karine: that is with the doj as we talk about travel and medication with the health and human services. we leave it to them to enact what the president puts forth in executive orders. the president is updated regularly. there is a task force that is created by one of his executive orders. they met a couple days ago and the president made another executive order on the medicare waiver that will help low income women get the health care and be able to pay for the health care they need. it is also under the purview of hhs. it will have all the information there. the doj would be better to answer that question, hhs, and the president is updated but they hold that information. >> has served in any -- i do not want to call them hotspots, but is there confirmation that levels are up? maybe you are getting a lot of complaints from hhs? karine: and do not have any specific information. i would refer you to hhs. andrew. >> two questions. yesterday, senator graham tweeted what he called the war of advice to democrats and said if you expect the cr to deliver payoff with the votes that he would --

you, as president joe biden has assigned an executive order, instructing his health and human services factory to help women who have to leave their state in order to get an abortion states will be able to apply for waivers to treat patients from parts of the u. s. where abortion access has been banned or limited. biden's 2nd executive order on abortion, since the u. s. supreme court overturned the roe. v wade bullying you have. how speaker nancy pelosi has ended her controversial visit to taiwan. america stud, most powerful politician, was there for less than a day dressing. washington support for the cell full territory. china, which had strongly warned against the trip, has now started military maneuvers around the island marshes, formed minister sir gala, always reaffirmed his country support from me and my military government during a visit to the capital. nate, the dual washer is a key supporter, an om supply to me in mos regime, which came to power in a coup in february last year. rover's holding talks of the military june to, to discuss security and economic issues. meanwhile,

axios says that they want to ensure the department of health and human services considers all appropriate action to make sure health providers follow nondiscrimination laws so that patients can receive care without delay. another opposing viewpoint is coming from the national review. writing in a recent opinion online said this, while i am certain democrats are overreaching. i offer pro-lifers a word of caution. don't let republican politicians to consider this as evidence that abortion is toxic. it is not indicative of how americans feel about abortion policy. the democratic party is out of step with their own party's on abortion. this debate is a messaging battle and will be more successful in the long run if we highlight the grotesque extremism on the other side. georgia starts us off on the independent line. we will hear from bill. caller: good morning pedro. thank you for taking my call. abortion is a very important issue in this upcoming election and i feel strongly that we have let the people down of this country. our democracy is hanging in the balance. when we can have three or f

human service agency and any emergency response is responsible for providing care and shelter. in terms of covid-19, i remember the early days mary ellen said you need to get to the eoc and said what is our role. we need to figure housing for people who need to isolate. jesus, of course. so under covid what does care in shelter mean? one is help manage the surge so people who were not sick enough to be in the hospital but didn't have a place to go had a place to go so the beds are reserved for people who needed to be hospital izsooed. the second is protect vulnerable individuals who couldn't isolate on their own which is experiencing homelessness and slow the spread of covid by providing rooms for people living on the streets. somewhere the had idea approaching hotels and saying you are hundred percent vacant you want to lease the hotels to us? fast forward from that idea to the mayor presenting to hotel council asking them for their hotels. fast forward a little more, we ended up putting up 2408 rooms in 25 hotels across the city. another 538 hotel rooms across 3 hotels for is

s. department of health and human services roles out regulations on their execution towards prices in the us are higher than a lot of comparable economies was of impact is that having for patients in america as he to say is the prices are for medicines. here the united states are very high and according to a report, a last year published by the year as a government there, they are 2 to 4 times higher than in australia, friends or canada. but it's really a lot. and among the most effective people are of course seniors because they usually need more medication due to their age, but also people with chronic illness who as statistically usually come from lower income families. so they have sometimes to make decisions. very serious decisions about either food or medicines or how to pay the rent or, or buy their medicines. as you say, the fall or industries not to into this bill. is it? but is there a lot of hope beyond the pharma industry fast it will have an impact on those very high prices for patients or to answer that question, it's important to see why the folk was, is the core of thi

within the health and human services agency that cares for children, a man named jonathan white oversaw the program that had kids in federal custody, he found out about the proposal to separate families in an early and rare beauty where you actually had dhhs invited -- meeting where you actually had dhhs invited. the programs have to work together but they do not play altogether. dhhs has backgrounds eight child welfare and sitting in the room with cops who do not tend to get along, they have this thought relationship that is detrimental for all sides. -- fraught relationship that is detrimental for all sides. he starts writing a report talking about the fact that the agency did not have enough space to house children who were separated, who tend to be younger than those who cross the border on their own. they do not have the resources to deal with this emotional fallout that is anticipated by any expert familiar with child welfare and what a kid is going to be in when they are separated from their parents. children do not have anywhere to go. a child who chooses to the cross the border

so it's the department of emergency management, the department of public health, and our human servicestners, so primarily the department of homelessness and supportive housing and human services agency. so it's sort of a three-headed command in which we are coordinating and operating everything related to covid response. and now, of course, in this final phase, it's mass vaccination. the first year was before the pandemic was extremely busy. the fires, obviously, that both we were able to provide mutual support but also the impact of air quality. we had, in 2018, the worst air quality ten or 11 days here in the city. i'm sure you all remember it, and then, finally, the day the sun didn't come out in san francisco, which was in october. the orange skies, it felt apocalyptic, super scary for people. you know, all of those things, people depend on government to say what's happening. are we safe? what do i do? and that's a lot of what department of emergency management's role is. public service is truly that. it is such an incredible and effective way that we can make change for the most v
