8:01 pm
>> hi everyone! this is tuning into this hour where we bring you tomorrow's a news tonight. with a great lineup of reporters here with me. we have harry enten, from a broken has, jeremy diamond, first time on the couch, and elaina trade is back. we have all of you! okay, so today the house voted on a resolution to it for george santos, the two challenger congressman, to the ethics committee after the vote there of a shouting match erupted on the steps the congress. >> yes sir. [crowd chanting] >> no i did not. >> i allow the process. >> get him out! >> courtney has the kick him out! he's embarrassing us! >> he's embarrassing y'all!
8:02 pm
>> you gotta get him out! >> expel him! you got exposed! save the party! the parties hanging by a thread! >> we gotta get rid of biden -- >> the party is -- the party is hanging by a thread! >> impeach biden! impeach biden! >> look no more qanon! [laughter] >> elaine ikeda villas, in such a good example for the kids at home. >> i know, i'm an absolute chaos on the capitol! and really it was a crazy day for anyone who has been following this whole santa rosa saga. so earlier this week, a democratic congressman introduced a resolution to expel santos from congress following the justice department issuing a federal indictment against meant for money laundering or fraud, false came into the house which i'm sure everyone has read time time again about. and that has republican said we don't really want to do that and we are gonna buy a sell sometime and try to push this off and have or refer this
8:03 pm
resolution to the house at the ethics committee and have them take it up first. so what that is kind of what played out today. but, i have to say through all of this, george santos is allowing the media tension, he's not backing away from the fight, he is also interviewed by cnn manu raju on the capitol steps earlier today and said that he does not plan to resign. i think we have that soundbite, let's listen! >> why are you 140,000 voters, why are they or wouldn't it be served better if you were to resign given that you are facing investigation on the ethics committee, you have multiple charges, federal charges, felonies that you are facing, you don't sit on that the committees. how are they better served when you hear in congress? >> i was elected by them to come represent them. i will continue to do that. i have not not on my job since i got here. >> now clearly he is saying that he doesn't plan to resign even though i will say a lot of his republican colleagues shot him in the halls of congress and i talked him a lot, none of
8:04 pm
them are very vocal about supporting him and many will say that they want him to resign. even before the justice department issued all of the charges against him, people were very wary about him. >> so couldn't they have voted in a mosque? the referring him to the ethics committee. can they have taken about? >> they could have. the thing though is that i do think, and it is a calculation on kevin mccarthy's part, they don't want to lose a republican member of congress. >> that it is. >> there is a very narrow majority, they cannot have or don't want to have another potential special election to replace him in a democrat to take a seat. so they kind of have to stick with him for now. but -- i mean the optics around your status or knock of the republican party either and that's something that a lot of republicans are worried about. >> i mean this is raw politics, right? kevin mccarthy is a 40 majority and particularly as he's heading towards these debt ceiling showdown which if he compromises as he is likely going to need to do if you wants to avoid the default, there is a risk to a
8:05 pm
speakership. there is a possibility there that he gets challenged by the far-right members of his caucus who don't want to do that, who number more than four and a certain number more than three. so what kevin mccarthy, every single vote matters. and i also think that's what's interesting, what alayna was talking about, the republicans have been calling on him to resign, most of those are new york republicans. they are his fellow biden districts republicans. republicans whose districts voted for biden in 2020, and then elected them to congress in 2023. >> what's gonna happen out this? what happens next? >> what's going to the ethics committee. apparently they were giving him around 60 days to do this which is a short time for the house ethics committee and i do think people are very eager to make sure they to keep it to a tight timeline. >> in terms of the new york political scene right now, they expect this to happen quickly. i focus on what tonight on the democrat side who said that they actually think this is
8:06 pm
going to happen fairly quickly. and you know, now is going to be a potential erupted for a special election and now there's a lot going on behind the scenes. but they are expecting it to happen fairly quickly. the thing is that may have been slowing some of those down was the federal investigation. it's not uncommon for the fbi or the doj to tell the ethics committee to slow down and let us do our part and it could explain why perhaps doj moved some people thought quickly here. >> what can that happen in parallel? >> because what happens that they don't want them to interfere with anything in the doj may be doing some of the same witnesses because when you look at the ethics charges, or the complaint on the ethics stuff, it's similar to what the charges the doj just brought. lying, the allegations of lying -- >> and financial. stuff >> financial stuff. all of it is there! they now have that into information even more based on the complaint from the department justice. so it is there for them. they do need to move on it. >> just from the pure politics, just my lane, i'll know that as
