part for the biden administration is that there's not a lot in the short run you can do about it. the one thing they can do, and some democrat surgeon, do things to get the supply chains untangled and reduce pressure on one point. >> sandra: a lot of pressure on the federal reserve. omicron four, a quick thought from you on inflation this white house is pushing its spending belt trying to do so across the finish line. >> johanna: one president is not responsible for inflation we are still feeling the effects from closing the global economy in march of 2020. present biden is doing everything he can to address it and going back on the point of

president biden being responsible for putin's aggression. president trump undermined our intelligence agencies to him. a lot of blame as they are. we as americans need to come together and focus on our hundred year strategy for american dominance. >> jason: it's this is why americans are so sour on the economy. wages are up, that's true, but wages are being gobbled up by inflation. it's a political problem for democrats as we head into her midterm election spirit >> sandra: it keeps showing up m elections. good to have all of you with us today. door panel, thank you very much. i'm next, two years into the pandemic racing states across the political spectrum rollback mandates. we will discuss the decisions with colorado governor jared polis next.

we got this. we got this. we got this. we got this. yay! we got this. we got this! life is for living. we got this! let's partner for all of it. edward jones

♪ ♪ staying on top of your blood pressure is as simple as these four easy steps. self-monitoring is power. >> sandra: more and more democratic governors are joining republicans who have rolled back statewide mask mandates. their actions are going against recommendations from the white house and the cdc heard joining us now to discuss the factors driving these decisions, the governor of colorado,

jared polis. welcome and great to have you back on "fox news sunday." >> governor polis: great to see you. >> sandra: your state has not had a statewide mask mandates since last year. in december you said the emergency is over. you have left mandate decisions up to local officials. this week, we saw a number of democrat a governors follow your lead however, the white house has a different take as well as democratic governors. take a look at what the president said this week. >> president biden: i committed that i would follow the science and the science has put forward by the cdc and the federal people. i think it is premature, but it is a tough call. >> sandra: does th cause confusion for people in states like yours who are not under mandatory mask requirements? >> governor polis: and colorado, we have not had a statewide mask requirement for close to a year. with the cdc putting out its

guidance. they are recommendations on science. the cdc does not mandate anything. it has been up to local governments and, in some states, governors, to determine when or if people need to wear a mask. the most important thing is that should be an individual decision. people should be empowered with the information they need to protect themselves. the truth is, if you are at risk and i use my parents as an example, they are 77. my mom has respiratory condition so yes, they were medical grade masks out on others. that should be an individual decision based on science and data. >> sandra: is the white house getting the issue wrong? >> governor polis: the cdc is putting forward guidance. it is not mandating for anybody. the cdc is not and should not be mandating mass going for anybody. it is a very heavy thing for any level of government to tell people what to wear. as long as the cdc sticks to the

guidance and no political interference from the biden administration just as there is no interference from the trump administration, getting the message out there and hopefully it as one that people take into account in their daily lives. >> sandra: you reference the cdc, but the white house specifically when asked has said that they maintained their stance that children should still be wearing masks in the classroom. >> governor polis: i think what the white house is doing and should be doing is saying look at the cdc guidance. in districts where mask wearing is not required, nearly every district in colorado, some parents want their kids to wear a mask for the extra level of safety. perhaps her kid is asthmatic or has a pre-existing condit condition. there is no right or wrong. there's something more important and whether or not you were mask. it is civility and respect. if you are somebody who doesn't like wearing masks, respect those who do and if you're somebody who likes wearing mask, please respect those who don't. >> sandra: good old common

sense. we will see if that is in place when many of these changes take place. the transition could be difficult. governor, brand-new numbers released this week showing the nationwide inflation spiked to a 40 are high last month. 7.5%. president biden offered his take on what is causing the price hikes to consumers. >> president biden: the reason for inflation is these supply chains were cut off meaning that the products -- for example, automobiles. the lack of computer chips to be able to build those automobiles so they could function, they need the computer chips. >> sandra: your state is suffering from one of the highest inflation rates in the nation, sir. is the president right on this issue? or, is there more to the high prices that consumers are pay paying? >> governor polis: it's hard to say this like a part of it right. clearly, the supply chain issues both with trucking and international trade, are part of the cause.

