tonight in which he attempts to explain his listening of lies. he says not by trying to trick anyone. >> i've been a terrible liar what i tried to debates american people is that i made mistakes. this wasn't about tricking anybody. >> we will tell you the law he says he regrets every day. plus, the classic children's book, charlie and the chocolate factory, matilda, and james in the giant peach are getting re-writes. the publisher is cutting it where it's like that, ugly, and whites. is the time to update outdated books or is it best luke malone? we'll talk about all that tonight. but first let's get to today's politics. of mark mckinnon, former adviser to george w. bush. and john mccain, we are sub cnn's john berman. also political analysts, natasha alpert. and former u.s. attorney, harry lippman. i, guys great to have all be

here tonight. >> hello, happy presidents'day. okay mark let's talk about what was presidents'day. rhonda scent is seems to want to be president. there he hasn't officially said that yet. so is going to blue states new york, illinois, pennsylvania. and he's doing something i think that is quite crafty. he's offering $5,000 to the police officers to move to florida. he says they're battling woke. he said woke from the time i lost count. at some point. but it seems as though what everyone to call it, stunts, or whatever he's doing and supporting to get attention. >> i think immigrants here are bringing cops back to florida. he is, i think, playing his strategy building up to a presidential election very sparkly. sitting back in the seat.

and he's in a very strong position. i would ease doing is touring the country talking about his record report on issues like crime. and they're saying we're going to work with police town because police like you were paying them for one, but they also like we're doing in florida. it's a pretty effective strategy and, for now, it is working. >> his record of crime is hard to get your arms around. because he says that crime in florida is at the lowest it's been in 50 years. but it's hard to double check that because florida cities don't report to the fbi. we've been on the fbi website, all night, because you sure we get our crime statistics. and they're only to -- the fbi has only received crime statistics from two out of 757 law enforcement agencies in florida for 2021. >> this may shock you, but i'm not sure thrown desantis was doing in new york was really about crime. i think it was about getting

attention, as you've said. look, he is running a republican primary, right now. it may be quite effective what he's doing and the republican primary. which is you go to new york and tell them that they're not doing it right. you go to philadelphia and to not doing it right. you go to the zoo safe and say hey, i'm not like you. there may come a time where he is not at our publican primary. i just thought of the system coming with you. i covered the 2000 georgia be bush campaign which, at a certain point, did allow interracial dating. he came, he thought he need to do that for a republican primary. but boy did he i think comes or credit later on. >> there's some byron center's will regret later? >> i think there are things he was doing and all of this that play well and a republican primary that may not depending on how he does it, or how far he pushes it, plays well on general action. >> he actually won the civil war, so. what do you think?

>> in his speech to police officers in new york. we i think you listen to this full speech. there's a clear us and them. they, the so-called will people, which is not the same. it is some pretty creative to be an umbrella term for anything that is progressive. don't want you to be safe. they want to release criminals into your community. so it is a very clear message and i tried to send that he is the long order candidate. and what's interesting is that i don't find it to be that charismatic, or interesting in terms of being able to be off the cup in the way that donald trump was. but he had a long list of policies that he could point to to say, look, i'm not only top, it i walk. it but as john is saying, that could backfire. there's no nuance in this conversation about policing. we are looking at the story of tyre nichols and there was no acknowledgment that please could sometimes be in the wrong, or that there needs to be reform. there is a total of complete ignoring of that.

i think when you go to the general electorate, that is an issue that you cannot ignore, you're gonna have to have some to say about it. >> let's listen to a portion of what he said today. >> my message is if you are disenchanted, you don't think things are going to turn around, wherever you are not just in new york, wherever. you should know there is a state that is doing it right. there is a state that will value your service. the reason why you have crime that spiraled out of control. and so many of these different areas. is because you have politicians putting woke ideology ahead of public safety. >> go ahead harry, your thoughts? >> he is not very nuanced, i agree. but he is the one guy who can try to claim to trump's big 32%. by the same token, first, that he just position him self as don says, to maybe win the nomination and looser general. then he might get one of the

