and it also shows that capitol hill is blind to all the benefits of crypto. when you look at the number of people who are either under banked or on banked, both in the u. s. and globally, it's really indicative of a system that doesn't work for everyone. crypto actually solve that and not to mention it's faster, cheaper, safer than traditional payment infrastructures that are clunky and wrought with human error. so 5 percent of american adults don't have a bank account in the year of 2020, according to the federal reserve. but in any case, the industry is now warning was contend that a success of regulation of criptos will push technological innovation to other countries leaving the u. s. at a disadvantage. because now, no one can ignore the power block chain for all many forms and purposes. not just financial transactions. well, and this is long been the problem with these congressional hearings. anytime we have somebody in there who's talking about technology, it's absolutely clear that these law makers have done little to no research. they've read a couple

>> democrats on capitol hill are deeply worried about it. they started to change their messaging towards the end of the year from a focus just on build back better to a focus on the immediacy and the need to pass voting rights legislation here in the senate. you know, democrats have been having a series of conversations, a series of phone calls, a series of meetings about what could happen, how they'll try to convince senator manchin, senator sinema to potentially change the filibuster rules to pass this importance piece of legislation because they're so deeply concerned about what states are doing to potentially limit the rights of americans to go to the polls and vote. or at least making it harder for those americans to vote. democrats view this as a deeply, deeply important issue. i think a lot of democratic constituents view this as a deeply important issue. but whether or not, you know, republicans view it that way, i think so far we've seen on capitol hill at least there's little interest in doing anything at the federal level to rein

correspondent manu raju in from capitol hill. yesterday you tried to get senator manchin to try to explain what the issue. >> yes. he has some major concerns here, john. he doesn't want this bill just to allow for temporary programs to be extended. he wants the bill to actually include what could be the full breadth of the spending package. he doesn't believe that the provisions in here that could be three or five years long will only last three or five years long because he argues that americans once they get these benefits they will want them for more years and that congress will come back and extend it, so suggesting that the proposal could cost $2 drill john what the house plan costs is just simply not enough for him, john, so he wants to actually change it significantly parts of this bill to see its true cost. >> here's the question. does he want to deal? this has been on the table now for month, months, the big picture and then the house passed the plan. it's been back and forth. if he wanted a deal he could hand the presid

meantime, over on capitol hill, the senate has cleared the last big hurdle to raising the debt ceiling. just a couple of days to spare before what could have been a catastrophic default. nbc's lee lee ann caldwell is on capitol hill. >> reporter: the debt ceiling is not raised just yet but they had a key procedural rate in order to pave the way to lift the debt limit and this came after an agreement with majority leader schumer and senate minority leader mcconnell to enable the debt ceiling to be raised. so what it was, they voted yesterday on a one time rule change that would allow the senate to lift the debt limit with just a simple majority vote. now, that is very critical that there's 14 republicans that joined the key procedure vote, and there were 10 republicans who passed that rule change measure, including mcconnell's leadership team. everyone on mcconnell's leadership team voted for it, including senator johnson who has not jet announced whether he will run for re-election in conservative south dakota next year, but what this does now, it sends it to the president's desk, wher

cbs reporter skyler henry has the latest from capitol hill. >> reporter: federal reserve chair jerome powell and treasury secretary janet yellen warned a senate panel that uncertainty over the supply chain, and the omicron covid-19 variant, may cause inflation to rise into the new year. >> greater concerns about the virus could reduce people's willingness to work in person, which would slow progress in the labor market, and intensify supply chain disruptions. >> the progress of our economic recovery can't be separated from our progress against the pandemic. w.h.i.p. inflation concerns could prompt the send to taber stimulating the economy through bond purchases. >> now the economy is strong, and inflation pressures are high, so we are looking at, going to discuss the possibility of a faster conclusion. 4 the treasury secretary urged congress to late raise the debt limit by december 15, and offended the presidents massive social spending bill. >> you are going to add trillions more through the billback better. >> billback better is will lead paid for, and will not add to debtor deficit

let's go straight to our reporter on capitol hill. where do things stand? where do we go from here? >> reporter: stephanie, the bill now goes to the senate and avoid a debt ceiling and avoid clam calamitous default. here's what the bill does. attaches to a separate bill that avoids medicare cuts. a one-time rule change. suspend the filibuster just this one for raising the debt limit. once signed into law the senate can pass a bill with just a few votes in the senate. only democrats plus tiebreaking vote of vice president kamala harris to lift the debt ceiling to avoid default. goes back to the house. once they pass it, goes to president biden. they avert economic calamity, do more nominations and beyond that the single big task trying to do before christmas. build back better. likely found way satisfying republicans and democrats and don't have to used more circuitous budget reckon sill lation. >> reconciliation. >> thank you, very, very good news. other news for democrats. another challenge on their hands. a memo sounding alarms about the party's problem before the midterms with th

