not during the trump administration. largely during the obama administration. but as you look at the nato during the trump administration and now, the biden admits, is there a difference in the way the administration's approach their relations with nato? guest: there may be an difference in rhetoric, but when it comes to the substance, i think the difference between the american administration is the same goal. more sharing within nato. the me remind you that in september, 2014, that was during the obama administration, we decided all nato allies should live up to the so-called 2% target. that is, they should invest at least 2% of their gdp and their defense. at that time, only three allies did so. trump stepped up the rhetoric, and he almost threatened european countries come in today, we, i would say, around have of the lado -- nato allies live up to the 2% target. i have no doubt that the biden administration will continue that kind. host: the rhetoric from president donald trump was successful as the nato countries increased their contributions. guest: duri

i hope this administration. imposing henry on the people because i believe there close to an agreement if they do not have to install the henry government which is seen as an extension of the moise government which is seen as corrupt with ties to gangs. >> do you have any confidence that when these elections do occur that they will be legitimate? >> if done in the right way. it is a huge challenge. the elections need to be acceptable to the haitian people or it does not make sense to have them. the security situation itself is going to take -- let's say a year. before people can get out and vote comfortably. but, they need time to reform the constitution. there are two draft constitutions floating around. one is jovenel moise's old constitution, and the others a civil society when they have been working on for years. last time they reform the constitution it took them about five and a half months. they already have a draft and i think they could do that soon. they envisioned two rounds of elections likely. one t

this administration has forgotten them. on top of everything else, these vaccine mandates -- now, we are hearing a lot about that. and we're hearing from people who know they are going to lose their job. many times these are women who are the sole source, the sole source of income for their families. and these families are very concerned about how they're going to handle inflation, collapsing supply lines, how they are going to handle some of the broken social policies that this administration and their allies are trying to sneak into law. so far this year we've seen our colleagues across the aisle and down at the white house try to force through provisions of the green new deal that would bankrupt your average family and destroy economic development opportunities in rural areas. we know that it is expected that the cost to heat your home this winter is going to increase 30%. now, mr. president, how do you handle that when you've lost your job? do you just sit there and freeze? and say you're losing your job because of a fe

this administration has been clear. they want to shut down private prisons and they don't want these people detained. they care for them and get them reunited with families. they get an ngo to accept large groups. >> the ngos know but not the state and local governments. >> i want to chime in quick to defend the border patrol. we're the most visible entity because of the green uniformed and mark vehicle. the border patrol is not shipping people to any state anywhere in the united states. like any other law enforcement, you have limited options once you identify a criminal activity. you arrest the individual and you either release them with something or you detain them or in the case of the border patrol, you deport them. those are really the only options. the reason we get to the point we are today is what tom mentions. when you shut down all your deposition and you dramatically reduce your ability to deport people, then the only option left is releasing them. it's computers, short term holdings. there's no bed, no food

our community administrator, secretary mayorkas and the biden administration have taken this importantstep. still, a change in the law and significant funding will be needed to provide tsa workers with competitive pay that they deserve. i look forward to advancing my bill, the tsa workforce act, and before i close i would also note, chairman i strive to bring diverse commitments before the hearing. there has been diversity among tsa leadership over the years, but only white male administrators have ever been confirmed to lead the transportation security administration. i hope tsa will increase the diversity of its leadership, both for its workforce as well as for the american people. as we look ahead, the missteps of the past two decades will help guide our mission. for secure transportation. i look forward to reflecting on those issues today. before i recognize the ranking member, without objection, i include in the record a statement from the american federation of government employees on the subject of today's hearing. again, i thank our witnesses for joining us and for their honora

administrator?preciate that and with respect to emerging over the past several years the prevalence of the domestic terror threat. with the risk management process and then the impactful it was a change of the threat it was a physical threat and the cyberthreat and then with the directives to the pipeline industry following the pipeline ransomware attack we adjust based on the changes of the threat or the linkages to the intelligence community to make sure we stay ahead we change our procedures and our technology i that is in response to your question. >> and what was presented to the workforce with additional training and resources. >> it presents itself to the workforce in a number of ways the key remedy we have for that is to ensure the workforce has the right tools to do the very important job that they have so some of the technologies we talked about this morning the new x-rays systems those are very important to putting the right tools in the hands of our workforce additionally what is importa

