before russia invaded ushg yoo, hundreds of thousands dead, putin's army making gains and all eyes on congress and whether lawmakers will sign on for more aid. >> without the aid, ukraine will lose the war. >> shannon: it appears house speaker johnson won't hold a vote onna a bipartisan funding bill. >> we will probably be looking down the barrel of a governor shutdown over a spending battle. >> it is absurd to devote resources attention and time to a border conflict 6000 miles away. >> shannon: we'll talk with jake sullivan who says additional aid is vital and congresswoman nancy mace says it is a difficult sell to the american people. then -- >> [speaking foreign language] >> crisis at the border.

president biden is finally considering executive action to stem the tide of migrants. governors from across the country come to washington to call for urgent action. >> we're all border states now. >> shannon: sit down with oklahoma governor stitt and governor jared polis. plus -- >> i have never seen the republican party so unified as it is right now. >> donald trump wins south carolina primary picking up 50 delegates and handing nikki haley another defeat. >> shannon: all right now on "fox news sunday." >> shannon: hello from fox news in washington. making headlines, u.s. and coalition forces conducted joint strikes in yemen overnight

striking weapons and missile storage facilities. houthis have been attacking commercial ships in red sea. in russia, prison officials turn over the body of alexei navalny to his mother saturday, eight days after the 47-year-old died in siberia. russia's allies belarus is hoteling parliament election which opposition leaders call a senseless farce. the leader has ruled the country for three decades, backed by vladamir putin. forces have advanced further west near adica. in a moment, jake sullivan, first turn to senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot live in ukraine, where ceremonies are being held to mark two years since russian

invasion. >> greg: firing 18 drones and two missiles overnight, russia fired at kyiv and other cities, we heard sirens, russia's might is being felt here more and more. two years ago this weekend, russia's war against ukraine began after vladamir putin missiles reigned down and tanked rolled in, threatening ukraine from all sides. that moment marked in a ceremony presided over by zelenskyy and other western leader outside of kyiv. with the war turning into a grim and deadly battle of attrition with russia making endroads, zelenskyy praised newly signed security packs. we have not had such powerful agreements before, it is important, whatever is promised

need to be executed. >> greg: still $60 billion in u.s. aid remains blocked on the hill. chuck schumer was just here leading delegation and pledging to deliver for ukraine. we will not abandon you. we will fight and fight and fight to get this needed aid to you. >> assistance appreciated in towns that are patched up but feeling the pain. >> on the outside, it is renovated, inside, it is hard. >> to the many who came this weekend to memorial in the center of kyiv, each small flag representing a soldier killed in the war. >> it is sad, big sad. >> i hate russia. >> they killed our future. >> greg: ukrainian defense ministry says it has an action

plan for 2024, it is powerful, strong, will offer hope and deliver results, all those much needed right now. shannon. >> shannon: greg palkot, thank you. joining us white house national security adviser, jake sullivan, welcome to "fox news sunday". >> thanks for having me. >> shannon: we start with this grim anniversary. "new york times" doesn't have optimistic outlook, forecasts are anything but optimistic, best ukraine can hope for is to simply hold the line. so what is the argument to congress or explanation to the american people now that the white house is asking for tens of billions more to aid in ukraine. how does this conflict resolve? >> well, first of all, take a step back. two years ago this month, everyone predicted that ukraine

would fall in a week or two, russia would march into the capital of ukraine, kyiv and dominant and wipe it off the map. that did not happen. two years later, kyiv stands and ukraine has taken back half the territory russia occupied in initial months of the war. a lot of predictions about a lot of doom have not born out over time. there is not a shortage of bravery or courage on the part of the ukrainians, there is a shortage of bullets, the way to fill that shortage is for congress to pass funding that will give ukraine tools to succeed and ensure russia fails in this brutal conquest. we believe they are capable of doing that and bipartisan senate vote could be replicated if the speaker would put the bill on the floor. >> shannon: senator j.d. vance warned that it is not just