time. then he attacks left on the general comes. second, i haven't studied him deeply, but he seems to be like mr. charisma. the question is in the open field, just a onetime trump seems to enjoy himself, being sort of savage in the open field. will he cut him to ribbons or does desantis have the kind of, you know, poise and humor to be a good general? i think the jury is out on that question. >> he does seem to be getting under donald trump skin. all right for you the post that donald trump posted about this. the scientist wants to cut social security, and medicare. he loves those are like jeb bush, paul ryan, and call road. and is getting clobbered in the polls, by me. desantis is a rhino who's trying to hide his past. what do you think? >> i often hear the spot desantis. he doesn't have the charisma, he's not could be as great on the campaign trail. i just don't know that voters are going to be looking for

charisma. and there are lot wouldn't think that donald trump had christmas 24 splash onto the scene. >> we he has got results to show. look at what he is done in florida. he has turned republican deep red. it was a swing state until reached elections. he won miami by double digits. when recently heather clinton won that city by double digits. so, he is dusen that is pretty remarkable for republicans. from to be coming out of nowhere and leading the pack, substantially, except for donald trump. it says something and what he is doing is he got his finger on this cultural pulse with the whole woke ideology. which is where they could retain the governments getting into your lives and away but it never did before, and i'm going to pull it out.

>> you think that's what the code for? don't think it sort of dog whistling? >> both. >> i think this is certainly more than government. look at this whole ap course backlash. he's really tapping into something that you can't necessarily say want to come across as a racist, right? a lot of these issues that we're talking about we're talking about racial justice. or talk about equality. we talk about what matters. the idea that you can say as rhonda scent is, there's no educational value and in a peak course. that's insulting to the entire african american community. it's insulting to the community. he frames it as an education issue and really it is kind of a secret message saying, you know what, that black stuff. this race stuff. is not really that important. and the people a harem harem loudly. >> it's in the culture war stuff it's easy.

policy is hard. going after school books, everybody understands, we have a personal reference with schoolbooks. cops, law. order that hits somewhere viscerally. i think that all of that stuff and the culture war there are networks who have made their business model based on them. i'll stop about parental control. all the stuff is happening that we didn't know about. and certain parents have had to say. i looked into that very effectively. >> interesting though is that cnn and other stowe. they often thought to how he's run against the idea of coming into which into your lives. the senate when the things the satisfactorily doing that might bite him also a sort of big government. cracking down on disney, telling schools what they have to do. and >> telling businesses what they have to do. >> it's not a very libertarian way of doing things. which are some republicans that orthodoxy still appeals. do want to be a winner.

>> i'm so turned around with cancel culture. rhonda santas is canceling curriculum that he doesn't personally like. but he doesn't call that counsel culture. and their parents who are upset that ap classes, period, he's trying to council them. not just african american studies. and it's a politics of punishment and heavy-handed is that is going to actually backfire in ways that i don't think he's thinking. >> one last thing. this is what mayor adams of new york said i'm governor desantis's arrival in new york. welcome to new york city governor desantis. a place where we don't ban books, discriminate against lgbt neighbors, use asylum seekers of props, let the government stand between women and health care rapidly juice on the bubble use while you are here. >> so everybody is taking -- those sort of winds come in the general election. >> okay folks, thank you very much. stick around. because truth challenge congressman, george santos, is trying to explain himself tonight.

>> what is the simplest mission for why you lied about something like that? >> expectation on society. the pressure. we can't afford. it decided i wanted to run for office all died belts a bear credible business granted didn't have that part of my biography that i could not give anything. >> do you not think that you would be cool? >> i just went with it. i mean, if you're going to make up a lie are you thinking at all? i think it was a stupid decision on my part. very stupid decision that are great every day. >> so he has regret. back with me mark mckenna john berman, the tissue alford. john, you lied about going to harvard. just kidding. >> george santos was by my back there. >> are you annoyed with me for playing with george santos? i have people like acquiring giving the guy airtime. i think was fascinating. >> i think so too. it's mesmerizing in some ways.