8:07 pm
jeremy was saying that is a district that biden won by many points. if you look at the special auction this, here you see the republicans outperforming the republican by the baseline. -- so that's going through the mind, and i think it's funny when santos has, well the voters elected me and i'm here to represent them. yeah, north of 70% of those say voters want him to resign. so he's not on the side of the voters, he's on the side of george santos and is going to say whatever he needs to say to keep his political career alive even if it is minnesota. >> looking for reelection. to >> yeah! [laughter] >> don't count the man out yet! >> what some of those say that they elected him on false pretenses and they didn't know his real resume and so let's talk about what they say to an exclusive also came out today. that is the records that the national archive has and proves that reveals i guess, that donald trump and his top advisers did know the correct a
8:08 pm
declassification system for those documents. top secret documents that he had at mar-a-lago. so what now? >> well, yes these are 16 documents that i will say also does department subpoena donald trump and his team before that and yet to turn them over, now the national archives according to reporting have told trump's team that we are turning them over to the special counsel looking at the classified documents case. and it's still unclear what's in these documents but the thing that we do know is that it shows like you said, they know that trump might have known what the classify or classification process was while in office. that really speaks to his intent. and i think that's the key thing here that the special councilman or counsel jack smith is gonna be looking at, is did you know when you were in office what the declassification process was like? and did you then know what that you are taking these classified documents home with you? cnn's kaitlan collins as of about this at the town hall last week. he continues to say that he can just declassified document by thinking about it, but she did
8:09 pm
press him on this at a town hall. let's listen to what she had to say. >> why did you take those documents with you when you left the white house? >> i had every right to under the presidential records act. you have the presidential records act. i was there and i took what i took and i get the classified. >> do you have any classified documents in your possession? >> are you ready? >> do you? >> no! i don't have anything. i have no classified documents, and by the way they become automatically declassified when i took them. >> so this is very messy. now i also did talk to some people close to trump's legal team and they were saying that they are gonna try to fight this inquiry or they may try to challenge it in court. it's unclear. but one issue they have had throughout this entire cases is that anytime they thought about mounting a legal challenge about these types of documents, they end up in the hands of the special counsel already. so they are worried that this could happen this time but it is something that they are arguing they think they could put up a legal fight. >> so now they're work, they're gonna fire the national archives handling because they
8:10 pm
think they have control over what the national archives hands to the special counsel? >> yes. >> that's what happens. >> another thing in all of that to think about what's going on with a special counsel investigations is the obstruction of the investigation. right? if they can establish the fact that he knew that this was classified, so therefore he knew potentially she was or had material that it was a crime. he was obstructing the investigation and the ability to get these documents. i think in the end is potentially the obstruction. and when you talk to that's close to what the former president and other legal folks and other folks who have been following this much closer than i have, but everyone is saying the obstruction. >> because in the last hour we were talking about how they also found classified documents and vice president biden's. >> but they gave it up! >> and that speaks to the distinction of those very two cases. >> right! and i think that is the whole point of this, is what the national archives -- like at the fact that he had, okay as he had classified documents. but the fact that like when
8:11 pm
they went to try to get this information, and he wouldn't given up, and that is continued and continue, and there are allegations was a moving things around? you know all the stories within about the fact that they were trying to hide. >> we just don't know that. >> we'll see it. >> he was a peanut face documents, the national guard had reports of, them refuse to turn them over, and that is the key difference between joe biden now presidential biden, then vice president, and former vice president mike pence. when they knew that they had these classified documents and their possession or acetone them over, they did. that is the key distinction that the justice department is making. >> all right, alayna thank you for bringing up to speed on all of this and let us know what happens next. meanwhile president biden says he and kim harvey will make a deal on the debt ceiling because there is no alternative. so what's going on behind closed doors? jeremy is checking his phone right now! so that he will tell us what his sources say next! ♪ ♪ ♪ we'r're reinventing our networ.