writing checks, we have inability to serve up some armament and artillery we would like to be able to get to ukraine. defense news say there is the issue with ukraine and now we have israel to worry about and china threat saying our armed forces do not have munitions for conti contingiency to sustain operation in all three theaters at once, war games show the u.s. will run out of critical munition eight days into conflict with china over taiwan. what is the president's plan for rebuilding this gap now in weaponry so we can help our allies and protect ourselves. >> first, we've discovered since start of war in ukraine and biden came into offs, the cupboards were not as full as they should have been over the

past 20 years and we've been working to build up the defense industrial base and increase production of critical munition system and we are producing significantly more than the day we walked into office. second, this bipartisan bill that the senate passed is best answer to your question and contains substantial resources to enhance capacity to build munition for ukraine and also to make sure that the united states military has tools it needs to deter any adversary in the world any time. if we don't pass this bill, it will mean lsz money going to 40 of the 50 states of the united states in the process of producing critical munition, we have to get the money out the door. >> shannon: we'll talk fo somebody on the other side about why republicans have hesitation, there are worries about

transparency and tracking and following the funds. talk about sanctions levied on russia, new round on friday, they have been under what a lot of people said were crippling sanctions and what we hear from voice of america, the russia economy outpaced both u.s. and europe in growth increasing 3.6%, despite sanctions and being cut off from major global markets. politico says russia has rebounded and oil and gas sales are relatively strong. what will another round of sanctions do? >> well, first, shannon, i would say, top-line numbers you are seeing are product of a massive amount of spending bithe russian government on its military and what they are doing is spending down reserves they have, depleting war chest they had

before the war by half or more. that will come at long-term cost to russia. they are not able to replenish basic elements of technology that could transform russia into 21st century economy. it is true the russian economy has been resilient and we need to keep chipping away at it. it identifies banks and other instruments that are trying to evade sanctions to get resources to russia to allow them to power their defense industrial base and cut off sources of revenue, transactions and deals. we'll have to do this day-by-day and more rounds of sanctions going forward. this has to be patient, pain-staking work. we will reduce russia capacity to threaten neighbors and that

is our intent. >> shannon: talk about israel and hamas. prime minister netanyahu has released his plan for when the war is over, biden administration is about two-state solution, something that prime minister netanyahu is rejecting saying it would reward the terrorists and barbaric attacks on october 7 and leave them in a situation where they are going to be at existential threat. they stand in stark contrast to washington's vision for war-torn territory, sign of deepening divide between his government and the administration of joe biden. how deep has that divide gotten? >> well, i've seen the report on this, i have not been briefed by the israeli government on the issues, i'm talking to my israeli counterparts later today because they have gone out in

the press to talk about this without talking to us. i have questions about what i've seen reported in the press. i'll take a look at what they have to say. i can tell you this. biden administration's position on the best way to ensure israel's long-term security, which is a two-state solution with israel security guaranteed and steps to lock that in, we have not moved an inch off that, that is our view and we will continue to work toward that including consultation with the israeli government. >> shannon: whus security adviser jake sullivan, thank you for your time. and congresswoman nancy mace joins us now. welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> thank you for having me today. >> shannon: pick up where we started with jake, this idea of billions more white house requested in funding with respect to helping ukraine. you have heard democrats say the

hold-up in the house is helping russia, you are aiding moscow. bret baier sat down with zelenskyy a few days ago in ukraine and here is what he said. we just want to live to survive. we don't have alternative, we want to survive. i think congress, just people with their families, there children and they understand we are just trying to save our houses can children. >> shannon: why is this stalled in the house? >> number one, we've given ukraine over 100 billion so far in their endeavor to defeat russia. this is what the left does, they don't want to talk about policy and biden's failed mission in ukraine, they want to say republicans are pro-putin and pro-russia, nothing is further from the truth. we are pro-america. our citizens and national