there are other causes as well, but the response needs to be that we hear people and we are reducing fees and costs to save people money when we can. i was thrilled to see senator kelly and senator hassan put forward a bill to suspend the national gas tax to say people 18 since a gallon. we are trying to do a similar thing here in colorado to avoid a $0.02 a gallon fee. you bring up the gas tax which is interesting. you have suggested delaying a new gas tax. this is months after you've signed it into law. is that an admission it was a bad idea in the first place? >> governor polis: now was not the time to increase the gas tax appeared what we fought for in the bill was lowering the gas tax. we'll be gotten a bill was lowering vehicle registration fees in colorado by $11.50. we want to continue that

reduction in vehicle registration fees and we've been were supportive of cutting the gas tax. >> sandra: moving onto crime because there have been big stores at the national level in the news this week. the country continues to battle a spike in crime, but your state, colorado, falls fairly low on the list of safest places in the nation. 39th is the state for in amer america. murders are up 48% and assaults are up 48% and robbers 58%. you said your goal for colorado is to be a top ten save a state in america and you've introduced the public safety plan of action to hopefully reach that goal. however, the colorado fraternal order of police and county sheriffs of colorado, they are not bracing her plane. they are citing concerns of anti-law enforcement. how do you plan to bridge the gap of your plan and law enforcement to combat the rising crime rates in your sta state? >> governor polis: first of

all, many police chiefs and sheriffs are fully supportive of our plan because her plan, fundamentally, invest in helping recruit and retain law enforcement. we have sheriffs departments, police departments, that are 70%-80% capacity because they had early retirements and they cannot successfully recruit and train. we need to support and help to make sure we have the police on the ground that we need in order to protect our families in colorado and make our state one of the safest. in addition to that, we need investments in behavioral health, diversion, making sure that we can prevent crimes before they occur by having youth intervention programs and programs within our prison walls to prevent recidivism when people have served their term and get replaced. law enforcement is a big part of it, but there's a lot more to it. if crime is a simple issue, it would've been sold. we are committed to listening to police chiefs, sheriffs, and experts across the country to have a data-driven plan to make colorado one of these safe estate spirit >> sandra: thank you very much for joining us on "fox news sunday." always good to speak with you.

>> governor polis: always good to see you. thank you, sandra. >> sandra: we will bring back our sunday group on the rise of covid convert protests in canada and elsewhere.

care coalition, where are we on alaska airlines? we found that people are raving about their customer care. i mean, take a look at this! wow! [dog barks] says here they have the most flights from the west coast. they fly to chicago, hawaii, cancun! wow! do they fly to my magical faraway kingdom of care-a-lot, way up in the clouds where anything is possible? they have direct flights to vegas. close enough! ♪ ♪

close enough! >> sandra: we are back in with the panel. federal officials say that trucker protests in ottawa, canada, are exasperating supply chain issues in the u.s. michigan-based auto companies that have already paid shipping delays, what is the day-to-day impact this will have on americans if it continues? >> gerald: it is already having an impact. you were seeing auto plants having a slow down production or shutting down temporarily. not just in canada, but the u.s. as well. people lose work and they lose their paychecks. it is not a great weight to win support for your cause for the

truckers, honestly. it's starting in the auto industry, but it's not going to just be in the auto industry. it's going to repot across the supply chain as we've been talking about supply chain disruptions already and one part of the answer to the problem is to get more trips on the road, not fewer. >> sandra: jason, you have to wonder what the white house is saying behind the scenes to canadian prime minister trudeau as the movement seems to be gaining traction and spreading. >> jason: edits. as someone who grew up in buffalo, new york, right on the canadian border, frankly, i'm embarrassed that our neighbors to the north, known for the friendliness, or exercising the rebelliousness usually associated with americans. i wish more americans were adopting the civil disobedience attitude that the truckers have. but the larger message is that even canadians are fed up with the emergency covid nonsense.

it is time to end these mandates and it is not just in canada. we are seeing it in europe, brussels, new zealand. people want their freedom back. that's a message being sent. even at the prevention level in canada, justin trudeau is seen pushback from his own ready members on these mandates. it's time to rethink them. >> sandra: to that point, we are seeing these start to pop in a new zealand. there is a convoy protests happening in france where police had to be deployed to fire tear gas to disperse some of the crowds there. truckers in the u.s. are now potentially planning their own convoys as we mentioned, this seems to be spreading. now with the possibility of gridlock and several major u.s. cities ahead of the state of the union address. what would a biden administration, from your view, what should their response look like to that? >> johanna: you have to be consistent.

