declare war on president biden for leaving a box of classified documents in his garage instead of securely using it as a table for the mar-a-lago shrimp fountain. it's time for some big news. ♪ ♪ good evening. i'm james smartwood and i have a faster car than my dumb neurosurgeon brother. top story -- a nation concerned that republicans would ignore global calamity and instead of investigate the bidens for crimes real and imagined can rest easy tonight knowing their concerns are actually spot on. house republicans are focusing on how biden mishandled classified documents and why the feds didn't conduct a bin laden style raid on his abbottabad, delaware, compound. that's according to house oversight chairman and baby food jar baby all grown up james comer. >> why was mar-a-lago raided, but the president's home not? why are the president's lawyers still allowed -- >> the president has loggers? >> -- to go rummage through, looking for documents after a special counsel has been appointed? >> yes.

>> it doesn't make sense. it's not fair. >> comer there channelling every day americans frustrated that different things elicit different responses. joining the chorus of anti-participation trophy republicans whining about fairness was president trump who took a break from his rigorous campaign schedule of shuffling peas around his plate to post on truth social, which after months of research we believe is something on the internet. mar-a-lago is a highly-secured facility with security cameras all over the place and watched over by staff and our great secret service. i have info on everyone. that's right. mar-a-lago famously runs an intense background check requiring every guest to name one difference between their back and the ground. joining me now to lodge our fingers into the bowling bowl of truth, chuck it down the slippery lane of analysis and hit a perfect news strike before realizing we tore our scoop-ula is democratic strategist who dressed as a tray of chicken piccata to sneak into barbara walter's funeral, lydia parker. >> good evening. >> chief washington bureau chief who somehow got in a group chat with a dozen greyhound bus drivers, jonathan keene.

>> hello. >> chief field correspondent who was out all last week because his gerbil had babies, james smartwood jr. >> hi. >> and pbs "firing line" host and "tooning out the news" contributor who has never encountered a human being wearing sweat pants, margaret hoover. thank you for being here, margaret. >> oh, thanks for having me. >> absolutely. now, margaret, the house oversight committee leading these investigations will include paragons of discernment and virtue like marjorie taylor greene, lauren boebert and paul gosar. are these hearings a political winner or could it backfire when hundreds of c-span viewers call an ambulance because paul gosar looks deeply unwell? >> the american public can see the difference between apples and oranges. they can see the difference between the documents investigation in mar-a-lago and the documents investigation of joe biden. in both cases, classified documents belong nowhere in a private person's hands. but they have been handled very differently and with different degrees of honesty and transparency, frankly, by each president.

>> now, i have to agree with margaret. if your entire agenda is big show trials, have some fun with it. i would love to see jim jordan interrogate merrick garland while hanging from aerial silks. >> democrats shouldn't worry about this document scandal, considering biden is extremely good at articulating incisive counter-arguments, assuming it's telling a mouthy union worker to get bent. >> now, let's move on to a new report on republican congressman who during congressional roll call yells out present after every name just to be safe, george santos. the "washington post" says he has deep ties to a businessman named andrew intrater who is the cousin of a sanctioned russian oligarch. the evidence suggests santos may have had a business relationship with itrater as santos with first entering politics in 2020. it also shows that intrater put hundreds of thousands of dollars into santos' one-time employer harbor city, which was accused by regulators of running a ponzi scheme. santos being a potential russian asset is obviously a huge liability if he does not enjoy being revered as a god by republicans.

now, margaret, house leadership is refusing to take action against george santos, even giving him committee assignments. republicans protecting violent insurrectionists who soiled the house chamber is one thing, but a liar? >> pretty remarkable. look, george santos should resign. the house leadership should take him off committees, not give him any responsibility and frankly there should be a special election for that seat. what's quite interesting about these reports is that finally we're starting to get some color on why his self-worth has doubled, tripled, quadrupled changed by orders of magnitude in the last two years. >> george santos is learning that you don't waltz into congress with some oligarch's dirty money. you cartwheel in with peter thiel's dirty money. >> george santos winning his election using a barely scrutinized false biography exposes serious media shortcomings. to hold ourselves to account, let's go to james smartwood jr. who "tooning out the news" embedded with the santos campaign leading up to the election. >> uh-oh. >> junior, why do you think you in the news media missed this story? >> well, with the media companies squeezing their

