in the country providing childcare are the right providers to be providing care. this is a market-based system that the faith-based systems need to be in and private providers. so i absolutely believe that the market sits where the market should be and it should continue to sit in that place. at the same time, the financing have been forever the supply and demand don't match. i don't see this as the government starting to insert itself in the delivery of services and how programs are run or the experiences that children have but rather than give more choices by providing financing support to a broken economic structure, and i think it is pretty common you see the federal government to step in with other industries where that's been the case, so i don't think it is unusual to ask the federal government to make an investment in the industry that by itself the supply and demand don't need. spain again thank you, senator. i would agree. basically states would like to do their own thing. they are doing more in preschool but the money just isn't there. the federal gover

i think the patient provider and education is key, and we have a long way to go especially with our provider education in all of our health care workforce. i think it's been a theme today that we've talked about you, know, folks not understanding diction and mental health issues as disorders, addiction issues as chronic diseases, and the evidence based services and interventions and treatment models that address these disorders successfully, and so we've come a long way, we've invested a lot in our response, and engaging the workforce as such, but i know that we have a long way to go especially as we contemplate access and what that means for people who are approaching health care providers who don't or don't know how or don't address addiction appropriately. >> thank you. i'd like you and the proper members of the panel to take a look at these two bills. it will be a small step in at least trying to get more information out there and to weigh in on maybe endorsing both of these pieces of legislation. thank you. >> thank you. senator cain. >> thank you, chair mary. what an excellent panel of

that can be helpful in providing the support needed to find mental health providers. the provision of mental health is a critical went united states that is not specific to the refugee community or afghan community. so much is reliant on the availability of mental health services locally, but we are working closely with some providers like the u.s. committee for refugees and immigrants and others to deploy mental health resources to critical areas that need essentially an influx of that expertise to provide care to afghans in particular given the trauma that they have endured. it is something that we are continuing to work through, and how we can to make sure that we are not just reliant on some of those places where they are not mental health provisions. >> thank you. >> will -- real quick, if there is a response or question and we will wrap it up. >> represented the city of west sacramento, i appreciate your presence here in the information that you provided. i share the concerns of the mayor from fremont who explains the cost of making sure folks get the resources

the $1.2 billion in military assistance that we've provided has provided exactly the type of capabilities that have helped them fight back and push back effectively and courageously against the inbounds attacks from the russian military. and as you also noted, the risk associated is also something that our u.s. military will assess as part of their analysis. reporter: to follow up on mary's question. how does the u.s. define a russian incursion or invasion into nato territory? jen: that's a conversation we have with our nato partners and allies. reporter: so, for example, there are reports that a russian drone made its way into polish air space before going back to ukraine and being shot down. is a drone into poland count as an invasion into -- jen: again, what happens here, it's not that nato countries just respond on their own. if there is an attack or -- that is considered by nato leadership and by nato countries to be -- to meet that bar, then there's a discussion among nato partners about how to respond. but it's not in anyone's interest to get into an escalating situation with russi

i've been working with senator hassan on the treatment act which allows health care providers to provide which can truly, truly save lives with the medication assisted treatment. in addition to life-saving substance use treatment, we know we have to invest in wrap around recovery services. i've visited programs in alaska that focus not just on preventing the overdose deaths, but also really building a community for alaskans in recovery because that has to be the follow on. we've worked to reduce fetal alcoholism disorders and address the mental health needs. senator smith and i are leading the workforce shortage loan to bullster our supply of investors and to ensure that insurance covers these critical services. senator king and senator kelly and i are working on the effective suicide screening and assessment in the emergency department act to provide resources for emergency room personnel to identify, assess and treat individuals at risk of suicide. i think, unfortunately, we know that is where far too many who are seeking help end up. sitting in an emergency room where you don't necess

