$300 from $400. they didn't get closer to the $618 billion package. the $1.9 trillion bill includes 350 billion for state and local governments and a portion of the money tied to unemployment rates. they took issue with the $130 billion in emergency funding for schools, the majority won't be spend for 1 to 7 years and a third round of $1,400 stimulus checks which will go to felons like the boston bomber. senator tom cotton tried to stop it but every democrat voted it down. senator tom cotton voted in favor of the last bill and we asked for him comment on that. while no republicans supported it, joe manchin sided with the republicans about trimming back unemployment. now the white house is working the phones. biden is ready to go when it passes. >> our legislative team are certainly not taking anything for granted. they're checking in with officers, making sure they have the questions answered. >> the house is expected to vote on this tomorrow and then it should head to the president's desk. charles? >> jacqui, thanks so much. another $1.9 trillion on the way. but in case you're keeping count, the committee for responsible federal budget estimates a trillion has yet to have been spent. so do we keep the spigots flowing and will impact will that have on the economy? with me steve moore, jessica tarlov and liz peek. also, this is heavy open households. a lot of money when it's said and done. the impact? >> yeah, i want to quote larry summers, a liberal economist that does not like the size of the bill. it could really stimulate inflation, charles. the most telling statistic that he talked about is that the loss of income and wages from covid he estimates to be about $30 billion a month. this bill is going to provide five times that much in benefits. he just says there's too much in the bill and it's going to produce too much spending and basically generate inflation. there's $2 trillion on the side lines in the hands of american consumers. it's irresponsible and reckless to push this much more money out into the economy. >> jessica, i read another report that said a family of four many massachusetts after this next check goes out would have received $50,000. golly. that's generous. is it too much? is there anything in there in your mind that this incentiizes people? is there anything in there makes you think maybe we've gone too far? >> no, not that i can see. i'm sure someone else on the panel will illuminate some detail like the boston bomber will get some checks. and not speaking about the millions of felons -- >> you're okay with that. >> no. the people go with the one exception to the role. nobody wants the boston bomber to have extra money in his pact. they want the millions of formers fell helps that have been given the right to vote in many states to get their checks because they're still american citizens. what the american rescue plan does is cuts poverty by a third, kits child poverty by half and make sure the people that earn the least, the bottom 20% will get 23% of those benefits. if you compare that to the trump tax cuts from a few years ago when by the way, no one on the right side, non't the right side like they were right, the republican side was earned can about how much was going to be given to the top earners. what it was going to the deficit. everybody gets their deficit hawk hat on when the other party is in power. this is to save a country that has been crippled. the economy is falling apart. i don't think $1,400 or making sure your teachers are vaccinated or state and local governments get money or unemployment benefits. there's no too much at this moment. >> let me jump in here. start, i don't want to relitigate the president's tax cuts other than to say as we entered last year, poverty had gone to an all-time low. blue collar wages were up 3% year over year, something unheard of. the ironic of this -- listen to the white house press secretary, jen psaki. then i'll get your thoughts. >> the president is taking nothing for granted. i will note that this puts us one step closer. most progressive pieces of legislation in american history. >> the floor is yours. >> where to start? look, i'm so disgusted by this. i'm disgusted by the fact that not one single democrat in the senate out of 50 has any kind of fiscal conscious right now. all -- there were two no votes in the house. 99% of democrats voted for this bill. we now have a situation where jessica was saying the economy is crippled. let's be clear about this. it's crippled in new york, crippled in kentucky, california and new york. right now i'm sitting in orlando, florida and i have to tell you, there's no crippled economy here. this place is booming. hotels are open, restaurants are open, disney world down the street from me here is open. why is it? why is it that the people in florida -- i talked to ron desantis about this this weekend. he's the governor of florida. why is it that florida that did it right, they got it right. they did not lock down their economy or shut down their businesses. they kept people safe. they have a low death rate compared to other states and they have like 5.2% unemployment right now. and new york under cuomo, they have high death rates, killed their businesses. now florida, which has a slightly higher population than new yorked gets half of the money that new york does? this is absurd. it's crazy. it's a pay-off to the liberal democratic states that shut down their economy and their businesses. why are we giving $20,000 to public employees? can somebody explain that, jessica? >> give me a second here. i want to get back to a point that liz