my blood pressure is borderline. garlique healthy blood pressure formula helps maintain healthy blood pressure with a custom blend of ingredients. i'm taking charge, with garlique. >> house republican leaders giving freshman new york congressman george santos not one, but two committee assignments, despite the countless lies he told during his campaign. he joins with other controversial colleagues as well, who also have new committee assignments tonight. talking about all of that and what it tells us about speaker mccarthy's hold on the gop, or maybe their hold on him. but i want to bring in democratic congressman richie torres of new york. he's one who's been calling on the federal election commission to launch an investigation into
8:03 pm
santos over allegations that he broke campaign finance laws. congressman, thank you for being here this evening. this is certainly a congressman and a colleague who has a lot of colleagues surrounding him. i wonder, you have questions in particular, the more than $700,000 that he seems to have spent on his campaign. why don't you ask the sec to investigate this in particular? >>, while of all the 535 members of congress, both in the senate and the house, there's no one who poses a greater threat for the integrity of congressman george santos. we know he's lied about every aspect of his life. and even worse than his lying's as possible lawbreaking. and for me, the 700,000 dollar question is where did all the money come from? a decade ago, george santos was a wage earner at a call center, a key million thousands of dollars in debt, battling of actions, as latest 2020, he
8:04 pm
reported a salary of $55,000. then miraculously in 2021 in 2022, he became a multimillionaire. he claims to have earned millions of dollars from clients. yet he disclose the names of none of those kinds on his congressional disclosure, as required by federal law. and that's why i filed an ethics complaint against george santos for falsifying his financial disclosure. we're finally getting a clear sense of exactly how the money flow from various entities into the coffers of the santos campaign. >> you know, for so many who are looking at this issue, congressman, they're wondering if there is a mechanism to have somebody who's been accused of lying, who's admitted to lying, who has the allegations are speaking about in the questions you've raised, to have them no longer be a part of congress. and have you say, you call him one of the biggest dangers to our democracy, but also to our national security. there's a distinction there. the integrity of congress, and also national security. on that latter point, what is the nature of your concern
8:05 pm
there? >> look, when you're a member of congress, you receive security clearance by virtue of your position. so when george santos has access to sensitive information, and he's about to sit on the small business community, which is an important committee, it oversees the ppp program, the payment protection program, which is one of the largest government programs the federal government has ever enacted. and can a fraud like george santos be trusted to root out rampant fraud in the ppp program? the answer is obviously no. and keep in mind, the house republicans have defended the office of congressional ethics at a time when george santos threatens to corrupt the institution from within. >> we are talking about, obviously, and it concerns you've raised, i mean, so many are sharing these similar concerns about the security clearance, about the access, the idea that he was even placed on a committee was
8:06 pm
surprising to some. there is concern in question whether mccarthy would ultimately seat him as a member of congress on a committee or essentially render him legislatively impotent in terms of being able to be on these committees. but there is a -- i want to play for you what congressman barry loudermilk had to say. because there is a question my colleague manu raju asked him about being placed on a committee, listen to this. >> he has not committed a crime. he has not been indicted on anything at this point. and in this country, you are innocent until proven guilty. so, we are going to treat him like any other member. and keep an eye on it. but >> you, know there's been precedent. steve king lost his -- over controversy. what's different here? >> i think it's nature over what was said. it was feeling like some of the things that other people have said in the past, condemning of other people. i mean, basically, he said some things about himself. >> do you buy that distinction,
8:07 pm
congressman? >> we know that george santos defrauded himself -- his way to the united states congress. he has no business being in congress, let alone, on a committee. keep in, mind there's a disconnect between local republicans who have heard directly from voters, and have called on george santos to resign, republican leadership, particularly steve mccarthy, needs every vote he can get. and he needs george santos to remain in power. so, speaker mccarthy and house republican leadership have no incentive to drain the santos swamp in washington, d.c.. >> congressman torres, thank you so much for your time this evening. >> of course. >> i want to turn now to former republican congressman joe walsh. cnn political commentator karen finney, and national political reporter eva mckend, as well. i want to pick up on that latter point, karen. because, i mean, the idea of congressman loudermilk, the distinction being that one was talking about someone else, and now they're talking about themselves. so, there is a distinction.
