hhs remains village and in the face of covid-19, -- hhs remains vigilant in the face of covid-19.hey must also continue to thoroughly vet potential sponsors to make sure they are in a safe environment. let me and on one note: i think we can agree on both sides of the aisle. we need a long-term strategy to extend the long-term state -- beds. this year's search demonstrated the need to expand that network and history shows: this will not be the last time. hhs needs to prepare for this. i want to thank our witness for being here today. it is clear we have our work cut out for us. i am hoping we are back on the right course and putting the well-being of children first and we stand ready to assist in those efforts. i yield back. at this time, i recognize the ranking member for five minutes for the purposes of an opening statement. mr. griffith? >> thank you for holding this hearing, this oversight or the u.s. department of health and human services refugee resettlement management care and treatment of unaccompanied children as well as sponsorship process for unaccompanied children goes

but by law we are required -- we can't by law release them, we must transfer them to hhs and it's hhs'sal responsibility to find a sponsor for those children. i think the stories you are mentioning are individuals who are provided parole through ports of entry and there may be situations that -- but this by and large is not a practice for individuals encountered inside the u.s. >> thank you. in order to address the root causes of migration, we must ensure that there are legal avenues for individuals to come to the united states. can you please expand on the administration's efforts to increase these legal options including reinstating the central american minor's program? >> thank you, congresswoman, i'd be happy to. there are, i would say, three main areas that we're working to expand legal options for residents of central america to be able to come to the u.s. legally. as you mentioned, central american miner's program is one of those for families with parents legally in the u.s. for them to petition to join them through the central american minor's program as the u.s. refugee assista

hhs agency is as guilty as any.any children are in hhs custody today and where are these facilities located? >> as of this morning 8:00 a.m., we had 16,002,150 children in all our our custody and they are in combination of emergency sites in texas and california as well as licensed providers across the country. >> they are spread throughout the nation. >> correct. >> according to hhs, we are spending approximately $775 a day on housing children in these emergency sites. is that correct? >> i don't have the figures but i am happy to check in and get back to you. >> he is from your department, kenneth will so i'm going to use that number until you get back and correct us. are you aware according to the census euro on average the united states spends approximately $35 a day for each american student on education? are you aware that? that's coming out of the spiro. >> i trust you, i don't have that information. >> i would encourage you to that up because it's a staggering number. i live in and represent one of the most

in your short tenure at hhs, mr. secretary, you've already shown how the aca has continued to expand its reach and its positive impacts. 31 million americans now have health care coverage through the aca thanks to our accomplishments over these last 11 years, and more than a million additional people in our country gained coverage over the -- [inaudible] there's still more work to be done. for example, 12 states still have not adopted the law's medicaid expansion and leave vulnerable people without coverage for, in and ms. cases, truly political reasons. i'd like to hear your thoughts -- [inaudible] we recently improved the tax credit for people, but we need to make these investments permanent. that's the kind of action -- the insured population and to help those who are covered thanks to the aca stay covered. while the affordable care act certainly has helped reduce american health care costs, many people still fall victim to surprise medical billing, unexpectedly facing exorbitantly high prices for their care. at t

for hhs, the budget proposed is $131 billion. this budget underscores the administration's commitment to prepare for the next public health crisis to expand acess to affordable health care, to address health disparities, tackle the opioid and other drug crises and invest in other priority areas like maternal health, pry trice ball health and childhood education. the fight against covid-19 is not yet over. even as hhs works to beat this pandemic, we must also prepare for the next public health crisis. to start, the budget makes significant investments in our preparedness and response capabilities, including by investing in the strategic national stockpile. and it provides a mandatory funding for the manufacture of a medical countermeasure here at home to protect americans from pandemic and to create u.s. jobs. the budget also includes the largest fiscal year investment from the cdc in almost two decades. the budget reflects the president's commitment to expand access to quality affordable health care for all americans. those on th

state is not here but hhs is here, and we look forward to a dialogue of why hhs did not contain information or fisma. under current fisma it seems to me that should have been declared a major incident. i'm concerned that members of dhs cybersecurity team who hunt for threats were compromised in this solar winds attack, and that we learned about this not from dhs, not from cisa, but from news reports. mr. wales, i look forward to how cisa specifically was impacted. and we'll refer later to the questions in those specific news reports i'm talking about. finally, it's clear that cyberattacks will keep coming. last year cyberattacks attacked the colonial pipeline, responsible for half of the east coast's fuel. this is the most damaging attack on the infrastructure forever. it shows that cyberattacks can have real world consequences. although our witness are here to discuss about the federal side, i think it's important to know about the attack on the colonial pipeline and how to deter attacks like this in the future. these four recent attacks have shown the sophistication of our adversaries. we