makes. the nasdaq closed in correction, which means it's down 10%. the stocks moving high, the high flyers, there's something spooking the market. even the s&p was lower. many point to this bill. you alluded to it. the inflationary aspects of this bill at a time when there's so much money on the sidelines. your thoughts. >> well, a lot of indicators of inflation are up. obviously energy costs are going way up. food prices are up. import prices are up. so you have to be careful here. another $2 trillion bill is not being careful. i'd like to add, we really haven't talked about the economy. jessica said it was hurting. adding 400,000 jobs in january in the private sector is not a cripple's economy. if all of the states opened up, all of the low age earners that got bounced out of jobs, they'll go back to work. you can't have too much. send everybody in america $100,000. that would poll well, which is what democrats say is the -- >> don't put any ideas out there. i don't have a lot of time. jessica, the final thought on this. many people believe it's more political pay-off than anything else. >> well, to liz's point, i may be a liberal and i like big spending, $100,000 is a lot. i'm very lucky. i kept my job. i don't need that $100,000 jobs but there's a lot of americans that need more than 1,400. to steve's point why this is a blue-state bailout. republicans start to separate the country when times get tough. we don't want to help california. we don't want to hem people in new york. all the taxes that i pay in new york help people in red states year round like alabama and kentucky. i don't complain about it. this is the united states of america. everybody's life should matter whether i was wearing a mask and you were running around disney world with ron desantis. >> neil: a mechanism was put in place for blue states to get more. new york democratic governor andrew cuomo is digging in after politicians are telling to get out. we'll have more from albany that is calling for his resignation. >> i was elected by the people of the state. i'm not going to resign because of allegations. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ excuse me ma'am, did you know that liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need?

>> charles, good afternoon. governor cuomo was at the javits center. it was a temporary covid-19 hospital that had 2,500 beds that went underutilized. the governor is trying to push this business as usual mentality. the reality it's anything but that. the new york state assembly said they're introducing an impeachment resolution today, which would get the ball rolling on impeachment in the assembly. according to fox news, there's 47 state legislators calling for his resignation or impeachment. republicans need support from the democratic controlled legislature to move forward on this. >> after this weekend, it just became more and more apparent that regardless of how many hearings or investigations that we have, the real problem now is governor lost so much credibility that he can't go forward. we want to do this impeachment in the assembly. we need a simply minority votes. >> the two top democrats turned on cuomo, andrea stewart cousins say we have to govern without distraction. cuomo said he's not going anywhere. >> no, there's no way i resign. let's do the investigation and get the findings and go from there. i'm not going to be distracted by this either. >> interestingly enough, yesterday in a telephone news conference, cuomo made sure to highlight that democratic senators chuck schumer, kirsten gillibrand and jen psaki, all of them support cuomo's stance and belief that everybody needs to hold their judgment until the attorney general finishes the independent investigation into these sexual harassment allegations. charles? >> charles: bryan, thanks very much. the albany times union calling for cuomo to resign saying he squandered the public trust. my guest is not a member of the editorial board but has governor extensively. we also want to mention we called the governor's office for an interview. we have not heard back yet. thank you for joining the show. the paper, the editorial board side of your paper, what brought them to this conclusion to join this white course that now is the time for the governor to step down? >> that's a good question. as for a reporter, i'm on the news side, not the opinion side. i don't have much in terms of the conversations they're having or what the process is like. but i do know as anyone who is following the news closely knows there's been this drip, drip of stories that have buckingham palace happening here. first it was nursing homes. and then the alleged sexual harassment and then the bullying behavior. i think for many critics who it's fair we're among them, they felt like it's gotten to the point where the governor is not able to do his job the way he has been doing it and keep up with all of the scandals and investigations. >> charles: the inquiry that he's referring to, does it cover all of these things you just outlined? wouldn't cover the bullying. we've heard from so many fellow democrats in the state that that is a fact, that they've always been subjected to it. the nursing home cover-up aspect continues to widen and gets more intriging every day. now we have five accusers. what are they looking into right now? >> yeah, good question. there's so many investigations going on right now. it's hard to keep them straight. there's the state attorney general investigation. that was started where she will depputize a law form to look at his sexual harassment investigations. add there's