8:08 pm
there is talking about themselves not as an insult. he's talking about himself and professing to be something other than he actually was. >> correct. >> what is the distinction that's happening here? >> there is no distinction, actually. the distinction is political convenience, as near as i can tell. the other point about one of the things that makes him a danger to national security is, given how many lies he's told, and these financial entanglements, he's also very vulnerable to being blackmailed. and that's one of the things that, you know, constantly, when you go for security clearance, that's one of the things they look at, what is your financial situation, because they want to know if you could, if you are somebody who could be vulnerable to being blackmailed. and look, the other thing that surprised me, this is a moment where kevin mccarthy actually could've shown some spine in my opinion, and said, you know what, we're going to let the ethics committee process and these legal cases play themselves out. and as they're doing so, we're going to not see you on the
8:09 pm
committee. that actually -- now what he's done, is he's given us a talking point, every single time, to talk about the lack of seriousness of this congress, and the fact that clearly, kevin mccarthy has such a narrow margin that he had to put this liar, put him on a committee in charge of lots and lots of dollars. >> i mean, that very notion, i wish there was somebody i wanted to hear more on from this area was from mitch mcconnell, i want to hear more about the lying he's thinking of, here is. >> hopefully, mccarthy was not so we can buy all of this that he cannot be an effective speaker. i'm pulling for him. i think he's the right guy for the job. and i'm hoping it's gonna settle down and work out well. >> i mean, maybe weekend by the concessions, joe. or weekend, to karen's larger point, if you not only give away the keys to the castle, but now you're saying, hey, listen, i don't care who's on the side, is that a problem?
8:10 pm
>> this is who he is, laura. and i think we all make a big mistake -- and we should, because it's good tv. we focus on santos. we focus on marjorie taylor greene and paul goes are being put on the oversight committee. we focus on the 10 to 20 super crazies. but kevin mccarthy has an entire caucus full of election deniers. an entire caucus full of january 6th sympathizers. >> hold, on i'm having a problem hearing you. apparently, the audience, we think what you're saying is really important. i'm going to get your mic changed, i'm going you did not. -- i want to hear from you as well, joe. we'll come right back. even, on this point, the idea of the vulnerability, and how this looks. i, mean washington d.c. and politics more broadly run on business, in some respects, of optics. does this look like -- does this look right for republican voters? >> look, i think there is a situation basically we're mccarthy probably felt as if he
8:11 pm
has no choice. but it does seem curious, right. congressman israel, by a think some metrics, was the the accusations against him were not even as bad as the territory that santos is in. but you know, this is where things are. we know that political faiths changed pretty dramatically. and clearly, they think that santos is somebody they are going to need for quite some time. oh, also, i do want to mention this idea of, like, top tier committees and companies that are not as important, i think that characterization is really problematic. if you are sitting on small business, if you are overseeing science and space, those things are equally as important as well. >> of course. >> so, this idea that we're just going to get from lower tier committees and they don't matter, they're not consequential, i think is really, really problematic. >> the problem overall. i mean, main street, oftentimes more important to our economy than wall street for so many
8:12 pm
reasons. and i have to ask you on this, and come back to you, you mentioned the idea of congresswoman marjorie taylor greene and her committee assignments as well. i mean, talk about the importance of this. because she is now going to be on the homeland security committee, which was formed, just for the audiences sake, after the 9/11 attacks. that she has pushed conspiracy theories in the past, even surrounding 9/11. and i think it's a really important point to underscore that this is the committee she will have access to, and information now on that very notion. in fact, i want to play for the audience hear some of the comments she has said in the past about 9/11. >> but we witnessed 9/11, right, we've witnessed 9/11, the terrorist attack in new york and the plane that crashed in pennsylvania and the so-called plane that hit the pentagon. it's odd there is never any evidence shown for a plane at the pentagon. but anyways, i'm not going to
8:13 pm