we are providing $1 billion in security assistance. we are the largest provider with that. with the u.s. military engaging and ukraine and fighting a war against russia, we do not have any intention to do that. go ahead. >> one other question, the intelligence agency director told congress that this agency underestimated the ukrainian military preparedness and willingness to fight. does the white house share that sentiment? >> we do and i think the world does. when we saw the preparations of president putin and the russian military on the borders of ukraine, we saw the power of the russian military, we saw the intentions of president putin and i do not think anyone anticipated the level of courage, bravery, capacity to fight back that we have seen in the country. at the same time, we have also seen some miscalculations by president putin as well in terms of that capacity and willingness, but also in terms of their own planning and logistics of their military. >> can you talk about the state of the covid money, the $15 billion that came out of the bill yesterday? how confide

we also provide military support and we provided equipment as you know, amongst and also individual weapons that we informed you about already. we have to consider very carefully what we do in very concrete terms. and this does definitely not include fight up planes. we will continue to send equipment and weapons as needed as we have in canada. we will continue to be aligned with our partners. we all have to be careful about not further expanding or escalating. we want to deescalate the contract. we want to see an end to this conflict. we will be there to support ukrainians in every way that we can. but we need to be mindful of the best way to support them. hi, this is a question for both of you on energy policy. we know that right now, germany is still relying on russian oil and gas and will need oil and gas for many years. we also know canada has a lot of oil and gas, but doesn't have an easy way to get it to europe doesn't have the infrastructure. is this something you talked about today? is there any kind of energy partnership possible between your countries? and specifically, is there

we are providing stingers that are also antiaircraft. there's a range of systems that different countries have around the world. so i know president zelenskyy called out specifically as 300 and while i'm not going to get into the specifics we are continuing to work with our partners including soviet or russian origin and antiaircraft systems which is exactly what that is that when we are talking about here how to provide a range of antiaircraft systems that will help them do exactly what they've been doing which is to shoot down planes and part of what the president announced is what serves exactly that purpose. >> is that part of the plan to facilitate? >> without getting into the specific systems, there are a range that do have a longer range and we are continuing to consult with our allies and key partners but i'm not going to get into more specifics. >> i would note the chair man spoke to exactly that question today so i would point to your specific comments answering that question. they respect the independence and as we've said man

there's also the protections provided by oversight of all entities that go into providing supporting stablecoin as a payment. the custody, the other ways of liquidation of the redemption of the stablecoin that could be provided. all of those go into protecting consumers when they want to use stablecoin for payments. >> since there are alternative ways of bringing stablecoin's the banking perimeter like 100% -- with tailored holding supervision, is that something you discussed and are willing to consider? >> yes i think bringing stablecoins into a framework that is adjusted for the risks of the stablecoin issuer which would include solid backing of the stablecoin one-for-one would certainly be an option. >> i am so pleased to hear that that is your approach because without it, the type competition this senator hagerty wants to protect would be at risk if someone already has deposit insurance and can issue stablecoin like j.p. morgan. that would seem to limit competition in that marketplace to only the very largest banks in our country and there may be other options that other institut

that can also be really helpful in providing the support needed to find mental health providers. the provision of mental health is a critical one to the united states. that's not specific to the refugee community or the afghan community. so much really is reliant on what the availability of mental health services are locally. we're working with providers like the u.s. committee for refugees and immigrants and others to deploy mental health resources to critical areas that need an influx of that expertise to provide care to afghans given the trauma they have endured and it's something we are continuing to work through. last one right here. >> representing the city ofwet sacramento. i appreciate your presence and the information you provided. i share your concern that the cost of making sure we get folks the resources they need. housing is very expensive. we have a afghan refugee population coming into the sacramento region. housing is one of the key areas we're trying to build housing in support for them. driver's license or id. without an id they cannot access the benefit and res

this provides home care. our family viewed this as a great alternative to a nursing home setting for our mother. but to qualify, someone must first apply for medicaid and then apply for waiver. the process is very long and difficult. it involves several applications, documentation from medicaid and doctors, choosing a provider to oversee your case and finding a home health care agency with enough staff to meet our mom's needs. eventually we did not have enough money to pay for one more day. i was fortunate to have stumbled across the pennsylvania health flow project. they helped to expedite my mother's case. as you can imagine, the stress of not knowing how we were going to care for her mother was insurmountable. i have talked about the mother my -- the trouble my mother faced becoming dually eligible, the challenges i experience as a dually eligible person. i would like to tell you what would happen if i stopped becoming dually eligible. if i lose medicaid, i would not be able to buy medigap insurance to cov

