hillary vaughn on capitol hill. hillary, have we heard anything out of that meeting yet?dout after this zoom meeting between president biden and russia's president vladmir putin. there are questions whether or not this zoom diplomacy is actually going to be effective. while the biden administration officials say that the point of this call is to say there will be very real costs if russia would take military action against ukraine, he will also lay out a range of actions to putin that the u.s. and its allies would take including additional sanctions if russia invades ukraine. but some republican lawmakers here on capitol hill are calling into question whether or not biden is using all of the tools at his disposal. one of the economic sanctions and leverage issues that they want to see him use is energy. they say we should b ramping up our energy production here in the u.s. to put russia in a tough spot. >> let's say i don't think he is quaking in his boots but joe biden has no one to blame but himself for this situation in russia on the ukraine border. all year long he ha

back better plan is going to cost a whole lot more than the president says it's going to cost hillary vaughnood news for democrats, are they trying to spin it. >> is not good news for people who are worried about the price tag and whether or not it's fully paid for. democrats don't really want it done. if the social program in the build back better bill are made permanent and don't go away after a few years like the plan it would add $3 billion to the debt and cost a whopping $4.9 trillion, it would not be fully paid for but democrats are disputing the details, speaker pelosi said the c.b.o. scoring an imaginary bill and leader chuck schumer said the republican requested safety c.b.o. score does not take into account the president biden and democrats have committed any extension of the build back better act in the future will be fully offset, therefore ensuring it will not increase the deficit. i asked senator lindsey graham, the republican who spearheaded the score in the first place what his reaction is to the democrats explanation. >> number one chuck schumer and nancy pelosi could give a

we saw the reagan international where hillary vaughn was. it is crowded. okay, so let's pivot here.rs? do you have that story? susan: there will be a vote at the next shareholder meeting about use of non-disclosure contracts or harrassment or discrimination cases. it still needs to be voted on and approved by shareholders. in my experience at shareholder events i wouldn't expect it to pass. i would say shareholders vote with management probably 99.9% of the time. citi hiking the target price of apple. citi is worth $200 with numerous catalysts, possibly like the ar, vr goggles and glasses. many are anticipating in a apple car. lauren: what is the high on the street for apple? is it 210 or to above that? susan: i think 210. lauren: two brokerage services with 210. this boggles my mind, no it doesn't, how we live these days. stolen covid relief funds. how much money are we talking about? susan: it's a lot. $100 billion in covid fraud. the secret service said only recovered $1.2 billion. that is roughly 1% they have gotten back so far. you have to remember that congress gave out $2.2 t

hillary vaughn is on capitol hill for us, breakdown the numbers again for us, please how much exactly cbo score of the house version of the build back better bill. the cbo says the current immigration proposal that would grant essentially parole to illegal immigrants, safeguarding them from deportation says 6.5 illegal immigrants wobble inable under this proposal as written who arrived in the u.s. before 2011 would cost about $115 billion over the first 10 years but if it was extended another decade, the cost over 10 years would more than double the $369 billion, but the biden administration is still waiting to see if the immigration provision is allowed to be included in the reconciliation package so there is a chance that if the senate parliamentari an roles can't include it and it will actually get left out of the build back better bill and senate democrats and house democrats are going to figure out how to pass an immigration proposal through regular order which means convincing republicans to vote for it. stuart? stuart: with great difficulty i suspect right? hillary thanks very

hillary vaughn our correspondent on capitol hill talked to the senator shortly thereafter and she had or freeze any new government spending? >> uh, i think you look at this the wrong way. when we have a growing debt load, it's because the revenues coming in don't match the expenditures, and one thing we need to do is to get the billionaires to actually pay income tax. jeff bezos claims, despite being one of the richest people in the world that he only had $83,000 in taxable income last year. and, therefore, paid almost nothing. elon musk, in the most recent year we have data for paid zero in federal income taxes. so, yeah, we have a debt problem bus but we have a debt problem partly because the very richest people just aren't paying. lawrence: that's a lie. such a lie. the top 1% pay 40% of all federal taxes. this is why elon musk tweeted in response please don't call the manager on me senator karen. and this is referring to also, guys, the fact that the democrats, part of their plan on how they are going to collect all this money they plan on hiring this new group of irs agents to do
