sports of donna shalala accepting a $50,000 check from nevin shapiro. that indicates at the very least she knows who this guy is. i also know for a fact that donna shalala finds and thinks that college football is enormously important to the lifeblood of the university. i know that. i interviewed her in the early 1990s when she was the chancellor at the university of wisconsin where she simply said it, football was very, very important. i was shocked she made it. they made a big change to barry alvarez and they became a top-ten power. i think at the very least we should find out what she knew. look what's happening with murdoch and the news corporation. all these hearings in front of par lam. we all assume he must have known. i find it hard to believe that shalala did not know what's going on when it seems like three-quarters of the athletic department knew what was going on, this guy is hanging around for ten years p. >> fair question. coming up, college football's ugly season facing scandals of every stripe. how widespread is this sort of conduct and

let's bring in conwoman donna edwards, democrat from maryland. congresswoman thanks for joining me. >> thank you, good to be with us, reverend al. >> what do you think about these republican priorities? >> well, they're just completely misplaced. on the one hand they say we don't want to race taxes on anyone except when it comes to raising a payroll tax, sticking american people with $1,000 bill at the end of the year, because they don't want to protect and look out for people who work for a living, but they are unapol y unapologetic when it comes to protecting tax breaks -- >> let me show this graphic. if we don't have this, with the payroll tax cut, you get a benefit of $1.28 for every dollar. with the bush tax cuts, you get only $31 cents in value for every declare. it doesn't even make mathematical sense in terms of the economic benefits to the country if you compare the tax cuts. how do they even try to stand on the floor in front of people like you and justified this in the congress? >> well, they really can't. it's why they're showing up a
