joining me now is texas congressman lance gooden.it is pretty good the biden administration trying to make it more palatable, their intention is to ramming it through with reactions from schumer and others. what is chance going through without any gop support even if they make adjustments who qualifies for the stimulus checks? >> they have done all the right optical things having 10 gop senators in the oval office. they have made lots of friendly phone calls. we want to work with republicans, we want a bipartisan bill. at the end of the day it looks like the democrats are realizing they can't get through their far left agenda without basically pushing this through in reconciliation process. i think that is what will end up happening. they would love for something in a bipartisan way to get passed. they were they ram through the other items but i just don't see that happening. i do think that president biden has come off of his demand for 1400-dollar checks to everyone. he has said he is willing to lower that threshold for who gets th

think you're right i mean i think biden does have more political space probably to work with with gooden than than trump did. on the other hand you probably you know i think you've already seen some of the criticism coming from the biden ministration on other issues aside from the nuclear is fear mission of on the on some of the other concerns so you know i think you're going to see kind of that balance of approaches i mean probably harder on some of the are kind of human rights type issues. and maybe you know more open on the arms control issues i think trying to sort extent kind of disengaged entirely from or largely from. russia issues not on both sides you know kind of pro and con i think there is it also jane your interests to explore this to change except here in the agenda and i can already see 2 sides of moscow trying to see how far they can go old just the other day for them so let's go with that sort of at diplomatic passports with. that russia would be well a 2 they can be open skies treaty provided that ad the united states returns to meet was before russia you still have by

. >> sure, and i'm sure he'd like to sell magic beans and a gooden goose and fantastical statements howrecreate and recast in narrative when there is no evidence. they didn't present it. the people who were supposed to present the evidence, i know the burden is on the house impeachment managers to bring the case and they did that. but the people who raised a factual dispute in their briefing and in their actual statements have not provided any substantive corroboration of what they've said, specifically a flurry of activity to try to stop and confront these insurrectionists. where is the evidence of that? where is the information that trump did anything to stop it and that same question keeps lingering that raskin asked. why did he leave you out to dry? why did you become sacrificial lambs in his lame duck presidency? they haven't answered that question and now they have this out there that refutes the thing they were saying about the rest of the impeachment. they were not credible. they misinformed, mischaracterized. sounds like they're the ones that just did that. >> you knew before t

jason, you heard my interview with congressman lance gooden.that is covid related. i don't know how congress gets away with this. 1.9 trillion dollars is going to mean a total of 5.3 trillion dollars in money thrown at this economy in a year and only 9% of this those do with co-individual. you have $300 million in arts and humanities, $200 million for museums and libraries, a silicon valley transit expansion, another $100 million. family planning funding. how is it possible that nancy pelosi gets all this stuff rammed through a bill that she's calling covid relief? >> because the only thing they care about is growing government and taking care of all the other swamp monsters that are inside the beltway. one of the things in there that you so smartly pointed out is the fact that what this is supposed to be going for, which is covid relief, making sure we get the vaccine distributed, making sure we help people with this bridge until we get the economy back up at 100%, that's such a minor portion, there's so much waste and so many things put in th
