11:06 pm
pretty strong a comparison to a party that wants to unite us. a family and doing what they are dealing with in a party that's dealing with the 2020 election for the party that is taken away reproductive rights for women. a party that is attacking families and law enforcement, questioning the fbi as a postal party that really is about lifting up america to fulfill its best promise. and that is that anyone can live and be the best they can be and we want to help people do that. think the president is writing that wave, bringing down the cost of prescription drugs and all of those things. i think the best thing he can do it what is appropriate is to draw a contrast between what the two parties stand for. >> here he is in november of 2020 after he won. >> it is time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, see each other again. listen to each other again. and to make progress we have to
11:07 pm
stop treating our opponents as our enemies. jennifer: have assessed for recalling his opponent semi- fascist? people have compared this to hillary clinton saying to portables on the campaign trail. >> people that say that we dead wrong. the president works across out all the time he gets criticized for prepress and infrastructure bill with bipartisan support for defect presidents for decades have talked about passing the infrastructure bill. but he did it with republican support pretty just passed a bill to help our veterans with bipartisan support pretty pasty chips bill so we could build semi conductors in this country. and secure american independe independence. and leap towards the future with bipartisan support. it works republicans democrats all the time but here's the difference in the last president this hundred this president focuses on people and their families not himself. so we will work with republicans, will work with democrats he has shown that over and over again. that is what he was saying in
11:08 pm
the november clip that you just showed. and that is what he is doing every day per. >> us talk about student loans for the press announces plan to forgive 10,000 dollars of student loans for borrowers earning less than $125,000 per year. $20000 for pell grant borrowers. take a look at the average tuition numbers in recent years. $9400 for public universities, $37000 for private universities. meanwhile the average ivy league tuition is 78000 a year. even of the average ivy league endowment is $22 billion. critics say the schools will simply raise tuitions higher. >> we are going to continue to fight that. the president has been very clear about the rising price of college education effectively to bring it under control. and he is working on that. but let me be clear about all of this criticism. with a bunch of things in this country this is not a zero-sum game where someone has to fail for others to succeed.
11:09 pm
we have historic tax credits for business tax credits to help those who own businesses and not everyone in america owns a business but we help business owners because we want to promote it. so, what the president is saying for those people who fight, search, go gain in education we are going to help you because education is the best way out of poverty. and you should not be saddled with that that because homeownership is the best way to pass wealth on from generations. so this is about helping working-class people. 90% of this benefit will go to people who earn less than $75000 a year. those of plumbers, electricians, police officers, teachers reach the american dream they want. and remember everything does not benefit everybody. it is about the common good. this president is focused on working families and empowering people to reach their full potential. this it does exactly what he is trying to do.
11:10 pm
jennifer: is a presidents move even legal? here's the present speaker pelosi just last year. >> i am prepared to write off 10,000 dollars debt but not 50. >> mr. president let me ask you because i don't think i have the authority to do by myself. >> people think the president of the united states has the power for debt forgiveness. he does not. he can postpone, he can delay, but he does not have that power. that has to be an act of congress. jennifer: what changed? well congress acted. if you look at the legislation that allowed president trump and president biden to delay loan repayment, is the same legislation that allows him to forgive 10,000 dollars worth of debt in $20000 with of debt to those who have pell grants which is the hardest and lowest income people that are going to colle
11:11 pm
college. it is the same thing. and look, i call it how i it. the same thing that allowed president trump to do it, that allows president biden to do it. jennifer: legal experts expect court challenges. conservative lawyers are looking for the right person or group was standing to sue, will this even hold up in court? >> yes it will hold up in court just like a 2020 election with the president one by over 7 million votes. jennifer: why is the president doing this right for the midterms? isn't this just an election gimmick? >> it is not. what it is doing is empowering people to get an education, lift themselves out of poverty. free up the high cost of the debt they owe to colleges so that they can invest in american dreams, buy a home, invest in their children, be better community members. this is about lifting up america. the president has said from day one he would lift up america from the bottom up in the middle out. the country voted for him to do that. this is not a surprise. we set it on the campaign trail
11:12 pm
that he would do this. he is fulfilling a campaign commitment he made to invest in america's working families. that is what this desperate and look, i just don't understand the criticism we are getting from the right. we have business deductions everywhere and all day long. we just gave in $2,172,000,000,000,000 the top 1% in businesses. 99% of the country did not benefit from the 2,172,000,000,000,000-dollar tax cut. people all across the country are going to benefit from this debt relief. and so it look we are not picking winners and losers. america is a country about the common good. what we are doing is making sure we invest in all of america. right now we are investing in working families. so those viewers out there that are busting their behind's to make ends meet, we are investing in you. we are not going to leave any
11:13 pm
family behind with its rural or urban, that is what this president is going to do. he campaigned on it and he's living up to his campaign commitments. jennifer: congressman thank you for joining us we hope you will come back. >> thank you. jennifer: cap next americans watch in horror a year ago as a chaotic departure of u.s. forces in afghanistan unfolded. we will speak with retired general frank mckenzie. he was ordered to withdraw all u.s. troops about what could have been done differently
