hello, everyone. at this hour southwest apologizes for a nationwide travel calamity warning passengers it pay take days to solve a giant puzzle of canceled flights. and silence from top republicans raises a big question, will incumbent new york congressman george santos get away with lying to voters about nearly every detail of his life? plus, a supreme court ruling keeps in place a trump era immigration measure and leaves thousands of migrants in limbo. that s what we re watching at this hour. good morning, everyone. i m amara walker in for kate bolduan. welcome to the seventh day of holiday travel chaos and it won t be the last. for southwest airlines passengers relief could still be days away. the airline canceled more than 2500 flights both today and yesterday accounting for more than 60% of its entire schedule. these issues began with the widespread deadly winter storm, but weather is not to blame for the lingering problems with southwest s system. the u.s. transportat
the republican coalition barred santos from its events but did stop short of calling him to resign. i m listening to his justifications, whatever you want to call it and sounds like he s digging his hole even deeper. amara, he s referred to all of this as an embellishment. it s not an embellishment. it s pathological and in american politics, jokes around judaism or jewish heritage almost always backfire dramatically, but just for context this is really just one of his problems. it is a potent political problem but just one. i think the story is getting worse for george santos, not better and all signs are that he is going to be sworn in next week with a new congress, but i think the big question is even if he is sworn in, what committees can he actually be assigned to? like can you imagine this guy serving on the intelligence

look at the shooting and attempted assassination of the members of congress, steve scalise. the guy was a bernie sanders supporter. a member of congress who is run off the road, the woman got out and pounded on the doors of his car. another instance where a guy serving 15 months in federal prison for threatening to kill another person. we have seen violence as well. that doesn t often get discussed. it s important to discuss that and put some of these other bullying tactics into contacts and how they could turn into a horrific incident. steve: thank you so much. governor, appreciate you joining us. see you soon, i hope. thank you, very much. coming up, more will join the conversation. don t go away you re headed down the highway