security. one thing you did not hear jake sullivan or joe biden say today or ever is defining our mission in ukraine. they have yet to define that mission and yet to set the strategy or articulate how to get out of this situation. it is or is not successful, how do we get out of this? you have not heard it defined by the american people or congress. if we had the answer we'd be talking about it and there would be support for it. this administration is putting the border of other nations first rather than our own. before anything else happens, i want to know what we are doing about invasion and national security at our southern border, should be number one priority of joe biden and this administration full stop. >> shannon: they say they are trying to get something done and you guys are blocking it and they say the president, just

went on vacation, house has beenous of session. that criticism is not from the left, here is your former governor nikki haley talking about that. >> the problem is congress should have gotten in a room and kept going until they got a strong bill up. they went home on break for two weeks and president trump tells them don't get anything done until after general election. >> shannon: what about criticism president trushg is calling the shots and telling you what to do. heat from the white house and gop? >> first of all, i don't take a break, i work seven days a week and i don't take orders from anybody, i don't care if they have a r or d by their name. there are two strong security bills. hr 2 went to the senate and

chuck schumer sat on it. we did an appropriations bill which had strong border security language in it. he refused to take it up. we started that marker, sent two bills over and democrats tried and failed to send over massive mass amnesty bill back to the house, which is not what the american people want. that bill died in the senate and did not make it out. we've been working hard in the house under mike johnson leadership and i want to commend him for holding the line on border security. >> shannon: there are first patch of appropriations bills are due march 1, that is friday, this is after kicking the can down the road and there are concerns about where this winds up. democrats blame in-fighting and problems republicans are having for not getting things done.

here is congressman clyburn. >> if this government shuts down and people don't get their social security check and retirement checks and people are laid off from work, they will have this -- right at the door step of the republican party and we will not back up from that one bit. >> shannon: politico reports there was a call with the speaker last night and frustration about in-fighting, the speaker works to defeat policy demand from democrats and secure gop measures he acknowledged deal-making power is undermined by house republicans blocks gop measures from being debated for passage from the house freedom caucus, they have priorities if in bills democrats will not vote for. what happens? ? do we get the bills done?

is there a government shutdown coming? will republicans pay the price for that? >> i've seen different fractions try to sabotage legislation, especially regarding border security. it is shocking to see. there are laws the country that congress should follow. that is what we should be doing. house republican passed 10 bills out of 12 and it is up to the senate to take measures up, follow laws in this country and move forward. those are bills we should be negotiating off of, instead senate democrats want to blame failureings on republicans, that is not the case. we are following the law but it is up to chuck schumer who killed every endeavor to be

responsible about spending and just killed it. >> shannon: there are things that have to be settled within the gop as new batch of bills is new. we will track it, there may be work from negotiators about what they have this week. see you back in wash ush wa. thank you. >> yes, ma'am, thank you. >> shannon: up next, president trump's big win in south carolina caps off week that found him polling ahead of president biden on issues voters care about. our sunday panel will break it down, brand new numbers, right after this. >> "fox news sunday" brought to you by pacific life, over 150 years of strength and stability, imagine your future with confid confidence. air, and then protects it on their long journey.

>> russia head taken ukraine territory for first time in months. here in america, speaker gave the house a vacation. this moment will never be forgotten in history. >> shannon: new polls show growing skepticism about his ability on national security. talk with our group, josh holmes, tiffany smiley and chairman of rescuing american dream, fox news juan williams and susan page, washington bureau chief. reference to poll from marquette law school, they give president trump edge on immigration and border security, 28 points, hamas 15 points, serious

challenge for the white house. >> immigration terrible dilemma for the white house, they indicated they want to take stricter measures that creates problems with progressive democrats. with the middle east, first test in the michigan primary to how much trouble president biden will have with young people and with more progressive voters about what is happening in israel and on the gaza strip. >> shannon: i want to bring up something the president is worrying about this on his left frank, increasing criticism from people on his party to vote for uncommitted. politico says inside the critical battleground state, the president's team does not appreciate contempt from arab voters. if the president does not change course, would not be surprised if biden loses there in

