and joining us now, the president's national security advisor jake sullivan. lcome back to. >> chris: jake, as david just reported, on friday morning, the president indicated that he was going to stick with the refugee cap set by president trump last year. not the 62,500 refugees the administration promised in february to allow into the u.s., but instead just 15,000 refugees this year. then, under a storm of criticism, the president backed down within hours friday afternoon and said he will set a higher cap in may. jake, what happened? >> jake: well, first of all, we faced two problems when we came in. there was the problem of the cap, 15,000 and there was a problem of the allocation, which was that the trump administration had said zero people can come from africa, effectively zero people could come from the middle east and so the president wanted to go with this into steps. the first step was to change the allocation so that people in africa could literally get on planes this week and the second would be to raise the cap as we were fixing the system and its p

here is national security adviser jake sullivan on with chris wallace on fox news sunday. >> not only do we get people on planes immediately by changing those allocations which were rooted and xenophobia and even racism but also that we raise the cap. he has commit today that and he will follow through on that. >> and as eric mentioned yesterday was the first time we heard the president at least on camera call what's happening on the southern border where rich is a crisis. the white house resisted for months calling it a challenge instead but this is when the president used the word in delaware, listen. [inaudible] >> the problem was that the refugee i was working on -- [inaudible] david: arthel, important note when refugees come to the country, different system than what we are seeing at the southern border. the refugees are vetted overseas and then clear today come to the united states on the plane. at the southern border where rich are showing up asking for asylum, arthel, the office of refugee resettlement better known in the community as oorr, is in charge of refugees coming all

been working on both of those issues and that is something that the national security adviser jake sullivaned about the president raising that cap by may 15th. take a listen. >> he will raise the cap. we haven't determined the number. and what will drive our determination are the practical questions of, whether we can fix the absolutely shattered system that we were left with to process refugees, and then of course -- >> right. >> how we ensure that the same office, the office of refugee responsibility that takes care of those coming in as refugees, also takes care of unaccompanied minors at the border, how it can do both and i would just ask you to wait and see the president will lay out a new target. >> now, back in february the administration said that they would raise that refugee limit to 62,500. but the administration is now saying that it is unlikely that they will raise it that high by february -- or by may. the secretary of state tony blinken said today that that would be very hard to do. they are blaming the situation, and system they have inherited from the trump administration a

joining me now national security adviser jake sullivan. thank you so much for being with us.tary of state arriving in kabul less than 24 hours after the united states said they will be leaving afghanistan in full, no military presence there. what message does that send to the afghan people? >> well, what secretary blinken will communicate directly to the afghan people is what president biden said yesterday, which is we are ending our military engagement in afghanistan, but we're not ending our diplomatic and humanitarian support for the afghan people. we will continue to fund the afghan national security forces. we've trained and equip third degree 00,000 of them so they're able to defend their country and take responsibility for protecting their people. that's the message that secretary blinken will communicate along with thanking or troops for their bravery and sacrifice. >> we will not end our diplomatic efforts, but isn't it true they have not improved with the taliban announcing they will not take part in negotiations with istanbul next week? >> it's necessary to produce

meanwhile, concerns about his health have reached the white house with jake sullivan saying over thedied. >> we have communicated to the russian government that what happens to mr. navalny in their custody is their responsibility and they will be held accountable by the international community. in terms of the specific measures that we would undertake, we are looking at a variety of different costs we would impose. i'm not going to telegraph that publicly at this point, but we have communicated there will be consequences if mr. navalny dies. >> we don't often get breaking news, so i apologize to put you on the spot what is your sense of how the white house's actions and what jake sullivan outlined there is navalny reportedly being moved to the hospital. >> the white house announced sanctions on russia last week. the solar wind hack, crimea, interference. what russia said at the time where these matched the severity of what they believe russia had done. but not to escalate the situation. i think as they tried to talk about a new relationship with russia that is predictable, that is de