11:15 pm
11:17 pm
jackie ibanez in new york. word at this hour from bend, oregon , the scene of a deadly shooting involving a gunman with an assault style weapon. these are the first images from the scene. we're just getting in at this time we've learned three people are dead, including the suspect. it happened late sunday at a shopping center police report. the gunman started firing in the parking lot. before then entering a safeway grocery store and opened fire again, killing two people. it's still unclear how the shooter died, but initial reports indicate police did not fire any shots at the scene. of course, we'll continue to keep an eye on this story as it develops over the coming hours. i'm jackie star mother whose son dylan died in the attack called martha mccalla the message she would like to send to the white house. >> if i could speak to the administration right now i think better planning is what they needed to do. and they did not do that. they basically failed our children. >> were also marking one year
11:18 pm
since kabul fell to the taliban as afghanistan elected government collapsed the former commander of u.s. central command retired general kenneth frank mckenzie who was ordered to execute the withdrawal. general mckenzie welcome to fox news sunday. >> jennifer thank you good to be with you today. jennifer: general mckenzie this was the president on july 8 a month before kabul fell to the tele- band. >> the taliban is not the north vietnamese army they are not remotely comparable towards the capability. there's going to be no circumstantial seeping people being lifted off a roof of an embassy of the united states from afghanistan. it is not at all comparable. jennifer: yet the scenes of afghans cling to the underbelly of u.s. aircraft were incredibly summer to saigon. what could you have done differently from a planning perspective?
11:19 pm
>> and jennifer, what happened in august was not preordained it was not set in stone we made a series of decisions that took us to that point in august read the basic decision was the decision to withdraw completely from afghanistan. there were alternatives to that in those alternatives were not taken. principally the possibility of maintaining a small hard platform of about 2500 u.s. in a significant nato presidents to continue support and that the regional levered to the afghans that would have given us the capability to remain in the country to continue to pursue our counterterrorism agendas and avoid the collapse of the afghan government. we did not choose to do that. subsequently after made the decision to go to zero the decision to try to maintain embassy platform until far too late contributed also to what happened in august. those are two of the big decisions that lead us to the events you just described. jennifer: so in europe and it was withdrawal a mistake?
11:20 pm
>> i advised against withdrawing. my recommendation in my opinion remains of the day was we had the opportunity to remain in the country with a small force. i realize the taliban could have chosen to attack us but i do not believe based on the intelligence i was reading on the time that we would have been forced to add more forces in order to maintain 2500 force level in afghanistan. we would've coupled that with an aggressive diplomatic campaign against the taliban. probably more aggressive than the doha agreement and those negotiations. it had to be a whole of government effort peter means my position with the opportunity to stay keep the afghanistan government afghanistan running. he said if you do kabul was likely to fall the u.s. pulled out all troops, should you in the other generals have resigned to try to stop it? >> we believe kabul would fall if he pulled out our troops. it was just a question of when kabul would fall.
11:21 pm
we have been saying that really since the fall of the year before. it's been a consistent position central command, our subordinates in afghanistan, if we leave they're going to collapse. it was just a question of whether going to collapse. we thought it might be a question of weeks, months but as we got into the summer and the government of afghanistan proved unable to marshal its a will and its forces to defend their country, you sell an acceleration of that timeline. this was not a particular surprise to us. jennifer: general mckenzie we heard over and over no one predicted kabul would fall so quickly. but you issued this warning on august 8 that quote in the last formal intelligence assessment i set up on the eighth of august as it is my judgment kabul is going to fall. i did not think it was going to fall that weekend. i thought it might last a little bit longer, 30 days or so. thirty days would have been did
11:22 pm
they know kabul is going to fall that quickly? when up the chain of command. i'm sure the president saw them for the president of the united states has to make decisions based on a variety of factors. my input was certainly one of those factors i appreciate the opportunity to have had that input. but the president has to make decisions on which a broader range of considerations. jennifer: here's president biden justifying his decision. >> look, let's put this thing in perspective here. what interest do we have in afghanistan at this point with al qaeda gone? >> how did you feel when you heard the president say that and you knew it wasn't true? >> well, our position has always been al qaeda is there because the taliban helps them swallow into afghanistan the first place. certainly al qaeda's been rocked back on their heels in recent years. beth okayed it is still present
11:23 pm
in afghanistan. it also isis is still present in afghanistan both of those entities have a long-term aspirational goal to attack us in her homeland. giving them breathing room to reestablish themselves and reassert their strength we believe they will do that. she seven this is what you told voa. >> if wheatley eventually acadian isis are going to go to afghanistan and the threat united states is going to rise. jennifer: do you think troops will have to be sent back to afghanistan? >> you know, that is a difficult question. i know this, it is in the best long-term interest of the united states to not allow these centers of violent extremism to grow and expand in afghanistan. and i believe under the current taliban regime that's probably what is going to happen. the last time i was looking at intelligence there is a position we had. i followed it like everybody else does now in the newspaper and other sources.
