since then reporters michael gold and grace ashford have published new reporting nearly every day moving the story forward about more liesinvestigations and growing calls for his resignation from within the republican party. here is where we are this week, we're following revelations that george santos lied about his mom being in the south tower on september 11th. he's pushing back against reports that he took money from a fund that was supposed to go to a veteran's dying dog's surgery. now "the new york times" is writing about an investor who says he was duped by george santos and has been in talks with the sec. it is safe to say reporters michael gold and grace ashford could not have predicted from that first story would take any of us. joining us now "new york times" politics reporter, michael gold, tim allen and michael wiseman are still with us. michael, i spoke with you when the basic elements of george santos's resumÉ had turned out not to be true but before these really dark, dark and fantastical stories and the people injured by those lies started to speak out, i'm thinking of the veteran yesterday, thinking abo

fact, michael flynn, trump's first brief national security adviser, who was convicted of lying to the fbi about his contacts with senior level russian officials, has sought to cash in on those lies. he has joined some of the most prolific spreaders of conspiracy theories, barnstorming the country in the pseudomag tent revivals that are host to some of the most vial and grotesque of those lies. the events, which are called the reawaken america tour, r.a.t., a christian revival meets qanon swap meets meets political rallies. the most recent event was held this past weekend in nashville, tennessee. >> jesus is king. how many of you agree americans elected president donald j. trump to be our president? how many of you agree general flynn is america's general, ladies and gentlemen? jesus is king and we will win this thing. >> i got board with calling out democrats so i started calling out demons, but they're really oneb and the same. >> billions of people are having their dna reprogrammed as we speak. it's because of this war we're in, a war of narratives, and it's a difficult war. >> should we call the president, the real president? >> joining me now is amanda tyler, executive direc

line between the assaulters and the conspiracies and the lies and the violent rhetoric that brought them to the capitol on january 6th. and michael haven't hit the bottom yet. we think january 6th at the time was the bottom, officers being beaten even to the point of suffering eventual death, but no, no, it's not quite there yet. and that change has to come only and best from within the movement. the extremists have to say, we've had enough. even we can't take this anymore. and i fear, nicole, that we are far from reaching that point. >> and michael steele, back to your good point. the extremists have been evaluated by kevin mccarthy. they're now in control of the house republican conference. >> yeah. there it is. there it is. look, you -- you empower the very people who on january 6th were complicit, complicit by their fist bumps, complicit by their rhetoric, complicit by their silence. and now they are taking that to the next level. and the question for all of us is, how do we respond to it? because we're waiting for leaders to pop up out of a political environment, out of a white nationalist setting. it's going to be a long ti

lies, but at what points dos santos become a vulnerable black male target for foreign adversaries? >> that is a good question stephanie, what you are seeing is generally unsustainable, even as mccarthy and michaelvote and his majority, and not have to deal with any of a slimmer majority. but i don't see that this is even remotely sustainable in the medium term or the long term. i think it was interesting when kevin mccarthy said that he would follow the constitution, obviously in the constitution, there are, there is the ability to expel a member of congress that goes through the house ethics committee investigation. i think that is sort of the path that we are heading down now. look, he's got a lot of problems. he is a serial liar. he might also be a criminal. none of those things, i think, republicans are officially going to want to have serving next to them. in this house. >> let's talk about what house republicans are doing,, robert because despite what they promised on the campaign trail, focus on crime. immigration. inflation. one of the first big moves that they have made is to pass abortion bills that had no chance of becoming a law. what do you think that they are doing roberts? this i

michael, let me jump in -- >> tell me what that situation is. >> let me jump in with a point and a question. the point is, so many people minimized the damage of the election lies. you just singled them out, precisely because when they convince people, some confused people or otherwise of the lie, those people then believe that they are living under the illegitimate government, that they are the freedom fighters. it reverses things in a way that, as you say, endangers a lot of people's lives. that's point one. question is, with a republican party that's two years off an insurrection and went into the midterms with an attack on the speaker's partner, and now today we see 10-year-olds almost hit by bullets, what does the republican party do with these rolling scandals of -- partly -- again, the law enforcement will give us the evidence, we'll report it out. but partly of their own making by ratcheting up encouragement to violence? >> they deflect to joe biden's document scandal. they deflect to hunter biden. they deflect to weaponizations of the government, right? ignoring their own weaponization of citizens against elected officials, against the electoral proces