i hope this administration. imposing henry on the people because i believe there close to an agreement if they do not have to install the henry government which is seen as an extension of the moise government which is seen as corrupt with ties to gangs. >> do you have any confidence that when these elections do occur that they will be legitimate? >> if done in the right way. it is a huge challenge. the elections need to be acceptable to the haitian people or it does not make sense to have them. the security situation itself is going to take -- let's say a year. before people can get out and vote comfortably. but, they need time to reform the constitution. there are two draft constitutions floating around. one is jovenel moise's old constitution, and the others a civil society when they have been working on for years. last time they reform the constitution it took them about five and a half months. they already have a draft and i think they could do that soon. they envisioned two rounds of elections likely. one t

but this administration doesn't seem to care. this administration only cares about admitting as many people to this country as possible. so i'm going to turn it back over to the moderator because i know he has a bunch of questions and maybe tom does too. but that's kind of where we are, where we were, and where we're going. again, wish gene was here because he could fill in -- like i'm doing the rocks in the jar, he would be the sand that fills in the gaps in those rocks. go ahead, craig. >> matt, i'm going to jump in. elizabeth will be here with the microphone. there she is. so line up the questions to ask matt. i think matt is happy to answer questions not only on immigration but we certainly spent a lot of contentious time at the doj as well. but matt, actually, i wanted to also -- an entity that's working quite a bit on the immigration issue that you're affiliated with is american first legal. can you talk about kind of just what you guys are doing and what kind of lawsuits on immigration are you guys bringing? >> well, so i'

divide in the administration.recently left and told me this is an administration at war with itself because it can't decide how progressive they want to be when it comes to the border. >> nadia, one of the things we are seeing is the parliamentarian basically axed a lot of the work the immigration advocates want. what is the state of play, given what julia was saying -- i was about to change your name to spanish, hula, but what julia is saying that there seems to be friction within the administration and, again, what she pointed out is so unique that there are so many advocates who were on the outside now on the inside, where do we find ourselves right now with the parliamentarian saying no daca decision? what are you seeing and what are the pathways forward in your opinion? >> well, i mean, right now as you mentioned, things seem to be going wrong for immigration reform. things are not moving forward in congress, on border enforcement, with mcd and title 42. on the other hand last week there was one area where th

house administration committee. would you ever think the smallest committee in the entire congress would be the committee where democrats try to jam 800 page electoral reform bill through? i didn't either until we became in the minority and until i had to sit through hour upon hour with democratic faces with straight faces act like hr-1 was progress. i run the smallest full committee in congress, we have nine members in the house administration committee. three republicans, we're small, but we're tenacious. and i'm also, ironically, the ranking member of the largest subcommittee in congress. my subcommittee on highways and transit has 59 members, it goes to tell you where the priorities are for republicans versus democrats. democrats have turned our committee into a committee that's their leadership's authorizing committee and they've tried to jam hr-1 and electoral policies through the last two congresses and we've fought hard and continued to fight hard to stop this. all of you have been a great re resource for us

this administration, the biden administration, has stoked crisis after crisis at the border, in afghanistan. there is a murder crisis in our cities. and we have an inflation crisis and a debt crisis. and the administration broke the law every step of the way. there is a lot of oversight work that needs to be done when republicans win back the majority in the 2022 midterm elections. i do think that americans not just republicans, but normal, non politically people are really overwhelmed and disgusted by the bureaucratic intrusion over the past year. if the republican party can take control of the house and drag the worst offenders to the floor and grill them on live television and investigate agency negligence and wrong doing and hold the biden administration accountable for its law breaking, then we'll have shown the voters that we can stand up for the people and stand up to the people that they didn't elect but have who have shut down their businesses and are unconstitutionally writing their laws. i think that is our path to winning back the presidency in 2024. proving that republicans bel

it's egg on the face of the biden administration. it's embarrassing to the biden administration that takes special operations forces to go in to afghanistan to save these people's lives and get them out of the country because the biden administration refused to do it themselves. so if they could do it why didn't the biden administration do it? it's embarrassing for them. i can't tell you how many phone calls from l of these private rescue efforts saying we're on the ground. we have americans or others we're trying to get out of the country but we're prevented from taking off to get these people safely evacuated. first of all, the biden administration lied to us. they lied to us from the outset about their ability to withdraw, their ability to leave afghanistan in a secure situation when they left. i remember one day reading intelligence reports say that kabul could fall in 30 to 60 days. it fell the very next day. that was what we found. i served in afghanistan. i've gone back and led codils and we were being briefed by the same gene

