9:00 pm
soldiers who are protecting their lands and the civilians that are now in jail. i cannot change the history. i cannot change the past. you are some of the most talented people in the world. we can make sure the history and the truth will prevail. the people that have given their lives may never be forgotten. cinema forms memories and memories form history. thank you all and thanks to ukraine. e.
9:01 pm
>> we like to say here that the truth matters, but only if you see it. these we thank you for your film and your bravery. on that note i wish you a very good and safe night. from all of our colleagues, thanks for staying up late. smack thanks to you at home for joining us do you remember when the right wing freaked out t about bud light? they were really freaked out. they were shooting bud light cans. they were hitting bud light cans with baseball bats. they were setting up towers of bud light cans to use as target practice at republican party lincoln day dinner's the right
9:02 pm
was very, very upset about bud light they were so mad. in the -- in florida, the governor got so excited about it he ordered an official investigation into bud light. in congress, house republicans started their own federal congressional investigation of bud light. they have spent the better part of last year on this. no longer would everyone see it as the beer as more flavor the fold than bud light -- coors light but not quite as flavorful as miller light. if you are drinking like beer, no one expects to be in love with that stuff, anyway. that is how we all used to think of it. after nearly a year of right wing culture war, no holds barred demagoguery against bud light, no longer what any self-
9:03 pm
respecting republican purchase bud light because it was on the endcap. no, over the course of just under a year, it was transformed from a normal american thing you don't think much about into something very, very bad. something you shoot on sight. the former president jumped on board. money does talk, anheuser-busch now understands that. he said that in a post promoting right-wing boycotts of companies that seem to be liberal or maybe if you squinted they might feel liberal but you are not sure why. bud light over the course of this last year became a conservative target. a trump world bogeyman. until donald trump did a total 180. out of the blue, he decided, unilaterally, to call off the fight against bud light. he told all his followers to
9:04 pm
start drinking bud light again. he said, anheuser-busch is a he great american brand that deserves a second chance. what caused this radical u- turn? what atcaused the former president to turn on a dime like this? the word dime is a help in this question. if you put that trump post back up there, where he says everyone to go back to drinking bud light, look at the time and date stamp. just make that a little bit bigger. there we go. keep that in mind. 3:30 p.m. on february 6. why is that when trump did his 180 degree u-turn on bud light? well, look what happened that same day. lobbyists for anheuser-busch announces a $10,000 per plate fundraiser. at 9:40 7 am the lobbyist announces a fundraiser for
9:05 pm
trump. that same day at 3:30, trump announces he has changed his mind on bud light and conservatives should drink red light again. that fundraiser was announced on february 6. it was held wednesday last week. all anheuser-busch had to do al was announced they were going to do the fundraiser to get trump to do what they wanted. to get him to call off what had been a year's long conservative culture war, topline issue. would you like the head of the republican party in the next pu nominee to be president of the united dates to do something for you? is there something you would like him to do for you or your company? perhaps you would consider opening your checkbook and swiveling your wrist. that is apparently what it took to end the great right wing bud light freak out of 2023-2024
9:06 pm
now, behold, here comes the w, same process, again. at the end of last week something happened in k washington that almost never happens. there was a vote in congress on a new piece of potential policy. new legislation that would actually do cya thing. it is not just some kind of stunt which is what we see out of the republican controlled congress this was an actual policy end on a somewhat controversial issue. nevertheless, the vote on this bill was 50-0. 50-0. this is a committee boat. it is a committee that is divided between democrats and republicans democrats and republicans these day players do not agree that the sun rises in the east and that bud light is generally them more tasteful beer. they took a vote and it was 50- 0. 50-0, that never happens
9:07 pm
this bill is moving. it has unanimous support. it is on its way to the house or. after that 50-0 vote, this would obviously be expected to pass. it has y the support of the republican speaker of the house. it also has the support of resident joe biden who says, if indeed they pass this and it gets to his desk, he will sign it this bill is on the issue of tiktok. whatever you think of it, there have been bipartisan concerns that have been expressed for a long time that this very cost -- popular app can pose threats because of links of the company that owned the app and the
