speak to their state transportation departments, governors to get a list of infrastructure priorities. congressional democrats want to cram more in there than just bridges, roads and trains. the budget chairman told the hill the next reconciliation bill will likely combine infrastructure, healthcare and more as some colleagues are pushing to pass other priorities like immigration reform through reconciliation. that is the procedural tool that democrats used to pass the covid bill without republican support. it's unclear if those types of initiatives could get through the process. some could argue they're not tied to the budget. we're not there yet anyway. republicans expressed willingness to work with democrats on infrastructure, which is the biggest focus. >> this bold action is ours. if we want to work with republicans, we will. where we can we will. we will not be deterred from big bold action when we can't work with them. >> the white house sees the infrastructure as a way to create jobs and tackling climate while making sustainable investments. republicans will be leery of running up the costs. >> i don't think the american people are morons unlike my colleagues. many of them, most of them will be happy to get the money. but they understand that we're borrowing all of this money. we don't have 5% of it. >> president biden has laid out arguments to support more big spending like we saw with the covid relief bill. >> we have to spend this money to make sure we have economic growth. unrelated to how much it's going to help people. guess what? every single major economist out there, left, right and center supported this plan. >> so lawmakers are shooting to have a list of priorities from their states by next friday, have the bill out by memorial day. the goal is to have it passed by september, neil. >> neil: all right. jacqui, thanks very much. just an update on the president. he said every mayor economist was supporting this plan to be fair, they were supporting stimulus, not all supporting almost $2 trillion of stimulus. if jacqui is right, no reason to doubt, we have more stimulus and more money to be spend coming down the road. that is what irks my nest guest, chip roy. congressman, this could be an appetizer, the nearly $2 trillion that could be dwarfed hahn this. where is this go something. >> you're right, this reckless spending is racking up a lot of debt for our kids and grandkids and undermining the stability. people around the world are looking at us and we're dumping money out in to the economy. wondering why we might have inflationary pressures. besides the fact that we're spending the money to fund the tyranny in washington that is stepping on your and my freedom, funding teacher union bureaucrats, funding, expansion of obama care subsidies. trying to create a universal living wage, the dream of the welfare state democrats to increase the expansion of the state in washington d.c. >> neil: to be fair to you, congressman, you've been very vigilant trying to control spending in washington no matter who the president is. the fact of the matter is, republicans lecturing democrats on spending is like me telling somebody to eat a salad. they wouldn't take the advice. what i'm watching is such an overamount of spending in an environment where the economy is already booming. people can argue over some of the data for some folks. the fact of the matter is, we could see a double digit advance in our economy year over year to say nothing about speaking up speed as we speak. the question is with interest rates backing up because of that, not dramatically but somewhat and the cost of all of that debt going with up because it is, we could find ourselves in a pretty serious situation here. >> neil, i appreciate you recognize that i was consistent and that i took on the trump administration loudly on spending. i have done that my entire career. republicans don't have clean hands with spending. but my democrat colleagues are stepping on the gas in unprecedented ways. let's consider over the last year now, we'll have spend $6 trillion on covid. talking about $2 trillion in infrastructure spending, another couple trillion on green new deal spending. that's when we're running trillion dollar annual deficits. that is $10, 11, 12 trillion more than we're taking in in terms of income. that's unsustainable. more importantly, neil, we're funding government interfering with our lives. we're funding government shutting down businesses and to have teachers teach our kids evil and not secure our boarder. we're funding government to do things we shouldn't be doing and will have a negative economic consequence while we watch interest rates go up. now we're going to run over the gap with reckless spending. >> neil: bottom line, they run the table right now, congressman. they control the house, the senate, control the white house. they seem to be responding as republicans briefly did to full control to just ramming what they can as much as they can. seems like whatever you want, it ain't going to happen. >> we're going to do everything we can to pump the brakes on that. takes a pretty good -- takes 60 to get some things done in the senate. we're going to hold the line. >> neil: for now. >> but at the end of the day, we have to stop this from moving through the senate so rapidly. the causing sauce needs to work. >> neil: we shall see. they -- thanks, congressman. the impact with lee carter and charles payne. charles, the bottom line have the economy is picking up considerable steam. part of the reason why interest rates are backing up. because the numbers have been so good. the expansions have been so many and noted that, you know, it's not a surprise that all of this is happening. but it does seem to be a surprise to many on capitol hill that want to keep spending more because they don't think it is happening. what do you tell them? >> i think they know that -- listen, we're talking about perhaps this year being the biggest gdp year going back to ronald reagan. it's trillions and trillions of dollars pouring in. trillion dollars hasn't been spent from last year so we're going to pour more into that. a lot of politicses on the democratic side want to seize on the moment. you keep getting the messages like yeah, we're doing great but these dark messages. don't cheer yet but. i thought it was interesting when nancy pelosi said the other day when asked, when does it all stop? when does the virus stop mutating? judging on the flu, never. that's the answer. we'll keep pumping. it's seizing on the moments. you're right. i wouldn't be surprised if maybe they were to go ahead with a gambet of getting rid of the filibuster. they're going for broke. it's going to feel great to everybody because that's a lot of money sloshing around. show me the trillion dollars and i'll show you a good time. how about if we showed you seven or seven trillion until it runs out? >> neil: charles, this is a family show. keep it down. lee, you know, to differ with some of these future spending efforts is at least this time we understand that they're going to come up with ways to pay for it. tax hikes and the rest. the president made it clear who he's targeting, this is the president earlier today. >> we don't have anything against wealthy people. a great idea, going to make millions of dollars. that's fine. i have no problem with that. guess what? you have to pay your fair share. >> neil: all right. the president deliberately stopped on my remarks. the