representative: can you provide details out all the groups you consulted with that can you provide which groups gave you recommendations that you incorporated? because when we look at the request from the teachers union, they sent you language because they were concerned your language might not make it easy enough for them to close schools. dr. fauci testified almost a year ago, schools should be open. there is strong science schools should be open. the unions wanted to close them. this is the changed language after they sent you this email, not where parent groups were able to give input that i have seen. they sent you this change. this is what your new document showed, literally almost verbatim language. i don't know if you put a footnote that they gave you the language, but who else was able to get this kind of guidance to you that you then took almost verbatim it changed your report? dr. walensky: we engaged with over 50 organizations and stakeholders. we take that feedback and we consider it and ultimately implement things that are consistent with our scientific underpinnings and ou

that are providing childcare are the right providers to provide care. faith-based programs, with private providers, i absolutely believe the market should be and should continue to sit in that case. the financing and economics of that market are fundamentally broken they have been forever. supply and demand don't match, i don't see this as the government trying to insert itself into how programs are run. to give parents more choices by providing financing support, for economic structure in the system. you see the federal government step in and other industries that might be the case. i don't think it is unusual to ask the federal government to make an investment in industry that by itself supply and demand don't need. >> thank you. i would agree with that. states would like to invest more in childcare, doing more in preschoolol but the money isn't there. the federal government needs to partner with them to address the fact there is a broken market there and the prices parents are paying is high and it is a broken market. the way to do that is to invest

the services that are being provided now in places with funding are providing services to children. we know that about 25% of the services now being provided through the behaioral health clinics. they are working with criminal justice facilities and so on. the most important thing is that they are meeting people where they are. meeting children where they are. traditionally now, the mental health system has taken only those who are very seriously mentally ill under medicaid. this is about everyone who presents themselves, every parent who presents themself at a clinic with their child. they are required to be able to get access to services and so on within a week, which is transformative. as well as the psychiatric crisis services provided. i wonder if you might speak more about what we have dubbed the ccbhc, it's a mouthful, but dealing with behavioral health for services and the important role of community-based services. treatment accessible te in the communities combined with the virtual care service to provide the maximum points of access. mental health is a delicate issue for

can you provide some of the outreach that they provided to my district? >> a lot of -- actually, only about a percentage or two below the mission, so we definitely are able to reach out to all the different neighborhoods, and as you said, the impact of covid affects every single neighborhood, east side, west side, north to south. >> supervisor safai: and are you able to provide which organizations provided that support to 941 -- >> i don't have that information before me, but i am happy to get that back before you. >> supervisor safai: second question was just to build on what chair ronen was asking. it sounds like you have additional funds to award. is that correct? and if there are, why are you holding back on moneys to provide rent relief support? why is that money not being distributed now? >> in that case, i was speaking to the chair, for example, about funds that may have been created through proposition c that we may have now but may come to us in the future. prop c will be our primary source moving forward because we have a one-time distribution o

but also providing the ongoing training. we participate in the nima program. we welcome students from all disciplines and health care institutions in connecticut to make sure we're building that pipeline to continue to increase that skill level. >> i have more questions. hopefully we'll have time for a second round. if not, i'll submit them in writing. >> thank you, mr. chairman. touched on earlier in my opening statement that a lot of what we're navigating through currently addressing covid, it was a feisty foe. none of us knew much about it. i member in my own company discussing what we were going to do when we touched base weekly, it was about treating it with respect and doing those things we all know now that the science is saying what did work and what didn't work. so often you get the political science involved in the discussion and it keeps us off the mark. i was going to ask ms. grezler about vaccine mandates in the senate. life is not fixed ever from the top down. it would be different if we were knocking it out of

