The one on three, 66 days towards luka prevented, Health Experimenting regard they still cant, or wont it means risking his. Job keeping. Immodest also tonight, democratic senator bob menendez and whether anyone actually for all that alleged prime mommy found in his home, and tomorrows fellow democrats in the senate want him. Gone, later the young poet whose words inauguration, and her warning now about silencing writers, and banning books. Good, evening thanks for joining, us we begin tonight keeping them honest with Kevin Mccarthy who buy title is the most powerful republican in washington, Secular Mine AfterVice President harris to the presidency. It is certainly a lofty role, and a lofty title, and today when asked about what it takes, including working with democrats to pass legislation, to prevent russia Government Shutdown, not six days away, Speaker Mccarthy had a lofty. Answer mile focus within my mind, what drives, may is the American People. Will focus, according to the census bureau, there are upwards of 335 Million People in the country, and with speaker, mccarthy we were doing the Peoples Business with only just a fraction of that number, mind it would be an achievement. Tonight the evidence suggests hes mostly concerned with just five or so people. The five are so House Republicans who have so far blocked any legislation to keep in the upper government operating after the end of the month. Something President Biden underscore today. Just a few months ago, the speaker of the house agreed to Spending LevelsHouse Republicans and everyone in america could be faced with federal employees, including those who have to stay on the job with no money coming. In air traffic controllers, federal prison borders, border agents, a shutdown means no paychecks for americans in uniform. It could mean troubles for investors, its also, this historically the Political Party scene is responsible for shutting down the government has paid a price on election day. Speaker mccarthy can avoid that by getting those fibers are hardcore members of his own party on board. This is been hard enough, but just got tougher with the Social Media Post by the former president , and yet he says republicans will not be blamed for it, and urges the shut it down in case they quote get everything, now that post it reduces any because its from the de facto leader joining us now, South Carolina democratic congressman james conquered. He said a Government Shutdown is not a foregone conclusion, are you still relatively remained again. Yes i, am i am just an optimistic aghast. I think that will prevail in the final analysis. If we have i dont think we will recover from its anytime soon. We are talking about shutting down the government on the heels of a comes up from the worst crisis in this country in over 100 years. We know what that did to the economy. Kids are getting back in school, now settling back into a normal routine, businesses are back up and running. A lot of unhappy workers, because everybody is trying to get back on even, kill that to where we were. Before the pandemic. For us to shut down the government down now. Thats just functioning, but flourishing again. He said cooler heads will prevail, but who are the cooler . Heads speaker Kevin Mccarthy will attempt to work with democrats on a short term stopgap that will certainly engage his speakership. , yes it maintained your his speakership, but ill tell you. This i do believe he has 100 solid republicans in his conference who will stay with him. This is no matter what. I do believe that he can find the other votes, beyond 156 that he needs, on the democratic side if he were to settle down, with, jeffries, and negotiate a way forward. I do believe thats possible. Do you think he would lose his speakership . Well i, said or so, people the speakership, youll take out of our conference, 150 or 60 certainly, they would be a thats when he sets, down with Hakeem Jeffries and see what he needs to get the other votes he needs. On the democratic then Something Like this, it would be the way to go. What do you make of the Social Media Post, how much the influence he has on this process . I dont understand for the life of, me ive been around this earth for a long long time, ive been in politics, but 12 or 15 of those years, instead of just anything like this. I dont know anybody who would want this man , and nikki haley, or tim scott . Yes, he was in some of the South Carolinas today. My dad when i was growing up. He was on that community, and the god fearing people, they are, good people who live, they were raised by, i dont quite understand why they feel it is necessary for them to to a guy like this. He is not going to get elected president of United States. Even if he were to get that nomination. I dont think the nomination for him is a foregone conclusion. Congressman clyburn, i appreciate your time tonight. Thank. You menendez until recently, member of the finance and banking committees, he is tonight under federal indictment accused of taking bribes. Today, shortly before a Second Dietetic called for his resignation, he offered an explanation