one by the fbi into the nursing homes and one by the eastern district u.s. attorney also related to the nursing homes. it's reported those began after the transcript of the secret meeting with cuomo's top aide melissa derosa when she said "we froze" and had not given up the numbers. so they're looking to his administration's decision to withhold that information from the public and the policies that went into that. >> charles: edward, are you surprised that there's not been harsher criticism from the mainstream media? you know, we came into this segment talking about prominent democrats that seem to have circled the wagon. five accusers have been something of, you know, listen, let's -- for the better part of valor, let's move on. feels like there's a fair amount of media and political support for andrew cuomo. >> you know, it's funny. six months ago i wrote a story about how andrew cuomo had become the most powerful governor in the country. it was really about how he consolidated his power over the state using the budget process, he had been in office for a decade, appointed people to all of these influential positions. he has a lot of allies in the state. he has a lot of ally as cross the democratic establishment. i think it's stunning when you think about the number of people that already have spoken out about him. considering the democrats have a strangle hold on him. it speaks to how seriously the allegations are being taken and how fed up the former allies and political leaders in new york are at both of his behavior and the various scandals and issues that have arisen. >> charles: no doubt people are fed up. thanks for coming on. migrants are flooding in. now one border mayor telling president biden's team to figure this out. what is the white house telling him?

administration officials traveled to the border as migrant crossings surge. griff jenkins has more from the border. >> we're out here next to a migrant camped opened under president trump. across the river, you can see brownsville, texas. that's in the rio grant valley sector. ground zero for the surge. that's where the white house team went because the numbers are approaching the crisis levels of 2014 and 2019. now, we want to show you, our viewers, we have a drone shot that we can put up over this migrant camp that held as many as 1,000, about 800 when it closed its doors. it closed because of the new biden policied that allowed asylum seekers to cross in to the u.s. not all of them were able to get over there. jorge garcia needed a translator. he was not able to cross. he told us how his plight is going. here's what he had to say. >> asking with help for family and work. they're all we're asking for. at the end, i'm going to be with the family. i could cross illegally. >> and charles, the migrants in this camp that were allowed to cross unlike jorge, they go to brownsville and dropped off in a bus station where they're tested for covid. the new numbers that have tested positive, 185 out of 1,000 that have been tested since the beginning of january. a whole picture here on the ground of what do white house officials needed to see, needed to know. you also have across the river those that are not seeking asylum, that are crossing illegally. those numbers are the big ones, charles. the agents told me yesterday that they had over 1,200 arrested along the border. charles? >> charles: wow. griff, thank you very much. last month migrant releases began at the border this after the biden administration rolled back trump's remain in mexico policy. my next guest is worried about the impact on local communities during the pandemic and he met with white house officials to voice his concerns. yuma arizona republican mayor doug nichols joins us. we put out a call to the border patrol and dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas. border patrol not entertaining national requests right now. so thank you for joining us. a virtual call with the white house. how did it go? >> it went well. i had to make sure that i had everything described as far as what we're seeing on the ground and what our concerns are for our community. there was dialogue back and forth. look forward to seeing positive results out of that meeting. >> your concerns that you voice. can you share them with us and the access you feel could be imminent. >> the concerns are part of the same ones that we had in 19 overlaid with the covid concern that you just talked about in brownsville. so we don't have a very robust nonprofit structure that deals with migrants coming through. it's not a very regular activity for us. and we're a smaller community. so one of my main concerns is we need to make sure that dhs, if they have to release, is releasing in communities that can handle that kind of load. so larger communities that have those resources. and then on the covid said, we don't understand or we don't know what the level of infection rate is of those coming in our community and while we're trying to manage regular border traffic, which we do a lot of here, we have a very robust economy with mexico, we're trying to control that on the legal side so we limit exposure. so on the illegal side, we then have this release into our community that is not really being managed. so moving forward, what we're looking for and i believe we've got the ability to do over the weekend, congress passed the $400 million in the fema food and shelter program. some of that dollar will be headed here along with our boots on the ground response potentially from fema. the details are yet to come together. that's the direction the conversation