steve bannon served as vice president of the firm. from the outset the objective was clear nothing less than a revolution in the election campaign process despite multiple interview requests cambridge analytical has refused to speak with us. but it's possible to understand the work they did by simply watching their advertisements political campaigns have changed they're no longer about running the most t.v. spots sending out the most direct mail or spending the most money they're about to spend the smartest in today's political world the campaigns are getting more expensive and elections are won by small but crucial numbers of votes putting the right message in front of the right person at the right moment is more important than ever this is where cambridge analytical in our revolutionary data modeling techniques can help. it sounds like a more logical approach to campaign strategizing however the reality is more complex and above all much murkier than cambridge and in that it was willing to admit that. since coming to the. united sta

e-mails from president trump's two confidants, steve bannon and his personal attorney rudy guiliani.e was warned last year guiliani was used to feed misinformation to the president. >> reporter: we are being told by two people who have been briefed on what the fbi is doing. they're looking into these unverified e-mails, hunter biden published by the new york post of foreign business dealings are a part of the bigger russian disinformation effort which is well under way in the final days of the 2020 race. the intelligent community has said for months that russia is very actively engaged in a disinformation company in this 2020 election, in particular against joe biden to denigrate his campaign in favor of president trump. your post says they got these hunter biden e-mails from rudy guiliani and steve bannon, that they were found on a laptop left in a repair shop in delaware, which according to guiliani's lawyer then reached out to guiliani, bannon according to paper cated he knew about the hunter biden e-mails last month. for a long time, guiliani has been openly working to did he go

the post has said it obtained the emails through two trump confidants, rudy giuliani, and steve bannone are you learning here? >> reporter: we're learning that the fbi is lead thing investigation, which is looking into whether this russian disinformation campaign that has been targeting joe biden's campaign, spreading this idea that he was part of some corrupt business ties of his son, who was serving on the board of a ukrainian energy company called burisma, that somehow this involved corruption of joe biden. that's what the russians have been trying to spread. and whether that is now connected to this new set of emails, alleged emails, that have been published by "the new york post." now, these are emails that allegedly show hunter biden trying to monetize and trying to use his ties, his father's position obviously in the obama administration to make money. and so that is what the fbi is now taking a look at, to see whether all of these things are connected. "the washington post" is now reporting, erin, that the president himself and the white house were warned that rudy giuliani was

in my film, you kind of watch bannon's first year after he's become the most famous and powerful thathis association with the trump campaign and then the trump white house. he leaves the white house, and he is trying to figure out how to maintain, if not extend and grow his power and influence. allison clayman's documentary joins a number of movies critiquing the trump administration. many of these films have touched audiences and garnered acclaim, but when it comes to the real world, there's still a question of whether these pictures can bring about actual change. it's really hard to imagine what could convert someone. i think what film—makers like me are doing is a little bit more about exposing, you see with your own eyes what's happening behind closed doors. i think you should let me run the country. those who oppose trump aren't the only film—makers who have been enboldened during this time. dinesh d'souza, a far—right film—maker who was convicted of campaign finance fraud was given a pardon by trump in 2018. his latest film from, trump card, criticises the democratic party and l

and rudy giuliani. >> steve bannon, who could go wrong?"the new york post" put out a story with an email which is not confirmed to be authentic and suggested a meeting between joe biden and a representative from the ukrainian company that had once paid hunter. >> wait, where are we spreading the lies here? because biden said no evidence. the campaign said there's no evidence of meeting -- the meeting ever took place and "the new york post" never asked the campaign about the critical elements of the story and a former official who talked to "the washington post," the intelligence raised concerns that giuliani -- here we are in 2020. this is what it's come down to, america. giuliani is feeding russian misinformation to donald trump and feeding russian disinformation to "the new york post" and it is so obviously disinformation that the person who writes the story won't put their name on it because they know it's a lie. >> yeah. well -- >> that's where we are in 2020. just to let you know. they're still talking, the russians and by the way, ru