for all of the couch found in his, home in exchange for his efforts to aid new and the government of. Egypt today he was saying he thinks hes going to be completely exonerated when all the facts an explanation for why the stuffed and the pockets are the jacket with his name. On and heres what he. Said 4 30, years i have withdrawn with thousands of dollars in cash from my personal Savings Account. I have kept for a merchants, and because of the history of my family Facing Confiscation in cuba. This may seem oldfashioned, but these were monies drawn from my personal Savings Account based on the income that i have lawfully derived offer those 30 years. Now he also said that he was not aiding egypt, he pointed to his record on the hill as a lawmaker saying that he is taking a stance against egypt, these are some of the defenses that hes starting, but he does not answer every question. In terms of illegal case against, him how strong is . It it, strong hes really different from , Cassidy Hutchinsons testimony before the house committee, millions of viewers around the country, inside the white house affair chief of bus mark meadows watched trumps actions leading up to january 6th. Now she is out with a new book complete with more revelations about that, a fresh allegations about some of the players. Hutchinson gave her First Television interview about it over the, weekend more from our randi kaye. I ended up moving down to atlanta for several months. They did not think it was safe for you to stay in d. C. . No. After months and hiding, former white house aide Cassidy Hutchinson is talking again. She has plenty more to say since appearing before the january 6th committee. As you told cbs sunday morning, she nearly pulled out of testifying before the Committee Last year. I heard the door click, open i turned around, i looked at my, tony says that i cant do this. I started to, walk he gently pushed my shoulders. You can do this. Then he walked out. Hutchinson details, that and much more in the new memoir enough. She describes how her first attorney was paid by a trump pack, and advised her the less she remembered, the better. In the final transcripts, it was written with i dont, know and i dont recall. Which, was information that theyre very clearly recalled. Hutchinson got herself a new attorney, and gain confidence about moving forward, she, says after studying the testimony of Alexander Butterfield from the watergate hearings. Butterfield was the former aide to richard nixon, who exposed the oval Office Recording system that helped topple nixons presidency. He really was the source of strength for me. He gave me the perspective that not only i could do this, but that there was life on the other side of it. Hutchinson is also defending some of her most explosive testimony. She shared with the january Six Committee an incident she, said that a White House DeputyChief Of Staff anthony are not relate to her, describing how Donald Trump On January 6th insisted on being taken to the capitol to join his supporters. When secret Service Agent bobby engle refused, hutchinson described how trump allegedly grabbed for the Steering Wheel of the president ial limousine, and lunged towards the secret Service Agent. When he recounted the story to, me he had motioned towards his clavicle. They said they do not recall the conversation. I stand by what i testified to, in that incident, and in any other incident that had been disputed. Hutchinson also stands by a disturbing new allegation from her book regarding Donald Trumps personal lawyer rudy giuliani. Hutchinson describes how giuliani allegedly groped her backstage during a rally, that preceded the attack on the capitol. His hand slipped under my blazer, then my skirt, she writes of giuliani. Giulianis team calls the accusation a disgusting lie. Absolutely false, totally absurd still, hutchinson stands by her, story and sodas her publisher simon and schuster. Through it all, hutchinson says she is still a republican, but do not expected to vote for trump. He is dangerous for the country. He is willing and has shown time and time again, willingness to proliferate lies, and to vulnerable American People so he can stay in power. To me that is the most unamerican thing that you can do. Randi kaye, cnn. Two of Cassidy Hutchinsons former white house colleague cnn Political Commoner contributor john dean who has his own historic moments testifying before congress during the watergate scandal. The New York Times is reporting fascinating detail from hutchinsons book that she writes about Mark Meadows Burning so many documents in the waning days of the administration that meadows wife complained to hutchinson about how expensive it had become too dry clean the, quote, bonfire smell from the suits. Yes, so the Chief Of Staff office i was a lovely, fireplace my understanding is that in those final days, by the way, publicly mark meadows and others were saying there is not going to be a, Transition Donald Trump won, election they seem to be getting ready knowing a transition was coming and he was burning paperwork. Now i am not an attorney, but i