here is national security adviser jake sullivan on with chris wallace this morning on "fox news sundayident wanted to go with this in two steps. the first step was to change the allocation so that people in africa could literally get on planes this week. and the second would be to raise the cap as we were fixing the system and its processing. he took the first step this past week, he will take the second step in the weeks ahead. >> reporter: and the president originally planned a refugee cap at around 62,000 this fiscal year, 125,000 next fiscal year. when that paperwork was signed on friday for a 15,000, many were not happy about that. now, it's the office of refugee resettlement, also knowns as orr, they are responsible for dealing with those on the southern border coming to just seek asylum unannounced. also these refugees, which is really a different situation, eric and arthel, when you look at it. refugees are in countries all across the world. they are vetted, then given the clearance to come to the united states. the administration saying orr, that specific office, was overwhelm

so it was really great to see that jake sullivan made that tweet. because we are going to do the things that he mentioned in that tweet. but also things like getting them vaccinations is certainly on the table. these things are all being discussed. and there are a number of things, not just the immediate things, that mr. sullivan mentioned. but also things that we are talking about as a possibility. so i wouldn't take any of this off the table about what we are going to do to help india, because we take the serious situation that they are going through very seriously, just the way we do the situation in our own country, which is our primary responsibility. as you know, is to make sure that we are protected. >> is that a crisis. >> it is a very serious situation. i don't know. each person has a different interpretation of what a crisis is. one thing i can tell you, it is very, very serious what's going on. they had about 330,000 infections the other day. that's a very, very high number. and they are suffering terribly, which is the reason why we are

national security advisor jake sullivan appearing on a morning news shows saying that there would be consequences but not really giving very much details about it i also give you exact quote in terms of the specific measures we would undertake we are looking at a variety of different costs that we would impose and i'm not going to telegraph that publicly at this point i will communicated directly to russia said the national security adviser so it's basically a warning shot across the bows no real details what's the weather about what the consequences should be should not only die in prison but certainly it's a diplomatic step by the united states that is likely to only increase the frayed relations between the u.s. and russia. hospitals across i think breaking point is the region becomes a new epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic india's reported more than 261000 factions. there are no backs in the hospitals there are no beds in the i.c.u. there are no ventilators there are no medicines are in charge supply even oxygen is in sharp supply in more and more states and those who have di

the biden administration, jake sullivan have talked of -- directly about our need to invest in centralrica to stabilize those populations. tell us about how that is part of this conversation. >> there had been many surveys. there is a salient one, making it through, resilience. these have been pulling exercises -- pulling exercises -- polling exercises again three countries of immigration. the topics that people report can be concentrated, aggregated into three or four main issues. some of them are strictly related to underdevelopment. what we would see in sub-sahara africa, in parts of south asia, southeast asia. big families, very scarce resources. high rates of teenage pregnancy. moms that need to find a way forward for their youngsters without any support. others have to do with starting again. cca lot of people trying to leae central america becau they, and people they know, people from the nuclear or extended family, are part and parcel with high rates of lawlessness, gang activity, crime and violence. human trafficking, extortion, you name it. more recently, experts have been pu

on march 22nd, jake sullivan called me. i like jake. i think he's smart. i appreciate the phone call. i want the american people to know, when it comes to afghanistan, there are no great options. this is a place that is complicated and dangerous. without a lot of great options. but the options are high risk, medium risk, and low risk to the american homeland. president biden unfortunately has chosen the highest risk option available. which is to leave no matter what. i am certain that our military advised against a unilateral withdrawal without conditions being met to protect the american homeland. and our way of life from a future attack. emanating from afghanistan. this september will be 20 years since afghanistan was used as a launching pad to attack america to kill almost 3,000 of us. the reason they killed 3,000 of us almost is they couldn't find a better way to kill more of us. does anybody doubt that if al qaeda or isis had nuclear capability, they would use it? so what have we learned in the last 20 years? when we allow sanctuary for radical islami