went. >> all right. i read where kyrsten sinema might be involved. is there a request for tents? would you like to have a tent city established or something more -- something different or above something like that? >> really what needs to happen, if there's any tent or soft-sided shelter, it needs to be on the vhs side. it's my understanding there's a program to get soft-sided shelter in the border patrol facility so that they can have the capacity for these surges. on the city side, what we struggle with is the ability to get people out of town. the migrants are not looking to stay in yuma. they're looking to go to other parts of the country. there's just limited resources to get people where they need to go. so that is really the bigger issue. making sure that there's not a lag and people getting where they're going to go. so tents could be helpful in the interim to get people where they need to go. long-term we're not looking for a tent city. looking looking at is -- >> charles: thank you very much, mayor. thank you. we'll stay abreast of what is going on there. i do want to take the audience live to the white house where president biden is making remarks on international women's day. let's listen this. >> i want to shine the light on these accomplishments for those women today because the general has reiterated in an interview this last week and i'm the second person to say this, it's hard to be what you can't see. it's hard to be what you can't see. you'll soon see. today is international women's day. we all need to see and recognize the barrier-breaking accomplishments of these women. we need the young women just beginning their careers in military service to see it and know that no door will be closed with them. we need women and men throughout the ranks to see and celebrate women's accomplishments. we need little girls and boys that have grown up dreaming serving for their country to know that is what generals in the united states armed forces look like. this is what presidents of the united states look like. so i'd like to spent just a few minutes today making sure that america knows who general van ovost is and general richardson is. they're aviators. both learned to fly planes before they were old enough to drive a car. general van ovost is a first generation american. the daughter of dutch immigrants that owned a flying operation. she loved the freedom of flight. as a teenager, flew herself to see sally ride lift off as the first woman in space. 16 years old. goes down to see sally ride. she said he was several thousand feet watching from a distance. women were band from flying combat missions when the general joined the force. so she focused on becoming a test pilot. instead of learning to fly one plane, she learned to flied everything, including air force 2 when i was vice president. general van ovost is overseas, air mobility command, approximately 107,000 air american and 1,100 planes in the air power and humanitarian assistance to go everywhere in the world that need be. from flying water to texas after the recent storms to ensuring our wounded warriors are evacuated from medical care from anywhere in the world, she gets it done. lieutenant general richardson's parents were proud patriots and must have rubbed off. lieutenant general richardson joined the army. her father encouraged to join rotc in college even though that meant commuting to a different school. when she joined, women were banned from flying attack helicopters. she flew support missions and lift operations of the huey and the blackhawk. now as a commanding general of the united states army north, lieutenant general richardson oversees military ground responses here in north america. all over -- all over the last year. that's meant getting military medical personnel deployed to help in response this pandemic. more than 4,500 medical military personnel deployed in 14 states and the navajo nation to treat covid-19 patients. means more than 2,200 medical personnel are working on soon will be at vaccination sites in eight states and the united states virgin islands. i'm so proud of the incredible work lieutenant general richardson and her team have done. these are warriors, crisis-tested commanders and they're not done yet. neither of these incredible generals is resting on her lawyers or her stars. they're using their voices and actively working to change policies in the military to make it easier and safer for more women, not just to join the military but to stay in the military and to thrive. i'm incredibly proud that in 2015 under the obama-biden administration we took the final steps to open up all positions in the military to anyone to qualified to serve in them. the women joining today's military are not told no when they apply to fly jets because of their gender. they're not told no when they want to apply to ranger school or infantry officer basic training. but they all know that there's much more work to be done to ensure women's leadership is recognized and we have more diverse leaders. we reach the top echelon of command for all who are qualified. including all women, all women. all women feel safe and respected in our military, period. you know, some of it is relatively straightforward work. we're making good progress designing body armor that fits women properly. tailoring combat uniforms for women. updating requirements for their hair styles. some of it is going to take, you know an intensity of purpose and mission to really change the culture and habits that cause women to leave the military. women are making sure more diverse candidates are considering -- being considered for a career advancing opportunities at every level. women aren't penalized in their careers for having children and women are not just token members but integral parts throughout all branches and all divisions. they can completely, fairly engage in promotion and compete all across the board, including on age and gender neutrality, physical fitness tests. you know, that both members of the -- of the military, couples can thrive while serving. like lieutenant general richardson and her husband, lieutenant general richardson. i might add, i want to thank him getting me off a mountain on a goat path when our helicopter went down on a snowstorm. that ride down the mountain was perilous. thank you. we have to take on sexual assault. it's abhorrent and wrong. in our military, so much of cohesion is built on trusting your fellow service members to have your back. there's nothing less than a threat to our national security. i know secretary austin takes this as seriously as vice president harris and i do. that is why this first memo as secretary was a directive to take on sexual assault in the military and why he stepped up independent review. he set up a review to make concrete recommendations for changes. this is an all-hands on deck effort under my administration to end the scourge of sexual assault in the military. we're focused on that from the very top. i know that we can do it. the u.s. military has defeated american enemies on land, air and sea. this is not beyond us. i want to thank the generals for their exemplary careers to our country. you're america's patriotism at its finest. undaunted and absolutely able to do anything by any obstacle. open wide the opportunity and the next challenge. it's my great honor to serve as your commander-in-chief. i look forward to hearing your active duty and recommendations of how we work together to keep the american people safe and meet every challenge in the 21st century. i want to thank you both and i want to thank the former general -- i keep calling him general. the guy that runs that outfit over there. i want to make sure that we thank the secretary for all he's done to try to implement what we've just talked about and for recommending these two women for promotion. thank you all. may god bless you all and may god protect our troops. >> charles: president biden making remarks for international women's day. now this. >> the u.s. has identified three online publications directed by russia's intelligence services aiming at the pfizer and vaccine. >> yes. >> what can you do the about this to counter act? >> we can fight with every tool that we have, disinformation. we're certainly familiar with the approach and tactics of russian disinformation effects. >> charles: that was jen psaki as we're learning of new disinformation campaign, this is out of russia, trying to undermine confidence in our vaccine roll-out. my next guest knows the throw from russia very well. ric grenell joins me now. great seeing you, ambassador. just -- it's sort of remarkable. we've had this amazing roll-out. operation warm speed was an amazing success. more and more americans are accepting it. what does russia -- why would they try this? >> look, russia is a problem. always been a problem. we used to call it propaganda, charles. now we developed fancy terms for it. it really is good old fashioned russian propaganda. they do it all the time. they do it in elections, do it whenever we have a positive movement in the united states. the american people need to be very focused on making sure that this russia disinformation is shouted down. i'll tell you though, jen psaki should have started by talking about russian disinformation and the fact that we had 50 former u.s. intelligence officials two weeks before the election call hunter biden's laptop a russian disinformation line. that is the chinese line. we have to be sophisticated enough to know that we can't fall for today. the white house has still not called the hunter biden russian disinformation. it's actually a real thing. so the russian disinformation goes both ways. it's coming from the biden team and the democrats for a very long time. >> charles: you bring up china. just today alone, the number of articles i read from the new flash point of the world being taiwan, of other things, the corporate america not stepping up to the plate, not even admitting there's a problem there. what is it about china that they seem to intimidate this white house so much and large corporations to the point that i think -- this is the last chance that we can make a stand and i'm afraid we're not going to. >> russian is a problem. china is a crisis. every time we hear to say look over there at russian, don't look at the hunter biden laptop a and the biden family ties to china. this is a problem. beijing loves that. this is exactly what the chinese line is. i think what we have to do is understand that china for a long time has quietly been coming in and beating us at a couple of different games. first of all, they require all of their companies to partner with american companies if you want to come in and do cloud services or technology. american companies have to partner with chinese companies. the reason for this is that they then have a foot hold to the chinese companies, the communist party does in getting the data. so we can teach the chinese how to fish and then we have a real problem. we can teach them how to code, for instance. supplying them with products and services but not teaching them how to do it. i think is the real solution. we're teaching them how to code, giving