get home to los angeles on an airline where everybody there was working heroically, going through jfk airportghost place, where everyone working there was working heroically. tsa agents all with masks and gloves on, working heroically. so i don't mean to in anyway minimize the heroism of the people who work in the aircrafts for those airlines and the people who work on the ground views of these airlines, but the executive class, the high end executive class of those airlines have their lobbyists working this weekend. those are the people who are working 24-hour days in washington right now is the lobbyists who have written the bill for the republicans. >> yes. so the people we're talking about. the homeless, the 40 million people who don't know where their next meal is coming from. the millions of children in america who get their meals, one or two at school. the 500,000 homeless people in america. the people who are left on the streets of new york service providers exclusively, most of whom do not have a retirement plan or pay into retirement insurance, they are actually getting the smallest

cnn's polo sandoval is over at new york's jfk international airport. polo, what's the situation like there? >> reporter: well, wolf, right now, we're trying to figure out if there has perhaps been a shift in the strategy or at least a methodology here that we're seeing officials carry out these kind of health screenings. when you hear from passengers here at one of the busiest airports in the country, they've recently been telling us they're noticing something different, where some of these officials are perhaps asking these questions to these passengers, fresh after the plane actually lands. these passengers are essentially being told to remain in their seats, are asked exactly where they travel to. and these health declaration forms are taken from them, and if any do exhibit symptoms, they could be referred to cbp officials. that to lighten the load of people who have been waiting noin those cramped hallways. an officer said, despite these slight modifications, this is still adding up to a massive headache to many travelers. >> it was rough. they put
