in case of emergency, the job of vice president is a perfect job for black woman shouldn t be but it is, and whatever you do accomplish, all they will do is give the man read it for it. anything you do immigration stuff, you got all of this banking and the internet down, all of this postpartum stuff, they would just give a man credit. by the way, mr. president, great job at being the first woman vice president of color, i don t even know how you did that part. [applause] wonderful job happy to be here but tonight, tonight is all about you all. the journalists, defenders of free speech, the people who show truth to the world through different mediums, television, print, radio, whatever china let us see on tik tok.

overlap. i was interested in your article when she talks about, she didn t think it was too late for biden to revive his earlier vision. what do you think she meant by that? well, your point is a great one, that first of all, the issue of the border tends to be as andrea herself told me a kind of threshold issue that ends up determining the sort of sense of political possibility around all other issues within the broad frame work of immigration stuff. i think when she speaks about the fact that the biden administration can still kind of right itself in certain key respects i think mainly she s looking at what the administration can do to begin to restore asylum at the border. that s one area the administration has come in with big plans, been met with opposition of various sorts and as a result back peddled with. title 42, which is a big policy the current administration has relied on, a policy from the previous administration, that s
when you see them, no matter where you are in the world. talk to me what you re seeing in hungary in terms of the humanitarian relief efforts. hungary has drawn a lot of criticism how they have dealt with previous refugees. how much of the effort you re see thing is citizen run, is organizational run, is government run? reporter: so compared to poland, 60% of the refugees so far have gone to poland. hungary gets the next biggest chunk. it is civil society and citizen run in hungary. so there s the united nations high commission for refugees, there s the red cross and church groups. and we have met a lot of individuals, people who of their own accord, they are coming, bringing food, offering accommodation. a lot of people are coming to hungary to get to budapest to get on an airplane to go somewhere elsewhere they have friends or family. there s transportation arranged for them. so hungary as a country is not getting the immigration stuff. it hasn t for some time,