was someone who was subject to the Federal Records Act which required to any president ial documents even if not classified, even if not sensitive, required to archive. So at minimum, that is a basic violation of that. Who knows the actual context of them. And the president directly, one they were new he didnt. It is like out of a mob movie. If true, new feather coming, and they are trying to destroy evidence. That is exactly what it sounds like. You have to wonder, was this going on throughout the white house . What documents may we never have . There is more that i know from talking to cassidy di dont want to get ahead of in the book, but it paints a picture of a warehouse in the final days following january six trying to cover any checks that they can, and trying to anyone doing their was, trying to prepare themselves to announce that onslaught. You testified before the january Six Committee as well, hutchinson describes fearing for her safety, and not being able to return to her apartment in washington d. C. For months. Did you feel you have had that experience of testifying did you have those kind of concerns . I think two to the Bombshell Nature of her testimony, she faced a heightened level of Security Threats. They obviously were amazed that this was going to be something that im faced by coming forward, and publicly testifying, but it was something i knew i wanted to do because that i owed it to the American People for them to hear the truth. Were you scared . To i think that was. It is definitely a scary position to be put in, to know that you are going to face an onslaught of harassment just from random trolls online, but also the former, president our former boss. He attacked, me and cassidy, for coming forward, for testifying, so that is a really scary position to be put in and then know that you might have Security Threats. I had Capitol Police offer to put a good outside my office where i was working at, in the weeks and following the testimony, and they were patrolling outside my apartment. I did not face the same kind of Security Threat that gets the did, where she needed to relocate. I think that should be something that people think about when they attack, her and say that she is a, liar or noon this for, fame or whatever. I dont know why anyone would put themselves through that if they were not telling the truth. As we mentioned, hutchinson said she was inspired by former butterfields testimony during the watergate hearings. I find that very interesting. Obviously he played a crucial role in the existence of the oval office to bring, system do you see parallels between the two . I was inspired by my testimony and thought i had been recorded. Of course, he was correct, and that would change the whole dynamic of the investigation. So i think that is a good inspiration. I was delighted to see they in the weekend clip they had met each, other and alerts indeed regularly admired her getting up and testifying. Melissa, it is extraordinary when you think about sarah and cassidy coming forward, and all of these other people not all of these other people who have careers behind, them are already wellknown, or had you know, sarah, cassidy, these are people at the start of their careers. In their 20s at the time, by the way. I think that is one of the most remarkable part of the story. How many people in positions of power who had much bigger, salaries much bigger titles, and futures, ahead did not stand up until where everyones on january 6th. I think what most people knew in that west wing, it was younger staffers who came forward and put it on the line. Cassidy has openly talked about the fact that she had to relocate. She did not have money. She lost jobs because of her doing the right thing and speaking out against the former president. But listen, that is what we, need people who are going to put what is right in the country ahead of their own inhibition. Thank you. Yet have you here. John dean as well. Programming note, Cassidy Hutchinson will sit down with jake tapper tomorrow for his show the league. Yours at four pm eastern. Just ahead, a surge at the border shelters, might be soon overwhelmed by migrants, and new video of the size of crowds trying to make their way north. David culver joins us on the mexico Southern Border life on the migrant show to the u. S. Next. The venezuelans gathered in the, dark migrant, camp still thousands of miles from the u. S. Southern border and about to embark on or the most precious points of the check north. Someone prompted the crowd to sing the fitness for the National Anthem before they leave. At about four in the morning, but heading into the gap which is a dangerous trail through a Tropical Storm between columbia and panama. U. S. Border official today says theyre expectancy the number of migrants arriving at the Southern Border with the u. S. To remain high. David culver is near mexicos Southern Border with guatemala for us tonight. So what can you tell us about the video and the sheer number of people who have been saying make this journey. The most concerning now, is that youre seeing these massive crowds, which