the administration, and we've said this before it's interesting to hear this administration use the wordsient but it's a public health policy. let's think about the hypocrisy of which they are applying it. so, 42. we applied it and they said in their words to further reduce the spread of covid-19 into the country from outside the borders, those illegally entering should be removed immediately. immediately on day number one the biden administration, against all science -- look, i'm not a medical expert, but the science is very clear that if you are a minor of 15, 16, 17-years-old, you can carry covid just as an adult. so where is the science on day number one they said if you are a minor, we are not going to apply title 42 so you can come on in. if you are 15, 16, 17 it doesn't matter. come on in. where does that make sense. then you go to the families and right now they are defying their own order when it comes to family. they are releasing 85% of the families right now. every single day right now as we are speaking, there is a family illegally entering the borders that have covid and the

so a more appointed and sustain conversation between congress and the administration any administrationd that end would be helpful. >> and ambassador did you say the prior administration did not dispel to our allies when president trump negotiates surrender they learned about it by reading in the newspaper? if that is correct then and is different but the biden administration had deep consultation so describe that conduct on the relationship with our allies. >> yes. but about the intelligence here at nato? it is a lasting effect of the february 2020 when allies first learned of the agreement with the taliban and beyond that to get the test to include those that were stonewalled. so let me get this straight we have been there for 20 years and the taliban agreement? that will have a lasting stain on our relationship. now it is imperative take a lot of effort. >> i yield back. >> the gentleman's time is expired i now recognize the gentleman from illinois for five minutes. >> thank you everybody for being here. this is important we will face us again someday. if history is a guide and it al

. >> next, the current administrator of the tsa, along with three former administrators, testify about changes at the agency since its creation after the terror a, ta on september 11th, 2001. the administrators talk about increases in security screenings and enhancements in technology for airline passengers. this is two hours and 40 minutes. >> good morning. i want to thank tsa administrator david patoskey and peter nephewinger, john pistole and james lord for being with us today and for their leadership in safeguarding our nation. and let me say that we have never had a symbol before this committee such a group of individuals who have done so much to quiche us as a nation safe 20 years in. so i'm looking forward to that tomorrow. twept years ago, the morning of september 11th, the world discovered the most -- attack in history. thousands of lives were lost and many more was changed forever. in the weeks, months and years that followed, the federal government engaged in a massive effort to reshape your security efforts and respond to new global threats. most importantly, for today's he

the biden administration must treat haitians with dignity. the countries have deep bonds and over 1 million but this year has been a terrible year for the haitians. first a historic earthquake. weeks later the island has been ravaged by the lack of political stability. they are constantly fighting gangsters and crooks that i just want to make a decent living. but despite this unimaginable hardship, it remains an ally to the united states they stand against communist china. haitians and cubans deserve both but where is the united states when it comes to these two? i'm proud to be here today alongside many members of congress who support this call but especially my colleagues on the congressional black caucus. i've not always seen eye to eye with many of them but now today i'm very proud to be standing together with them. i look forward, mr. ambassador, to hear from you and i thank you again forr staying true. >> irn now turn to the chair man of the western hemisphere subcommittee migration and international economic policies. you are recognize

and the biden administration rewards this with a big promotion? mr. president, support for equal justice, support for law enforcement, and support for the innocent people they protect go hand in hand. it's time for the biden administration to get serious about the rule>> the core missio develop sustainable bipartisanio strategies to address the important challenges facing the united states and the world. today, we are honored to be joined by joaquin castro of texas to discuss china, and their goal of diplomacy and public engagement.

the administration clearly intends to repeat the mistakes of the obama administration and re-enter a treaty with iran despite bipartisan opposition and without senate approval. in addition, the administration's repeatedly failed to comply with mandatory sanctions laws. also, let's look at iran. since president biden was elected, according to the international energy agency, iran has doubled the amount of crude oil it's selling to china to 600,000 barrels each day this year. even though these sales are illegal under sanctions laws, the administration has refused to impose congressionally required sanctions on the chinese buyers. take the case of russia, the administration has also chosen to ignore a law requiring sanctions on russia's nord stream 2 pipeline. the pipeline's project manager has been using sanctioned russian entities to construct and finance nord stream 2. meaning the managers' integral role in the pipeline is predicated on a massive sanctions evasions campaign. congress passed the countering america's adversaries through angsts -- sanctions act to punish among other thi