1st marcus what do you make of the secretary of state and we can throw in as well as colleague jake sullivani mean we've had a very turbulent last few weeks particularly when it comes to the issue of ukraine but we had also the summit in anchorage so you know we we have all of this dust being kicked up about ukraine's sovereignty which we can talk about and only one country has been compromising the sovereignty of ukraine that's the united states you remember big torii a new one and then we have anchorage here and then as we speak right now by going ministration is asking if russia will join a climate change conference you know and john kerry you. in china if i'm not mistaken and nobody really wants to talk to him and the summit that was being proposed the russians are not interested in it i mean what's going on in lincoln in the others in the administration they seem to have lost the plot nobody really cares what they think. well peta i hope the premise was that it was the deployments or significant numbers of ukrainian forces including heavy artillery and of miss our systems to the donbass

just over the weekend, biden's national security adviser jake sullivan warned russia that there will be consequences if navalny dies let's take a listen to that. >> we have communicated to the russian government that what happens to mr. navalny in their custody is their responsibility, and they will be held accountable by the international coe looking at a variety of different costs that we would impose. and i'm not going to telegraph that publicly at this point. but we have communicated that there will be consequences if mr. navalny dies >> navalny's team is not waiting to make their next move. so we've been waiting the past few weeks to hear an announcements on when the next major protest in support of navalny will be scheduled. and just yesterday, leonid volkov, his right-hand man said we can't wait any longer we just don't have time. we have to make our move now and has called for these protests wednesday night, everyone on the streets. and what they're billing essentially as a final battle in their words between good and evil so it looks like these next few days are going to be

very very hard in washington on it but national security adviser jake sullivan is known for e-mailing clinton hillary clinton back in 22 of it al qaeda is on our side in syria and biden acknowledged that al-qaeda was in alliance with the united states of the us and our allies and here we are just as it is being on the show we went to damascus and he said they're going to be elections this year presumably they can be no elections while the european union. well i don't know if they committing murder by these sanctions on syrian people and the united states continues to threaten syria and israel bombs damascus as it has in the muslim to do. yes i mean we do have. a extraordinary bad situation with turkey sponsoring jihadists in italy the maybe 2 or 3000000 people under the control of al qaida or head choppers if you like that i mean they're not very pleasant people to talk and then you have the northeast inside. turkey supporting a kurdish and america's 40 a sort of kurdish more autonomy and then you have the rest of the population most of the urban population but i think the will be ele

london 1st marcus what do you make of the secretary of state and we can throw in as well as callie jake sullivan i mean we've had a very turbulent last few weeks particularly when it comes to the issue of ukraine but we had also the summit in anchorage so you know we we have all of this dust being kicked up about ukraine's sovereignty which we can talk about and only one country has been compromising the sovereignty of ukraine that's the united states you remember big torii a new one and then we have anchorage here and then as we speak right now by commiseration is asking of russia will join a climate change conference you know and john kerry you. in china if i'm not mistaken and nobody really wants to talk to him and the summit that was being proposed the russians are not interested in it i mean what's going on with lincoln in the others in the administration they seem to have lost the plot nobody really cares what they think. well peta i hope the premise was that it was the deployments or significant numbers of ukrainian forces including heavy artillery and of miss our systems to the donbass t

biden at the time he's back in power ok i mean victoria nuland is number 3 in the state department jake sullivan is also there i mean it looks to me that this is unfinished business for them and who knows who is running foreign policy we have no idea if it's the probable the there isn't a clear strategy from washington so i know some people are talking about this idea of ukraine being this engineered battleground for east versus west an opportunity to draw russia into a conflict that would make it a pariah in europe i think the reality is that there isn't such a grand scheme play that simply hasn't been that amount of foreign policy development put into place i think instead it's really important to try and divide the rhetoric from the reality i don't think and i haven't seen any evidence to suggest that anyone in washington and certainly not in moscow wants a full full blown conflict in the donbass or in crimea or anywhere else in eastern europe it simply doesn't no one stands to gain out of the situation and but instead i think what's where this. this kind of growing crisis actually is much mo

