todd: james comer joins us now. thanks for being here.but let's give it to the viewers. $900 billion bipartisan covid-19 relief focusing right there on extending ppp, $600 stimulus checks and $300 billion in small business ate. aid. but in your estimation does this bill focus enough on helping struggling americans? >> i think it does. i think a lot of people that are concerned about the spending spree that congress has been on for the past several years should be confident that of that $900 billion price tag, several hundred billion was money carried over from the previous cares act that wasn't spent so this is targeted relief. this goes to businesses that have truly lost income. this also goes to targeted displaced workers. unlike what the democrats were wanting, just to spend more money wrecklessly with a liberal christmas wish list, republicanses were disciplined and made sure taxpayers got their money's worth. i think it is enough. i think you'll see a positive reaction on wall street and main street. carley: chuck schumer and a nancy

let's bring in to republican james comer, ranking member on the house oversight committee. good morning to you and happy new year to you. who knew we would be here, new year's eve 2020. what do you want to see next for your party when it comes to the standoff over stimulus? >> while i strongly support the president. one of the problems to send has right now is that the president has instilled upon the republican base that this is direct stimulus to them, even though i think the cares act did a great deal to save our economy with respect to small businesses and keeping workers on the payroll, then a lot of struggling businesses, there are a lot of americans that didn't feel the effects of the stimulus. in the president with his plan for $2,000 to every individual that qualifies from an income standpoint is something that's very popular with republicans and obviously it's popular with the democrats. if you go back to the stimulus vote last week, one of the problems they had is the leaders in the house on the senate combined a lot of different bills onto one vote. and in the m