november. he won by 150,000 last time. it is a state you need to win. >> juan: yeah, one of seven you can target in february saying is necessary see for whoever wins. biden won as moderate anti-chaos candidate in 2020. to have people on the left criticizing him reinforces his image as not a left wing guy that a lot of people on the right would like to characterize him as. keep in mind, last three elections, or more, they are five points apart. it will be a coin flip in november. a close election. think in those terms, think about fundamentals of the race and right now it doesn't look

bad on biden side. economy set a record this week. >> shannon: people are not feeling it yet. >> juan: right, to my thinking is if i'm running ads and biden people have big advantage on money over trump people. i run ads about, this is a great economy, unemployment record lows, think about abortion as an issue and ivf in alabama, run ads 59 suburban women. >> shannon: we have seen that in elections that has been successful for democrats. while on this issue of foreign policy, i want to play a little bit of president zelenskyy interview with our bret baier and discussion of whether president trump should visit him in ukraine. >> why i said please come, i'm have happy to see all the candidates and people who are decision-makers or can support

not against, just understand what the war in ukraine means. >> shannon: everything the former president has said about ukraine, being critical, what about optics of that in a campaign year? >> he might, he is outside the box and could do anything. i have a counter intuitive take. i know republican politics here, people have wanted to distance themselves from ukrainian funding issue. house republicans should look at it and falls in the following category. if you believe president trump will be president in 2025, do you want to hand over a global place degraded from where it was under bad decision-making with joe biden made? you are telling russia you will not support ukraine and telling

china you will not support taiwan and telling middle east you have reluctance about supporting israel, that limits decision-making power new president trump would have on the global stage. i think the government funding set aside, this requires fresh set of glasses for a lot of people who may view this dimly over the last few months. >> shannon: folks like me over 50 and candidates need glasses. tiffany, you have navigated this as candidate and there are landmines moving through this here. >> speaker johnson has a tough task for sure and needs to follow two rules. number one, do no harm. number two, focus on priorities that majority, most of americans can get behind. focus on we can't have a

government shutdown, that is harmful for americans and republicans. president biden wants ukrainian funding, why doesn't he secure our border. he would have more sfoert if he delivered for the american people. the president has one job, protect sovereignty of the american people and he failing that every single turn. secure the border, don't tie it to funding and as far as ukraine, we're in this miss because of joe biden, that is important to remember. his lack of divisive being able to make a decision before putin invaded led us to the place we're in now. he has not laid out success or metric for why the american people should write blank checks to ukraine. >> shannon: it would be helpful if he articulated that to the american people. do not go far, we will see you later in the show. word that president biden is considering executive action on

the border, live at the border to show us the chaotic reality. next. -thanks for swinging by, carl. -no problem. so what are all those for? uh, this lets me adjust the base, add more guitar, maybe some drums. -wow. so many choices. -yeah. like schwab. i can get full service wealth management, advice, invest on my own, and trade on thinkorswim. you know carl is the only front man you need. (phone rings) oh, i gotta take this, carl. it's schwab. schwab. (feedback rings) have a choice in how you invest with schwab.

democrats agree. conservative republican steve garvey is the wrong choice for the senate. ...our republican opponent here on this stage has voted for donald trump twice. mr. garvey, you voted for him twice... as your own man, what is your decision? garvey is wrong for california. but garvey's surging in the polls. fox news says garvey would be a boost to republican control of the senate. stop garvey. adam schiff for senate. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message. >> shannon: the white house is insisting republicans are

standing in the way of border security. president biden speaking to a room full of governors friday slamming lawmakers for refusing to support his plans. we'll be joinered by governors who were there, democrat jared polis and republican stitt. check in with alexis mcadams in eagle pass, texas with an update on the border crisis. >> everywhere you look in eagle pass, texas, you see razor wire and big fencing and the national guard and the texas governor says it is slowing the surge as joe biden is eyeing what executive actions he can take. >> as the border crisis rages on, president joe biden admitting the nation's immigration system is not working. >> president biden: our laws and resources have not kept up with the immigration system and it is broken and politics fail to fix

