of january, there have been 96 different flocks of poultry in 23 million birds in 20 states with puerto rico. they've all become infected largely from this exposure to these waterfalls. but what happened a year ago was we actually saw the spillover in texas of this bird flu virus into dairy cattle. and then when they moved the cattle north with the spring season, we spread it to 16 different states, including major activity in california. but what happened was the bird flu virus in the birds is a slightly different strain than the bird we than the virus we saw in the cattle. what's happened is that in the last week, we've now confirmed that the original bird flu virus, the one affecting birds, is now also gone into cattle. and so there's now a new introduction of it. and what we don't know is what that means in terms of human health. you know, we've been talking about this as a challenge to human health for a year, and we've yet to see really any evidence of it becoming a routinely transmitted virus in people. but it could happen tomorrow. >> what would it take for it to happen? >> well, it'

and that is in 20 states plus the district of columbia and puerto rico. >> is this just blue states wheres happening? >> no, this is not no. it's at this point. it is, it is, it is it is all all states across the country. we've seen this number go up to about 27 states back down a little bit. and it's not the thing about head start. head start is a federal to local funded program. so the resources that the federal government provides actually go directly into individual communities. that's what helps us address really the specific needs of individual communities and the specific needs of children and families. so when we're talking about the impact of this, we're talking about this coming very substantially on on the kids and families that that need these services the most. >> i wonder, have you gotten an answer from the administration about where this money is and why it's still frozen? >> yeah. so it's i actually wouldn't characterize it that it's frozen, it's complicated. and that's that's and confusing. and that's the unfortunate thing at this point. you know, we have heard that this

question whether ukraine, fighting for its life, would survive. $20 billion in disaster aid for puerto rico after the hurricanes had struck and did such great damage to that nation, it was a l liv-and-death proposition, and he -- a liv-and-death proposition, and he decided to withhold these funds. when he left that role, mr. vought became a key architect of what's been referred to many times as project 2025, a policy proposal written by a conservative think tank outlining a sweeping extreme vision of america's future. project 2025 included policies to consolidate power in the executive branch and to undermine critical services the federal government provides to american families. if that sounds familiar, perhaps you're following the president's ongoing attempts to freeze federal funds legally appropriated by congress. that is no coincidence. mr. vought is the maga puppet master in this administration. two weeks ago, we saw it at its worse. i see senator murray of washington is on the floor. she is our democratic leader when it comes to appropriations. i saw her on that committee, i respect

delayed community development -- community development block grant disaster mitigation funding to puerto rico that congress had provided for recovery from hurricane maria. i visited postcloture in the wake of the hurricane. i saw the devastating destruction to that island, to roads and bridges, to electricities and utilities, to hospitals and clinics, to agricultural areas that were completely isolated some of them. i flew over them by helicopter and saw the homes that had been leveled or rendered roofless or isolated, unable to find food or water without it being dropped from the air sometimes by fema. but he withheld the development block grant disaster mitigation funding provided by congress for recovery from hurricane maria, and the symbol, the visual symbol of that time became president trump throwing rolls of paper, paper napkins or towels -- for towels of people waiting for food and water. it became emblematic because mr. vought withheld that money. my constituents and all americans should not have to worry that when disaster next strikes, they may not receive the aid that they need an

on top of that, vought willfully delayed sending vital disaster relief to puerto rico as communitiese struggling to recover from the devastations of hurricanes maria and erma. and again congress passed a law to provide this funding, funding that was desperately needed to help recover from these destructive hurricanes. and then again congress passed a law specifically requiring the funds to be disbursed on time to people in desperate need. mr. vought delayed it, delayed those funds. he broke the law and he prolonged the suffering and the recovery of communities who needed immediate help. in 2021 the inspector general for the department of housing and urban development concerned that vought's refusal to send hurricane relief assistance was an inappropriate action and that it caused real harms for the people of puerto rico. the inspector general report stated, and i quote, brian montgomery, the former deputy secretary and act the secretary of hud said, recalled telling former omb director vought that omb's actions were tantamount to holding disaster relief funds hostage. when asked what