im sure youve seen past, but incredibly organized now and they seem to go in cycles. So, you will see in the first one, those are the ones you mention, and in september, and more than 100,000 colombia, started and continuing through the jungle which is what also officials onto not only are the Terrain Elements in and of themselves treacherous, but people are getting robbed, assaulted, and some of them have even described seeing others lose their lives right in front of them. I talked to some folks who are just a few days on the other side, and e she says it is very dangerous. Very dangerous. She is saying, [speaking in a nonenglish language] she says when they went through the darien gap, seven people they sought, died and around eight years old. A couple hours ago, anderson, i was talking to a group of, kids they age in range between listening in, and what was most disturbing, those kids are describing in detail the bodies that they saw walk away. Just very casual. The trauma that will be stunning with them as they are continuing and last week, the reports of mexican officials had agreed to, quote, depressurized their northern border cities by deporting migrants back to their home countries, but trying to prevent migrants from using the railway system. Are you seeing . That what are you seeing near mexicos Southern Border . Mexico is dealing with a mess right, now anderson. The clouds are building. Let me give you a sense of where we are. This gives you a sense of what we saw from the darien gap, and this is just over the border from guatemala. You can see, here hunches the folks, even another camera to give a better sense of the crowd. Hundreds of folks that have been lined up throughout the past even weeks, and even if we continue over, here it continues and goes much farther back, a couple blocks back and they are settling in for the night because they have lined up, here the officers that are processing some of the Asylum Claims are mexico. That is part of the rules to get to the u. S. , you have to claim asylum in a third country. So they are choosing mexico, or some of them are trying to get transit documents. So they are waiting now until they get their appointments to meet with mexican officials. They then hope to get these documents, and anderson, once they get, them essentially it buys them time to make their way through mexico, and every single one as the same destination in mind, the u. S. David culver, thanks, appreciate it. And when she read her poems, that the inauguration she is not learning her voice to stop the campaign to ban books on library shelves. She joins us. Isnt always peace. In the past, week two point have underscored how widespread the spread of book bans has, become one by pen america says he completed cuero of 33 . Up 40 of all book bans according to the Florida School district. Thats its governor president ial no champion half the challenges are august have occurred in public libraries. Last week more than 175 rioters and signed a Letter Warning at how to quote, unethical to the new Childrens Book out tomorrow something someday. I want to talk to you about your new book, your childrens, work i want to first talk about that Book Bandwidth you and i have talked about before. Pen america, the Literary Group which are partnered within the, past they say there is a 33 new experience this within your book Florida School district, where does this go . I think the book bans will continue to rise unless the meet some type of impediment, as you mention. I think it is important to put, it unless they meet some type of impediment. As you mention, i think it is important to put it numbers as, well these are thousands of book bans. You have seen over 3000 last, year but you are so after look at it from the point of view last, year 60 of those thousands were pretty much filed by 11 people. So this is incredibly small, but a vocal and coordinated minority. The book that was was kind of an off shoot of your poem which you read the of President Biden. I just want to play next to that, because for so many people it was the first time they ever saw you. We are striving to forge our union with purpose, to compose a country committed to all cultures, carlos, characters, and conditions of man. It gave us so much sense of hope in optimism, do you still feel that sent him optimism . 100 , for me hope is a gift to be possessed. It is a gift we practice. It is something we have to fight for, and, learn and, grow and lean into. So i wake up every, day fighting not just for justice, but my own hope and keeping that flame alive. Writing a Childrens Book, what is the process, how do you go about it . I am sure you have noticed these complicated and sophisticated. They really are. They really are, so you have to write it at an age that is accessible for the young reader, but also enjoy boyfriends with a, parent the, family the guardians. So i always try to start with the heart of the book. I was thinking, what was the experience of being a caregiver, a caretaker of a young child at this time who has Big Questions about the world. That is the other thing about