it. >> biden touting his bipartisan bill blaming the surge of migrants on petty politics. >> president biden: speaker of the house refuse to vote on the bill. >> this weekend, hundreds of migrants dropped off in san diego, california, allowed to travel to their city of choice. >> atlanta. >> new jersey. >> with america watching, the commander-in-chief eyes executive action on immigration. speaker johnson says americans will not forget the president created this catastrophe. americans have lost faith in this president. the standoff as police in georgia arrest this venezuelan migrant for the murder of a nursing student. laken riley had gone for a run near campus and nevercame back.

he was in the country illegally now charged with her kidnapping and murder. ibarra crossed in 2022 in el paso and was released into the united states on parole. we have a real problem, never been so dangerous or so sick. >> right now that migrant remains in custody in georgia as the governor of georgia brian kemp wrote a letter to the white house telling president biden he wants more information on that suspect's emgragz status and calling on president biden to secure the border. >> shannon: alexis mcadams, thank you. joining me jared polis and kevin stitt. you have been at the white house and spending time with the president. what has been impact of the

border on your state and did you hear concrete solutions discussed? >> really we heard a few excuses and we believe that the president is the executive and absolutely has tools he needed to secure the border. we want to reinconstitute remain in mexico policy, there is different in immigration, we need immigration policy and workforce, i'm for state sponsored work visas. there are tools this administration could use. fentanyl deaths up 500%, meth deaths, chinese nationals coming through, people on terrorist watch list. there is bipartisan effort, all the governors i talk to know it is a problem. we need solutions and we know what they are, remain in mexico

andy r secure the southern border. >> shannon: your issue is affordable housing and you have been pressing this in colorado. we had denver's mayor on not long ago talking about the people showing up illegally in colorado. pressure is on a number of states and towns, saying we can't help and imagine these people. how is this affecting you getting affordable housing in colorado? >> we need to listen to one another better, this is not a democratic or republican challenge, it is an american challenge. we need to secure the border. of course, we need more border patrol agents, congress needs to fund them and fund additional border security. when people enter illegally and we fail to lock down the border, it will increase demand for

housing. while we're undertaking efforts to build new housing, cutting red tape, we want to secure that border to make america safe and affordable. >> shannon: we hear this from the white house, it is about more money for border agents. opponents did not buy it. what they saw coming together in senate, they felt did not have enough teeth to it and there were work permits and other things under that framework. >> that is the deal, focus on one deal at a time, our plan and what i try to explain to people in oklahoma and it is important. there is 28 ports of entry, it is already a federal law. it is illegal to enter the country anywhere but 28 ports of entry. you have people entering and they touch u.s. soil and they are letting them in the country and giving them free pass to all

the services and tell them to come back to a court date and blame the court system. we think there is a solution and politics gets involved in the city and governors, we get along well and we are more practical about let's solve this and solve this issue and we can move on to state-based work visas to support needs of our communities and workers. >> shannon: play something from your fellow governor who was at the meeting, this governor said this about what he heard. we met with the president for an hour, first half scripted off a teleprompter, we were allowed one question from the republicans and one from the democrats and the president responded. >> shannon: how would you describe this meeting? when people hear it was a

teleprompter when meteorologisting with you guys and two questions, was there free-flow of information? >> not sure when the interview was, he took another question after the two questions, at least a third question and he spoke from the heart. i think it was a good discussion with the president, he was with us when we entertained at the white house last night. he heard from many of us and concerns about border security. we need to get it done. we talked about other issues, and the president and dr. jill biden were gracious in their time with the governors. >> shannon: did you talk about the budget? you can't print money, you have to get your budget done, we are staring down another possible government shutdown by friday if we don't get done? any advice getting it done?

