the 2020 election. the party that is taking away reproductive rights for women, a party that is attacking families and law enforcement and questioning the fbi as opposed to a party that is about lifting up america to fulfill its best promise, and that's that anyone can live and be the best that they can be, and we want to help people do that and i think the president is writing that wave, bringing down costs of prescription drugs and all of those things, and i think the best thing that he can do and what's appropriate is to dry contrast between what the two parties stand for. >> jennifer: here he is in november of 2020 after he won. >> president biden: it's 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 stop treating our opponents as our enemies. >> jennifer: how does that square with calling his opponent

semi fascists met people compare this to hillary clinton saying deplorables on the campaign trail. he >> cedric: people would say that's dead wrong. the president works across the aisle all the time and gets criticized for it. we passed denver structure bill with bipartisan support. in fact, presidents for decades have talked about passing info structure bill, but he did it with republican support. he just passed a bill to help our veterans with bipartisan support. he passed a chips bill so that we could build semiconductors in this country and secure american independence and leap towards the future with bipartisan support. so he works with republicans and democrats all the time, here's the difference between the last president and this one. this president focuses on people and their families, not himself, so we will work with republicans, we will work with democrats, and i think he has shown that over and over again, and that's what he was saying in that november clip that you just showed, and that's what he's doing every day. >> jennifer: let's talk about student loans the president

announces his plan to forgive $10,000 for borrowers earning less than $125,000 per year and $20,000 for pell grant borrowers. but take a look at the average tuition numbers in recent years. $9400 for public university, $37,000 for private universities meanwhile the average ivy league is 78,000 year even of the average ivy league endowment is $22 billion. critics say these tools will simply raise tuition higher. if >> cedric: we are going to continue to fight that in the president has been very clear about the rising cost of college education and the fact that we need to bring it under control, and he's working on that. let me be clear about all of those criticisms. we have a bunch of things in this country -- this country is not a zero-sum game or some but he has to fail for others to succeed, and so we have historic tax credits, we have 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.

what the president is saying for those people who fight and search and go gain an education, that we are going to help you, because education is the best way out of poverty. and you shouldn't be saddled with that debt because home ownership is the best way to pass wealth on from generations. so this is about helping the working class people. 90% of this benefit will go to people who earn less than $75,000 a year. so those plumbers and electricians and police officers and teachers, this will help their children reach that about the common good and this president is focused on working families and empowering people to reach their full potential and i think that this does exactly what he's trying to do. if >> jennifer: is the president's move even legal? here is the president and speaker pelosi just last year. >> president biden: i'm prepared to write off the

$10,000 debt, but not 50,000. >> mr. president -- resnick i don't think i have the authority. >> 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? >> cedric: well, congress acted and if you look at the legislation that allowed president trump and president biden to delay loan repayment, it's the same legislation that allows him to forgive $10,000 worth of debt in $20,000 worth of debt to those who have pell grants, which is the hardest and lowest income people that are going to college, so it's the same thing. ," i call it how i see iedt. president trump to do it that allows president biden to do it

buried >> jennifer: legal experts expect court challenges. you know conservative lawyers are already looking for the right person or group with standing to sue. will this even hold up in court? >> cedric: yes it will hold up in court, just like the 2020 election, which the president won with over 7 million votes. >> jennifer: wise the president doing this right before the midterms? isn't this just an election gimmick? >> cedric: it's not. what it's doing is empowering people to get an education, lift themselves out of poverty, free up the high cost of the debt that 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 and the president said from day one that he would lift up america from the bottom up in the middle out in the country voted for him to do that. if so this is not a surprise and we set it on the campaign trail that he would do this, and he's fulfilling a campaign commitment that he made to invest in america's working families and

this is what this does. and i just don't understand the criticism that 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 to the top 1% and businesses 90% of the country did not benefit from the 2017 $2 trillion tax cut. are going to benefit from this debt relief. and so look, we are not picking winners and losers. america is a country about the common good, and what we are doing here is making sure that we invest in all of america, and right now we are investing in working families, so those viewers out there that are busting their behinds to make ends meet, we are investing when we are not going to leave any family behind, whether it's rural or urban, that's what this president is going to do. he campaigned on it and he's living up to his campaign commitments buried

administration right now, i think better planning is what they needed to do and they did not do that. they basically failed our children. >> jennifer: we are also marking one year since koppel fell to the taliban as afghanistan's elected government collapsed during the pull out of the american military. joining us now is 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." >> general mckenzie: jennifer, thank you, it's good to be with you today. >> jennifer: general mckenzie, this was the president on july 8th, a month before koppel fell to the taliban. >> president biden: the taliban is not the north vietnamese army. they are not remotely comparable in terms of capability. there's going to be no circumstance where you see people lifted off the roof of an embassy of the united states from afghanistan.