8:16 pm
>> all right, the clock is still taking on hitting that ceiling. president biden is still confident that a deal with republicans can be reached. >> we're gonna come together because there's no alternative for them to do the right thing for the country, typically this negotiation is about the outlines about what the budget will look like. not about whether or not we are in fact going to repay our debt. we're gonna continue these discussions with congressional interest in the coming days until we reach an agreement and have more to say about that on sunday. >> okay, jeremy has a insights go for a century may you have been reporting what's been going on inside the room was become mccarthy. >> yes! we love that right! >> yes, peel back the curtains! >> listen, what's interesting about this is that we have about two weeks until the u.s. could potentially default and yet, coming out of the second meeting between the president and the congressional leaders, everyone said that they felt
8:17 pm
like he was productive. everyone said that they felt they were seeing some progress with the talks. part that stands from the fact that they are actually in basic agreement now on the idea that default would be catastrophic and that a compromise of bipartisan solution is necessary. i would say that most american public was there before them but they have gotten there now. what is also the reason for a sense of optimism among some of the folks that i have talked to is the idea that the tenor of the meeting, folks felt like it was a more candid and better conversation between the president. >> more productive meeting your sank? >> more productive and more conciliatory in some way that there was a sense of everybody wanted to get to an agreement. and mostly because it's in contrast to what happened the week before. when you look at the week before, there was a pretty sharp disagreement between the president and kevin mccarthy. kevin mccarthy nearly call the president a liar in this meeting as the president was talking about the fact that
8:18 pm
mccarthy wants to cut veterans benefits frequent talking points of the white house as they have been talking about that house republican bill. that wasn't part of this conversation. instead it seems that both sides were trying to move beyond the talking points and actually gets into the steel. now listen, they are just at a point with agreeing on what to negotiate about, they haven't actually started doing the actual negotiating or they are just starting to do that. >> while they're in a rush. [laughter] two weeks ago! but this is washington! >> we have seen this movie before, yes. are democrats worried about this? there's a big thing about how the president won't negotiate. just last night talking about why it's not a bad word? americans actually want to see negotiation but nevertheless, says the president has said he wanted to negotiate, are democrats worried about what's going on? >> it depends on what that ultimate result looks like. when you think about back 2011 when then vice president biden was one of the lead negotiators of that debt ceiling deal at the time, a lot of democrats but like he gave away too much. like the obama white house and
8:19 pm
vice president biden gave way too much in those negotiations. so there is a sense that fear that still exist today among some congressional democrats especially as you are starting to see them talk about things like work requirements for some of the safety net programs. now, the president, part of the reason why they are having these guys up a few days ago he left the door open the possibility of enhancing some of those work requirements. the white house quickly shut the door on the notion of work requirements for medicaid programs but they are still leaving themselves a little bit more wiggle room in the negotiating room to negotiate more work requirements for some other programs. >> we hear from the democratic senator jeff merkley, he was a concern about all this and said quote, mccarthy is going to want to have a lot of things that are wrong for america. i think the president to be thinking about what mccarthy says knowing that he has the option to say, what you're asking is unreasonable. it's gonna hurt the american people. i'm elected to defend the american people so i'm not going to let it happen. your blackmail tactic will not succeed for anything. that's what i want the
8:20 pm
president to hear, or that's what i wanna hear from the president. president biden is able to say that? right? >> he did shut the door on the medicaid work requirements notion. he talked about that this morning. he talked about yesterday. so they are drawing a red line on that point. but at the same time this is a president who recognizes that they're going to need to compromise and increasingly in talking to folks inside the west wing, there is a sense that they need to agree to things that they don't want. democrats don't want. that's the nature of compromise. >> it's the same thing that i'm hearing on capitol hill, and there are people and democrats have been criticizing joe biden for not negotiating sooner and waiting until the 11th hour to sit down in the same room with kevin mccarthy. and it is scary! i actually think that most of the time when we go through this and we go through this debt limit fight and this conversation almost every year, and there are always waiting for the 11th hour but then ideologically comes together and i think people are hoping that it actually happens. this time, when i talk to lawmakers are not so sure.