as to who was leaving response fema or hhs. and the lead question for me is who should be charged with leading and managing federal efforts during the prolonged and malls fema certainly has the capability to court innate resources and manpower, which if he was in hhs respective roles be for future similar events. >> has a very good question prayed famous very good where we fail at is being able to collaborate across the federal government to bring right stakeholders together. that's been some of the problems we been facing the recent years. we i think we have more to do make sure that we are working with our partners across the federal government to better understand with the capabilities are rated were the roles and response abilities need to be duly needed to do. so i commit to being able to work across the government and understanding capacity and where the roles and responsibilities need to be defined. >> can you get a little bit more details on that. do you think that needs to take a form up legislation, this conversation

criswell: fema is getting reimbursed from hhs for our support. there has been no funding allocated from the disaster recovery fund. >> how much has fema spent already? ms. criswell: i don't have those numbers. we can add that to the report. >> ok. there have been articles in the news that the $86.9 million dhs contract to family endeavors is under a microscope to see whether it was proper. is fema helping ice, hhs, or any other government agency with the contracts? ms. criswell: i am not familiar with that contract. our role, again, in supporting that mission is to coordinate the federal family involved. >> ok. all right. with that, that is all the questions i have. i thank you for your support of the crisis at the southern border. we need to get that fixed and with that, i yield back. >> the gentleman yields back. the chair recognizes the gentlelady from las vegas for five minutes. ms. criswell: thank you. -- 9 >> it is nice to see the administrator again. we visited with her in the subcommitee. i want to ask about something i raised with the se

plus, a new bombshell report from the hhs inspector general.inding medicare, nursing home deaths skyrocketed nearly 1/3 during the pandemic. that again puts in focus democrat aboves botched nursing home policies like putting covid patients back into nursing homes thus infecting and critics say killing other residents. dr. fauci's ally, peter daszak, he fought to censor the wuhan lab leak possibility, he was removed from a united nations investigation of the origins of the pandemic due to conflicts of interest. daszak reportedly did not disclose his non-profit funding and connections to the wuhan lab. also tonight, why did the nih continue to give millions of dollars to daszak's non-profit after former president trump at that time said no, can sell the money. no more funding. plus native-american business leaders now defending an oil and gas pipeline that the far left wants to defeat. we'll explain that one. and the major outbreak of drug cartel violence and crime just across the border from u.s. cities. seven mexican border towns now rank among

so you had a czar at hhs price before him. alex a czar is an evangelical christian. he was the sponsor lease the white house cabinet prayerib meetings that were bible study meetings that wereet held weekly dever knows about pence obviously. he was put in charge of the covid plan. but i did not understand when all this was happening, maybe so if you do understand but i did not know it, is this red filled usingva evangelical christian so is birx. redfield and birx are actually medics unlike went from said write the w numbers low they're trying to figure out -- we were all trying to figure was going out the testing. redfield is an evangelical christian, birx is an even juggle christian these people cut 13 writing aids. they alarmed themselves with the moralizing anti-om homophobic aids a fight. not birx actually did work pro bono. they have done good things in the aids world. supernatural power was in charge of things but to the former guy wanted pretty wanted to pay back these evangelical christians by putting these people in charge of public health. what is it mimi pu

to address the needs of the southern b border. >> yes that is under hhs.lso this is under your jurisdiction for the committee's benefit we tried to visit the el paso center. it's important to see what's going on to get a good idea of what's taking place at the border. we know that drugs are off the charts cocaine, hard narcotics as border patrol agents they are misdirected to meet this crisis at the border. the humanitarian crisis that we allow who knows what those that come across we don't know their nationality, we don't know they are intent or how much drugs or sex offenders not that we know of. that is why i support boots on the ground technology. with the limited resources, they can redirect their precious resources to the criminal activity if they have better technology i don't know why we don't have more fencing or replacement we have. again, you have a big agency. there are otherr borders as well.. and the maritime border is so important to me among the coastal regions of our nation the coast guard is under your purview. they do an awesome job. the

