George Santos is a “dead man walking.” That’s how Brendan Buck, former press secretary to Republican House Speaker John Boehner and current political analyst, described the U.S. representative while on Tuesday night’s episode of “Alex Wagner Tonight.”“The problem is George Santos, as we have seen, is not a stable person,” Buck said.Buck emphasized that most representatives who get into situations where they know they will likely be convicted and “have no future” step down. “I just don’t know that we can trust George Santos is going to see that that clearly.
He has really nothing to lose. He’s a dead man walking,” Buck said. “It wouldn’t surprise me is he resists all efforts to remove him.
Even if he’s convicted it wouldn’t surprise me if he resists that.” Federal prosecutors have indicted Santos on 13 charges, including wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and “making materially false statements to the House of Representatives. He turned himself in Wednesday. Many have said that the fate of Santos rests in the hands of Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, who said on Wednesday morning that he will be standing with Santos and will not ask him to resign.
Even if McCarthy wasn’t backing Santos, Buck doubts the Speaker of the House’s power in this situation. “On some level, McCarthy doesn’t really have the ability to push him out unless they bring that almost unprecedented vote to the floor,” Buck said.To date, only five members of the House of Representatives have been expelled: John B. Clark, John W.
Reid, Henry C. Burnett, Michael J. Myers and James Traficant.

John Hopewell Chief International Correspondent Brazil’s on fire, and rapidly putting into place the policies that will rebuild its film and TV industries, which look set to transform it into the film-TV powerhouse of Latin America. That cuts several ways. Under Jair Bolsonaro, Brazilian president over 2019-2022, ApexBrasil, the Brazilian Trade and Investment Agency, saw its funding for Brazil’s audiovisual sector almost entirely nixed. Often working together, promotion agency Cinema do Brasil, backed by Audiovisual Industry Syndicate of the State of São Paulo (SIESP), Projeto Paradiso, a philanthropic org focusing on new talent and project development, and SP Cine, the energetic São Paulo City film commission, did an extraordinary job to support and promote Brazilian filmmakers and companies’ presence at festivals, drawing on highly contained resources.
dragged into another controversy on “Jeopardy!” last night.The congressional representative from New York typified the final — and uncharacteristically “correct” — answer during Wednesday night’s “Jeopardy! Masters” tournament finale. Controlling the board rather early in the game, 24-year-old Mattea Roach picked the $800 question in the “recent events” category. “Subheads in a piece on this NY Rep.: ‘Lied about where he went to … college’; ‘Allegedly Swindled a disabled vet whose dog was dying,'” read host Ken Jennings.

all-time winnings leader Ken Jennings had some fun with one of correct responses on Wednesday’s episode, thanks to the show’s cheeky decision to make it focus on a very well-known, scandal-plagued member of Congress.During the episode, one of the answers in the category of “recent events” read, “Subheads in a piece on this N.Y. Rep.: ‘Lied about where he went to…college’; ‘Allegedly Swindled a disabled vet whose dog was dying.’”The correct question, of course, concerns the infamous serial liar from New York: “Who Is George Santos?” And it was contestant Mattea Roach who gave it to Jennings. In a tone that implied he’d been waiting all night to drop the line, Jennings replied, “I don’t get to say this very much, but George Santos is correct.” Cue the laughter and applause from the contestants and studio audience. Check out the video above. For those that aren’t aware, Santos falsified nearly all of his resume, from his education to his work history to his ethnicity and religion.
