just $50,000 per person. so what would it take for him at this point to say we re going to cancel this. say it. mass scale executive action like that is bound to face major legal challenges. the white house isn t ready yet to put pen to paper. there have been questions and asks about what executive authority could be used. that has been under review. i don t have anything to report on that at this point in time. so, bret, for now, the administration is moving forward, precinct for what is to come with these payments resuming in the meantime senator warren tells fox that democrats are still talking with the president about this. bret? bret: aishah hasnie lyon capitol hill. thank you. up next, updated vaccination requirements for kids in new york city plus news of another medical break through.