budgets, i didn't have the resources to conduct true investigative journalism. so instead i just repeat what alisyn camerota said yesterday. >> oh, we love camerota. >> for sure. >> so, keene, what's the solution here? >> the solution is accountability and that's why i am replacing myself on this panel with a different guy. >> who is that guy? >> which one? >> the guy standing over there who looks like he's never worn shoes before. >> oh, him. that's my replacement, the newest member of the big news panel. >> okay. you don't get to do that. this is my show? >> sure, but this is my chair and that is my guy. >> jesus. does he talk? >> it's my understanding that he does talk. >> okay, wonderful. now, margaret, jump in here. isn't the election of george santos just a symptom of a much larger systemic failure of our institutions? >> you know, you can call it that, but the truth is -- >> you're a jerk. you know that right? >> i'm not a jerk. >> yes, you are. >> and you're making me look bad in front of the guy. >> i don't care what the guy thinks. >> well, he's going to be in your house. you should care. >> he's not moving in.

i will move before -- >> i told him you were cool with it. >> i don't care. i can go back on my word. it's not a big deal. i never gave my word. >> oh, i wouldn't go back on my word with the guy. >> oh, great. he's violent? >> oh, for sure, margaret. i agree. >> you've got to buy me some armor. >> all right. okay. i've got a guy. >> all right. we got a deal. not that guy, is it? it's not that guy, is it? >> it is that guy, yes. >> goddamn it. >> he's a blacksmith. >> i don't want the guy who's coming after me to be the same guy to protect me. you understand that, right? >> well, he's bringing his anvil so he'll make it for you there. >> what, does he have like a split personality thing, like, he's two guys? >> no, it's just the one guy. one is kind of rounding up if you know what i mean. >> hold on here. the guy is gone. does anyone know where the guy went? >> i'll tell you where he didn't go, out of this building. >> all right. junior, get back here and start rooting around the ventilation ducts. >> great. i love ducks. >> all right. it takes consistency to become the night swim guy at the public pool, so i gotta go. thank you to my analysts and "tooning out the news" contributor margaret hoover. thank you so much, margaret.

top story -- the battle in congress over raising the debt ceiling could harm america's most vulnerable wealthy nobility. economists from the human rights organization goldman sachs write, it seems likely that uncertainty over the debt limit in 2023 could lead to substantial volatility in financial markets. >> wow, dear. >> no, no, no. >> god. >> this is not why we bought both our nation's political parties. >> congress, this isn't some meaningless culture war like medicaid or women's health. this has real consequences. >> here to discuss is pulitzer prize winning editor of "the new yorker" david remnick. thanks for joining us, david. >> great pleasure, rich. how are you? >> very well. >> now, david, you're an astute observer of democracies around the world. is it a sign of a healthy nation when a few barely elected members of congress representing mostly roving bands of coyotes can inflict financial armageddon because it plays well on newsmax? >> well, you may have answered your own question, sarah. i don't think we live in an -- in an especially stable time in our democracy.

this -- this business about the debt ceiling is just a symptom of how crazy things are in congress, for sure. >> there's a simple solution to getting congress to raise the debt ceiling. wealthy people do their own january 6th. i'll bring the exclusive charmin quadruple ply 900-thread count toilet paper. >> now, david, you wrote extensively about the january 6th riots and the role of donald trump. let's listen to what congressional sisyphus rolling matt gaetz's forehead up a hill kevin mccarthy said after his resounding humiliating victory. >> i do wanna especially thank president trump. i don't think anybody should doubt his influence. he was with me from the beginning. he was all in. he would call me and he would call others. >> oh, come on, speaker mccarthy. donald trump only has the suicide cult support of a mere plurality of republicans in 2024. >> david, we in the media know that donald trump could never be elected president of the united states, especially after the january 6th report describing

his disastrous presidency. back us up. >> no, i'm not gonna back you up. i'm afraid that a lot of people believe what he says. they think that his attitude toward the establishment, despite his being a very rich man and being the establishment himself, but by posing himself as this anti-establishment figure, he speaks for a lot of people who are angry at the managerial class. >> whoo! >> -- at the wealthy, at east coast elites. >> whoo! >> i'm, you know, not expressing agreement, but i'm saying this is why he has so much support and there are a lot of racists. >> whoo! sorry. it's not good to be racist. but, david, remember how that one congressman wouldn't talk to donald trump on the phone. that means he's not relevant and i'm absolutely not desperately extrapolating because i can't handle counter evidence. >> i think eleanor's right about trump's irrelevance as described in my book, "the end of trump," which i published in 2016, as