>> plays like a lying liar who lies. and i get that. i don't know what he could've said here that would've change anyone's view of him. that is not to say that i didn't find it interesting watching him try to weave this web. we had a really unique new defense today in this interview which is that i got away with the before. >> that was bizarre. he said why do you do in trying to? because i didn't 2020, no one cared. >> and i'm a terrible liar. i guess he's a pretty good liar. prolific. >> but he gets caught all the time which makes not a good lie. he's caught constantly. and this is a motion. society places pressure on me to go to college and i couldn't do it so i was forced to. it's interesting how he's trying to plant emotions and yet another example of intentional manipulation. >> they have to keep defending

him. >> i grew that we are getting all of the central sides the reason we keep playing. because his friend said he's a pathological liar. video you just don't come into contact with a pathological liar that often. when you do it's a little mesmerizing. so here is, again lying about his mother being at the world trade center on 9/11. oh >> i won't debate my mother's life if she passed 16 and it's quite insensitive for everyone to rehash mothers legacy. here's what i would say to that. then we do that because you put this under campaign website. but specifically on the point of why nobody can find any evidence that your mother works the world trade center at all, ever. because you've just got this wrong? we >> are a time that i thought wrong with my mother told me. >> i don't know, is a possible

she decides you? >> i don't believe so, she would want to mislead me. >> natasha. >> oh, alison to put him in the hot seat. >> i think again that is what they said. the path, us or the ethos. senator kamala? here >> again, it shows a scale on the regularity in which he does this. it's obviously a really uncomfortable when you talk about a personal relationship. someone who's not here. but if it did lie about that. again, how egregious, how insulting to families who did to someone on 9/11. this is going to be hard to watch him and office continuing to do this. reelection is going to be pretty nasty. >> i think it's audacious enough to run again. >> i think he's announcing that he's going to run again. >> i think there's going to be a criminal referral at some kind for the fundraising scheme that's going to get him again. >> i totally agree with you. he's got seven different prosecutors offices investigating. >> is that right, seven?

>> what so fascinates me is the fact that there are separate tracks. you could get convicted, he could be in jail. that doesn't get him out of congress. >> someone ran for president in 1920 from jail. >> i would have to be a political solution. believe two thirds actually voted him out. i do think at that point mccarthy, who by the way, seems of known about some of this. lisa's been the reporting telling him it's time to go. >> i think it's different because his constituents seem disgusted with him. >> they're embarrassed. >> there are trump supporters who listen to his lives and believed them. somehow george santos's constituents -- >>'s democratic leading district. it is remarkable that he won at this time to begin with. it is hard to see how that blue could happen again. it is hard to see how the republicans will allow him to be nominated again. if he does end up in court he could defend himself with this law degree, right? no problem.

those >> hairs another example. this is where he is confronting about saying that his grandparents were in the holocaust. when >> this is the one that i now battled to migrate to the one point of already ordered those dna test kits. and i've done four of them so far. just waiting for the results. i'm very curious to show those with everyone. because i grew up with the story that my grandfather was born and ukraine was part of the soviet union. my greatest a belgian. that my grandmother 1940 or 1941 lead to brazil where they falsified a lot of the documents to claim they weren't born there. look, we're talk about time in history with this was a very common occurrence the name of survival. >> he's weight of the dna results. >> we're gonna get the dna results we get donald trump's tax returns. >> by the way, or santos would

do. you do the audit. >> in this case, tells a story that we can't verify. because you say that the information was changed. it was common. there's something we can do a bad. we'll never know the truth. >> all right well, mark, this is a good segue to the circus. so tell us about what can be known about the season. >> well, never lack wintry. i first got the assignment-a-thon therapy works for each one have enough. but over 100 episodes on our starter eight season sunday night. every week his where we gonna cut? where we're gonna? cut orders go did know where we're gonna be now john heilemann is in poland with the president. it is great's having a front row seat because it is the greatest political show on earth. >> that's a great, everybody should tune into showtime's, the circus. thank you all so much great conversation. president biden goes to an active war zone, former defense secretary cohen's way to tell us how risky that was, next.

president biden making a surprise visit to the ukrainian capital of kyiv today. walking through the streets to the sounds of air it sirens.

biden show solidarity and it with this message to russian president, vladimir putin >> putin thought ukraine was weak. and the west was divided. as you know mister president i said we guinea he's counting on us, not sticking together. he was counting on the inability to keep nato united. i know is counting on us not to the other side of ukraine. i thought he could outlast us. i don't think he's thinking that right now. >> jeremy now former defense secretary, william cohen. thanks so much for being here. this is historic. the first time that the u.s. president has gone into an active war zone that the u.s. military does not have control over. and so how risky was this? >> i think, very risky. it was bold, but those brave on