dive into the 9/11 conspiracy. >> [laughter] >> so-called where the words to use. >> the committee form because of 9/11. and our person sits on that committee who questions are government involvement in 9/11. that perfectly though, laura, crystallizes were my former party's. marjorie taylor greene is not republican fringe. we're we're talking about it before. we focus so much on green and gosset and bogart, as we should, because they're crazy, but kevin mccarthy has an entire caucus of election deniers. marjorie taylor greene and paul gosar are election deniers, and they're on the oversight committee. and that's horrible. but good luck trying to find some republican to put on that committee who is not an election denier. that is really mccarthy's problem. >> and there is now all this discourse about the great transformation of congresswoman greene. and i'm sorry, i don't really see it as such. i more see it as the transformation of the republican party. and what sort of republicans
8:14 pm
view as acceptable. >> it's also -- let's just take a step back. kevin mccarthy put the national security of the united states of america on the table as a cheat to be bargain with, parted, with four speakership. that's what he did, because marjorie taylor -- the homeland security committee also does election security. and she's an election denier. marjorie taylor greene also has said that there is a jewish cabal that has their own laser. and it's actually what started the california wildfires in 2018. and this woman will not have a security clearance, and have access to sensitive information about our country. somebody who thinks there are -- who doesn't believe in 9/11, as you said. and i think you made a great point, joe. that, you know, how do you even find, do a committee without election deniers? you now actually have four on this oversight committee. >> yeah, yeah. >> when you think about the idea, to your extra point, eva, the importance of each and
8:15 pm
every committee. it's not just about who is on it, but what information to have access to. and what could possibly be relate. we talk about homeland security in particular, we talk about what could actually make its way into the public sphere, in ways it never ought to be. are those concerns ruminating among democrats right now on the hill? >> i think so. i'm really curious to see what becomes of the house oversight committee chaired by congressman james comer. i actually knew him a long time, because i used to cover kentucky's congressional delegation. when he was a ranking member of that committee, he would often talk about how there are areas of bipartisan ship where he could work with democrats, specifically on the area of postal reform, that there was room for democrats and republicans to work together on oversight. i have not heard him say that as much, since he has become the chair. but we'll have to see what eventually becomes of that committee. -- and many others will have often, power the power to subpoena,
8:16 pm
and then of course all of these high-profile committee hearings. >> the power to subpoena, to have the committees, and the responsible to protect and safeguard, nothing to sneeze at. thank you so much, you. guys we do have investigations continuing, including around documents. and it may be the biden administration's biggest unforced error today. so, what is going on in the white house now? and will anyone on the team become a scapegoat or take the fall? nefi ts of retinol are now for your whole body. plus, fast-working crepe corrector diminishes wrinkled skin in just two days. gold bond. champion your skin.

8:21 pm
author of the brand-new book the fight of his life, inside joe biden's white house. what a timely book to have right now, chris. a lot of people are looking at this and wondering about what they're calling an unforced error in some respects. but you've got the press secretary, karine jean-pierre, saying there is confidence from the biden administration, in fact, i want to play for you a little of what she had to say and get your reaction. >> i can tell you, this that the president and his team rightfully took action when they learned that the documents existed. they reached out to the archives. they reached out to the department of justice. his mood has been very clearly. i saw on this, morning he's been very focused. i was with, him i traveled with him this weekend. he wants to make sure that he's continuing, and we are continuing to deliver for the american people. >> well, she talks about his mood and his attitude about the manner. in your time with the president, how do you think he is handling
8:22 pm
this crisis behind the scenes? >> well, i think he is frustrated, you know. it has not been the white house's finalist hour, by any means. it's a drama they really did not need. but in some, ways you, know it does not surprise me. i spent the last two years speaking with almost every member of biden's inner circle. and while this white house may look like a fairly well run machine, from the outside, it turns out there's a lot more drama behind closed doors than you might imagine. and i write about it in my book, disagreement over the afghanistan withdrawal, and the president and kamala harris, fraught relationship between joe biden and secret service. there's a lot of that playing out behind the scenes. and things may look smooth on the outside. i think in this case we can see a real tension and disagreement in communications people in the lawyers, the lawyers don't want
8:23 pm
any information out there. and i think people like cream jean-pierre would like to be more forthcoming. but it's a tricky balancing act to pull off.