point is the rich pay their fair share. what is the fair share? that will be the pitch. the folks we're targeting are the well-to-do, businesses and all of that. we're talking here, you know, trillions more dollars on top of -- charles said the $6 trillion already spent. trillions more for other projects. i think you could tax the rich at 100% and not cover the cost of this. what are you hearing? >> yeah, there's no doubt about it. we can't afford what we have already spent just by taxing the wealthy and what has planned with infrastructure coming next, there's even more to come. the thing is, this is all wildly popular. taxing the wealthy, 3/4 americans say yes, do it. when you look at the rest of the spending, 3/4% of americans agree with what just happened in the $1.9 trillion spending. so the democrats right now are winning in the court of public opinion. the question is how long is this love going to last. >> neil: $1.9 trillion that americans supported, i don't think they know what is in it. when i bring it to people's attention, they say i don't like that. wait a minute. i thought this was urgent. we're not going to spend half of it until future years. when you bring it to their attention, everybody supports stimulus relief. but as far as getting checks out to people, extending jobless benefits. but when they get into the weeds on this, then they're shocked. maybe it's too late to get that across. >> you know, i don't think it's too late to get it across at all. the republicans are smart, they'd be using the next two years to talk about wasteful spending. they agree that americans need money right now. the question is how much. dan crenshaw had an interesting argument. listen, do you want to give the government $5,760 in order to get back $1,400? that's what the democrats have just done. you have given them more money than you're getting back. who knows your money more than you? that's the argument that needs to be made by republicans what is happening to the other $4,000. is it worth it? is that where americans want to put their money? there's a lot of priorities out there that americans are looking for. yes, they want relief. do they want there excess spending? i don't be popular when you have to pull it apart. that's not going to happen until people have the most popular parts in the pocketbook show up. >> neil: charles, wall street doesn't seem to care whether it's wasteful spending or not. stimulus is stimulus money. they seem to embrace it. there has to be a point that what are we embracing here? >> i don't know what that point is, neil. wall street is so short-sighted. they just want the machine to keep going. by the way, i think wall street believes that they will be the ones somehow bailed out at the expense of everyone else. so wall street doesn't have any fiscal discipline at all with respect to any of this. keep the money printing, see what the market have doing. it's a great party as far as they're concerned. they don't ever want it to stop. >> neil: yeah, that is the case, charles. final word. lee, thank you as always. meantime, big news out of the empire state. what governor cuomo made very clear is not happening at least for now. . >> let the review proceed. i'm not going to resign. i was not elected by the politicians. i was elected by the people. car insurance so you only pay for what you need?

are you hearing he's hoping to wear this out, run out the clock? what? >> well, thanks for having me, neil. i think this situation around governor cuomo is changing day by day an hour by hour. there's more reports of allegations of inappropriate behavior by the governor. a piece in new york magazine that was published earlier today describing the office culture, which mean former aides considered to be toxic. these have an impact on state lawmakers that also have control over the governor and who have begun an impeachment investigation thursday. democrats control the new york state assembly and the new york state senate. the assembly is the house where impeachment investigations have to originate. as the week has gone by, we've seen the number of accusers rise and the number of lawmakers supporting governor cuomo dwindle. more than a dozen members of the house of representatives have calling for him to resign and the number of assembly members is now above 75, which is above the threshold. >> neil: the game changed thanks in large part to your aggressive reporting, jimmy. it's true that aides tried to discredit some of these accusers or focus on one. that is a whole different cat of worms, isn't it? >> certainly our reporting, my reporter along with them did receive reaction thursday evening. what we found in the course of our reporting is that cuomo aides reached out to at least half a dozen former administration officials after lindsey boylan, a former advisory to the governor, first said on twitter in december that the governor had sexually harassed her for years. mrs. boylan said the governor kissed her on the lips in his manhattan office without her consent in 2018 and during an october 2018 flight, the governor suggested let's play strip poker. governor cuomo and his spokeswoman have said that boylan's account is untrue and the governor said that he wants an independent investigation play out before he makes any major actions or before new yorkers draw conclusions. what we know, neil, is that before any of that happened in december when the tweets first went live from miss boylan, aides to the governor engaged in what we determined was a coordinated efforts to reach out to see if mrs. boylan had reached out to former staffers or see if people had dirt or things to say about mrs. boylan. now, administration officials responded to our report by saying that this effort was organic. which as a party a senior adviser to the governor said the administration's effort boiled after boylan's tweets and she reached out to the executive chamber. as a party said, as a result, the governor and his allies -- the governor's aided and allies reached out to some former colleagues to check in and make sure that they had a heads-up. we've spoken to a few people that got the called. at lease one of them a 35-year-old that lives in rod rosenstein. she was surprised be i the outreach and took it as intimidation. he said none of these calls were meant to intimidate anybody. >> neil: the governor was among those call something. >> our report does not indicate that. what we have learned is his top aide, melissa derosa is the person that sort of encouraged this outreach to be made. that the outreach itself came from -- >> neil: did the governor know this outreach was being made, jimmy? >> our reporting has not so far indicated anything about what the governor knew or did not know. what we have reported is that the calls were made at the behest of mrs. derosa, the governor's top aide. >> neil: thanks for clarifying that. thanks, jimmy. following the story for the "wall street journal" with a cracker jack team trying to get the who, what and where. that is a slippery legal slope as well if it extends to coercion. nobody is saying that but it's raising concerns. we told you about the bipartisan push at the border to try to resolve what they're not calling to be a crisis. certainly not from the biden administration's point of view. but it's certainly something severe. henry cuellar is here. riders, the lone wolves of the great highway. all they need is a bike and a full tank of gas. their only friend?