michael. this book has broken all kinds of publishing records. there was so much hype around "spare."lied canada and the united states. and that's before we know anything about worldwide sales. it was published in english and 15 other languages. it is the fastest selling nonfiction book that the publisher has ever had. meanwhile, the royal family is out in force for the first time since the book went on sale. king charles has been in scotland visiting a community center and members of his local community near balmoral and will and kate are in liverpool at a hospital and mental health charity. someone did shout a question towards the couple. they didn't answer. no one in the royal family seems to want to say anything about this situation. they want to keep their heads down and show they're getting on with the job. meanwhile, there's speculation about what this meanings for the coronation in may. of course, king charles will be crowned then. will meghan and harry come? buckingham palace have yet to release a guest list so we'll have to wait and see. gu guys? >> james, thanks very much. >>>

michael cohen meets facilitators, as the stormy daniels hush money investigation and there's a new dangerous phase for donald trump. also to night, a series of political motivated shootings in arizona show us how the big liesing a new era of political violence in america. in your time sophistication and how the restaurant lobby is using worker fees to keep the minimum wage down. i'll speak to a reporter and activists behind that story. this is american voices. a weekend of protests over abortion access is once again shining a light over the battle of productive rights. it is a battle likely to shape american politics for years to come, and will be a key issue as would begin to talk about 2020. for tomorrow, vice president kamala harris will mark the 50th anniversary of roe v. wade in florida. this is the first anniversary of the 1973 ruling since the supreme court reversed it. harris is expected to lay out of the white house plans to fight new restrictions at the state level, and there is a reason the white house is focusing on florida, the state currently bans most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. however, that is not enough or antiabortion activists who are not demanding new restrictions for govern

lies underneath. take us through what we've learned since we were last all together last week. >> right, my colleagues, nick, grace and michael have done a tremendous job with this story. and really, as you dig deeper into george santos' biography and his public statements, it's becoming increasingly hard to find something he said that was true. almost everything he has said is easily disproved. i mean, the stuff he just brought up about being this all-star volleyball player at a college he didn't even go to, to be this wiz kid at goldman sachs is just lie after lie, compounded upon more lies. and it's -- you know, he's using different names at different points in time. he's -- i think he changed his name in a public appearance as recently as a year or two ago. so, who is this guy, really? and what has he said that's actually true? now, i think the most -- in my view, as a congress reporter, the most significant story that i saw was nick's story that showed that top republicans knew about these misstatements and had serious concerns about george santos, much earlier than the public knew about it. and yet, they either said not

lies then continue to foster across, and it creates the environment we are in. but >> i'm glad you brought that part up about republicans not telling the american people the truth, because michaeland i just saw the tweet from this week twitter feed where he said, do you have any concern about marjorie taylor greene being on the homeland security committee? and he said that he thinks she has matured. isn't he perpetuating the problems that you both have mentioned? any one of, you jump in. >> yes he is. i think matthew would say, i'm not going to say as a fellow texan to imply that he and matthew are in the same place, but i think that matthew would agree that michael mccaul is actually one of the better ones. you would expect a little bit more from him, so if he is saying that she is matured, you know, god help us if we are looking at some of these other members like gosar and santos and others. they are going to define these next republican congress. this is going to be a freak show. i would say this, i would say that he is vague -- saying that marjorie taylor greene has matured is like saying that somebody dug in one flew over the cuckoo's nest. that is what it is. that is not

michael cohen is saying and get as much evidence as they can. >> joyce, our good friend andrew weisman, a close reader of attorney general latisha james lawsuit, messages me she writes in paragraph 600 that weisselberg liedsusanne's point they may be looking for more evidence than additional criminality on weisselberg's part. >> it means they view weisselberg as one of the keys to the former president and, nicolle, it's interesting that michael talked about meeting with a professional team today because one of the additions to alvin bragg's team is someone he hired out of the justice department named michael colangelo, a legal mastermind strategic person when it comes to envisions the whole spread of an investigation. colangelo previously worked in latisha james' office, the new york attorney general. and he was the lower responsible for the successful civil case that they brought that dismantled trump's organization. he was involved in other trump related matters. he's in bragg's office on this team that's taking a fresh look at trump and where he might have potential criminal exposure. so the first step in their view is probably bringing weisselberg onboard they both carry this baggage of having crimin