11:24 pm
i see nothing to change that opinion that the threat is growing in afghanistan. it's only a matter of time. jennifer: to what extent is former president trump in his decision to negotiate with the tile man and his repeated calls to his national security team to pull all u.s. troops out to blame for how the war ended? next to jennifer, the president of the united states knows the final responsibility for his actions but i believe he had to presidents of the united states that wanted to exit afghanistan they might not have anything else in common that they showed that common view. the continuity of objective across two administrations that really allow the events that occurred to occur in the matter they did. jennifer: the doha agreement a mistake? >> a doha agreement have the potential to be a useful approach. as long as he applied the principle of conditionality. and by that i mean the taliban had to live up to their half of the agreement. they did not. evident pretty early on they are not doing that.
11:25 pm
we never effectively held them to task for the other inattentive fact was to keep the afghan government out of negotiate a process for it that had a profound deflationary effect on morale both in the government of afghanistan and other forces in the field. jennifer: the suicide bomber at abbey gate was released after you left. you gave the order to leave why did you not close these risen or secure the prisoners there before you left? >> we had no capability to do that. first of all we were not guarding those prisoners there being guarded by the afghans. we had not guarded them for some time. we had to go down to effectively zero but 650 forces designed to protect the u.s. embassy, we no longer have the capability to hold it and oversee and assist those afghans who were sitting on top the prison structure parade that wasn't effect of not
11:26 pm
accepting the argument to stay at 2500. at 2500 we would have been able to maintain and that was eight principle is one of the things that was attractive but sitting at 25 pretty would've been able to maintain oversight not direct oversight but support for those afghans that were sitting in those prisons. all of that went away when we left. jennifer: that brings me too sierra and the refugee camp filled with the balance of isis fighters, their children. what concerns you about that? do you think u.s. troops should still be in sierra? >> so, it's a problem that exists in two dimensions you've got a largely defensive principally women, principally children all very young. the threat of some immediate events that the cholera, coronavirus, a terrorist attack, killing a large number of people is very real part of the same time in a longer deeper dimension the radicalization of children that's occurring in that camp is going to be a gift we're going to give ourselves
11:27 pm
five or ten years down the road as the isis ratifies fighters reappear. we have to find a solution for radicalization and reintegration into society for these children has to be a solution bounded in the region. it's going to be very important sprayed the decision to stay or go in sierra is ultimately a political decision. we went in there for very specific purpose to go after isis read that fight continues not directly with us but rather through our kurdish partners in the region but that is a reason to stay but ultimately were going to have to balance that and is it worth the risk to our forces to keep in there? i would note in an ending if we were to pull out is unclear to me who would first of all help them maintain the camp at secretary who would sit on top of the prison structure in sierra and eastern sierra which holds many hard isis fighters. >> lastly to what extent did the u.s. pull out from afghanistan encouraged hooton to invade ukraine? >> that is a great question.
11:28 pm
i'm probably not an expert on them. i would say everybody sought and drew their own conclusions about u.s. result without also say many times in the past people had drawn conclusions about u.s. result and they have been wrong. jennifer: lastly general mckenzie of the u.s. signs the ironic nuclear deal as it looks like they are going to end sanctions relief is provided, what impact will that have on the iranian revolutionary guard? >> i think will give them added funding to further support their destabilizing activities along the region. jennifer: thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you jennifer always good to see you. jennifer: a year later their main tens of thousands of afghans who were brought to the united states during the evacuation was still neither legal status settled so they can stay in the u.s. one who doesn't this is the baby she is an american born in the u.s. on august 16.
