israel was forging his work visd deals when its neighbors all around the way the united states was instrumental in its progress. but in just a few months, the biden administration has dashed those w hopes with the policy of weakness. pillars of smoke and fire are rising on the holy city of jerusalem the assault on israel like hamas, palestinian jihadi is the latest spiraling towards chaos. but instead of standing firm with israel, the biden administration's policy have conflict. the president showed his strength and instead is broadcasting in decisions and weakness. the democratic party refuses to say we stand with israel. the night sky over the jewish state blazes with intercepted rockets, the biden administration only offers muted callst. for restraint. where are the statements of solidarity with israel. from this administration, from thisti democratic party we can't even get the spokeswoman to say that they would help resupply. the lifesaving missile defense system so this afternoon let me provide a little clarity that the president and his party appear unwilling to articulate in tel aviv, jerusalem and the west bank and much less than the israeli people. th

administration. what's the progress so far? >> well, we have seen some progress and i applaud the biden administration for recognizing this is a serious concern and beginning to work there is lack of coordination. it is still not clear to those people who have been attacked -- at least to us in congress -- whether those people attacked are able to get the care and benefits they deserve. we heard from one official that they had access to walter reed and could get care there. we have heard from other officials that is not assured. that's one reason that senator collins and i introduced this legislation today. >> is there any evidence there has been similar attacks here in the united states? >> there have been news reports to that effect. again, there have been some classified briefings on that. again, i can't speak to that. >> understood. i also wanted to ask you about the approval of the sale of precision-guided weapons to israel. something that has always gotten bipartisan support in the past. now an increasing number want to put conditions on it. it may be too late. it would have to be approved by both houses and the president could veto it, but it might conditio

administration? heather: all of this is still a work in progress. certainly that is a starting place.is what we are already doing. these decisions will be negotiated, but it is important to keep in mind that all kinds of families need help when they have kids. we know families experience this extra burden. this is the port that will help them. one of the things that is exciting is scholars estimate it will have a significant reduction in child poverty, in particular child poverty for black and latino children. interesting to see how that works. it is an important policy for all of those families who need it. lisa: as someone who has raised two boys, i understand. you know what a jungle that is and how challenging. there is a question when you see the data rolling in. what data will you be looking forward to view this as a success to help push whatever additional programs biden plans to outline? heather: in the years to come we will see this show up in the income statistics the census bureau collects and focus those numbers into 2022. hopefully we will pass the american families plan b

progress. you mentioned the policing reform bill that is still being worked on in congress but what about the biden administration? do you think pres. biden's administration has done enough to dismantle systemic racism? >> i would characterize it to say that in fact when we talk about the change, the very first change was of that millions of americans, 81 million to be exact, came together and elected a new president and a vice president, the first woman of course who happens to be an african- american and east indian woman, the first vice president in the history of our nation who has a commitment to these issues. so i would say that the president is moving in the right direction. this unfortunately is not a sprint, it's a marathon and it will take a lot of work. the justice department has already begun looking at policing in minneapolis and there are about a dozen other cities that they are going to look at as well. out of that will come recommendations of how you transition or transform police departments are being able to hold them accountable. there have also been civil rights charges filed in that would not

administration. none has ever created this many jobs in this time frame. progress is undeniable. but we're not done yet. and some of the hardest work is ahead. we're still losing too many americans, and we still have unvaccinated people in america. last week, the c.d.c. announced that if you're fully vaccinated, you no longer have to wear a mask. the report the science now shows that your vaccination protects you as well as being masked or better than being masked. so you can protect yourself from serious illness from covid by getting vaccinated. or wearing a mask until you're fully vaccinated. either way, you're protected. as i said last week, some people may want to continue to wear a mask even if they're fully vaccinated. that's a decision they can make. some businesses may want to continue to require wearing masks. let's all be kind and respectful for one another as we come out of this pandemic and respect those who want to continue to wear a mask even if they've been vaccinated. above all, let's work together, though, to meet the target of 70% of adults, all adults with at least one shot by july 4. seven states have already done this. g