it is not at all comparable. >> jennifer: and get the scenes of afghans clinging to the underbelly of u.s. aircraft were remarkably similar to saigon. what could you have done differently from a planning perspective? >> general mckenzie: jennifer, what happened in august was not preordained, it was not set in the stars. we mitt a series of decisions that took us to that point in august. the basics edition was the decision to withdraw completely from afghanistan. there were alternatives to that and those are alternatives that were not taken. principally that the possibility of maintaining a small hard platform of about 2,500 u.s. in a significant nato presence to continue to support at the ministerial level and the regional level to the afghans. that would have given us the capability to remain in the country, to continue to pursue our counterterrorism objectives, and we believe avoid the collapse of the afghan government. we did not choose to do that. subsequently, after we made the decision to go to zero, the decision to try to maintain an

embassy platform until far too late to contribute it also to what happened in august. those are think two of the big decisions that lead us to the events that you just described in august. >> jennifer: so in your opinion was the withdrawal a mistake? >> general mckenzie: i advised against withdrawing. my recommendation in my opinion, and it remains so today, was we had the opportunity to remain in the country with a small force. i realize the taliban could very well have chosen to attack us, but i do not believe based on intelligence i was reading at the time that we would have -- that we would have been forced to add more forces in order to maintain a 2500 force level in afghanistan. we have coupled that force level with an aggressive diplomatic campaign against the taliban, probably more aggressive than the agreement in those negotiations. it would have had to of been a whole government effort but it remains my position that we had the opportunity to stay, keep the government of afghanistan running. >> jennifer: if you knew that koppel was likely to fall if the

u.s. pulled out all troops, should you and the other generals have resigned to try and stop it? >> general mckenzie: we believe that koppel would fall if we pull out our troops. it was just a question of when koppel would fall and we have been saying that really since the fall of the year perform. that had been a consistent position of central command, our subordinates in afghanistan that if we leave, they are going to collapse. just to question of when they're going to collapse and 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 will and its forces to defend their country, you saw an acceleration of the timeline but it was not -- this was not a particular surprise to us. >> jennifer: general mckenzie, we heard over and over that no one predicted kabul would fall so quickly. but you issued this morning on august 8th that "in the last formal intelligence assessment i set up on the eighth of august, i said it is my judgment that

koppel 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." general, 30 days would have been september 7th, before the 28th anniversary of 9/11 when the president wanted all troops out. if to the president know koppel was going to file that quickly? >> general mckenzie: look, i'm confident that my assessments went up the chain of command. i'm sure the president saw them. the president of united states estimate decisions based on a variety of factors. at my input was certainly one of those factors and i appreciate the opportunity to have had that important, but the president is going to have to make decisions based on a much broader range of considerations. >> jennifer: here is president biden justifying his decision. >> president biden: look, let's put this thing in perspective here. what interest do we have in afghanistan at this point with al qaeda gone? >> jennifer: how did you feel when you heard the president say that, you knew it wasn't true?

>> general mckenzie: well, our position has always been that al qaeda is there because the taliban host them. that's why w went to afghanistan in the first place and they've been rocking back on their heels in recent years but al qaeda is still present in afghanistan and also isis is still present in afghanistan and both of those entities have a long-term aspirational goal to attack us in our homeland and given the breathing room to reestablish themselves and reassert their strength, we believe they will do that. >> jennifer: here's what you told voa. >> if we leave, eventually al qaeda and isis in particular are going to go into open space in afghanistan and the threat the united states is going to rise. >> jennifer: do you think troops will have to be sent back to afghanistan? >> general mckenzie: you know, that's a -- that's 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's going to happen. the elastomers looking up intelligence, that was a position we had, i follow it now, but i see nothing to change that opinion that the threat is growing in afghanistan and it's merely a matter of time. >> jennifer: to what extent is former president trump and his decision to negotiate with the taliban and his repeated calls to his national security team to pull all u.s. troops out to blame for how the war ended? >> general mckenzie: jennifer, the president of united states owns the final responsibly for these actions. i believe we had two presidents of united states that wanted to exit afghanistan and they might not have had anything else in common, but they shared that common view, so you had a continuity of objectives across two administrations that really allowed the events to occur to occur in the manner that they did. it >> jennifer: and the agreement, a mistake?