8:24 pm
-- -- has some distance. it was stunning to me when i found this. out in the course of my. reporting, so it is a fraught relationship between joe biden and some of the secret service detail. and it is some of the most dramatic close-up examples of the one thing that has surprised joe biden more than anything else during his presidency. that is the staying power of trumpism. he thought that this would fade over time and he thought he hit a mandate, he thought that he could put it in the rearview mirror. so, 7 million more votes. of trump in 2020. and it stayed despite trump's troubles. and, of course, he saw it within some of his secret service details. and it's a much bigger group than he used to have. and, well, it may not be
8:25 pm
surprising. because after all law enforcement is full of deeply conservative people. it is still -- it bothered me. and it bothered him because, you know, it seems to me that a president has a right, not only to be protected by his secret service detail. but also to have a secrets kept. and i'm not sure joe biden thought that they would. >> talk to me about the way that he and the vice president, kamala harris, were treated by your book on this note. in particular. >> yes, this is really a fascinating, complicated relationship. there's no question that joe biden and kamala harris really had a warm bond in the beginning. they were thrown together by covid. they were in meetings together, all of the time. joe biden valued her input and gave her important national security roles. i tell the story about how, on the eve of the invasion of ukraine she met privately with
8:26 pm
volodymyr zelenskyy and warned him that the russians were coming. not only for ukraine but for him and his family. so, he gave her important assignments but they ran into trouble over her portfolio. a number of her allies were complaining that the northern triangle, voting rights, or just mission impossible. and then word got back to the president that the second gentleman, doug amherst had been complaining about this around town. and that really did not sit well. so, it's a fascinating, complicated relationship. >> well, the book certainly explores that and so much ill. , and there's a lot of things happening right now in the white house, on how anyone was able to grapple on the insight on how he would go about dealing with what's happening right now. chris whipple, thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. >> well, the tampa bay buccaneers, wide receiver, russell gage has been released from the hospital after he was

great spirits. thank you. >> and, with the buccaneers loss, the cowboys ending their season, it's also raising questions about the future of star quarterback, tom brady. joining me now to discuss all of, this the contributor, bob costas. bob, good to see. you, tonight you know, i have to tell you, when we saw the injury of russell gage last night, a comment you made to me in the past, several, weeks came to mine. the idea of it is possible to make the sport safer but not entirely safe. and injuries like we saw, seeming to be more and more part of the game. , and i wonder, from that perspective, the fact that this is a sport where people are coming to expect, unfortunately, injuries we, are the players protected in their contracts? or incentivized to play hurt? we >> well, there are some contracts, not, all but a great many contracts in the nfl are not guaranteed, even if it seems to be multi-contracts,
8:33 pm
they are vulnerable at the team's discretion along the way. there are some contracts, damar hamlin's was won, as a matter of fact, where you actually receive less compensation if you missed games for being injured. which creates some incentive for players to try to cover up or play through injuries. now, in the case of damar handle, and, obviously the league will foot all of his medical bills. and because he is such a name desperation ill story, they are going to take care of him. whether he could play football or not after this. he will be an ambassador, he will have some kind of role. and, any injury that is incurred while you're an active player, then the league is responsible for that coverage. however, it is not widely known that you have to play in the league for at least three years to be eligible for post-career medical coverage. and that coverage last only five years. and, many of the worst effects of playing football, the brain trauma, the cognitive decline,
8:34 pm
the neurological damage, much of that manifest itself only many years down the road. and, it is already obvious that it's been proven in the league and eventually acknowledged that a very significant number of its players will have some measure of dementia or alzheimer's or neurological difficulties. the statistically, at a much higher rate than the general population. but, it least that is known now. previously they were in the same position as the tobacco companies. denying any connection between their product and it's deleterious effects. now, everybody is advised. and they make their own calculus about risk and reward. there are significant rewards. there are also significant risk. those risks are brought to mind by the fact that the damar homeland situation, as rare as it is, was on a nationally televised game. and so is this, one on a monday, night during the playoffs. but stuff like the gauge history, not like the gauge injury, that is not that
8:35 pm
uncommon in football. but it just had a larger audience at this point. , and what we all have to do is we make our peace with it one way or another. there are some people who will not play. even though they're athletically gifted. or who retire early. there are some fans and some who covered the game who may feel ambivalence about it. but they are drawn by the undeniable drama and excitement, the shared experience. these playoff games, recently, have been tremendously exciting and interesting. so it is kind of a dance that people do to varying degrees, to reconcile what they have to know by now about the nature of the game but that's undeniable appeal. i mean, in part of the appeal, some instances are the actual players taking on a life outside of the sport, obviously. they've got celebrities like tom brady, a star quarterback. people are interested in his life more broadly and even his return to football, this year alone, i know that no one wants to read the tea leaves, have a crystal ball, all those who predicted before ended up being