this part. and against all odds it was successful. so have to give the biden administration really high marks on how they're able to keep this plan in the long term planning under wraps from anyone understanding this will take place. so i think it's very risky and he pulled it off quite successfully. as a result the ukrainian people feel even more inspired. >> but does go into the planning of trip like this? >> i wear a digital watch. but imagine a swish watch. all the intricate parts that allow that watch to turn, and to integrate with every other conceivable part. that is what goes into a presidential play. for example, assuming we land and the poll and we get on a train. what would something go wrong on the train? what if it were to derail obscene our own durham attended knighted states. where would the president be

taken? would you be hurt? whether hospitals nearby? every contingency has to be planned. so that his life is protected. at all costs. so, those kind of details are a part of any presidential trip. when we are in charge, so to speak, and we have control the airspace. that control of the ground. then it becomes a little bit easier. but even here in the united states. here in washington. the amount of planning that goes into moving the president is extraordinary. >> i was interested to read that they had to, where they felt like they should alert russia before he got there. for deconfliction purposes. it makes total sense but i would've thought that it would have to be a surprise for russia. no, in fact, it was the opposite. >> and this particular case. it was really important. they are not asking for permission from president biden to go in or pay a visit to kyiv. they are telling the russians we are coming. the president is coming. therefore, make sure you don't

fire on the capitol. because if you do, and you assassinating american president visiting our ally, not just nato but an ally, a great one. then you will run the risk of starting world war iii. so i think you have sent a signal. we're not asking permission. we'll tell you, make sure no one fires on the capital. that leads to another issue. what if that message doesn't come down from moscow to the people on the ground and they just see another attempt to fire another round of artillery into kyiv and possibly injure zelenskyy but also president biden. that is a risk that is always there. >> today, president biden announced another half a billion dollars in new aid. and assortment of new military equipment, artillery, ammunition, javelins, howitzers, what impact will these have? >> i think these weapon systems will have a great impact on the ground. they would allow the ukrainian forces to not only defend

themselves. let's go back to the russians on the ground and take back their territory. right now, everyone has noted they are running out of ammunition. and we are not in a position, with the kind of industrial production capability we have. but we're feeling as much ammunition as they need. so getting more ammunition as quickly as we can is really important. the other issue is, and looking for the big guns. for aircraft, f-16, long writer tilbury. it is a whole package of trainee that has to go with them. my own view is that would start training the ukrainians now. this training them in case we decide to go forward. they will have to demonstrate their capable handling the intricacy and how to manage the logistical training that goes with sophisticated aircraft, and et cetera. and by the administration is doing it just right now. but i think if we see the russians start pushing the

ukrainians back, and equipment losing crowd. i think the cries would be give them more, they need this kind of equipment now. just one final point, i think that the united states will continue to fund ukraine. as long as we see they're able to continue doing what they're doing. it looks as if they're losing that i think the sentiment of this country exacerbated by somebody ones who are sympathetic to putin. we'll say time to pull back. time to read new or review their budgets. so i think that's the danger. that's what you have to go forward. we can go for with everything we can afford to give them. when >> the china factor. china's top diplomat is expected in moscow soon. under the expectation that china can be impacting their support. how does that change the equation? >> we can't dictate to china.

tell them you can, or you can't do this. will be dry publicly. red lines. i think of the chinese were to do this it would certainly be counterproductive and certainly would impair our relationship at the lowest level. and recent years, even more. i think we need to or meet with president xi. and president biden wants to win go through the course of this year to make sure we don't go off track with competing with the chinese. it's a big country, and important country, a powerful country. we need to make sure we are so talking to them, even as we have those differences with them. otherwise it can get very dangerous for the russians. >> former secretary, william cohen, thank, you also pre-show talking to you. >> okay not to this. should classic children's books be updated to takeout offensive were out of date words? should the word fat be omitted? how about the word whites? new take on the case of

changes come to rodolphe class children's book. his estate and publisher making hundreds of changes to some of those most popular books including the witches, charlie and the chocolate factory, and james in the giant peach. the revisions were made by sensitivity -- from the organization called inclusive might. it's constituted a collective of people who are passion about inclusion, diversity, equality, and accessibility in children's literature. hurricane samples. for example in the book, the witches. was you must be mad woman. and the book mr. fantastic box the character bounces no-knock are described as quote, the little potbelly dwarf now is called bounce. charlie --