>> general mckenzie: the delhi agreement had the potential to be a useful approach as long as we pride the principle of conditionality and by that i mean that the taliban had to live up to their half of the agreement. they did not. it was president pretty early on that they were not doing that but we never effectively help them to task. the other unintended effect of the doga agreement was to keep the afghan government out of the process under believe that had a profound deflationary effect most in afghanistan and their forces in the field. >> jennifer: the suicide bomber was released from the airbase prison after he left. you gave the order to leave. why did you not close the prison or secure prisoners before you left? >> general mckenzie: we had no capability to do that. a first of all, we were not guarding those prisoners, they were being guarded by the afghans. we had not guarded them for some time. when we had to go down to effectively zero, but actually

650 forces designed to protect the u.s. embassy in kabul, we know longer have the capability to hold bob from and to oversee and assist those afghans who were sitting on top of the prison structure. that was an effective going and not accepting the argument to stay at 2500. at 2500 we would have been able to maintain problem that was a principal -- that was one of the things that was attractive about staying at 2500. we would have been able to maintain oversight. not direct oversight, but support for those afghans that were sitting on those prisons. all of that went away when we left. >> jennifer: that brings me to syria and the refugee camp filled with the families of isis fighters, their children. what concerns you about that, and do you think u.s. troops should be in syria? >> general mckenzie: so i think it's a problem that exists in two dimensions. a largely defenseless population, principally women, principal children, all very young. the threat of some immediate event to them, be at cholera,

coronavirus, a terrorist attack and killing large numbers of people is very real. at the same time and along the deeper dimension, the radicalization of children that's occurring in that camp is going to be a gift, we are going to give ourselves five or ten years on the road as these isis radicalized fighters reappear. we have to find a solution for radicalization and reintegration into society for these children and it has to be a solution founded in the region, and that's going to be very important. so the decision to stay or go in syria is ultimately a political decision. we went in there for a very specific purpose, to go after isis. that fight continues, not directly with us but rather through our kurdish partners in the region. so that's a reason to stay, but ultimately we are going to have to balance that and determine is it worth the risk to our forces to keep them there. i would just note in the ending that if we were to pull out, it is unclear to me would first of all help the kurds maintain the camp, and second, who would sit on top of the prison structure

in syria, eastern syria, which holds many hardened isis fighters. >> jennifer: lastly, to what extent did the u.s. pullout from afghanistan encourage putin to invade ukraine? >> general mckenzie: that's a great question, and probably not an expert on that. i would say that everybody saw it and drew their own conclusions about u.s. resolve. i would also say that many times in the past people have drawn conclusions about u.s. resolve and they've been wrong. >> jennifer: lastly, general mckenzie, if the u.s. signs the iran nuclear deal as it looks like they are going to and sanctions relievers provided, what impact will that have on the iranian revolutionary guard corps? >> general mckenzie: i think it will give them added funding to further support their destabilizing and malign activities across the region. >> jennifer: thank you, general mckenzie, thank you for joining us this morning. >> general mckenzie: thank you, jennifer, always good to see you. >> jennifer: a year later, there remain tens of thousands of afghans who were brought to

the united states during the evacuation who still need their legal status settled so they can stay in the u.s. one who doesn't, she's an american-born in the u.s. on august 16th just one year and one day after the fall of kabul. her father is afghan interpr interpreter, who served five years with the 82nd airborne. last two were cheers when he and his wife and their three young daughters finally arrived on american soil. they had help from senators thom tillis and chris coons and the wife of army sergeant michael. he was mike's translator in afghanistan. injured in 2010 in two separate ied attacks, he lost limbs and has been through more than 100 surgeries. now the children of both families play on the same soccer team and even go trick-or-treating together. they represent the very best of america.