8:36 pm
right. one week wrong, the next, week about tom brady and return to football. any sense of whether he, in, fact will return to the sport given, while, all the factors you just laid up? >> we just would be guessing. i do not think, given the fact that tom is a pocket quarterback, and has always been very in-depth, you only had one significant injury in his career, that very long, career very in-depth added voiding significant contact. i don't think the safety issue would be the major factor in his decision. no matter what, he has got options. including, if he just wants to go sit on a beach somewhere for a year. he's got a television option, fox has a contract waiting for him that is stratospheric. and, even dwarfing his football compensation, there are teams that would want him to play for them if he feels like he doesn't have us go this a shot with the book as he wanted. where he wanted it, once can close a second time. but this year, they were under 500. there are teams where he could probably go off and be part of
8:37 pm
the las vegas raiders have been mayer -- as their starting quarterback. apparently, over whether he wants to align himself with the outlaw raider brand as another thing given his positive image and, the most, obviates would be the san francisco 49ers, a very good team. still alive in the playoffs. that's where he grew, up that's the team where he grew up rooting. for he likes to tell the story, being a little, kid watching joe mentana i candlestick part for the 49ers back in the day. but, there is just one problem. the 49ers quarterback, rob party, the last player taken and the last round of the drop, the so-called mister of all of, and as the good-natured glee dubbed the last player taken to the draft is doing just great. , and brady should be able to relate to. that, because unlike brady's most accomplished contemporary, peyton matty, with the number one pick in the draft. tom was the 199th player taken. not the last, close to the. less and, then goes on to become the most accomplished
8:38 pm
quarterback in nfl history. if the 49ers were in desperate need of a quarterback, which apparently, they are not. that would be perhaps the perfect closing chapter to go back home, where he grew up, for the team he grew up rooting for and write the last chapter in his career. but, that avenue doesn't appear to be open. >> well, a lot of the others do. bob costas, i want to point, out the difference between the future for someone like tom brady and to your first point, the idea that many players only get one or two years. and they're fighting for a chance to have medical coverage after they leave. very important point. thank you so much. >> correct. thank you laura. >> thank you. well, look, because of the mega drought in the colorado river, scott still arizona will stop providing water to neighboring communities. now, one of those communities wants the water and now suing to keep the tops flowing. yes, in this country. next. so you only pay for what you need. contestants ready? go!

>> you have a well. cody, how are you getting your water? >> i am not getting water. there was one gracious donation by a friend of mine that had access to some water. but that met its goal and that was a onetime donation that brought us about a week or two. we're hearing from the new york times that people are using rainwater for example to flush toilets using paper plates and trying to do anything that they can to -- use less water. i'm curious, kristie, with their well, do you still have an impact, are you still impacted by not having the access from scottsdale arizona? i think the impact is on the whole community. there is wall homes and water homes. we're neighbors. and we're friends. we don't want anyone to go without water. >> well, when you look at, this and of course we mention this
8:46 pm
-- that there would be a water stop. we talked about this back in october of 2021. they also seemed to have made it clear back in 2015 that this arrangement of then supplying water is apparently and actually funded by their own residence would alternately come to an end -- did you take it seriously or thought there would be some way to restructure it, cody? in a way to allow access to continue? >> >> did they send that to me? i never received that during the city of scottsdale? >> have you ever receive that kristie? >> we were told that they would not continue to supply us forever. but, we were also told that if we supplied them with water that they would process it for an additional fee. we met that criteria. we had two different offers
8:47 pm
given to them that would completely cover our water and the water usage. and, we would pay them to process that. , and they are still refusing to work with. us we need cooperation from the city, while we get our long term plan. which is at core in place. >> cody, i cut you off before. but i do want to hear your response. especially the idea that you have not seen these warnings. but, i wonder how much more money you are having to pay for that you had to pay to have access still. >> well, i just second what christie said. you, know there was a discussion of this at the city level and if someone could bring us water on your behalf then we would process that water and you would just pay a fee and you would continue to receive water at the historic location that you have received in the past. my water bill will go from, approximately, $300 a month to over 1100 to 1200 dollars a month.
8:48 pm
over five times my electric bill in the summer. so, this is unacceptable, this shouldn't happen in this country. >> while, those numbers are stunning, when you think about, that kristie this is not sustainable, as you mentioned we were talking about a plan. what is the next plan here. it's just waiting to see if there will be cooperation. what is the plan i mean there's a lawsuit here. but what is the plans to immediate water? >> well, unfortunately, we have to wait for the lawsuit. there's a lot in arizona that is on the books that state that a municipality that serves in unincorporated areas, water may not discontinue. and that is what we are asking them to do. to just follow the law. >> cody ream, kristie jackman, will continue to think about two and also followed the story. thank you so much. >> thank you for having us. >> well, there was an incident that could have ended in a disaster. and that's the understatement of the year. , and near collision between