9:08 pm
chinese government. already, if you are a federal government him we or contractor, if you have a phone are another device that belongs to the federal government, the federal government says you area not allowed to install tiktok on that device. there are similar bands in more than 30 states. this bill racing through congress right now would effectively force tiktok off the market altogether. it would not just be for government employees, not just the military, it would basically mean you could not download it in the united states anymore. it would require app stores to remove tiktok. you cannot download it reanymor the only contingency would be if the company was sold to a firm that did not have links to the chinese government and
9:09 pm
beijing. tiktok would effectively be off the market . as i said, this is a real policy. it is a matter of both concern and also some controversy, certainly. but, politically, this is one of the few things on which democrats and republicans pretty much agree. pu it was a 50-0 vote in the energy -- committee last year. resident biden supports the bill and will sign it lots and lots of democrats it's a it,. that includes donald trump. when he was president, in the summer of 2020, he tried to ban tiktok unilaterally, himself he tried to force the company to be sold he issued an
9:10 pm
executive order banning any american citizen from making a transaction with tiktok. he tried that in the summer of 2020. that executive order was struck down by the courts which is whys tiktok is not banned right now. trump was very clear and made a huge issue of tiktok being evil and dangerous. that was his stand until something happened. do we have that cash register sound? ♪ cha-ching ♪ >> after trying to step out and shut this down in the united
9:11 pm
states he has come out and said actually, we should not get rid of tiktok, that would be terrible. has a lot going for. he said so online on thursday and today, he said it in an interview on cnbc. >> there are a lot of people on tiktok who love it there are a lot of young kids who would go crazy without it. there are a lot of users that do a lot of good. >> it is a lot of good, really. all of a sudden. why the change? some have noted that trump recently hosted jeff yass who is a billionaire investor in the company that owns tiktok. step one, notice nearby man.
9:12 pm
who has a $33,000,000,000.15 percent stake in the company. step three, need money desperately. step four, announce a new ep stance in favor of the company you used to pose while blinking eyelashes at the man you just noticed. step five, cash it. if you would like the head of the republican party and the republican party's next nominee to be part dished to do something for you or your company, open your checkbook and swiveling your wrist. if you don't believe me, take it from trump's own folks. steve bannon suggests donald trump has been bought. steve bannon, the former advisor suggested on saturday
9:13 pm
that the former president was paid off after a shift in his stance on senator manchin or. o when even steve bannon is like, this guy appears to be for ea sale, he has been sentenced to prison and is out of prison while his appeal is pending. he has been put up on charges that had to be pardoned by trump for an alleged massive fraud scheme. he is going to be charged for that alleged massive fraud scheme. and he is saying it is a little transactional. this guy appears to be for sale. if steve bannon is saying you appear to be a little for sale, that means you have ceased to be subtle about it. this is the part of the commercial or this commercial
9:14 pm
where the pitchman starts talking about what a big sale this is, indeed. where everything must go. because the need for money is real. on friday, donald trump had to put up cash and collateral for a $91 million bond in the case in which he was found liable for repeatedly defaming e. jean carroll. we have been looking at that, i think the frame on that is that this is a difficult and dangerous time for donald trump. but because of the position he is in, it makes it a difficult and dangerous thing for us as a country. he has to put up bonds for $500 million worth of poor judgment
9:15 pm
right now within the next two weeks. he has put up $100 million of that, still another 400+ million dollars to go. he does not appear to have the cash and assets and collateral to pay for those bonds and put e up what he needs to put up without considerable strain, if he can even hobble anything together to boast -- bolster those bonds together. he desperately needs money, right now. that have a billion-dollar bond, that is two weeks from today. he needs that money so urgently, right now while he is openly changing his publicly held, long-held, heartfelt positions in a way that seems to be straight up responsiveness to ♪ ka-ching ♪ financial incentives.
