. >> there's an fec rule that says they cannot use a candidate in the title of a special project nameommunication if the title clearly and unambiguously shows opposition to it. we've seen the nrcc say we'll give the money back and make it clearer what the sites really are, they're really coming up to the line here. >> there's two courts here. there's the court regarding the law and there's also the law of public opinion. there's been reports of at least two people who were duped and gave money to the republican party accidentally. so they've made some changes. there are some push publicly to make some changes. but whether or not the fec is split evenly, that's a bigger question. >> thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. >> coming up, those who want to take away health care. ffs is so. puffs plus are dermatologist tested to be gentle and they lock in moisture better. so you can always put your best face forward. a face in need deserves puffs indeed. ♪ we asked people a question, how much money do you think you'll need when you retire? $500,000. maybe half-million. say a million dolla

all-american, the sec's de-- fec defensive player of thier, that is quite an honor coming from the securitiesand exchange commission. but now-- pro teams are just going to have to think twice before drafting him. >> "sports illustrated" spoke with nearly a dozen coaches and nfl executives, many of whom said football isn't ready for an openly gay player. >> yesterday michael sam was projected as the third or fourth round pick, but definitely on the board. and today executives will say anonymously that his stock has dropped. he may not even be drafted. >> i think a number of teams will probably not want to deal with him at all because they don't want the so-called distraction that goes along with it. >> the thing you talk about in the organization with the gm and obviously the owner, is can we handle this guy. can the players handle the media attention that they're going to get. when they get the question asked are you okay with a gay teammate. >> stephen: exactly. i mean just think of that question. are you okay with a gay teammate. who wants to put their players through the agony of saying --

, should they be, or is this something fec should be doing more of because of how politically they've>> i think, actually, it's more appropriate for the commission to be doing it, because the law gives them plenty of authority over the subject, and it's much easier, i think, to carve that out and let the ethics committee go after more serious issues that arise. >> big, broad statement here. i maintain that the most -- that the least corrupt legislative body in america is the u.s. congress. what do you say to that in. >> i would agree to that, especially in a post-watergate era, because all we've done is layered one standard on top of another. just last congress we passed the stock act to try to get at insider trading. so i would say if anything, legislators today are more ethical, because they have more rules and regulations to comply with than they did in 1974. >> my other point, the counter, state legislatures, boy, it's like the wild west. >> mostly wide open. except in the larger states. >> yeah, stan brand, an expert at this stuff, political ethics, political integrity. you defen

comcast is moving very aggressively, but it is very important, that the justice department, and the fec scrutinize this deal. deals like this widely have antitrust laws. it is why the s.e.c. needs to measure is is nit the public interest, i don't know how they will see it is. because their content producers and control such a big share of the market? >> well, no one with is saying that the deal shouldn't be scrutinized and it will. but what is likely to happen, is that the f.c.c. will find that the conditions that were imposed when it bought nbc, those conditions will simply be extended to time warner cable and i am a little surprised, because somebody like craig who believes very strongly in the importance of neutrality rules out to see this as a victory. because they were struck down by the circuit, even though the f.c.c. can continue to enforce in an informal way. the fact is comcast is still subject to those same rules. and now 8 million more of subscribers will be subject to those rules. toes is just a way of saying there may be a need for conditions, but those conditions are proba

not more than 24 hours into this story, we've already heard rumors about this guy, michael sam, the fec definsive player of the year, by far the best college football conference in the country, that his draft status has started to slip simply because of this announcement. >> woodruff: wade davis, do you think that's the case? that his draft status, i know it's speculation but what is your sense of that? >> i would disagree with michael, a little bit. i think that, i'm sorry, kevin. i think that we make these broad assumptions that the nfl is a home phobic placement but what i've experienced since i have come out and the work that i've been allowed to do with the nfl has been graechlt you know, i think that what happens is that we don't see players who are out, and we make this broad assumption that they must be out because this place is homophobic am but players weren't hout in college. players were out in high school. so that speaks more about what our country needs to do as a whole more than it does what is wrong with the nfl. and you know, i'm also a person that knows that players in