how similar is this to hillary clinton's deplorable comment? >> i would say, you know, what the president said was clearly after january 6th 2021. hillary clinton spoke before january 6th, 2021. after january 6, you had the reality that there were a group of people, trump supporter's, who attacked the congress of the united states to stop the certification of a legitimate, fair election. you had people in the crowd who wanted to threaten if not hang vice president pence. you had a situation where trump officials were pressuring state officials to manufacture votes and send phony electors to the congress of the united states. i think if people behave that way, then they can be -- they can expect to be called semi fascist, fascist, because it's antidemocratic action. you are acting against the constitution of these united states. and i think, you know, without being dramatic, that's how

democracy dies. they were trying to undermine, to support this constitution, and i think -- we also didn't play it, but i think it's important to say that president biden differentiated tween that group of people and conservative republicans. he says he's 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 democracy is under attack is a number one concern of american voters. >> jennifer: karl, let's talk about voter energy. when we were on the panel together last december at the mississippi abortion case was before the supreme court. back then you said the jury was still out on how voters would respond if it fell. it did, and now we have primary results. if this going to cost republicans in the midterms? >> i think on the margins yes. if candidates don't look like they understand that the american people hold two conflicted opinions. two-thirds of the american

people did not want roe v. wade overturned and two-thirds don't want abortions in the second and third trimesters so if you have candidates, republican candidates, who say no abortions, no exceptions, than they are going to be in trouble with the voters, but most republicans are smart enough to say, you know what, let's leave it to the states and let's try and find common ground. i have to say one thing though about the previous -- joe biden, president biden was attacking republicans generally. he was not talking but the people who assaulted the capital that sits to the south of us here. he was attacking the entire party and you saw that in cedric richmond's comments, who said we are really 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 is in it, he said, in his inaugural, bringing america together, uniting our people, uniting our nation. that was after january 6th, we must see each other not as adversaries but as neighbors, treat each other with dignity and respect. he was not treating his

political -- >> he clearly was seeking -- he said clearly i'm not talking about conservative republicans. >> he didn't say that. >> he said that buried him and also he clearly acted at people who were neighborly and attacked the congress. >> jennifer: josh, senate republicans canceled ad spending in several key states like arizona, what's behind this? >> you heard biden's confidence the fact that he is now going after republican suggests a certain confidence that he think some of these candidates are too far to the right. it's not about the republican party overall, it's about these individual races or republicans nominated a whole bunch of trump-endorsed candidates. in arizona, blake masters, the nominee, trump-endorsed -- he attacked mitch mcconnell throughout much of the primary campaign. he's trailing in the polls. there are 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 bit too far to the right of the swing states that they are running in. >> jennifer: catherine, is student loan debt cancellation

just a play to get young voters and minorities to come out in november? >> well, jennifer, you know that the president campaigned on this, something he'd been promising to do for a long time in the white house really saw that there was a group of people who were looking for this relief they tried to target it to a certain group of borrowers obviously with the income limits, so they see this as a policy decision that was important to make. i think in some ways the thing to think about more with november is certainly this could motivate a certain group of voters, but there's a lot of candidates, a lot of democrats, who aren't huge fans of this decision. tim ryan, exactly, is someone who's been critical of this, and so there are democrats who think this could be a problem for them in november, so you have that dynamic playing out. >> jennifer: karl, let's talk of at the fbi search of mar-a-lago. we now have portions of the affidavit unsealed. from a national security perspective, there were classified materials found. what case does former

president trump have, is he in trouble? >> i think is in trouble with public opinion. we do know now that in january, 15 boxes that were overturned had 184 classified documents, 700 pages of material. we know the documents that were seized by the fbi in the search of mar-a-lago on august 8th, that there were 11 packets of classified material. we don't know how many documents make up those 11 packets, we don't know how many pages, but now apparently all of the classified documents and all of the presidential records are out of the hands of mar-a-lago and back in the hands in the national archives. i hope is that the president -- the former president has no control over this. particularly after hillary clinton was not indicted over the use of a private email server to share classified information. but those documents should not have left the white house, they should not have gone to mar-a-lago. the president of record act forbids itself. and the former resident himself