the key entities have been provided classified briefings. several were brought in to help with that briefing. [inaudible] >> we believe that osha has conducted cyber attacks to undermine, coerce and destabilize ukraine and we attributed those a couple of weeks ago. we consistently see nations doing preparatory activity. that activity can pan out and that is the reason we are here. >> [inaudible] >> putin or russian leaders strategic thinking regarding how cyber attacks factor in. what i can speak to is the preparatory work we've been doing here in the u.s. and we have intelligence regarding a shift in that intention that we are coming out and raising the awareness to heighten the preparedness. >> [inaudible] what would that look like? >> preparatory would be scanning websites and hunting for vulnerabilities. the most troubling piece no vulnerabilities for which we have patches available. it would make it easier than they should have. no comment about new york so what we are asking for is lock your digital doors and make it harder for attacke

every member of the nato alliance right now is providing assistance to ukraine . almost all of them are providing support. some are doing contrary to long-standing policies. norway, germany, others have taken decisions to provide legal support sometimes for the first time in many decades. we also have many countries providing humanitarian support as well.in the case of the particular situation with poland where poland had heard this request come in from ukraine about the soviet era mig, every ally is doing their best to assess what more they can do to support ukraine . poland for this request come in from kyiv and then tried to through ways in which they could deliver on that specific request. they consulted with the united states, us has hadmany questions about it . the logistics of actually transferring these planes to ukraine is complicated. there are open-ended questions about pilots, about fuel, about missiles just the sheer mechanics of moving them across the border so you did hear correct that the pentagon's position on this, the bidens administration's pos

together we provided more resources for the c.d.c. and state and local health departments to ensure they are prepared and equipped implementing lessons learned from the pandemic. we confronted our most urgent health crises while taking strides to reduce unacceptable health disparities. we invested in our veterans. focusing on the mental health needs of those who serve our nation. we strengthen biomedical research, providing more funding for the national institute of health and establishing an advanced research projects agency for health to cure the previously uncurable. we protected the safety of our food and medicine by funding f.d.a. the pandemic taught us no one is safe unless everyone is safe. that's why we increased funding for global health, to work to prevent the next pandemic. with this budget, democrats not only are making health care more affordable for all americans, we are building a healthier and safer nation. i rise to highlight the signature investments we enacted to help working families with the cost of living. in a t

lubarsky, your experiences can provide a deeper understanding of the range of services provided across the continuum of mental health care. one of the most common concepts discussed in the stakeholder responses we've received is the need for increased coordination and case management to lead to better outcomes. in your role as a community mental health leader, can you explain exactly what targeted case management means in practice when you're caring for the kids and their families? >> yes. thank you, senator crapo, for your question. targeted case management i view as a fundamental important service for every youth who is receiving clinical services at a mental health center. when we think about the maslow's hierarchy of needs and that ability to meet your most basic needs in life, that is why we utilize case management with our pediatric patients and their families. if you can't feel food secure, housing stable, be able to access your education in a meaningful way and really be able to be socially connected to your community in a manner so when you're done with your mental health care

the services that are being provided now in placesith fundin are providing services to children. we know that about 25% o the serves now being provided more can be done. the most importanthing is they areeeting people where the ar a traditionally now the mental health system has taken only those who are very seriously mently ill under medicaid. this is aut everyone who presents themselves. ery parent that presents themselves at a clinic with their child ands required to be able to get access to services and so on within a week which is transformatives well as the psychiatric services provided. i wonder if you might speak more about what we have dubbed the ccb ab and the important role of the community-based services. >> i cannot emphasize enough how important it is to have treatment accessible to people in the communities combined with the virtual care service to provide the mamum points of access. mental health is a delicate issue for many families into being able to go to places and people they trust is often essential. knowing there's a center in your community can make a diff

can you provide some of the outreach that they provided to my district? >> a lot of -- actually, only about a percentage or two below the mission, so we definitely are able to reach out to all the different neighborhoods, and as you said, the impact of covid affects every single neighborhood, east side, west side, north to south. >> supervisor safai: and are you able to provide which organizations provided that support to 941 -- >> i don't have that information before me, but i am happy to get that back before you. >> supervisor safai: second question was just to build on what chair ronen was asking. it sounds like you have additional funds to award. is that correct? and if there are, why are you holding back on moneys to provide rent relief support? why is that money not being distributed now? >> in that case, i was speaking to the chair, for example, about funds that may have been created through proposition c that we may have now but may come to us in the future. prop c will be our primary source moving forward because we have a one-time distribution o