host: we noted a busy week on capitol hill. what with that ceremony mean for the senate's schedule? take as through what things are looking like and how it could change. guest: as you mentioned, we have a busy few weeks heading into the christmas holidays. one thing congress was able to take off their list was funding the government. the president signed a short-term continuing resolution to keep the government operating until february. there is notetaking shutdown clock that they have to worry about, but some big ticket items are on the agenda. both chambers would like to make significant progress, if not passed, the pentagon policy bill. it is in the senate last week after a disagreement over amendments. the plan is that the committee will conference at themselves and the house will pass that at some point. this is on the house schedule for the week. the majority leader sending out a note saying they hope to consider their version of this and will send it to the senate. the senate will pass it theoretically. there is still some sticky issues that they need to resolve, particularly

the front page of today's "hill" newspaper, up here on capitol hill, biden to offer a warning to vladimir putin. it was yesterday that white house press secretary jen psaki talked about that call and had questions about what president biden would say. >> the focus of the meeting, as was announced when we announced it this weekend, is an opportunity for the president to underscore u.s. concerns with russian military activities on the border with ukraine and reaffirm the united states' support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. it's also an opportunity to discuss a range of topics in the u.s. and russia relationship, including strategic stability, cyber and regional issues. you can certainly expect that our concerns about it the military activities on the border will be a prominent part of the discussion. reporter: should americans be prepared for the likelihood to see american forces on the ground in the region in the event that russia does invade? >> i'm not going to get ahead of the president's conversations with our transatlantic partners, which is going to happen

let's go from capitol hill to the white house right now. we're hearing that the white house covid response team is beginning to brief reporters. let's listen in. >> we have plenty of vaccines and booster shots available at convenient locations and for no cost. there's clear guidance on masking to help slow the spread. and we have emergency medical teams to respond to surges as necessary. so this is not a moment to panic, because we know how to protect people and we have the tools to do it. but we need the american people to do their part, to protect themselves, their children, and their communities. the more people get vaccinated, the less severe this omicron outbreak will be. 160,000 unvaccinated people have already needlessly lost their lives just since june. and this number will continue to go up until the unvaccinated take action. so i'll say et once more -- get vaccinated. with that, i'll turn it over to dr. walensky. >> thank you, jack. good morning, everyone. i'd like to start by walking you through today's data. the current seven-da

well, it is great to be back here in capitol hill. i actually lived here way back longer than 20 years ago on third street and pennsylvania near the hawk end of. i'm sure if you remember that. the house i lived in had a gas lamp in the front of it which i thought was extremely cool very 19th century. i would've stayed there except i had an appointment in egypt and that's another story. it went away and never came back to capitol hill. it's also a place for me. so i am really happy tonight to have a chance to talk about john burroughs and buried streams of washington d.c. i'm not really any kind of an expert on burroughs. but certainly there is a lot of material available on him which is pretty easy to find. i used to work at the audubon society in chevy chase they have an autobiography by name edward who is really the expert that lives up in new york. and so i want to start with one clarification. i know these things get confusing i get confused all the time by these names. very important distinction here. john burroughs is not relate

and it also shows that capitol hill is blind to all the benefits of crypto. when you look at the number of people who are either under banked or on bank, both in the u. s. and globally, it's really indicative of a system that doesn't work for everyone. crypto actually solve that and not to mention it's faster, cheaper, safer than traditional payment infrastructure that are clunky and wrought with human error. so 5 percent of american adults don't have a bank account in the year of 2020, according to the federal reserve. but in any case, the industry is now warning was contained that a success of regulation of crypto will push technological innovation to other countries leaving the u. s. at a disadvantage. because now no one can ignore the power block chain for all many forms and purposes. not just financial transactions. well, and this is long been the problem with these congressional hearings. anytime we have somebody in there who's talking about technology, it's absolutely clear that these law makers have done little to no research. they've read a couple of

tax dollars in history and unfortunately it is not getting enough attention on capitol hill. you're hearing about a bipartisan push but to be perfectly honest, emac, i don't washington will do anything because democrats are more concerned about pushing socialist agenda before the midterms rather than getting to the bottom of this. elizabeth: we're in d.c. bubble land. everybody is in a bubble. there are no programs in place to track the taxpayer money handed out to states to give away. shouldn't this be another roadblock for biden's big spending plans? let's go through the numbers. of more than $700 billion in pandemic jobless benefits, 175 billion was stolen. 140 billion of that allegedly stolen by crime syndicates overseas with the backing of governments like russia and china. we're talking 40% of the hundred billion stolen. that is lexus nexus saying that. what do you say? >> again, this is absolutely insane. not only the government lost $400 billion of taxpayer dollars, but the bulk is going to china and russia yet here is what happens. republicans on capitol hill, partic
