>> so garrett, i'd say a couple of points. first is, we -- i think we rolled this out based upon things we were seeing out there. like i said, partially in response to iranian government activity. but we were taking some lessons from work that's done by others. for example, fema often has rumor control op during major dy sas es to dispel misinformation out there. they had fact versus myth, i think, related on to covid early in the pandemic. that being said broadly i think this is an issue for future leadership to look at. i don't think the u.s. government has yet cracked the code on the best way of countering disinformation, and i pointed out the federal government may -- the federal government may not always be the best option, the right trusted voice on these kinds of challenging divisive issues. and certainly for cisa, i'm not sure that the cyber security agency is going to be a trusted voice when it comes to things like vaccine safety and there are other people in the government who are better positioned to provide accurat

garrett, first to you, what is this hangup? the last note i saw involved federal reserve lending facilities at least held up by senator toomey of pennsylvania. >> reporter: yeah, there are a couple of things going on. first, at some point aides will have to put down their pencils and go with what they've got. writing a $900 billion bill takes time, the language is important so you don't trip over yourself at the last minute. the toomey provision is what democrats are blaming for the holdup. the idea is that a fed lending authority that was set up under the c.a.r.e.s. act and has been mostly emptied out as we get to the end of the year, it still has some money in it. toomey wants to make sure no new programs get funded before the end of the year. democrats say he's trying to hang up the incoming biden administration. it's rare that you see one member be so publicly blamed fob holding up a big bill like this but sometimes this is what it takes to squeeze out the last details on a massive piece of legislation which, as you pointed