do you know what the biden administration is looking for?uction of mandatory sentences for fentanyl. they are working to prevent that. and as more american kids are dying of overdoses. >> jason: mr. attorney general, they are not going to put up these barriers. they are not -- not only the sheriff and national guard and others local law enforcement, what are the rules of engagement for them? and how do they continue to deal with a massive push of human trafficking, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, what are they supposed to do? >> that's the problem, jason. they can't control the problem because the biden administration is not doing its job. as a result of that, you have sheriff's now being pulled out of the community enforcement, i was talking to ranchers the other day on the border, these aren't california cowboys committees are tough hombres. they don't want all the violence and the people. this is something an arizona backyard now.et but make no mistake about it, it's being a threat around the country. i think it's going to have a desta

and stayed on during the biden administration.y correspondent jennifer griffin live with more. hi, jennifer. >> hi, martha. until last week, ambassador khalizad was the special envoy for afghanistan and talked to the taliban. one of the few trump appointees to remain in the biden administration. zal khalizad was born in afghanistan and talked to george bush about how to overthrow the taliban and negotiated with the taliban leading to the american withdrawal. appointed by president trump to lead peace talks with the taliban. former u.s. ambassador to afghanistan from 2003 to 2005 and to iraq from 2005 to 2007. he headed the bush-cheney transition team for the defense department. he grew up in kabul. he received a ph.d. from the university of chicago. khalizad and mike pompeo signed a peace agreement with the taliban paving the way for the full withdrawal of american troops. if certain conditions were met, including "guarantees and enforcement mechanisms that would prevent the use the soil of afghanistan by any group or individual a

in 2018 and 2019 during the trump administration. before that he was the u.s. attorney for the southern district of iowa. and has a lot of great opportunities. he's with the graves garrett law firm. i give you right now matthew whitaker. >> good morning, everyone. i'm glad to join you today as my fellow republican attorneys. i know that we are mighty and so many of us do important things all over this country, so thank you for being here. this morning was supposed to be a two-person presentation on immigration policy. what we did right in the previous administration and what you're seeing play out on your television screens every day. and joining me was going to be gene hamilton, who anyone who knows gene knows he's forgotten more about immigration law and policy than i ever knew. but he was not able to make it up from georgia. he's watching on c-span and he promised he will text me and tell me what i need to correct. i know some of you can do it as well. it was an honor of a lifetime to be once at the department of justice as the united states attorney for the

his administration is on their side said this before cho labeled the biden administration is one 100%e. it's just you kind this is exactly with the policies are meant to do. a flood of illegal immigrants. now they're going to outrageously offer to sell a lawsuit and pay them for the $50000 per person, this is outrageous. we have to figure out some way to stop it. >> can you imagine the huge pickup and illegal migrants coming to the border once they learn of this? go with your wife, go with your husband and get a million bucks just for breaking the law in america. that is certain to create even more caravans on the way and more illegal migration given that we have already apprehended 1.7 million people this year without the million bucks per couple. >> this administration is turning fundamentals of our constitution on its head. you are paying people a million dollars or more should break the law. they're telling immigrants were not going to deport anybody, give them free healthcare is not bad enough, settle a lawsuit like this with that kind of money, just imagine the flood. there is n

the biden administration giving up on u.s. energy independence. >> i think we're going to see another spoiled thanksgiving and christmas thanks to the inflation that the biden administration is dumping on the american people. energy prices through the roof. our dependence on nations like russia and iran surging. >> heading into the holidays heating up your home could get more expensive, too. the u.s. department of energy says nearly half of households that rely on natural gas for heat will pay about 30% more to heat their homes. charles? >> charles: hillary vaughn, thanks very much. right now we're going to talk about the pain at the pump. it's not just there. prices are getting pumped up. procter & gamble, this morning they had to say they're raising prices on everyday items. john beasley is concern that americans could be dealing this nor awhile. john, forget about the transitory debate. seems like we're dealing with this every day on more and more items. >> yeah, inflation is here for a while, charles. we do a survey of eco

we're seeing that biden administration, and the administration previously failed to engineer societies image, now they try to turn national security apparatus against american people domestically and socially energy the public to confirm with ideologies and standards of places like harvard and yale and federal department of education, american people are standing strang against this -- strong against this. i have talked with hundreds of parents, they are awakening, they are realizing that public school system of the past is no longer the public school system of the present, they got a glimpse to what is happening as schools went remote last year, and they were horrified. mark, i think something real both confident poignant i spoke with parents who immigrated from places like iran, and soviet union. and they told me, this feeling they get from public schools in united states of america in 2021 remind them of their childhood, growing up in repressive abroad, the same brain washing, these people are giving us a warning light, they are flashing a warning light, we have to take action and r