charlie and the chocolate factory. the character augusta scoop is stoking described as fat instead he's described as a norm is. the changes again some serious pushback include from author salman rushdie who called it, quote, absurd censorship. help me now -- natasha, every single night i call upon your former teaching skills. you're the only one was why believe used to be a teacher. and as we have children's book. you are the perfect guest to have. so are these, i mean look, part of what they say they are doing is relevant. they want the books to be relevant to kids today. not to be a timepiece, necessarily, from like shakespeare. they're not updating shakespeare we accept that is what it is. but the one can certainly be able to do it. so saying something is innocuous, you might be mad, woman. my kids don't know that math means you're update out of your minds. is this okay or not okay? >> i want to world in which we can have conversations about why certain words may be

offensive. why certain words may not be inclusive with that actually changing and authors words. he is not here to approve these changes. we know that estate has spoken of the changes being made. but that is part of what art is. and even think about my children's book, or your break that you're working on. those are your words for a reason. some of the new generation comes along i would like for there to be a conversation. i can also be a weapon with someone maybe i don't agree with takes control and all the sudden has the authority to change my words and what i meant. i like the idea of having conversations about the impact. i don't we need to change the authors words. >> this is road. all he supposed to be terrible terrible man. yes, but a great writer in his own way. he supposed to be a sir predispose be scary.

and taken, or sending him down. and then the other times where the extra gate words or even little strains is one thing. this is who rode all is. it's like peanut m&ms without the m&ms. this is very much taking road all into the doubling him. >> the promise where does it stop? would you rather be called enormous then fat? i think the way to handle -- >> big boned. [laughter] >> i think the way to handle it is to handle it within and there is no to something big in the book that say, you may find some of these words offensive, it was a different time. put it in context. >> just leave it be? >> i don't think there's anything wrong with teaching. why are we so afraid of teaching what these words mean and how they're different now? one of the things i would like teach awe when teaching road doll is that he's a very good anti-semi.

>> the idea that nothing can ever be changed. i think we've come to this place, oh, you can't change anything. i get the christy, there's a book, whatever most demurred books is and then there was one. but you may all know it then for what is called ten little idiots. which is what they made movie about. it was originally published, i'm not to say it here, it was ten little edwards. that was the title of the book. and the island it took place on was -- eyelid. this is one of the crises most they miss books. they changed it before 1940 because two offensive and then they changed it again. stuff can't get changed, so the end all be all. this was the words of the changing. here >> and the even changed to and then there was none. >> i would want to know that about that author. i would want to know that. i don't want to pack the ship and ice both to mix up the story and forget that there was racist intense and which he wrote, if there was. >> john's point.

roald dahl himself change things in his books when it was two offensive. because we all know the impulsive bus were not originally these little orange creatures with green hair. i learned today they started, originally being written as, quote, black pigments from the deepest darkest parts of the african jungle. so he realized at some point, oh, that is not right. he changed them to the lupus. which are orange towards. so much better. so much more memorable. even day i think are being stricken in some cases from some productions. the culture wars right now is frustrating because there be someone on the right to take this example and says, look, they are being ridiculous those people. and also at the same time

they'll go at the way to ban books and say, oh, we can't have these folks to talk about a young person struggling with their sexuality. like george johnson's all boys are blue. it is an insane time right now. >> that is such a great point. as was saying before about cancel culture. i'm so twisted up with cancel culture i don't know who is canceling who anymore. you're right, they can't have the word fat, they can't of the word ugly. one of the things that are changing. but their books, as we all know, that have been taken out of classrooms for a host of reasons because whoever this is is uncomfortable with the depiction of something. >> you know it was fascinating? the african american policy form. they're doing something, or they've done something called the freedom to over the go right in the communities with the banned books and they caution people to read. and you'd be surprised to books on this list, beautiful children's books about diversity, culture, unknown stories, that now people have

to fight to tell those stories. that, to me, is emblematic of the best of america. the ways in which we resist and we rally. but what a sight time that we even have to think about silencing those voices. >> as it banning the book work. if i'm a ten year old and you buy the bulk you can guarantee them that a find the book. it won't be in the library. >> so, is there anywhere that should be stricken? in other words -- >> i don't think you could be absolutist about this. i think it should say we should never change anything a matter. what but no one is saying -- this is his whole tax. this is we is a writer. you have to really step out everything. he is a writer designed to make you afraid, he's acerbic, he is a misinterpret as a kind of writer he is. it's not just agatha christy example which is a good one but a different kind of case how. say >> here is roald dahl, company statement. >> we want to make sure that