shutting down traffic is not okay with protests. we've seen a number of protests shut down traffic and it's interesting to meet when the right in the left say they are okay with one side and not the other. no one should shut down traffic. the truth is when these protesters have a problem with the president and the president's mandate, they are taking it out on the people. the american people would be the ones to suffer. i really hope that this does not happen and i hope that the biden administration takes a strong stance and state and local governments are given the resources they needed to prevent any shutdowns that will impact average americans. i think the bigger issue is always political polarization of a pandemic. by even virtue of us having this conversation, it continues and we need to take a step back. listen to exactly what we need to do to come together, overcome the pandemic, and move forward together. >> sandra: listening. listening is always good. we'll see if the country is able to do that.

while some herbology and politicians are expressing support for peaceful protesters including president trump which led to more attention for these protests. what is the impact of summer right wing support expressed from the u.s.? >> gerald: it's a two edge sword. you are going to see more republican politicians latch onto this because it has a populist appeal. president trump has done that. this deep-rooted movement that started out for bailouts as morphed. but the danger is that far right groups are latching onto it and it could turn a darker and violent. that's the danger, i think. >> sandra: you hear from so many truckers that are trying to spread their own messages, they don't want to be associated with the bad eggs that abandon some of those crowds. we appreciate our panel. thank you very much for joining us, we will see you next sunday. up next, it is super bowl sunday. the bengals are hoping to defeat the rams and get their first

ever rain. jim gray joins is next with want to watch.

spewing queue up the snacks. we are hours away from the big kickoff of the big game. bengals quarterback joey baroque for my oma motto lsu hoping to lead his team to the first ever super bowl win. it is expected to be one of the warmest super bowl's on record, a rude awakening for the bengals who practice this week and an ice storm. the gaming industry's betting bag saying that it expects 31 million americans will place bets. total wagers could be over $7 billion. joining me now is legendary sportscaster and fox news contributor jim gray. jim, welcome to "fox news sunday." welcome to super bowl sunday. >> jim: marv leavy had the best thing

ever. where would you rather be than right here there right now? that's exec and what it is. 80 degrees coming up this afternoon. it's when we so much fun. the rams and bengals. >> sandra: what is jim gray going to be watching for toni tonight? >> jim: i want to see how joe burrow does against the great defensive lane. they have given up 63 sacks which is an awful lot. nine in the last game against tennessee which they were able to advance before they leave the kansas city chiefs. it's going to be the offensive line and see how they do against aaron donnell and von miller. just a great rams defense. >> sandra: you host a podcast with tom brady and spoke to him just after he announced his retirement. you asked whether he would ever consider returning and here's what he said. >> i'm going to take things as they come. never say never. at the same time, i feel very good about my decisions.

>> sandra: you know him well. what did you make of that ans answer? >> jim: i think he's trying to be honest. he has been playing football for more than 30 years and he loves professional football and he loves his family. i don't think that if he changes his mind three, six months down the line or even a year from now, he wants to be pointed out and said you said you never do it again. i think is being honest. i don't use any plans to honor attire. it's only been a week or ten days now. of course, the door should be open because let's see what happens with him. in june, july, when it's time to go back to training camp. let see what happens with the family and let's see how things go. he can still play. he's not leaving because of any physical attribute that he can't do anymore. he led the nfl in every statistical category as a quarterback. it's just because of family concerns and it's time to do other things. he's 44 years old and he will be 45 if you were to play next season. i personally don't see that happening, but i don't speak for

tom. he speaks for himself. he left it open ever so slightly. if something happens, he can have the ability to not be pointed out and say you would never. >> sandra: as you said that, i said it wouldn't be the first time that one of the greatest return to the field diet field. ten seconds left. i don't think you're going to make a prediction, but something we should all be watching tonight as a final thought? speak to the in a blowout or the bengals in a close game. nothing either. the rams of the better team, but the best team does not always win. i think anybody could take it home. >> sandra: thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. >> jim: thank you for having me. >> sandra: that's it for today. i'm sandra smith and i will see you again tomorrow for america reports on fox news channel. that is at 1:00 p.m. eastern. we will see you next we will see you next "fox news sunday."