but we've been providing anti-armor, taking out tanks, and air capabilities, directly, directly to the ukrainian forces. we're also facilitating significant shipments of security assistance from our ally partners to ukraine. with this new security funding and the drawdown authorities in this bill, we're moving urgently to further augment the support of the great people ukraine as they defend their country. i'll have much more to say about this tomorrow, about exactly what we're doing in ukraine. we're also going to be in a position to provide for the rapidly growing humanitarian needs of the ukrainian people. this war has turned nearly three million ukrainians into refugees, with numbers growing every single day. that's on top of the 12 million people requiring humanitarian assistance inside of ukraine. the united states is helping to lead the global humanitarian response with our partners in europe and well beyond europe. in just the past few weeks, we've provided nearly $293 million in humanitarian assistance to people in ukraine and in neighboring countries. our experts are on the g

providing the real time targeting that the u.s. military gets in wars. why does warming the ukrainians with javelins appropriate but not targeting intelligence? jen: i think this is similar to -- there have been range of reports out there that are false. we can't get into details of all of our intelligence sharing for obvious reasons. we have continued and consistently shared a significant amount of detailed timely intelligence on russia's plans and activities with the ukrainian government to help ukrainians defend themselves. we have been doing that for months. this includes information that -- should help them inform and develop their military response to russia's invasion. that's what's happening. or has been happening. reporter: i know people had asked a lot about the price of oil. i want to come at it a different way. the fact is the price of oil is high is very unlikely to go down any time soon. more than likely will go up. what is the white house looking at? i know that there was the strategic release rule, but are there oth

he says we cannot do this, we cannot provide that, until the media and others provide pressure on him. then he reverses course. we are going to continue to put the pressure on this president to stand up, to abide by the agreement that was made in 1994, to abide what -- by what they said where they greenlighted it just a few days ago and allow the ukrainians to defend themselves and their sovereign land. every hour that goes by that we are not stepping up with our aid , whether it is lethal or otherwise, we have ukrainians dying. as i said, it is not just soldiers,. there are innocent civilians that are in the path of this russian monstrosity and we need to provide everything we can to stop them. >> earlier today it was reported that congressman hawthorne called putin a thug. -- zelensky a thug. he said the ukrainian government is evil. he said the ukrainian is -- government is spreading this information. given what he is saying, republican voters are not in the same place as [indiscernible] >> i can tell you what i think because i spent time in ukraine in 1989 while it was a part of t

providers. and finally, the funding supports basic core activities that the public authority is required to carry out, as well as providing background check services as well as coordinating the activities of the ihss public authority governing body. so today i'm seeking your approval to move forward with the sole source contract. i'd be happy to answer any questions that you have. >> commissioner bittner: i have a comment. i wouldn't here today talking to if i didn't have them getting me up in the morning and getting me ready. because of the pandemic, needed prepared. we need to find innovative ways to reach people. >> thank you so much, commissioner bittner for your comments and thank you for serving on the ihss governing board. and i really appreciate your comments about how important the ihss service -- the program is. it really is a wonderful program that impacts, you know, so many san franciscans. and issues are real. we feel grateful we have wonderful partners at the public authority. they

or to provide the level of international assistance. let me check to see if the number of doses we have committed how many have been purchased. reporter: but if there is no more money, there may not be money for delivery of the doses. jen: we need more funding to be the arsenal of vaccines in the world. reporter: i want to go back to the supreme court nomination for next week. the president's schedule, he's not testifying in the nomination hearing. jen: not that we're tracking. reporter: can you talk about how the white house is preparing for next week? how the president will be involved in anything going on next week? jen: i would say that judge jackson, as you know, has a whole team of people internally and externally who have been helping her through the preparation process. she, which won't surprise anyone, started practicing and preparing as soon as she was nominated to serve on the supreme court. that process has already picked over for the last couple of day. our team will be closely watching and monitoring the hearings next week