11:29 pm
just one year end one day after the fall of kabul. her father is afghan interpreter who served five years with 82nd airborne. last year there were cheers when johnny and his wife and their three young daughters finally arrived on american soil. they had help from senators thom tillis and chris coons and that wife johnny was mike's translator in afghanistan. was injured in 2010 in two separate ied attacks he lost limbs of been through more than 100 surgeries. now the children of both families play on the same soccer team. even go trick-or-treating together. they represent the very best of america. up next, the presidencies of boosting his approval ratings. but did his return to the campaign trail throw a wrench into his string of wins?
11:32 pm
11:33 pm
sure former president trump is front and center and his first appearance on the campaign trail leading up to the november midterms. and it is time now for our sunday panel. axial senior politics reporter josh, former bush white house adviser karl rove. fox news political analyst juan williams and wall street journal white house reporter catherine lucy. welcome panel. >> good to be with you. jennifer: the president blasted the maga movement he quoted it as similar fascism how similar is this to hillary clinton's deplorable comments? >> i would see if the president said was clearly after januar january 6, 2021. after january 6 you had the reality a group of people, trump supporters to attack the congress of the united states to stop the certification of a legitimate fair election.
11:34 pm
you had people in that crowd who wanted to threaten if not hang vice president pence. you had a situation where there were trump officials pressuring state officials to manufacturer votes and send phony electors to the congress of the united states. i think the people behave that way they can expect to be called semi- fascist, fascist your acting against mensa constitution these united states they are trying to undermine didn't play it but it's important to say president biden differentiated between that group of people and conservative republicans. he said he has worked with conservative republicans on a bipartisan basis on capitol hill on many bills. this week we had an nbc poll that said now the idea that this
11:35 pm
democracy is under attack is a number one concern of american voters. jennifer: kawasaki voter energy. we were on the panel together portion case before the supreme court. back then you said the jury was still out on how voters would respond if a row fell. it did and now we have primary results but is this going to cost republicans in the midter midterms? exit think on the margins yes if candidates don't look like they understand the american people hold two conflicting opinions two thirds of the american people did not run world v wade overturned two thirds of the american people do not want abortions in the second and third trimesters. if you have republican candidates who say no abortions, no exceptions they are going to be in trouble with the voters. but most republicans are smart enough to say do you know what, let's leave it to the states and let's try to find common ground but i have to say one thing though about the previous president biden was attacking
11:36 pm
republicans generally. he was not talking about the people who assaulted the capitol that says to the south of us here. he was attacking the entire party. you saw that in cedric richmond comments we are sort of big we are willing to work with the semi fascist republicans on issues of common ground. this was not in keeping with what the president promised us. my whole soul his and he said his inaugural bringing america together pretty uniting our people, uniting our nation that was after generally six. we must see each other not as adversaries but neighbors we should treat each other with dignity and respect. he was not treating with respe respect. >> karo he was clearly speaking he said clearly i'm not talking about conservative republicans because he did not say that. >> he said that. he clearly acted at people who weren't neighborly and attacked the congress. >> josh sent republicans can cancel ad spending several key states like arizona what is behind this? >> you heard biden's confidence. the fact is now going after
11:37 pm
republican suggest a certain confidence that he thanks emily's republican candidates are too far to the right it's not about the republican party overall it's about these individual racism republicans nominated a whole bunch of trump endorsed candidates. in arizona, blake masters is the nominee trump endorsed he attached nick mcconnell throughout much of the primary campaign. he's trailing in the polls. there's a lot of races like that where republicans are going to have to figure out where to spend the money because some of these candidates are just a little too far to the right of the swing states they are running in. jennifer: catherine, student loan debt cancellation just a plate to get young voters and minorities to come out in november? >> jennifer it you know the president campaigned on this for this is something he had been promising to do something on for a long time. the white house really saw there was a group of people looking for this relief. they are trying to target it to a certain group of borrowers obviously with the income limi limits. so they see this as a policy decision that was important to
11:38 pm
make. i think in some way said thing to think about more with november certainly this could motivate younger voters is a lot of candidates a lot of democrats who are not with this decision. tim ryan is someone who is critical of this. there are democrats to think this be a problem for them in november. so you have that dynamic playing out. jennifer: karl, let's talk about the fbi search of bar lago. we have portions of the affidavit unsealed for national security perspective. there were classified materials found. what cases former president trump have? is he in trouble? >> i think he's in trouble it with public opinion. do note now and generate 15 boxes of return had 184 classified document 700 pages of material did we know the documents that were seized by the fbi in the search of mar-a-lago on august 8 there were 11 packets of classified materials but we do not know how many documents make up those
