you. i m jim sciutto. a busy day on this monday. the first day of the new year. new details about the 19-year-old suspect who is accused of attacking three nypd officers in times square on new year s eve. we re learning he was interviewed by the fbi and also on a terrorist watch list. officials say in his diary he detailed a desire to join the taliban and to die a martyr. and the man arrested in connection with those brutal stabbing deaths of four idaho college students set to make his first court appearance. now his family is speaking out for the first time. i ve been in touch with his family. as you can imagine, the holidays brutal for them. the january 6th committee releasing a trove of new documents overnight detailing calls by president trump ahead of the insurrection. what sort of payment rudy giuliani requested for his post-election legal services and what the committee wanted to ask former chief of staff mark meadows in a deposition. more on that in a moment.
one more thing to watch. thank you. thanks, guys. up next, republican kevin mccarthy trying to make a deal with his own party to be the next house speaker what he s offering and what he s already given up and why with all those concessions and just 24 hours left to go, he still doesn t have the votes. he s given up a lot. dramatic scenes of flooding in california that led to the deaths of at least two people. more than 50,000 people still without power this morning. we ll take you to the scene live. we re also watching thousands of people in brazil right now paying their final respects to the soccer legend, pele, as his coffin lies at the center pitch at center pitch in his home stadium. what a place for folks to say good-bye. stay with us. the monster, the outlaw. and you can t forgetet about the boss. itit wasn t just a roster. it was a menu. the subway series. the greatest menu of all time.
taken away from us, things expected to be part of our society. like roe v. wade is on the chopping block. as mara said, voting rights being gutted all over the country. even the legitimacy of the supreme court is in question. he s not wrong. i started politics girl in the first place because i believe in the american experiment. but it is a participation sport. we all have to be involved. part of that is waking up and smelling the coffee and knowing that we are actually in a very precarious time. and we re at a tipping point. . he s optimistic. but, mara, what he s saying, or what i m not trying to put words in the justice s mouth, but he is giving off the sense that the trajectory is going in the wrong direction compared to when he first came onto the court. yeah. you have to keep in mind the court has changed a lot in the last few decades.
immigrants first and americans last. we are 1 of 14 states that did not expand medicaid for american citizens under the affordable care act, which is anything but affordable for americans, obamacare. secondly, what he s doing, laura, is actually using some of your tax money and some of my tax money, and everyone watching, because most of medicaid dollars, they are organized by the state, but the money comes from the federal government. so the more they expand medicaid, laura, the more they are having 49 other states supporting their liberal policies. this is financial suicide. its fiscal insanity. they lead the nation now in people on medicaid, over 12 million. they lead the nation in the illegal immigrants. think about this, laura, think about this. he says this policy, he s expanding it from under 18, which they now give to illegal immigrants under 18. laura: 25. under 18 to 25. now he s expanding it under this