9:16 pm
there is no public transparency into who might be cosigning to with him or otherwise th underwriting these bonds somebody helping him put up the cash and collateral? if so, what are they getting in exchange for their generosity? we know the name of the bonding company that put up the $91 million bond for the e. jean carroll case. we don't know if it was trump alone or trump and some helpers who put up the cash and collateral necessary. we asked mr. trump this evening. if he would tell us if there are cosigners or anyone otherwise assisting him. we have not heard back from him and we will let you know if we do. but, in national security terms, this is a family dangerous thing. regardless of what it means for him personally and politically, it is dangerous for us as a country. if you needed to get a security
9:17 pm
clearance, or you wanted to, but when he applied for that clearance, the if ei did their bit room check on you and found that you are in this much need of this much money this urgently, if you were applying for a security clearance right now and the f i found that two weeks from today, you need to put up cash and collateral to secure almost half $1 million of bond to pay your court judgments, do you think you would get a security clearance? there is no chance you would ever be approved for even the lowest level security clearance. the risk is too obvious that you would be tempted to sell americans secrets for this money that you so desperately need. whether or not you were known to be a particularly transactional type of person, there is no way that the scene, that would not be seen as a national security risk. last week, politico was first
9:18 pm
to report that he would be receiving classified briefings again. no one has ever received classified material while in court for --. needing to come up with half $1 million of cash and collateral to put up bonds to pay their court judgments work there is a lot going on in republican politics right now that is nothing we have ever seen before. that is underplaying it a bit. even not just when it comes to him, but to people in the trump world of republican politics. trump advisor peter navarro has been told to report to federal
9:19 pm
prison next tuesday. april trump republican lawyer who tried to overturn the re--- the election results, she has had a bench warrant for her arrest after she refused to comply with court orders to have a dna sample taken and fingerprints taken. there is a warrant out for her arrest. in the state of wisconsin, -- the trump effort to get revenge on that particular legislator in wisconsin, that has already led to multiple rooms wisconsin officials ring --. they are trying to recall him when wisconsin is one of most important swing states in the country. as recently as this weekend, trump rallies are still starting with a version of the national anthem sung by people n who are in prison for their
9:20 pm
role in the january 6 attack on congress to overthrow the general election. then they play the sound from the prison. just tonight he said online st that he would order the release of january 6 defendants as one of his first acts in office. there is a lot going on in republican politics right now which is not the way things usually go. there is a lot of overlap between crime and politics, prison and politics. as politico.calm reports on the bloodbath at the are in c with trump office people taking overm and as of today they are firing dozens of people in the ns republican national committee,
9:21 pm
there is no longer an effort to stop them from paying his personal legal expenses, we are in a place where the entire republican party apparatus is merging with trump's personal legal defense apparatus. the way he has been behaving when it comes to being transactional at his time of most desperate financial need puts us, no matter how you think of him, no matter whether you care about politics or not, it puts the american people in a radically fragile lace when di it comes to what exactly is for sale in our country. bud light and tiktok seem to have get out exactly where you insert the coins to receive your prize. if anything is for sale, if everything is for sale, what

9:26 pm
i have to warn you, the social media profile i am about to show you is a little racy, i guess is the word. i don't know. consider yourself forewarned. it is not pornographic but that is the idea it is going for. apologies in advance. you will see why i need to show you. may i introduce you to magababe. she claims to be a good
9:27 pm
christian girl from the south looking for a good christian man. there is a lot to unpack, there. the social media presence is exactly what you would ask back. lots and lots of pro trump material, anti-biden, anti- trans. starting in late january, our friend magababe wandered into some odd territory. the same account started posting highly edited videos of high profile democracy advocates. magababe claimed to have, herself, uncovered a secret plot to overthrow the government of hungary.
9:28 pm
it is hard enough to draw stuff on your chest into the taste. as we have now learned, this new interest in hungarian geopolitics from magababe was the result of a several months long dirty tricks operation. as you may have guessed, magababe is not a genuine account shocking, i know. it is not a good christian girl from the south, it is just a way for operatives running this campaign to inject their disinformation material into the internet bloodstream for their own purposes. within hours of the magababe account posting these videos, a pro viktor orban new site in
9:29 pm
hungary picked it up and cited them as evidence to topple the hungarian government. grave concerns were expressed saying that these magababe videos pointed to crimes that need to be investigated work the way this works is that it gets laundered. it doesn't have to be believable at any step of the process. it doesn't have to be real, it just has to be something that they can say is out there. then, authoritarian leaders grab onto this attack and they use it to go after, maybe even criminalize their opponents. here is another one. in the days after a russian opposition leader was killed, a russian website that was made to look like a news outlet
9:30 pm
posted what it claimed was a leaked audio recording of two high-level u.s. state department officials discussing who should replace him as leader of the russian opposition. the implication being that there is no real russian opposition. that anyone opposed must be part of an american front or what is in fact a u.s. government operation. like he was not a real opposition figure, just a tool of the american government. this supposedly leaked audio was so obviously fake it would fool exactly no one. a statement up official told the daily beast who broke the story, in case the thick russian accent pretending to be u.s. officials were not clear, we can confirm this audio is fake. still, it doesn't have to appear to be all that real, they will launder it. if you say it has been cited here and describe it there, you
9:31 pm
move into another fake news site the russians successfully got this idea into circulation. if you searched the names of the people in this story, the u.s. government officials who were named as the suppose it sources of this leaked audio, the hoax audio came up as result number two and three on google. if you click through to the new story, you would be taken to this site, the miami chronicle. it might've. to be a florida new site. but this chronicle has existed for less than a month and created by russians. so is this very similar looking one. not the famous new york daily news, but instead, the new york news daily. here is another one, the chicago chronicle. that sounds like it could be a real paper, but it is not.