8:21 pm
>> there's a little bit of a different motto. >> it's not because of congress in the sense of the way? >> there's a. mix >> like kevin mccarthy doesn't have full control? >> yes and no but i think more of it is the timing. a really deal like this only takes months to get together, we are now two weeks away from june 1st. that is the deadline that the treasury department has said that the government could default on its debt. and even if they do reach a deal or an outline by the end of this week which is what they are hoping to do but it's a very i think ambitious goal, they still have to drop the legislation, that they have to sell it to both the house in the senate, they have to try to get enough support for it. that's a very, very big obstacle for them to overcome! and i do think there is that it's -- >> the fact that biden cut his trip short, should be read anything into that? is that kind of a good thing in terms of -- >> it's a sign that is a deal that's gonna come down to joe biden and kevin mccarthy. right? and when you are raising kevin mccarthy before in terms of why does this time so different, that is certainly a part of it.
8:22 pm
he does as we look at the previous segment, he has a very narrow majority, a large segment of this caucus that sees that house republican bill that they did to raise the debt ceiling and cut spending as a floor, not a ceiling, but a floor for the minimum that they would like to see happen. and that is not going to have been indignant coalitions. >> i think the turning point of all of this was when kevin mccarthy was actually able to get a bill passed in the house, right? i think that was -- joe biden and democrats never thought that they would actually or kevin mccarthy with a slim majority connect to do that! we'll take 15 votes for him to get become speaker? right? he was actually able to pull it off! i think now biden sewed up on those heels a little bit coming back to the table trying to pick out, okay, how much do i actually have to give away here and at the same time, actually keep my caucus in the congress with me, with you know actually getting something to republicans that mccarthy can actually sell to a decent chunk of its people. >> i think i spoke to one person who is involved in these negotiations and this person basically said, as part of a
8:23 pm
calculus here, we are keeping him on kevin mccarthy very slim majority, and we're also looking at, what is the deal where kevin mccarthy can afford to lose some of his caucus, and hakeem jeffries, democratic leader can bring some people on? right? that's ultimately the fine line that they are dealing with but kevin mccarthy has a different calculus. he wants a speaker and he agreed to some rules as part of becoming speaker that will allow a very small number of members to jump in and put it up for about. >> so what's the earliest that we can see anything -- >> june 1st. [laughter] >> i mean i will say from my conversations in either side wants to see the government default, sure you have a handful of republicans who are fine to have you know an economic catastrophe and blame it on president biden, but by and large, nobody wants this. so the will to do it is there but it really is i think at this point in time in question and also seeing which side will cave burst really. to get this done.