it's not just advocates versus the administration.thin the administration. we know of several dhs officials who have recently left who have told me, you know what? this is an administration at war with itself because it can't decide how progressive it wants to be when it comes to the border. >> one of the things that we're seeing is that the parliamentarian has axed a lot of work that they want, which is a path to citizenship. what is the state of play, given what julia is saying. there seems to be a friction within the administration, and again, what she pointed out is so unique. there are so many advocates that were on the outside now on the inside. where do we find ourselves right now with the parliamentarian if they're saying no path to citizenship. what are the pathways forward in your opinion? >> um, well, i mean right now, as you mentioned, things time to be going wrong for immigration reform. things are not going, moving forward in congress. on border enforcement, with title 42. on the other hand, last week there was one area

the administrator. the ordinance was last amended by the board of supervisors in 2015 and made a number of changes including increases to threshold but not for all categories. i will get into that in a little bit. in terms of some of the major changes i will get into more detail today with you on. a few things. one, i think as president walton presented it increases threshold for certification for l.b.e. firms. our program is currently categorized to three categories. thresholds for micro businesses, small businesses and category called sba small businesses. second changes is minimum competitive and threshold amounts. ensures greater accountable for prime contractors. a number of programs would help increase and build capacity to l.b.e. to participate in city contracting into the future. just quickly to note. here are the changes to the certification threshold that we are proposing. you will see the columns showing different categories of certification and groups and the current level for the thresholds

general mcmaster you have stated administration after administration made fundamental mistakes that leadastrophic results we are now facing. in your opinion of the fundamental flaws in our system to allow these mistakes to be made that delivers best analysis from fundamentally struck flawed strategies as representative of what some people in the intelligence community thought identify with the victim there's intelligence that's developed over times based on wishful thinking. announce the schedule for the withdraw and then enter in a negotiation. there is a problem with the fragmented way is a structural change that needs to be made to avoid that fragmented of evidence. i can help the president make the best decision pretty think we put that in place in 2017 -- 2018. i think that is why president trump made the decision he did for sustainable long-term commitment. in that speech he gave on the south asia strategy. >> the process didn't work he turned around for a. >> you're right it turned out to be unsustainable. it turned out to be unsustainable. so ultimately i think it's not a process

the trump-pence administration. energy independence for the first time in 75 years, the lowest legal immigration animals 40 years stay in mexico policy worked. while building work. eliminating catch and release. now it's process on release. we're going to have a 30-year record of open borders, process release. energy independence, lower taxes, less bureaucracy. the economy was booming. record low on employment for every demographic group in the country. free and fair trade. nato paying their fair share. the world believed that the trump administration would use force appropriately when needed and there was a genuine fear. peace through strength worked. as you look back on all of these issues, all of this now in nine months has disappeared. i knew it would be bad. i tried to warn people. i didn't think would be this bad this fast. >> you took the words out ofis y mouth, sean. i knew it would be bad. we worked our hearts out in that campaign last year. but i didn't know it will be this bad. the truth is from the very

administration. i don't know how that happened, but if you go back to that speech, that was the correct approach for pakistan as well, cut off all funds until it changes its behavior. >> i want to follow it. i know you cannot answer for the biden administration, but secretary blinken accepted a speaking fee from enron con, and obviously the prime minister of pakistan, who has praised the taliban every single day now. should we care about that? is that an issue or a nonissue? does that point to a relationship issue we should have some concern about? >> i cannot imagine him compromising our interests for a speaking fee and i hope that would not be the case. the next person to ask the question is ambassador crocker, because he spent a lot of time there, or take -- or dick armitage. >> ideal back. -- i yield back. >> the gentleman yields back the remainder of his time. i recognize the representative from massachusetts. >> it is a perfect segue to my question. i want to remind the gentleman that just spok