♪ ♪ >> jennifer: 13 years ago i was diagnosed with a stage three triple negative breast cancer shortly after my son luke was born. on mother's day in 2011, "fox news sunday" documented our families journey. >> we lost a little bit of innocence this year, but what we gained as a family in terms of them understanding that life isn't always fair and that if you're strong and you set your mind to something, you can get through it. i think we gained a lot more than we lost. >> jennifer: many members of

our audience have shared with me their own cancer stories. each year in the united states more than 264,000 women a year are diagnosed with breast cancer, about 42,000 women in the u.s. die each year from the disease. 10-15% will be diagnosed like me with triple negative, and aggressive form that until now has had no drug that can halt a deadly recurrence. dr. keith knutson and his team of researchers at the mayo clinic in florida, with an initial $13 million grant from the defense department have made enormous progress on a possible vaccine. ed not 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. dr. keith knutson joins me now. doctor, welcome to "fox news sunday." >> dr. knutson: thank you, it's great to be here. >> jennifer: are we one step closer to a cure? why is this such a significant

breakthrough moment in cancer research and treatment? >> dr. knutson: well, you know, cancer is really just a multitude of different diseases and even within breast cancer there are lots of different subtypes of breast cancer, and so it's very important to try to understand what you're going to target and how you're going to target it and go through the steps you can show you can target it and it can be safely administered to people, and it's a challenge and it takes several years to do this, and you really need to stick with it and, you know, that's the important steps that we go through as we of course research in developing vaccines. >> jennifer: how do these cancer vaccines work? >> dr. knutson: not too unlike an infectious disease vaccine, so what's all on her mind right now is covid vaccines, and it's not really two different than

that. and what we want to do is identify what is foreign and then use that foreign substance, typically a protein and administer that an immune activator, stimulate the immune system so that it forms either antibodies or t cells, or both. and then that gives you the power to fight off the disease should it occur later or tomorrow or, you know, at some other point in your life. >> jennifer: tell me about your two most significant trials for breast cancer. >> dr. knutson: we have a number of different clinical trials that are ongoing, and there's three ways to think about how we approach the development of vaccines. if the first way is to use vaccines to shrink a tumor. if the second way is to use vaccines to prevent occurrence in individuals that have been previously treated for cancers.

the third way is to use vaccines to prevent the cancers right from the get-go. that's called primary prevention. the trials that are ongoing right now in our group and several other groups across the country, are to use vaccines to prevent occurrence. you had spoken about the triple negative breast cancer vaccine that we have. that's very advanced for us, phase two clinical trials. the next step is phase three clinical trials and the phase two clinical trials were recently fully accrued, so we have 290 patients. several of those patients have been treated with placebo, two-thirds of them have been treated with the vaccine. these individuals don't have cancer right now. the idea is can we prevent the cancer from coming back? >> jennifer: and finally what are the women in your studies telling about receiving these vaccines, how it makes them feel right now? >> dr. knutson: right, so unlike an infectious disease

vaccine where you can rapidly assess in the population whether there's an infection, we need to wait. so despite the fact that, you know, we have accrued the 290 patients on study, now the challenge begins trying to understand who's going to relapse and who's going to be protected. oftentimes that takes years to evaluate. we probably got another two or three more years where we will be evaluating these patients to see if the vaccine has an activity. >> jennifer: can you see one day where we can actually have a cure for cancer, and will these vaccines play a role? >> dr. knutson: absolutely. absolutely. so in recent times there's been a tremendous amount of effort from not just our laboratory, but other laboratories around the country to using the knowledge that we now have with respect to the immune system and what we can target in cancer to develop vaccines that can

prevent cancers from happening in the first place. so our team is partnering with the national breast cancer coalition and the national cancer institute to develop a primary prevention vaccine for breast cancer. we are not just talking about triple negative breast cancer, we are talking about all of the breast cancers, the 260,000 cases per year that was initially brought up as the number of cases in the u.s. that we have every year with breast cancer and preventing that, or at least rapidly reducing the incidence so that we don't have to deal with the advanced stages of the disease. >> jennifer: well, dr. knutson, from my family and from all women in the united states thank you very much. >> dr. knutson: thank you. >> jennifer: up next... ♪ ♪ ukrainian refugees use their musical talents to send a