childrens works which i hadnt known much about until i did this. You know, it is talking about what is on the page with your child, so interesting. The meaning of the words, and what they see in the, images and things they did not see that they suddenly see. Absolutely. I think that is why poetic thought loans itself so well to storytelling, especially with young children. You are looking at the unit of language as the most powerful measurements of sound, and literature, so for me riding a few words on a peach isnt a it is a privilege, and getting to think very finite about what is the word that is going to have the most impact on this beautiful gorgeous all that is reading my words, that is the fundamental question. The sound of the matter of the words matter to you . Absolutely. It comes to my background of having a speech, impediment being able to read poetry outlawed was a huge form of my own speech therapy, and pathology. So look at it on the page, but also how does this feel moving through a Young Persons body and mouth. Is this something i could imagine someone saying a loud as a huge component . Is that something you still struggle with . Because i had a Reading Issue when i was a child, my old form of dyslexia, i went to somebody and studied, and they still do occasionally. Is that something you struggle with . 100 . That is something a lot of people use the word overcome the Speech Impediment. No, the Speech Impediment is coming with me wherever im going. Im just carrying in a different way. So after about 20 years of speech therapy, i could have this conversation with you. But even just, now i was saying the word press, in saying that the letter r was hard for me. So, you pushed through, and i focused more on the content of what im saying and how it sounds where pierce. I think that is what gives me the bravery to continue what i do. Where is the idea behind this Book Something sunday . What did you want the message to be to a child . I was thinking because i meet with so many young children, especially Elementary School and middle school, and italy are incredibly emotionally intelligent. No there is disruptions and transformations happening in the world. They really want to understand what their place is within it, even from a young age. I wanted to write a book that safeguarded and preserved their hope, and their power, and they are spirit, and vibrancy. And, doing that kind of legacy of the songs there, love just this idea of change going to come. I dont know when it is going to happen, i can tell you if it is tomorrow or the next day, but i know it is arriving someday because of the young people we have in the world right now. Would you absolutely. So im going to read just a small exit from the middle. You make a promise to each other. You say there is a problem, but it is our problem together, so we can fix it together. This problem is big, but together we are bigger. That is lovely. Thank you. Something someday. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Amanda gormans new Book Something someday comes out tomorrow. A lot more ahead. Coming up, Tiller Surfed goes to a football, game and the internet exploded, our Hannity Anton explains why. More ahead. Yesterday, the kansas city shaves destroyed the Chicago Bears, not something i usually mentioned, but its interesting because social media, it seems all anyone is talking about taylor swift at the game cheering on the chiefs travis kelce. Seen sitting next to his mom in a sweet were being a team jacket, and after the game they were spotted leaving the stadium together. How are you doing . Hey. How is it going . For weeks now i guess its been rumored swift and kelsey are dating. Social media users cannot get enough of this, just the latest sign in the extraordinary popularity of taylor swift. Understandable. They have given the two a moniker. Swell see. Trey this, where trailer. Our senior Data Reporter is here to weigh in. What is the impact of taylor swifts presence, what is the impact of it on the team . Merchandise . All of that . Let me just say, im a big believer in love, and i really hope they are together. You know what people talk and say a lot, usually the first things out of their mouth, harry is a big believer in love. I will, i appreciate that. Love will keep us together. As my uncle once wrote. Look, here is the situation. Look at travis kelce, his memorabilia, merchandise, its now in the top five of all nfl players. Its up over 400 . There are numbers on everything. Over 400 in the last day, since of course the chiefs destroyed the Chicago Bears compared to where they were the day prior. The fact is, we have a beautiful picture of that lovely hopeful couple on the screen right there. The fact is, you seeing the effect that taylor swift can have on the merchandise markets. And i hope its something that continues on. The nfl is the biggest Revenue Generator in u. S. Sports. How does it compare to revenue generated by taylor swift . I love this, the average nfl, team according to forbes in the last, year average revenue is a little bit less than 600 million per year. How much has