9:32 pm
or this one, the d.c. weekly. all these sites have the same mix of aia generated stories on hot button issues plus a whole slew of stories advancing the criminal line on the war in ukraine not long ago the d.c. weekly site posted an entirely made up story about volodymyr zelenskyy spending tens of millions of dollars on a pair of yachts for himself. it is perfectly designed to spread on social media as if it were from some real news site. at least one republican member of congress and one republican senator then cited the fake yachts as a reason to stop funding money for ukraine. while that is hilarious about them, in all seriousness,
9:33 pm
ukraine funding is still being blocked by republicans in congress these very obvious russian fake news sites are proliferating right now. they are not sophisticated you spend just a few seconds on one of these sites and you quickly realize this is not a newspaper bringing you news since 1937. they do not have to be sophisticated to spread this information effectively. just spread it around and say you have seen it somewhere else. you get the government to comment on it if you can just get it into the bloodstream, lend an aura of credibility to posts flying by, mission accomplished. joining us now is --. they uncovered the russian roots. thank you for being here. i appreciate having your time here tonight >> did i explain any of that
9:34 pm
wrong or put the emphasis in the wrong place or get it the wrong way around? >> you did a remarkably good job this is a campaign we have been tracking for several months now that combines really old russian tactics dating back to the kgb with new technology in frightening ways that may have implications. >> given that they are using old tech six, what is it about new technology that makes this more difficult to come back? >> absolutely. in 2016, 2020, all we had to worry about was fake social media accounts now, we have to worry about fake systems, fake organizations, fake media outlets. these large language models make disinformation cheaper to
9:35 pm
do at a scale that is a little intimidating. >> in terms of trying to build up resilience, i feel like a lot of the discussion over the last eight years since the russian social media intervention to try to help get trump elected, a lot of the discourse has centered on the fact that people need to get smarter about discerning the original authorship and quality of the material they are seeing online. they need to become more discerning consumers of online information. the thing i find regularly troubling is that what you are describing is information that is not sophisticated, not well done, that is not evolving to become unrecognizable as fake or as for disinformation, this is really crude stuff, but it is spreading far and wide and
9:36 pm
quickly. >> the thing the russians are good at is engaging with very specific communities on the u.s. and abroad on both the left and the right and telling those communities what they want to hear. lots of research over decades tells us that when people are told what they want to hear, they will believe it what the russians do, they pull people along to believe even more extreme versions of those things they wanted to believe already. that is exactly what they are doing with this campaign. this campaign has targeted specialty narratives around western support for ukraine. there are a lot of communities who want to be critical of ukraine right now. >> darren linvill, this is really important work.
9:37 pm
this makes people smarter about what they are looking at. thanks for doing it and thanks for doing it in a public facing way like this more news ahead, stay with us. us. eight months pregnant... that's a different story. i couldn't slow down. we were starting a business from the ground up. people were showing up left and right. and so did our business needs the chase ink card made it easy. when you go for something big like this, your kids see that. and they believe they can do the same. earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase with the chase ink business unlimited card. make more of what's yours. have you ever considered getting a walk-in tub? well, look no further. ink business unlimited card. proudly made in tennessee, a safe step walk-in tub

9:41 pm
president biden had a good state of the union last week. very well received. of all the quotes and clips you might have heard from the state of the union, i think this one was underplayed.