8:24 pm

>> five of the deadliest mass shootings over the past eight years have happened in texas. the most recent was when a gunman killed eight people at a crowded shopping mall in allen. let's take a look at the map. nine people killed in a waco bar in 2015. 26 killed in a church in sutherland springs in 2017. ten killed in a santa fe high school in 2018. 23 killed death in el paso shopping center in 2019. of course, 19 children and two teachers killed at robb elementary school in uvalde in
8:30 pm
2022. on and on and on. shimon is here. shimon, can you give us the numbers. is texas the epicenter? >> there certainly been a lot of attention. there's certainly been a lot of mass shootings. when you look at that map we just had when they are, what? a few weeks ago in allen. for the majority of them the guns that are being used in these mass shootings, they are purchased legally. so, when you look at texas, yes, there are a lot of gun owners in texas. 60% of households in texas are gun owners. talking about 430,000 guns sold so far this year. again we talk a lot about how loose the state of texas is when it comes to gun rights. i was in the state capital just a few weeks ago covering a hearing. there were literally people walking around they, are just open carry. it's just a loud and just a thing that it was fine. it's perfectly fine. but what was striking to me is that they weren't around, the family members, from the uvalde
8:31 pm
massacre where they are fighting for the change in the gun laws. so, that's what you are seeing in texas. so you don't -- in the allen, texas shooting, this last mass shooting that, was a transfer kind of sale. it was like a personal sale, really unrestricted in the state of texas and no background checks. so, that's what you are seeing time and time again in the state of texas. it's just these loose gun laws. >> and that's the culture, obviously, of texas. and for people in the northeast it's harden almost inconceivable for us because we have such a different culture. but in texas, for decades, centuries, they have had a different relationship with guns. but does it correlate -- more guns -- with the numbers? you just said, more guns -- does that correlate to more mass shootings? >> so, honestly, if you look at the stats, when you look overall you see that homicides are up nationally. they are up 73%. texas, they are up 90%. a lot of the mass shootings are
8:32 pm
certainly driving some of those numbers up. but the thing is, it's really hard to know. would stricter gun laws -- i don't -- who really knows. do families and to other folks believe it? yes, because certain individuals probably would not be able to get a hold of assault rifles. they should not be able to do it. and that is something you are seeing in texas, where there is this push to raise the age we have seen in other states, we're moving it from 18 to 21, to be able to purchase assault style rifles. and in texas what you are seeing is the opposite. it's sort of like open carry, we're in most states you have to be 21. in texas, they said, no, you can be 18. and certainly, doing away with some of the restrictions you see in other states when it comes to handguns and open carry -- >> -- >> i would say a few things. one, that push to raise the age limit from 18 to 21, it's popular in texas. there was a recent poll done there that showed, i think it's
8:33 pm
like 76% or 70 -- percent. -- >> the public likes the idea. >> yeah, the public likes the idea. -- and look, you don't have to be a genius to figure out that if you look at the united states overall, on the guns for, cappadocia the countries it tends to be far, far less. and we know that we have a lot more homicides here. the other thing i will, of course, not, rightfully so on the focus, on mass killings -- but the fact is there are a lot more gun deaths from other ways, right? suicides, obviously, a large portion of it. individual deaths in urban centers. and so, when we just think about this topic overall, we do know -- we do know -- that the states where you do tend to have the highest number of killings per capita -- right, we have to control for the population do tend to be the states where you have the highest number of guns in those states. obviously, correlation does not
8:34 pm
equal causation. but i think when you look at those numbers, a wandering mind begins to -- >> see, harry it's much better than the stats that i am. i feel like we reversals. >> -- >> you are working in tandem, which is fantastic. it's not a secret that other countries, when they come here to visit, say, why do you have mass shootings here? the people find it inconceivable in other countries because they don't have this phenomenon. -- truly american -- >> having spent so much time as i have in texas, i have learned so much about this country, and certainly about gun rights and folks passion for carrying guns. and you really feel that in texas. this is just -- it's politics, it's their belief. it's sort of -- this is why we are not seeing the governor they do anything. it's very easy. if he wanted this legislation, to raise the age, he would do it. but he's made all kinds of -- >> i will say as well on just the foreign countries -- you look at the uk or australia,
8:35 pm
where, i remember in the uk, in the 90s, they had a horrible mass shooting. and after that they acted -- a conservative government was in power, and they acted to tighten gun laws there. and you have seen in the years since, gun deaths go down as a result. and similar things happening in australia. and i think -- i know from friends and i have a broad, like you said, they come in and are like, i don't understand. there are shootings that are happening every day here. and they change the laws. you are not seeing the shootings there. and people say it's a mental health issue. but then, are you saying, that they don't have the same amount of mental health -- >> -- constitution and that's what we hear all the time. well, shimon prokupecz -- let's talk about -- well, you have spent a year, basically, in uvalde. and everybody remembers your phenomenal reporting there and everybody remembers your dog questioning of the officials who were stonewalling and who would not give your -- and he won the peabody, the very prestigious peabody award. we are all so proud of you.