and the biden administration jake sullivan has nashiri advisor and others have talked very directly about our need to invest in central america to help try to stabilize those populations so tell us tell us where that is going on and how that's a part of this conversation. there's been many surveys steve there's a very salient one coal 'd city and on it i'm. making it making it through resilience. and these have been polling exercises in which upwards of 101-5000 people across the 3 main countries of immigration what the models are or young do to us have been carried out the topics that people report tend to be you know can be concentrated aggregated into 3 or 4 main issues some of them are strictly related to under development what we would see in sub-saharan africa what we'd see in parts of south asia southeast asia big families very scarce resources high rates of teenage pregnancy mums that really have to reach find a way forward for their youngsters without any support others have to do with you know the idea of starting again a lot of people trying to lead central america because they

we just saw over the weekend biden's national security adviser jake sullivan say there will be consequences if this happens. and i think we have a clip of that so let's take a listen >> we have communicated to the russian government that what happens to mr. navalny in their custody is their responsibility and they will be held accountable by the international community. in terms of the specific measures that we would undertake we are looking at a variety of different costs that we would impose and i'm not going to telegraph that publicly at this point, but we have communicated that will be consequences if mr. navalny dies >> navalny's team has not been waste any time in planning their next move. for the past few weeks we've been waiting for an announcement of the next major protest actions in support of mr. navalny. over the weekend his right-hand man leonid volkov told supporters now is the make or break moment they don't have the time to wait they've called for a major protest wednesday night. and they've been billed essentially as the opposition's final fight against in their words ultim

we've heard from the white house of readout of the phone call for a national security advisor jake sullivan to his counterpart and they say they will be sending in the supplies now keep in mind the u.s. has an export ban and all the raw material material that goes into making vaccines so they carefully worded the statement about what they're saying they said they found a supply of the raw material that they will be sending they don't so where that supply came from whether it's an american or somewhere else they went on to say that they'll be sending test kits personal protective equipment the therapeutic drugs that can help people infected with coated they're going to send a medical team in and they're trying to figure out ways to increase the generation of oxygen so sending that message today that the u.s. is going to help this reverses course of from what they said just a couple of days ago what can the u.s. do in terms of sending india less vaccines. well keep in mind the u.s. has about we believe 20000000 doses of the asters i think a vaccine that doesn't look like it's going to get app

and that's why i think this morning jake sullivan, biden's national security adviser, went on tv to sayuota. but what it does point to, to go back to our earlier conversation, is that to the democratic party, the progressive base is fully prepared to hold biden's feet to the fire when they think he is turning his back on what he appears to have promised them. >> sreenivasan: jeff greenfield joining us from santa barbara today. thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. >> sreenivasan: singer, songwriter and musician sam amidon has been onstage for more than 35 of his almost 40 years, with 11 albums and collaborations with the likes of guitar maestro bill frisell, as well as with his wife, the noted british singer/songwriter beth orton, amidon has developed a shining reputation for taking something very old and making it sound brand-new. newshour weekend special correspondent tom casciato has our story. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> reporter: sam amidon is a musical enigma of sorts. you might consider him a folk purist if you only heard him sing a traditional appalachian tune like "across the blue mountains."

because the white house put out a statement reading out a call between the national security advisor jake sullivan in his counterpart now keep in mind there is a ban in the united states for acts already in any sort of ingredient that goes into making these coated vaccines so this statement is very carefully worded it says that they have found a some source they have found a supply source for helping to make that vaccine it doesn't say that it's u.s. based or where it's from but it goes on to list a couple of other things like you mentioned that they'll be sending in such as personal protective gear testing kits they're going to send some therapeutics of medicine that we know can help treat severe covert cases and there's an inch of health experts so one of the issues here is they don't say how much of these supplies they're going to send they say they're going to work generating oxygen capacity but doesn't say exactly how that's going to work or what they're going to do for this urgent need and there's another source of criticism now facing the biden ministration the u.s. has the technology obvio