in my opinion of modern-day slavery i am appalled at the vice president as well as the secretary of hhsif you don't think this is a crisis at the border than what in god's name is? jon, harris went to the northern triangle countries and said the border is closed do not come. >> how is that working for her? it is not. jon: not only that. >> the cartel is neutral they don't care if they smuggle guns or drugs or people. and we do have a serious issue in this country because they are illegal under aged migrants are coming into my stay in michigan and also what's coming to a town near you is all of the drugs because while all the people are being smuggled in illegal and border patrol you sought earlier in your broadcast they don't have the people for those her crossing illegally what about the opioids in the heroine and the fentanyl coming over? do you think there is any correlation for that being at 300 percent? it is cause and effect. jon: we do have some numbers from seizures and in fiscal year 2021, about 65000 pounds of cocaine and 58000 pounds in fiscal year 2020 so fentanyl, 7540 poun

dozen facilities holding a legal immigrants, that is also an issue two, the governor sent a letter to hhsederal government is supposed to do texas is not going to be dragged tuned into federal government service that the constitutional issue. how do you think that will shake out. >> it could end up in court as well is not just the department of homeland security to enforce immigration laws, health and human services or the key part of that and housing the s s migt children and there are so many unaccompanied alien minors that are seeking sponsors for someone to come pick them up to house and to brutally hhs is lowering its standards and its sponsors to pick these minors up which will not end well for these children we've seen this under the obama administration and horrible cases that came of it in any governor governor abbott and other governors they need to step up as well and protect not just american citizens but the unaccompanied children who are coming here because the biden administration is welcoming them and said we will not return them and encourages more parents to send more ch

elizabeth: let's bring in former hhs assistant secretary, bret giroir. here is the other thing.ve government documents, great to have you on. we have dr. fauci's repeated denials in senate testimony last month they were not backing gain of function research but government documents show back in 2002 that he used taxpayer money to fund dangerous gain of function research to pay for a patent on it before the first sars outbreak. the patent came in from dr. robert baer rick from unc chapel hill. why is denying this they had nothing to do with gain of function? >> so thanks for having me on, it was clear from 2015 when a paper was published in one of the most prominent journals of the world, nature, that the nih funded research to combine two coronaviruses with chimeric virus, to make a one. that is gain ever function research. they were funding bat coronavirus research. we don't know what kind of research they did. that is why the congress needs to investigate to determine exactly what what they said they were going to do, what they did and the accountability and controls for the n

what's going on here with hhs saying that but then you have that reaction out of the white house?i had the answers but simply put it looks like they do not care. ie. will add to those numbers we have a huge amount of -- as much as possible and those are numbers that we don't know what the number is but historically it's been more. right now we are looking at 226,000 so if you start adding those numbers we are past trying to figure out if we will call it a crisis. it's chaos mode and it appears the leadership at the white house now not only doesn't care but they may not have a clue. liz: i've seen numbers all over the map tens of thousands. the media finally covering the border harder than they have ever covered it before. the number of migrants that it died trying to make it to the border is tripled since october and thousands die every year trying to make the 2300-mile trek. that's the problem. border crossings at more than 180,000 in may 8 times what it was in may of 2020. they are responding to one fatality week in the rio grande sector so that's the thing. it seems like the me

elizabeth: hhs and the inspector general for hhs did an audit of funding and what happened with the fundinge wuhan lab and other estimates say was a million dollars. >> why are we funding dangerous research inside of the lab and communist controlled china? that seems like a gigantic issue so we need to get to the bottom of that for sure. additionally i do hope the inspector general gives us clear answers on whether or not we were funding gain of function research. seems like we were. anthony fauci told rand paul in senate testimony that he claimed oh no that was not a function of research but it seems like her money went to lab where they were making viruses more infectious to humans and if that's not research i don't know whatch is. elizabeth: he also said the government wasn'tas monitoring what china's doing there in the state department said that lab is working with the chinese military. your final word dense? >> i think it's an overstatement but this feelsls like one of the biggest scandals in american history but if it's true that american taxpayer money is being used to create a pande

so what's going on with hhs saying that, but then you have that reaction out of the white house?simply put, it looks like they just do not care. i will add to those numbers we have a huge amount of got-aways that i've been stressing on as much as possible. and when it comes to got-aways, those are numbers that we don't know what the actual number is, but historically it's been more. right now, year to date, you're looking at 226,000 got-aways. so if you start adding those numbers, we're past trying to figure out if we're going to call it a crisis. it's chaos mode, and it appears that the leadership at the white house not only doesn't care, but they might not even have a clue. elizabeth: yeah, where do we know what the got-aways is? it's in the tens of thousands. the media finally covering the border harder than they've ever covered it before. the number of migrants who died trying to make it to the border has tripled since october. thousands die every year trying to make the 2300-mile trek. that's the problem, border crossings at more than 180,000 in may, that's eight times what