8:36 pm
so, now you -- you have this new special coming out this weekend. we have a little preview of. it >> yeah, we do. >> okay, let's watch this. and you can tell us about it. >> -- the whole story, when you after the uvalde massacre, the community still seeks answers. now families have turned to cnn for footage texas authorities refused to release. >> i want to see everything that hurt my baby. >> the authority should not be the ones doing this for you. do you think it will help you trying to heal? >> yes, it will. >> we lost our daughter, we lost ourselves. we are just trying to pick up the pieces. >> the whole story with anderson cooper. sunday at eight, on cnn. >> okay, that looks intense. >> it's probably the most intense thing i have ever done in my life. and probably will be the most intense thing i ever will do in my life is to have to sit before mothers of little kids and show them video of the injuries of what their kids went through. they came to me. it was --
8:37 pm
>> they wanted to see it. >> they wanted to see it. we were in uvalde working on the special and we had a completely different path then we were going with this. and i get a call from one of the mothers and she says to me we want to see the video and i was just like, are you crazy? i can't show this to you, it is so horrific. >> you -- threw a -- across. >> no, we got three sources. this is the thing. because officials have not released information and they are not willing to share any of this information with the families. and we went. it was a very painful experience, a very emotional -- the mother sat there and watched this video. and they saw their kids with the injuries. but for them, it was important to see, because they were trying to get answers to certain questions. one of the mothers, her little girl was passing out. and she couldn't -- no one ever told her that this is what she was going through and what she was suffering. >> she was a survivor, in other

words? >> she was a survivor. everyone that we showed everyone we talk about as a survivor. we have some new information where there is a little from inside the classrooms, screaming for the police to come in. and the police don't hear her. and this is all captured on the 9-1-1 call. so, we played that. by the it was -- just the most difficult -- because -- and i said this to folks, is that we are not trained to deal with this kind of stuff. and i just did not know what to do. we made a decision to show it to them. and we sat there with them as they watch this. and their reaction -- of course, there is some anger. but they were thankful, they were happy that they saw this and then we show some more video with another parent to show whose daughter, chloe torres, called 9-1-1 and sort of what she went through -- people will find it -- every time i watch it, and i've had to watch it for editing and making sure that we -- you cry every time you watch
8:39 pm
it. and then we speak to parents of a girl who died and just what their life has been like, and how they describe just how horrible it has been to live without their daughter and they are just waiting for the day they will see her again. meanwhile, they have several other kids. but one of the things that i think is so different about what we are doing here is usually when -- sandy hook or other mass shootings, you go in, you do the, stories you do these documentaries and you talk about the peoples lives and what it is like. and -- a window into what it was like for these kids that they. who survived -- because we have this video. and i think it's important for people to see what these guns do, what this day did to these people, and the fact, also, is that these families are still not getting the answers that they need, and the services that they need. >>, yes and with this, shimon prokupecz, we've made this point before. but it's so valuable. you did not leave. you didn't just -- all the crews go in for this mass shooting report on it,
8:40 pm
report on it, and then leave. you stayed a new stage try to get answers and you stayed to be able to help them see the real story, and the fact that you are going to be able to bring it to all of us, obviously, it's hard to watch. but it is important. >> it is so important and i hope people watch. >> yeah, shimon prokupecz, thank you for all that. and -- shimon prokupecz returns -- the whole story with anderson cooper, this sunday, at eight p.m., right here on cnn. and we will be right back.
