, santos may have been lying about campaign donations, specifically a new report found several george santospaign contributors don't appear to exist, which can only mean one thing. the santos campaign was funded by a ghost. [coughing] or election fraud. according to the report, in many cases, names of the donors were straight up made up. for instance, his campaign reported contributions from victori and jonathan regor but no one named victoria or jonathan regor could be located anywhere in the united states. and their listed address, 45 new mexico street, jackson township, new jersey, does not exist. so bad news: he might have committed fraud. good news: one less place that exists in new jersey. another beautiful state. i'm sorry, phil. beautiful state. another reported donor that raised suspicion was named rafael da silva which happens to be the name of a brazilian soccer player. apparently that's a name that santos stoooole! la, la, la, la. stole! stole! in some instances, the address was real but the person wasn't. for example, campaign finance reports listed a stephen berger at an addres

i'm george santos. in response to this stunning rebuke from his own party, santos told reporters on capitol hill that he will not resign, which means he's gonna resign. republicans aren't the only ones out there who want to get rid of george santos. because yesterday two democrats requested a house ethics investigation of santos and they hand delivered a copy of the complaint to santos' office. he wasn't there at the time so they had to give it to his assistant, admiral slorge gantos. admiral? he has an admiral as an assistant. that's surprising. military of that rank. speaking of santos' falsehoods, we just got another one. and it's pretty wild. he claims he was one of the first people in the u.s. diagnosed with covid-19. smart thinking, georgie. "everyone hates me. i know how to win them back, i will tell them i was patient zero." what else? oh, over on the internet, check it out sometime, over on the internet, this week, ohio and new jersey banned tiktok on government devices over chinese surveillance

shame because that was going to be my drag queen name. [ laughter ] but i think we owe a debt to george santos's finally given us something to agree on. democrats, republicans, and independents all agree that santos should not be a congressman. a new survey says 66% of new york voters want santos to resign and the other 34% are him in a variety of wigs and mustaches. [ laughter ] right now, the only people who want him to remain in office are the people who work for him and late-night talk show hosts. [ laughter ] to us, he's gold. so i thought it might be nice to catch up with george. we haven't seen him in a few weeks. i think we have him -- george? >> let's see -- >> jimmy: can you hear us? >> two boxes of samoas, four boxes of thin mints. >> jimmy: george? >> so that will be -- that'll be, let's just make it an even $5000. >> jimmy: wait, george. what are you up to there? george? >> hi. >> jimmy: what are you doing? >> i'm out on this beautiful day dialoguing with my constituents. >> jimmy: it looks like you're posing as a girl scout to sell cookies. >> that sounds crazy, you sound crazy.

what happened to dealing with george santos quickly? >> they needed the votes.he just decided, you know, when you have a five-seat majority you sort of sweep stuff under the rug. and i also think there's a larger problem that mccarthy has, which is if you start pulling people out of this republican caucus because they lied about things, where will it end? >> yeah, it would dwindle their numbers i suppose. so, molly, santos to your point and a good one he's representative of the issues mccarthy has because his margins are so slim in the house. and there's a couple looming fights coming, the government shut down. there's some talk today maybe they can be avoided at least temporarily as well as ukraine funding. this would be the first time the white house is asking congress for a big new package of money since the republicans took over the house. just give us your analysis as to how does mccarthy navigate all that and does he have to bow to the hard right even though public polling suggests most american people walk the other way? >> yeah, i mean he has made bowing

the shenanigans keep coming from congressman george santos of new york.arned he lied about his job, his background, his education, he said he was a volleyball star at a college he never went to, and his name isn't necessarily even george santos. he also uses the name anthony devolder. he is being accused of keeping $3,000 he raised on a gofundme that was supposed to go to help a veteran keep his service dog alive. and as a result of all this controversy, he's been forced to play hide-and-no-speak with reporters in congress. >> congressman, did you misuse campaign finances? >> new york republicans are calling you a disgrace. >> you will not resign? >> what is your response -- >> trying to get in the elevator. >> do you have any statements about your campaign and how you hope to govern? >> what's your reaction to members of your own party calling for your resignation? >> are you planning to resign? >> why did you lie to voters about your qualifications, your past, being jewish, why did you lie to them? >> give me a little personal space, please. thank you v

