i want to read to you what congresswoman jayapal first had to say about this. progressive and she said in a statement it was simply unacceptable and unconscionable and this amounted to a broken promise from the president. dick durbin echoed that, say it ain't so, president joe. that gives you an idea of some of the voices. that all happened yesterday between the hours of 1:00 and 4:00 p.m. and that's how quickly it developed leading jen psaki that was created entirely by the white house with this political stumble.she is saying the president will announce a new cap at least not until the fall and the end of this fiscal year and just to put this into context a little bit, alex, for our viewers. aid groups in the state department say that there are some 35,000 refugees that have already been approved who are waiting to come to the united states with thousands more in limbo, and according to those aid groups in the state department some of them had even flights booked already hoping to head here in the recent weeks and those have now had to be canceled as they awa

thank you, jayapal for that statement.soft is a tech company and like every business we have business interests. some steps the subcommittee could take that will make us more challenging in our business. it may make it more costly to do business and other steps this subcommittee could take that could help us in our business and yet i have to say what is also obvious is this. the issues before this committee are not about our business or any single business, they are about an issue far bigger than that. they're about the future of journalism in this country. and if one thing is clear, it's this. for almost 250 years, journalism has been a life blood of democracy. and this is a especially true at the local level. local newss critical roles in telling people what their school board is experiencing or exposing corruption in public office but does more than that, too. it tells an entire community about what's going to happen at the county fair or about the high school band or about a church retreat. i think it's really interest

unconscionable from represent jayapal. say it ain't so, president joe, senator dick durbin urged the president to keep his campaign promise to raise the cap on refugees. friday the white house on defense. >> we have to ensure there's capacity and ability to manage both. >> reporter: after the fury from democrats, the white house released a new statement and cited some confusion, then reversed course, saying the president would set a final increased cap for refugees next month. now turning to covid-19, the biden administration has said it will devote $1.7 billion out of funds already passed to go to states so they can study and track variants of the disease. that comes as we are all waiting for an answer on the j&j vaccine. next week, a special cdc advisory panel will meet on friday to determine if this pause in using the vaccine after reports of blood clots needs to continue or if distribution of that medicine can continue. peter, kristin? >> a lot of americans waiting for clarity on that. kelly o'donnell at the white hous

, and talked to everybody from, you know, manchin to larry summers to progressives, congresswoman jayapalu're seeing is a strange marriage of man and movement and moment, so the man is, as you said, a historically moderate person, someone associated with the centrist wing of the party, more corporate friendly wing of the party. he ran and won despite a second thing going on, which is a progressive movement that increasingly has set the terms of the conversation and won a battle of ideas in the party as many moderates told me for this piece, even though they didn't win the primary. and so you got the man and the movement in somewhat tension but also as i said in the piece, at his back ask at his throat the movement is. and then finally the moment, and there's kind of two components of the moment. there's the acute moment we're in of covid, the plague, this kind of once in a generation political opportunity to do something big because of how bad things are, but also the accumulation of chronic crises, the death of the american dream frankly over the last generation, and without covid, perha

to offset that cost, senator bernie sanders and representative jayapal it's 10 basis points on bondsee of 5 basis points on derivatives. those numbers do add up. progressives say it could raise $2.4 trillion over a decade, though there are a wide range of outside estimates about how much that would actually bring in president biden was open to the idea of financial transportation tax running for office and the free college plan is based off of what biden proposed on the campaign trail. guys, what we're seeing is progressives trying to put pressure on the white house to embrace both of these issues as biden gets ready to roll out the human capital portion of its infrastructure package back over to you >> ylan, when you first started talking about this, i mentioned bernie sanders that was behind this and i thought it was not very likely it's very progressive but then you point out it's something that biden himself campaigned for. how much support is they're not just with the biden administration, but the senate and the house? >> yeah, so, we're expecting to see who actually co-sponsore