9:42 pm
i partly blame myself that it was underplayed that night. there were so many things, so many moments in the speech that we kept going back to and talking about, this one got lost in the shuffle. when i woke up the next morning i thought, that moment from the speech, this one i am about to play here, that should have been all over the lace. that was a good moment. watch. >> my friends on the other side of the aisle put social security on the chopping block. if anyone tries to cut social security, medicare or raise the retirement age, i will stop you. >> i will stop you. if anyone here tries to cut social security, medicare, raise the retirement age, he goes off script, i will stop you.
9:43 pm
he made a forceful point even more forceful. about protecting social security and medicare against republican plans to cut them. this is a central that president biden and the democrats would love to run on. the republicans want to cut social security and medicare. we, the rep -- the democrats will stop you. they would love to run on this. today, former president donald trump did an interview in which he was asked, have you changed your outlook on how to handle entitlements, social security, medicare and medicaid mr. president? >> he responds there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting. the biden campaign was quick to jump on those. with the caption, not on my watch. the trump campaign went into damage control mode claiming the comments were not about cutting the entitlements but
9:44 pm
about cutting waste. joe biden is still delivering this clear message that we are not going to cut social security and medicare donald trump has thrown open questions about it today and republicans continue to insist we must cut those those questions are swirling in part because they are all being very open about the fact that they really want to cut social security and medicare. just this past month, one former trump advisor, one of the weirdest thing i have ever heard at this, one of the most evil organizations in america is the aarp, the american association of retired people. one of the most evil organizations in america. the american association of retired persons. everyone knows them as satanic. proposals to cut these programs
9:45 pm
are equally unpopular. americans of all ages like the idea of protecting retirees. aside from abortion, this is one of the most political issues for democrats running against republicans. republicans cannot seem to stop themselves from salivating over it the idea of making these unpopular cuts. on the other hand, it also feels like a refreshing outbreak of normal politics in a year when everything else feels quite dystopian and like we are reading some bad novel about some other country that lost their democracy. this feels like normal politics. joining us now, thanks for being here tonight. >> thanks for being here. great to see you.
9:46 pm
>> i do feel like even though cutting social security and medicare is a terrible idea, and i think it is terrible politics, i do think there is this little bit of sunshine around this issue because it does feel like an outbreak of normal politics when everything else has been so radical and and pain. >> it does. here we are setting the republican party being pro- russian, saying we should take money away from ukraine, donald trump having nothing to do with the republican party, i feel the same way. if you look at one theme that runs back to maybe 1936, it is the democrats agreeing that the measure of a society is how well it takes care of its old, sick, and poor. the republicans have always talked about cutting all these government programs beginning with social security.
9:47 pm
that is what barry goldwater said, it should be made voluntary. george w. bush said, let's privatize it. donald -- ronald reagan and jimmy carter, jimmy carter said, if our people elect you, you are going to try to cut medicare and reagan said, there you go again. he said not in 1 million years. as it turns out, once he became president, he tried to cut medicare by $20 million. not only is this familiar, it is a great idea for democrats to campaign as the party that will make sure that the lives of those who need coverage are protected. >> i feel like over the course of my adult life, maybe before my adult life, my whole life on earth, i feel like there has been a conservative media discipline on this issue where
9:48 pm
everywhere from right-wing talk radio to washington think tanks to academic conservatives, they are relentless in making the case that social security is terrible, medicare and medicaid are terrible, they all need to be cut. 50 years of republican and conservative messaging against us. my feeling is, it has not done anything to change the wisdom of this is a political issue because it has not persuaded the american people and american voters to go along with that, even though conservatives have been arguing it for more than a generation. >> absolutely. that is how 2024 is elect -- is different. if trump is elected this fall, for the first time in history, you could see lethal cuts to medicare and social security and other programs that people depend on. dwight eisenhower in 1952, he had his right-wing brother in washington state and kept on
9:49 pm
writing him and calling him and saying, you have been present for three minutes, why haven't you destroyed social security. eisenhower writes, edgar, any political party in america that decides to destroy things like social security, that is the last you'll ever hear of that political party. i am not sure trump and the republicans understand that rule. >> michael, thank you for talking to me about this tonight. i knew i wanted to look into the history of this. of course i have never known about that. that is fantastic. great to see you. >> thank you, i feel the same way. e way.