in new today, just getting word na someone who raised for the embattled republican congressman, george santos ryan nobles is on capitol hill. what do we know about this, ryan? >> this is an individual by the name of sam mealy, he was a paid fundraiser for the george santos campaign, and prosecutors are accusing him of impersonating dan meyer, who was at one time the chief of staff to the house speaker kevin mccarthy, and what they say is that mealy was calling potential donors, describing themselves as being meyer, and then asking them for money to support the santos campaign. as a result, he's been charged with four counts of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft in the indictment that was just issued in u.s. district court in brooklyn. part of the evidence that prosecutors have in this case an e-mail that was sent from mealy to george santos where he actually brags about the fact that he was impersonating meyer, and said, essentially, along the lines that he needed to take big swings in order to get big results. this of course just a part of all the controversy that's surrou

we saw this in george santos. there are pieces of evidence that suggest that is true. if we look at this collectively, there is a slight effect for modern scandals where they do not have negative impacts on politicians that they used to, so there is a minor effect, but it depends on which level of government you look at. by virtue of being able to look at scandals from the 1970's to the present at every level of government, we can get a clearer sense of this. one thing we find is scandals used to be more problematic before than they are now. for instance, during the 1970's following watergate, members of congress were very likely to lose their seats if they were involved in scandals. we see members of the executive branch are more likely to be hit negatively by scandals during the 1990's and the trump era, so there is a sort of change in effect, but it depends on who you are, so those things are meaningful in terms of how we assess what effect president trump had on the world. i do not think that trump is to blame for these things. this is a gradual process, beginning

host: you mentioned new york congressman george santos. can you just dive into your thoughts on his term as a congressman and how the multiple issues have unfolded since he became a congressman. guest: we have seen a rather stunning sort of change in terms of how politicians are able to get away with certain kinds of lies. in this case, there were a bunch of things that cascaded toward a particularly troublesome political term for the representative, but it is unusual to see it happen that much. and i guess the question is whether this is the signal or the noise. largely, this is an outlier in terms of how the process goes. i think the same could be said of president trump. the fact that these scandals tend to be dominant in the new cycle and tend to suck up all the oxygen politically from the administration, suggesting they are unique in that. i do not think we are used to seeing quite this much, but that is not to suggest that they do not tell us something about the system because they do. surviving these things is getting harder. i thin

george santos apparently believed it, according to good george santos content. and here he told a friend that if i just get elected, i'll i've got to get elected. i have a lifetime pension actually it is. you have to at least five years to get a pension and then it kicks in at the age of 62. and yes, it's a good but it's pretty much commensurate to you would have if you were working in a nice government job. it's not it's not it's as crazy as glamorous as people make it out to be. yes. it's good. but you have to serve a minimum of five years and you have to wait till you're 62. so it's not outrageous as some people as might tell you and what about their health care? a huge issue for most americans, it is. again, they've got a good plan, but it's not a you know, it's not like utopia for them either, i do believe. and you might you might remember this better than me, but there was something i found that's the book that they can go to, like a naval hospital in, d.c. physically for free treatment was some there was some weird loophole that and that would be awesome

reminds us a lot of the scrum with saw with george santos. a lot going on there. and rudy giuliani saying a lot of things, including that the fbi stole his icloud account the day he started representing trump four years ago. he said he's being indicted because he's a lawyer and that if it can happen to him, it can happen to you. he also said that the stipulation he made, the admission he made in court documents regarding what he was saying about ruby freeman and shay moss passing a ginger mint was like drugs, passing votes to each other on a usb port. in a court document he said that wasn't true. let's bring in lisa rubin. can we get back to the stipulation he made on the court document. what was he saying there, and what does the court document saying? >> he's saying in that document he's agreeing not to contest the elements of a defamation claim but he's limiting those agreements not to contest solely to that civil case. that was deeply unsatisfying to the judge who's overseeing that defamation case, and she ordered giuliani to submit a second stipulation clarif