>> we balance budgets and deliver on time, congress should do the same. i hope congress can take a lesson from states and balance the budget and keep the government open. >> shannon: how about oklahoma? >> we have to have a balanced budget and think why is congress not doing their job in passing a budget? i think it has been in the 90s. americans are super frustrated with continuing resolutions and deficit spending. if we bring in, last year the government brought in 4.4 trillion dollars, did they spend it? no, they spent 6.1 trillion. that is unsustainable. 25% of annual revenue or salary can spent interest only on the national debt. it is unsustainable and not like a mortgage payment where you are

doing principle and interest and pay off your house or pay this debt off, we are doing interest only and there is spending 1.7 trillion over what our revenue is. we've got to have an honest conversation, american people are super frustrated. >> shannon: none of us can run our budgets that way at home. >> that is what democrats and republicans want, balance budget and state of colorado has a budget surplus, many states do, it is not hard to do if you spend wisely, we've cut taxes and want to do it again. >> shannon: plenty of agreement there. >> there are always people pitching a great idea, do this government program, if you don't have a limit on your spending, why not spend 7, eight, 10 trillion, limit has to be your

revenue. americans know this, what is going on in washington, d.c.? we don't run our states that way, we shouldn't here. >> shannon: thanks. up next, come friday, the government start s to run out of money. what is the plan on capitol hill and who gets blamed if the government actually shuts down? our panel is back after a quick break.

>> we've been doing our job, we've been having those conversations with congressional members and it's unfortunate that the speaker chooses to turn this into a political football here. >> shannon: white house pointing finger at house speaker mike johnson over failure to pass border reform bill. back here with the panel. another poll monmouth, how is the president doing on immigra immigration? 26% approve and 71% disapprove. that is not a good start on something people tell us is the top issue up there with economy.

>> juan: absolutely not good, no way to spin that one. keep in mind from the white house perspective, they put forward a bill as they understood it gave the republican house what they have been looking for, more border security, more personnel, ability of president to shut down the border and even had support from a bipartisan vote in the u.s. senate, including mcconnell, the republican leader in the senate and u.s. chamber and border security said it is a good deal and house republicans said notice. for white house, now going forward in the campaign, we can say they rejected the deal. why? they prefer the political issue to the political solution. >> shannon: those are optics republicans have to deal with, president trump is calling the shots telling them to vote no.

skeptics felt like there were things they could not vote for. they are standing up for the american people and juan, the president has authority to secure the border right now. he is walking that back temperature is election and i'm seeing numbers, maybe i will do something about the border. i mean, look at the young nursing student just killed at university of georgia. america is not safe and it is getting worse. joe biden has not laid out a plan for a vision or future that life will get better. >> shannon: now talking about using executive action. group of 150 different groups wrote this letter unhappy about what they are hearing he may do. they say many changes you are contemplating would stain your legacy and undo your efforts to adhere to asylum law and create

widespread chaos at the border. >> i don't think there is single issue in america between contrast of where donald trump is on border security and where biden is. everybody remembers debate stages, joe biden had his hand in the air saying he would open the border and provide different services to immigrants. remember the day one rescinding of the emergency designation for the border, he got rid of stay in mexico policy, this has been deliberate serious act by the biden administration. none of that will help him in this particular issue. the problem is there. and there is no way to undo it. >> shannon: make sure we get to

the fact there was a primary election yesterday in south carolina. polling had 30 to 35 points between president trump and nikki haley and ended 20 points, that is quite a blowout. nikki haley folks say she outperforms the goels. >> that is her state. there is no longer with south carolina primary over, there is no longer any kind of credible path for nikki haley to win the nomination this time. republican party has long history of nominating people when they run the second time, think about ron desantis or mccain or bob dole and nikki haley is probably playing a long game. >> shannon: politico says there may be "i told you so" moment why she is sticking around. if trump loses in november,