jean: this was during the trump administration. who were speaking out against ice, a terrible institution. they did not care about families. they did not care about what you were standing for. the lawsuit alina filed, i want to say a big thank you to alina. she saved my life. i really do not know much. alina: the lawsuit itself is an incredible testament to the voice that jean gave to the movement. he spoke out and we do not believe anyone should be targeted from deportation, to be jailed, expelled from this country because they chose to speak out and educate us about what is really happening in the immigration system. that lawsuit continues to be pending and we are so grateful that people are listening. they are listening to jean. they are willing to stand up to those who have been -- for those who have been targeted for their activism. amy: jean, the old slogan for your campaign was "bring jean home." monday, they held signs that said "welcome home, jean." today it is, "keep jean home." talk about what is next for immigrants and

yet we have seen both the past administration and this administration, not necessarily enforcing thedatory nature of the sanctions. >> i am committed to enforcing sanctions where we have the proof and evidence to do so but we rely heavily on the council of those at the treasury department and the doj in terms of how that enforcement and also the intelligence that we have at hand. on certain persons with respect to the humanitarian rights crisis that was issued by the administration on september 17th. >> senator, we are committed to finding a peaceful resolution in the situation in ethiopia. the president has issued an executive order and we continue to work with bringing them to the table but it's clear that we are also willing to use that executive order to do so and are committed to keeping you informed as we do so. >> i'm looking forward to the action and i have other questions i will submit for the record. >> the senator for montana is recognized for his office. for the increasing pressure both militarily as well as financially on taiwan whose neighbors in the south china sea and

but yet we have seen both the past administration and this administration not necessarily enforcing the mandatory nature of the sanctions. why not? >> senator, i'm committed to enforcing mandatory sanctions where we have the professor and -- proof and evidence to do so. we rely heavily on the counsel of career lawyers at the treasury department, the doj in terms of that enforcement and also on the intelligence that we have at hand. >> i love lawyers, but they can kill every process in the world. the reality is, is that i find congress's intent is habitually subverted by both the previous things and in some cases this administration. last question. when can we expect to see -- related today executive order on -- certain persons with respect to the humanitarian and human rights crisis in ethiopia issued by the administration on september 17th? >> senator, we're committed to finding a peaceful resolution to the situation in ethiopia and we have -- the president has issued on executive order and we continue to work with parties to bring them to the table but have made very clear that we're

the administration, we said this before, it's interesting to hear this administration use the words we used to when it's convenient but is notot immigration policy, is a public health policy. let's think about the hypocrisy in which they apply it. title 42, when we applied it, the cdc said to further reduce the spread of covid into this country from outside our borders, those illegal entry should be moved immediately. immediately on day one, the biden administration -- i guess all science -- look, i'm not medical expert but the science is clear that if you are a minor, 15, 16, 17, you could carry covid as an adult can so where is the science fair box on day one playset if you are a minor, we are not going to apply title 42 so you can come in. full on public, 15, 16, 17, it doesn't matter, come on in. where does that make sense? then you go through the families, right now they are to find their own cdc order when it comes to family, releasing 85% of the families right now every single day right now as we are speaking, there is a family illegally entering our borders that have covid that

the biden administration inherited endless crises from the trump administration.verything from an insurrection at the capital to a pandemic that was made so much worse by the lack of response from the trump administration. we just voted for a continuing resolution for national disaster relief. 175 of my republican colleagues voted against it. your budget has been zeroed out by some of my colleagues. is that a crisis to you? could it create a crisis for america in terms of preparedness for disasters and response to disasters? >> i do appreciate that. we have the support of the american people. that would have an impact on our ability to protect lives. >> thank you for that diplomatic answer. you are doing nuts and bolts relief and recovery. as the frequency of hurricanes reaching land increased over the last decade? >> what we are seeing is the number of severe weather events continues to increase. it becomes more severe and intense. >> i was looking at some interesting data. in 2017, three hurricanes hit the continental united states. the cumulative damage of thos

talk about the tests involved and explain to the administration's plans. >> you mentioned the administration contracts with some of the diagnostic manufacturers point of care tests and then antigen tests. part of the issue is that it would take time for the manufacturers to ramp up the t production so there's a question of if it will be an effective tool in the short term to address the shortage of the point of care tests that can be taken and have a result within 15 minutes. however the administration has said they anticipate the supply of the tests to double in the coming months. >> how would you rate these tests in terms of accuracy? >> there's a lot of research that has been done. there's multiple tests. some are conducted using technology called pcr, which many people i know are familiar with. the downside is that it will likely take a day or two, perhaps more to get a result back. then you have rapid tests that can be taken at the point of care. there's a little bit of debate over if it catches the point of transmissibility or if you need to have a pcr test to confirm that you don't ha