them our coding and that's a real problem for the future. we shouldn't be having our american companies do that and tomorrow of them are. >> and now they're passing us up in ai and 5g. california, the recall effort against governor newsome has picked up a lot of speed. looks like it will be successful. now people are looking ahead and saying if newsome is not the governor -- you're hearing it more and more. your name keeps popping up. would you you'd be interested in that job? >> look, i'm trying not to be politically cute with this question. i'm not convinced that we're going to make it to the recall effort. when alex padilla, our secretary of state state in california became our senator, gavin newsome got to a point immediately in person to fill that secretary of state's job. this is now a woman who is moving in to the job who is going to be counting all of the unverified signatures and going through the process leading the verification process. we have about two million unverified signatures. we need 1.5 million verified. we still have until march 17 to get this done. we need every californian that is concerned about the management of this state to sign the petition and send it in. because i'm afraid that the new secretary state who was interviewed by gavin newsome during this recall process, that she's focused and probably told to make sure that there isn't going to be a recall election. gavin has announced that he's going to send out the ballot the same way he sent out the ballots previously, which means sending ballots in the mail. this is a real problem in california and we have to solve it. >> charles: well, i don't leave in california but i think from all i know, you would make a fantastic governor. you've done extraordinarily well in everything that you touched. thanks very much. >> thank you. >> charles: we have a call to governor newsome's office and hope he joins us soon. meantime, call it a royal risk. prince harry and meghan

>> charles: thanks, blake. moving in the right direction. now this. >> didn't have a plan. >> we didn't have a plan. >> it was suggested by somebody else. my family literally cut my off financially. i have to get security for us. >> hold up. wait a minute. your family cut you off? >> yeah. the first half of the first quarter of 2020. but i got what my mom left me. without that, we wouldn't have been able to to this. >> charles: a royal cut off? prince harry said they cut deals because they were cut off from the royal family and he had to rely on money that he inherited from princess diana. kat timpf joins me. everybody is talking about this interview. where do you come down? did you break out the violins last night? >> look, i'm one of those people that the last thing i would ever want to be is a member of the royal family. i get wanting to leave. there's a dress code for when you're seen in public. that's not -- i'm wearing sweat pants right now and you can't tell. there could have been ways that people could have seen it. but when you talk about how hard it was for you financially when the amount that you were left was $10 million, i think that is something that most people don't want to hear. and especially right now with this pandemic we're still dealing with. people are struggling financially. when they say they're struggling financially, charles, they don't mean they only have $10 million. if i'm ever lucky enough to be worth $10 million and you hear me complaint about it, everybody watching right now, you have permission to punch me in the face. >> charles: you know, here's the thing. i'm not a royal watcher. some of it bores me. that being said, i'm interested in big money deals. i read where their goal all the time was to become this megabrand. in fact, some people said they could be a billion dollar brand. you weigh the royal money and a billion dollars and fame, which they're seeking half the couple is seeking and you can see why some people are suspicious about parts of this story. >> a couple things i was suspicious about. megan said she never googled him. i don't buy that. you don't have to google him to know he's a prince, right? you don't have to google him to know that your marriage to a prince will be different than marrying bob from accounting. it's a little different. >> charles: just a i'll will. >> exactly. they're doing just fine. that i have deals on deals on deals if addition to the $10 million that they started with. they'll be okay. >> charles: the folks on the u.k. and britain in particular are very upset though with harry saying that he allowed meghan to make comments that people were offended by. the entire nation greeted them with open arms and fell in love with her. maybe this the -- the social justice act is where they split apart. your thoughts? >> could be true. it is such a polarizing thing. i never pay attention to this stuff but over 17 million viewers in the united states. with anything meghan and harry, was it this, was it that. was it the tabloids, back forth. >> charles: they're going to make it. netflix, spotify.they don't have to worry about cash. that will do it for me here. neil will be back tomorrow. you can catch me on the fox business network "making money". the symptom market is all over the place. right now hand it over to "the five" that starts right now. >> i'm like a pig in blood pudding. it's like a story with two cuomos. doesn't matter who loses. we all win. >> they didn't want him to be a prince or princess not knowing what the gender would be, which would be different from protocol. and that he wasn't going to receive security. all around this same