haley is sure to be viewed in different light, her message validated and her party coming off four disappointmentes linked to trump. does the base want to hear that? if he loses in 2024, will they be open to this argument, i told you this would happen. >> if the republican party were to lose, there would be changes after four successive elections, whether nikki haley is beneficiary of that remains to be seen. additional motivation, we have most dynamic political environment, two basic octogenarians for both parties, you have enter of courtroom in 91 indictments on one side and sitting president that has diminished by the day. if you hang around, you are likely to see things. i can't imagine that is not part

of her calculus going forward. >> shannon: this marquette law school poll has her head-to-head up 18 points on biden. how glad are you she will not be the nominee? >> juan: i hear republicans say all the time they want trump. clearly the negative cam 59ing has not started from democrats against nikki haley, we have to see where that goes. keep in mind, picking up on josh's point how dynamic this is. trump has not won 50% in iowa, new hampshire and fact she gets 40% running against incumbent president, i don't know. >> shannon: democrats could vote in the primary yesterday, we don't know how many of that showed up for nikki haley. up next a children's book hoping to recruit african american kids to become doctors. why this cause is so important

to the woman who spearheaded this movement next. t their hear! how's the heart? how's your heart? how's your heart? -it's good. -is it? -aah, i don't know. -it's okay. -it's okay! -yeah. -good. -you sure? -i think so. how do you know? it doesn't come with a manual, and you like ooh, i got the 20,000-day checkup, right? let me show you something. put two fingers right on those pads. look at that! that's your heart! that is pretty awesome. with kardiamobile, you can take a medical-grade ekg in just 30 seconds, from anywhere. kardiamobile is proven to detect atrial fibrillation, one of the leading causes of stroke. and it's the only personal ekg that's fda-cleared to detect normal heart rhythm, bradycardia and tachycardia. what does it feel like to have that piece of mind available at your fingertips anytime you want? that would be great...to know what my heart was doing. kardiamobile is just $79. and when you buy today, you'll also get a free carry pod. get yours at kardia.com or amazon.

>> shannon: a new children's book will be released this week with the goal of inspiring african american children to

consider being doctors willis watson is about a child who wants to become a doctor after caring about his grandfather. working for decades to connect cancer patients with care, dana joined me to discuss how she hopes this book will close a gap temperature is our sunday special. >> shannon: welcome to "fox news sunday." what an inspiring book, so sweet and every character has a positive message, why was it important to get this book done? >> at the cancer foundation, we do a lot of work in underserved communities of color. one message i hear in relation to seeking out medical care is i wish i could see a doctor like me. and a friend of mine, who lives in philadelphia, an african american man said, you know,

dana, only 500 at the time, students in medical school are blackout of like 40,000. i thought, this is a whole other barrier that i hadn't even thought about. i knew of an author carmen bogen, an african american woman who wrote a book about a young african american boy and i thought my goodness, this is perfect for carmine. i picked up the phone and gave her a call and our conversation turned into 2-1/2 hours and that is how willis watson was born. >> shannon: willis has a number of heroes to look up to in this book, his grandfather who is a war hero and ends up in the hospital and willis sees a doctor that looks like him. >> willis was frightened about being in the hospital setting,

very uncomfortable. in walks this african american man who is so kind to willis and also taking care of his gram ps and wills thought maybe there is an opportunity for me to become a doctor and may have never had that thought had he not been in the presence of this doctor. >> shannon: are numbers improving? are people feeling like medical school is a good option for them? >> it is something we need to pay attention to because african american black population is disproportionately impacted, especially by cancer, they make up 13% of our population and yet only 5% of doctors are african american. >> shannon: willis is a great

illustration and lovable character, everybody in the book is, dana, thank you for spending time with us. >> thank you. >> shannon: willis watson, you can get it where you want to buy books available wednesday tomp check out the cancer foundation visit this website. that's it for today, thank you for joining us, have a great week, we'll see you next "fox news sunday." what do i see in peter dixon? i see my husband... the father of our girls. i see a public servant. a man who served under secretary clinton in the state department... where he took on the epidemic of violence against women in the congo. i see a fighter, a tenacious problem-solver... who will go to congress and protect abortion rights and our democracy.