11:39 pm
packets. now apparently all the classified documents and all the presidential records are out of the hands of mar-a-lago and back in hands of the national archives. i'm hoping he has no on this it would tear our country part of pb indicted particular after hillary clinton was not indicted over the use of a private e-mail server to share classified information. those it document should not have left the white house where they not have gone to mar-a-lago. the residential act of 1970 forbids it. former president trump said they could've had them back anytime they wanted. all they had to do is ask for it will apparently they were asking no later than may and probably earlier. we have a letter now is part of the affidavit that says on may 26 i believe it is they sent a formal letter it's clear from that letter they'd been asking for these documents to be returned. chris is clear the department of justice was justified in the
11:40 pm
step and boy if hillary clinton had done this i think a lot of people's hair would be on fire. jennifer: really quickly josh, catherine legal jeopardy for the president? >> legal jeopardy yes i think the politics are a lot more mixed. it's clear he mishandled classified information is incompetence or malice that such question. >> is a lot of questions we don't have answers to the affidavit did not gives a lot of clues about where this is going. but as i think it suggested they're looking at obstruction of justice which is up to 20 years in prison progress espionage act or think we have to sail this plays out. >> thank you. thanks a panel you next sunday. up next, a bit of good news is we pretty want to introduce you to a researcher who is
11:43 pm
11:44 pm
jennifer: 13 years ago i was diagnosed with stage iii triple negative breast cancer shortly after my son luke was born. on mother's day and 2011 fox news sunday documented our family's journey. next we lost a little bit of innocence this year. but what we gained as a family in terms of them understanding that life is not always fair. and that if you are strong and you set your mind to something you can get through it. i think we gained a lot more than we lost requests many members of our audience has shared with me their own cancer stories. each year in the united states more than hundred 64000 women a year are diagnosed with breast cancer. about 42000 women in the u.s. a die each year from the disease. ten -- 15% will be diagnosed like meet with triple negative and aggressive form that until now has had no drug the could halt a deadly recurrence.
11:45 pm
doctor keith knutson and his team of researchers with initial 13 million-dollar grant from the defense department have made enormous progress on a possible vaccine. it not only might prevent a recurrence of triple negative breast cancer but also may eventually be given to women to prevent all breast cancers. using the body's own immune system. doctor keith knutson joins me now. doctorate welcome to fox news sunday. >> think it's great to be here. jennifer: are we one step closer to a cure question requires a such a breakthrough moment in cancer research and treatment? >> you know, cancer really is a multitude of different diseases. even within breast cancer there are lots of different subtypes of breast cancer. so it is very important to try to understand what you're going to target and how you were going to target it.
11:46 pm
and then go through the steps that you can show you can target it and it can be safely administered to people. it is a challenge and it takes several years to do this. you really need to stick with it and that is the important steps that we go through as we of course research and developing cancer vaccines. jennifer: how do these cancer vaccines work? >> not too unlike an infectious disease vaccine. what's all on her mind right now of course is covid vaccines. it's not really too different than that. what we want to do is identify what is foreign and then use that foreign substance and typically it is a protein and administer that along with an immune activator in some way or another, stimulate the immune system so that it forms antibiotics or t cells or both. and then that gives you the
11:47 pm
power to fight off the disease should it occur later, tomorrow, or at some other point in your life. jennifer: coined by your two most significant trials or breast cancer? >> we have a number of different clinical trials that are ongoing. there are three ways to think about how we approach the development of vaccines. the first way is to use a vaccines to shrink a tumor. the second way is to use vaccines to prevent recurrence in individuals that have been previously treated for cancers. and the third way is to use vaccines to prevent the cancers from the get-go. that's called primary prevent prevention. so the trials are ongoing right now in our group and several other groups across the country are to use vaccines to prevent recurrence. you had spoken about the triple negative breast cancer vaccine that we have it. that is very advanced for us.
11:48 pm
think these two clinical trials the next is phase three clinical trials with the phase two clinical trial was just recently fully accrued. it was treated with a placebo, two thirds of them have been treated with the vaccine. these individuals do not have cancer right now. the idea is can we prevent the cancer from coming back? jennifer: and finally one of the women in your studies telling you about receiving these vaccines and how it makes them feel right now? >> rates. unlike an infectious disease vaccine where you can rapidly assess the population whether there is an infection, we need to wait. so despite the fact we have accrued 290 patients on study, now it really the challenge begins as you try to understand who is going to relapse and who is going to be protected. often times that takes years to
11:49 pm