taylor swift eras tour generated revenue in north america . Ticket sales alone, north of two billion dollars. Four times, four times as big. So the fact is, the nfl may be the king of the sports kingdom. But the fact is, taylor swift defeats the nfl. At least the average team. How does the popularity of the kansas city chiefs, which entered told Won The Super Bowl last time. They did. They did. Didnt even know that. We are learning together. Now that taylor swift is interested, i might be interested. How did they popularity spike up with taylor swift . Look at google searches over the last, year a green, wave taylor swift on the map is represented in green. You can see, in 41 states, more people search for taylor swift then search for the kansas city chiefs. Thats not surprising. Its an nfl fan, its somewhat surprising. Especially given they Won The Super Bowl last year. Right. Well thank you. Well watch a game together one of these great days. Or go to taylor swift concert . Maybe, well do a double. I dont know about that. Taylor swifts name is famous around the world. Next we focus on another once world famous name, master. Americas first multimillion or, ask you are one of the richest American Families for generations, what happened, the focus of a new book ive written. Well show you some of what made the astros all that money next. Two years ago i wrote a book called vanderbilt, Rise And Fall of american dynasty. About the extraordinary force created by my moms great grandfather, cornelius vanderbilt. And what happened to it over the generations. Now my Coauthor Catherine and i have a sequel. The book is called aster, the Rise And Fall of the american fortune, its about another once wealthy california american family. The oscars. The name aster became synonymous with wealth and elegant and glamour, but as we write about it in the book, which is just out. Now the story behind the Oster Fortune is a Complex Tale Of Ruthlessness ambition and greed. When you hear the name asked or you might think of allegan balls, high society, and gilded age palaces like this. But the story of how the astros made their fortune and held on to it for so long is not a glamorous one at all. John jacob asked are a young immigrant from germany became americas first Milley Mariner by or monopolizing The Trade Of Beaver and other animal furs in the late 17 and early 18 hundreds. He started buying up all the fires that he could, and then he started voyageing up into the wilderness of state new york, and up into parts of canada. Where he picked up indigenous languages, and very quickly started to a masses for jim. Aster a mass that fortune ruthlessly, using alcohol Indigenous People to get better in trade, and sending them to debt. He bought land in the rapidly growing new york. He and his descendant would come to own much of the land new york was built on. Greenwich village, sites near times square and the land where the Empire State Building now stands. John jacob aster, at the very end of his life, the only regret that he said was that he didnt buy more land in manhattan. His son william foster, acquired the nickname the landlord of new york. Because he builds on the empire that john jacob amassed. And he really refines it to a science. The aster profited from a building of slums and tenement on their land. Buildings with little ventilation, packed with multiple families in each room. Living in deplorable conditions. The rent paid to they aster, would fund their high living for generations. Caroline aster reinvented the Family Affair traitors and slum lords, into science of new york society. Caroline saw that after the civil war, the United States was searching for a definition of itself. She took it upon herself to define what would make american high culture. But caroline son was one of the creators of the hotel, ending up on the voyage of the titanic. With his young second wife. Thats john jacob aster, the richest man on the ship. They mostly depicted in James Camerons film, titanic. Hey aster,. Hello molly, nice to see you. Jack aster died on the titanic along with more than 1500 other passengers. His pregnant wife survived. But his son vincent from a previous marriage inherited much of the asked her fortune and did something no other aster had done. They put much of the aster wealth into a foundation, he was actually the first oscar that rather than trying to build on the astra money they had, decided he was going to do good things with it and give it away. When vincent asked or discovered the condition of some of this lens the aster family controlled, he was appalled. Vincent was married three times, his last wife took over the familys foundation and help to rehabilitate the aster name by giving away some 200 million to charities in new york. The city that had made the aster rich. She became a beloved figure in new york for her philanthropy. Now, citizens metal. Thank you mister president. Her and was unhappy when, her only son was convicted of swindling her out of millions of dollars, getting her to make changes to her well when she had alzheimers. What do you think about the charges