>> we have been providing this type of equipment throughout. this enables us to provide more. in the last two weeks, we've provided over $300 million worth of equipment to ukraine. and the $800 million that the president signed off on here just recently brings the total to over $2 billion in terms of the amount of security force assistance that we have been providing to ukraine. i would remind you that we have had trainers there since 2014, along with some of our other allies. not only have we provided them equipment, they were ready to use that equipment. >> brennan: the equipment that the ukrainians say they want is to help close the skies. the s-300 systems that are in eastern europe right now, how kic quickly can you get that into the hands of the ukrainians? >> if we can get it in, if our allies have this type of equipment available, they are ready to go. what we'll do is we'll continue to work with them and continue to work with other allies and partners to not only create the conditions to provide that kind of assistance, but also work to ensure that they have the abili

care providers. in partnership with the cdc, the american psychiatric association has been providing help for those experiencing burnout and need psychological first aid training but also are quite angry and are feeling really challenged by the amount of harassment that they are getting, the amount of victimization they are subjected to for treating folks due to covid, for offering vaccines, and a remarkable amount of frustration for the patients they can't get the opportunity to treat because they're overrun with folks who are experiencing covid and are unvaccinated. there are a variety of things that can be done. as you ask providing concrete support, modeling self-care, psychological first aid training as i mention. i wanted to thank you for both of your points, really raising this issue of stigma that is still pervading the way we think about mental health issues versus physical health issues and i hope this committee can be very, very clear that's sometimes also reflected in the amount of fundin

pharmacist in labs and other healthcare providers will no longer give payments to defend for providing these pandemic services to americans on monoclonal antibody treatments we have had to cancel a additional supply of those which have been sent for this week these therapeutics are projected to start to run out by late may 1 of the consequences of diminishing supply to rent on —- to invest ahead is that on monday we can cut the supply of monoclonal one —- monoclonal antibody treatments to every state that distribution was reduced by 35 percent. we also have to scale back our plans to have those preventative therapies for those were immunocompromised this increases the risk of insufficient supply of mistreatment by the fall of this year. the presidents has briefed congress on a number of occasions in great detail on the pandemic operation in response and the resources to provide information orally as requested in our success in fighting covid depends on our vigilance and unwavering support essential workers and the covid world. we are prepared to execute the presidents plan we look

who is going to provide the care? and i think for a lot of teens who get to this point and initially have that first conversation, not being able to get those accesses afterwards is incredibly isolating and incredibly defeating and really highlights some of the failures of our mental health care system and things that need to be addressed. teens who need help should receive help. and that help should be meaningful and sustainable for as long as they need it. >> sit tight. dr. hoover, that 80% bigger is really show stopping. my sense is we're just losing a lot of young people at a really crucial time. what can be done about that? >> totally agree. i would agree that it's probably not just in his school. we're seeing these figures across the nation. so the bottom line is that getting care to kids in some of our traditional outpatient settings really is a challenge. as you heard earier, one of the first lines of action really is to bring services to where young people are in their schools. we know that every state and ma

hbcu's provide diversity in health and stem. acknowledge this work with more robust resources to expand their capacity. fully fund the health careers opportunity program and similar programs too. few black institutions also have capacity and resources to function as major research institutions. even though they are actively nearing that point. more federal investment developing and billing capacity at hbu's will allow us to expand our work in response to national need. in president biden's joint families and infrastructure plan, hbcu's, tribal colleges were set to receive $90 billion in investment in research and related infrastructure. this is essential. another point is to forgive the balance of the hbcu capital finance program debt for the remaining hbcu which are excluded from that forgiveness. we understand that this should not be routine. however there are numerous opportunities in the ignite hbcu excellence act, including xavier. last but not least, we as a community of institutions are still processing the cowardly acts

we have provided a great deal of support and we're providing more. thepresident asked for more >> should we be surprised by that number, 1 million refugees ? >> it's just, the pictures are so sad to see what putin has done with this unprovoked war. the united states, no one had fired a shot and he decided to invade and this, to see the refugees, it really is heartbreaking.and i think that's one area that we're also going to need to provide a great deal of support. >> host: we talked about this with our viewers and the headline here from axios, zelensky urges president biden to offer a no-fly zone. what are your thoughts about the nato no-fly zone? >> president biden announced the no-fly zone for russia over the united states . any of our european allies have different ones that instituted different no-fly zones. i certainly am in favor of putting as many constraints on putin and the russians as possible. >> host: do you think that should be a military, with american jets and forcing military no-fly zone over ukraine? >> i don't see going to that exte