. >> is hhs saying anything about this?that they have, quote, around-the-clock efforts to improve services and conditions. they also went on to say that there are fewer children in these emergency intake sites than there were at the height in april, which is around 14,000 children 500, then and now fewer than 8,000. attorneys say reuniting them with families just isn't happening enough. >> priscilla alvarez, thank you for that status report. obviously you will stay on it for us. >>> cnn has just learned that in a rare move, vice president kamala harris will preside over the senate tonight as it votes on whether to open debate on a sweeping democratic voting rights bill the republicans had vowed to block. earlier this month president joe biden vowed they would lead efforts on this. the vote is expected to fail. >> senator joe manchin says he expects a deal tomorrow on infrastructure. we're going to take you live to capitol hill for both of those developing stories. here's andy g to my goals and making plans. this is us talki

let's bring in former hhs assistant secretary dr. bretty resource. here's the thing, we've got dr.eat if denials in senate testimony last month that they were not, you know, backing gain of function research. but government documents show way back in 2002 that dr. fauci's bosses at the nih did, in fact, use taxpayer money toto fund dangerous gain of function research and pay for a patent on it before the first sars outbreak in china. the patent was coming in from usc-chapel hill. -- unc-chapel hill? why is he denying this? >> so thanks for having me on. i think the evidence is clear from 2015 when a paper was published in one of the most prominent, well-read journals in the world, "nature," that the nih funded research that combined two different types of coronavirus to make one that had never existed. that's gain of function research are. we also know that since 2015 there's been a whole excel spread sheet full of grants funding bat coronavirus research. now, weco don't know what kind f research they did. that's why the congress needs to investigate, to determine exactly what they

"that's it, i can take no more!" >> steve: "that is not my kind of humor." >> jimmy: "good day to you, sir. >> steve: scarlett johansson >> jimmy: that's right "good day to you, sir. >> steve: "i didn't pay money for this." >> jimmy: i should audition for the new "downton abbey" movie. >> steve: you should it's coming out. >> jimmy: right? >> steve: they're shooting it, yeah >> jimmy: they're filming it now. >> steve: yeah >> jimmy: i just want to come in and say, "good day to you, sir. >> steve: and then walk out with gloves in your -- >> jimmy: and then -- well, i should have gloves in my hand, or i should be wearing gloves. >> steve: right. >> jimmy: and then someone insults me >> steve: right. >> jimmy: and i go,

moving those children more rapidly to hhs shelters that are properly equipped to address the needs of unaccompanied children. we are reengineering the process to move children from border patrol facilities to health and human service facilities and to more expeditiously move children from the hhs facilities to the parents and legal guardians who are responsible for their care here in the united states. so, we continue with our success . the challenge is not behind us. but, neither is the progress in reengineering to better improve the system. so, i appreciate that opportunity. >> dhs continues to use the title 42 authority granted by cdc in march 2022 rapidly expel most migrants. when you see the -- when you think the authority will be lifted? are there specific metrics that cdc will use to this decision? >> the title 42 authority we employed to expel individuals and family members at the border is the authority of cdc. it is based upon a public health imperative. it is based upon the ccs vestment -- assessment of public health. daily basis serve as a predicate for our use of that aut

they were sick or not should wear face coverings to protect themselves and to protect each other the hhsmergency chief robert kadlec had reached out to undergarment manufacturers and asked them to convert facilities to produce masks and the goal was to produce 650 million masks which would be enough to send every american around two and they would use the u.s. postal service to send these masks out to every household hoping to politicize the issue and have it be something that everyone could do to protect the country and themselves. when alex azar, modelled it, he was ridiculed and political cudgel and political symbol and we didn't have mask wearing to the same degree as other countries that had more successful responses. in march or april, jared kushner was talking to robert cad atlantic to asking where were the n95 masks and kadlec told him i ordered 600 million masks. it would be tight, the u.s. might be cutting it pretty close. derrick kushner used some colorful language in calling him a moran. he said he thought the country with would be rocking and rolling by july. >> let's talk a

fauci's infamous email to sylvia burwell, hhs secretary last year, dr.. doesn't prevent you catching covid. raises a question, why all of the mask mandates again? >> it is wild to see it. driving across the country last june, people in the middle of country weren't way wearing masks around this has not even born out over the years. it is layeringly a split equal symbol, or here in washington, d.c., the mask mandate was finally lifted, if you don't wear one people look at you in the grocery store, they think you're a republican or conservative. wearing a mask is a sign of virtue signaling. it is not following the science. walking into my house today, so many young children, 6, 7, 8 years old out in the playground wearing a mask. it breaks your heart. elizabeth: follow the science but not political science. it is odd that some are trying to politicize the lockdowns and the mask wearing. it was such an odd tangent to go on when it is really about what is the right way to keep people safe. president biden would say texas was quote neanderthal for dropping it

so, you had a czar hhs price before him. alex a czar is an evangelical christian and he was the sponsor of the-- the white house cabinet prayer meetings that were bible study meetings held weekly in the white house. he was the sponsor of the. these are things i didn't actually know. everyone knows about pence, obviously in tents was in charge of the covid plan. what i didn't understand when this was happening is that redfield is an evangelical christian and so is burke. redfield and burke are actual medics unlike alex. there you see him at the cdc on that horrible day when trump said i like the numbers low when they were trying to figure out what was going on with the testing. redfield is an evangelical christian. brooks is an evangelical christian. they aligned themselves with the moralizing you know, homophobic aides fight. burks actually did work for obama. they have done good things in the aids world, but they are people who ultimately believe there are supranational power are in charge of things and that's exactly what

meanwhile, hhs secretary a basara will head to fort bliss migrant facility today as troubling reportse and abuse. here to react, former acting dhs secretary and heritage foundation visiting fellow chad wolf. chad, good morning. >> good morning. steve: you know, it's interesting, kamala harris last thursday went to el paso and she actually was within about a mile or so of the place that mr. basara is going to visit today. but she didn't go to that place because that place is not the kind of image the administration really wants. >> well, i think that's right. i would characterize vice president harris' trip to el paso as a missed opportunity on a variety of different fronts. she certainly could have visited fort bliss. but she also could have actually gone to the epicenter of the migrant crisis that we see today. and that's rgv 100 miles away from el paso. she could have gone to the donna facility down there, which is where the vast majority of these migrants are being housed and processed. she didn't do any of that instead, she went to a legal port of entry where we know this is not w

julia, what more do we know about the allegations coming from the hhs intake facility at ft. bliss?d harris say they want becerra to conduct a thorough investigation. your sense of what that would look like? >> well, we have known it's been overcrowded for some time. and that's the problem with a lot of these emergency intake facilities is that they're unlicensed by the states and they don't always have a lot of oversight. what we have seen time and time again, and jacob and i covered this when there was overcrowded in border patrol in 2019, is allegations of taking a long time to be investigated both by dhs and hhs. right now, the administration is admitting, yes, it's overcrowded, as far as the allegations in court reports about people being on suicide watch, a list that was almost 30 children long, where they were monitored for their every moves, the poor food, the sleeping conditions, how incredibly hot it's been in there. children trying to run away, all of those are things that are still being investigated, and i just think it's so key that we follow up on that to figure out w

. >> and finally, there was an email from you to the former hhs secretary that had to do with masks. this is getting a great deal of attention. the date is february 5th which is hugely important. she had asked you whether she should wear a mask on a trip and you responded to her, concluding, i do not recommend that you wear a mask particularly since you're going to a very low risk location. that was february 5th. a lot has transpired since then. if you had to go back and do it all over again, would you tell her something different? do you regret that? >> well, you know, john, let's get real here. if you look at scientific information as it accumulates, what is going on in january and february, what you know as a fact as data guides what you tell people and your policies. if march, april, may occur, you accumulate a lot more information and you modify and adjust your opinion and your recommendation based on the current science and current data. so, of course, if we knew back then that a substantial amount of transmission was asymptomatic people, if we knew then that the data show that

michael: we made the decision under the leadership of hhs florida and the government more than a yearturing capabilities and manufacture not only vaccines but antiviral and inter partes and significant investment by the american pharmaceutical and biotech industry that we would make these products before we knew whether they would work. that they did not work, we withdrew them away but when we were losing thousands and thousands of americans on a daily basis, we estimated the economic it cost to our country of $1 trillion a month, investing billions of dollars was a good decision and the decision has panned out. it was only nine weeks between the relief of the dna of this virus and when moderna put the first vaccinated into human beings and that occurred in march of 2020 and my feeling here is what we have seen science winds. and the reality, american science is one it in this enormous investment that our country has made over the decades has paid off. i think one of the challenges we have is continuing increased manufacturing capabilities and distributing these throughout the world.