and then the e-members were providing aircraft and now we see nobody is providing aircraft. and something that a staff. put together as an update as we know what is true and what is not true then the final mile to make sure assistance gets into thena hands of ukrainians. notin just shipped and it sits there but actually gets there. window that's more complicated. lastly. of how this plays out over the next weekend a half? i know that's not your specialty but we are in the middle of this crisis and people are watching can you tell us what you think is going to happen? i would like to know what the defense department things will happen over the next weekend a half. >> and we can help you get those materials. and those that they are working on. and over the next week and a half. that ukrainian military is fighting so incredibly hard. it is extraordinary and it has been a lot more and that they would have expected and then they will do all they can as assistances flowing to them and they will try to continue to push back the invasion but as you probably saw this morning in parti

providing. we should be providing stingers, javelins, drones. most critically, we should be providing fighter jets. president zelensky said fighter jets are his top priority, it's what he needs most. poland has offered them a that the pilots know how to fly, and joe biden personally vetoed those going to ukraine. president biden should allow those mig's to go to ukraine today. not flown by american pilots, but flown by ukrainian pilots so the ukrainian people can defend their homeland from putin's aggression. secondly, we need to take away putin's revenue from oil and gas. vladimir putin is a petro tyrant. putin believes europe is addicted to russian oil and gas. biden should unleash american production to step in and take european customers, our european allies should sign long-term contracts with producers or allies, and take that revenue away from putin, defined his war. biden does not believe victory is possible. the biden team is resigned to failure. putin can be defeated, but only if we st

it depends on the capacity of that particular provider. meals on wheels is the only meal provider able to deliver across the city there's other ones that may be specific like self-help for the elderly who may not be able to even if they got a higher score in terms of being able to do city wide they were awarded for chinese cuisine in all their districts and the same thing like with russian american for example. they have their specific districts and they deliver russian type cuisine. no one wasn't funded and funded on what they bid on and their capacity. it's helpful to understand that and the other question is as a bla report notes there's an ex tense of a reduced number of clients to be served looks like from 3600 to 3200 and i was wondering how you came up with that figure if you expect -- >> i can answer. so we were lucky. this fiscal year the department we received i want to say $5.4 million or $4.5 million i'm having trouble but we received extra funding from the mayor's budget and because the demand was so great we were able to add

the services being provided now in places with funding are providing services to children. we know about 25% of services now have been provided through the behavioral health clinics are to children and they're working with juvenile facilities and criminal justice facilities and so on. and the most important thing is that they are meeting people where they are, meeting children where they are. traditionally now the mental health system has only taken those severely mental ill under medicaid. this is about everyone who presents themselves, every parent who presents themselves at a clinic with their child and are required to be able to get access to services and so on within a week, which is transformative as well as the psychiatric crisis services provided. so i wonder if you might speak more about what we have dubbed the ccphc's -- it's a mouthful, but dealing with behavioral health for services and the important role of community based services. >> well, thank you, senator. i cannot emphasize enough how important it is to have treatment accessible to the people in their com

something i've been trying to do on psychological warfare, i have legislation provided that would provide for any military troop who defects. they would be given immediate refugee status to that state. -- the united states. if they bring overcoming to the ukrainians they can receive up to $100,000. this is a really good turn on a $10 billion tank. -- $10 million tank. i'm hoping to get that message out. president zelenskyy says he wants russian troops to surrender. we think alike. it occurred to me, we have russian diplomat's today, tickly younger ones who are -- particularly younger ones who are around the world. they will be vilified and humiliated, they know the truth. legislation that russian diplomat's will have the ability to receive refugee status if they come to america. somewhat of a backhanded slap, a democrat, deeply i was there with him? he did a -- he did a cnn interview, and a member of the russian duma call for him to be kidnapped and brought to trial. i have proposed that refugees of the duma can receive refugee status and company i state. we have to -- the united states.