maria: joining me right now is former white house chief strategist, steven bannon.this morning. thank you so much for being here. we've been talking about this potential corruption for a while. what is your reaction to what we've learned? >> well, it's very simple. this story is not about hunter biden. it's about joe biden. it's about how joe biden's lied to the american people. he's lied about this for years. and on the debate stage with president trump, when president trump called him out, he lied to the american people again on nation nail tv. the mainstream -- national tv. george stephanopoulos didn't want to go near this story last night. it's the biggest story in the world, on the biden's corruption, on access to biden, on biden's lies, with biden's relationship, direct financial relationships, about the fbi and about social media and really mainstream media pulling guard for him. abc did not want to touch this. you can tell the mainstream media, social media, they are petrified. this story has stopped any momentum that joe biden had. biden campaign does not k

, for example, and steve bannon's contact donald trump. the carter page warrant were direct assault and first and fourth amendment rights of all americans and you say this isn't a partisan issue and people from the spectrum view it as an american issue. as this unfolded, when did you start to believe that they weren't just after you, they were trying to get to perhaps president trump or others on the campaign? >> well, it's interesting, sheryl because i actually threw my contact with the intelligence community and i had someone give me the head's up even before the first -- one of the main defamatory articles which was used by the comey by -- fbi to t the fraudulent warrant, way back in 2016i contacted mine with ties to the intel community told me that the democrats had paid quote, unquote, opposition research people to dig up dirt on then candidate trump and his supporters such as me. so i knew that they were in the process of trying to come up with these lies, primarily with the initial idea of just pumping it out to the media and gettin

the new york post said they got these e-mails from steve bannon.d a dutch broadca broadcaster that people should stand by for news from joe biden. this is not the first time bannon has tried to dig up dirt on the opponent. he was actually sanctioned by the u.s. treasury department. you have rudy giuliani openly working with a known russian agent and the president was reportedly warned about it. the "washington post" now reporting that the intelligence community was so concerned about this that they told the white house, and then the national security adviser himself told the president that any information that rudy giuliani brought to him could be contaminated by russia, wolf. >> that's pretty stark, indeed. what is rudy giuliani saying to this idea that he could become a tool for the russians? >> he's denying all of this. he's trotting out the deep state argument we've heard from many in the trump orbit saying members of the intelligence community are out to get trump. take a look at what he said earlier on fox news. >> no one in the trump adminis

kennedy: i think you plays into the same way that bannon, and paul a manafort got into politics easiest group could find, according to this repair shop owner he tried to contact other more legitimate sources, and they did not accept his advances but there actually may be something on there do you think possible that joe biden got a kickback or two richard? >> i don't think that is possible i think that ?oois why not. >> one rejecture because i think very there is no evidence pointing to that right now i any a lot of misinformation a the lot pointing figures look at hard faction in this case the hard faction yesterday to be determined one real news source a talking about this "new york post." kennedy: radio "the wall street journal"? >> the actual meet here -- >> that is not true because the only major news network ignored the story nbc, cbs devoted some time to it. >> what a shocking concept propagandistsr mainstream media don't want to pursue this might damage their boy down homestretch honest media interested in truth facts might ask hard questions of joe biden, i mean i know hard ken

and bannon realizes that's exactly how trump sees it. it's all about him. you guys point out in the book that we have had other populist moments in our history, somewhat around the time of the andrew jackson, the progressive era at the beginning of the 20th century, to some degree during the great depression, but we had a government that was sort of capable of dealing with these citizen passions. could you sort of walk us through our own country's history with populism. >> well, i can take a stab at it. one of the main themes of our book is that populism is an expression of dissatisfaction with real problems in society in modern times it's the disbankruptcy of the globalizeddation and technological change and immigration and other forces of modernization, but the fact is our government has been really ineffective at dealing with these problems and that's why there's a populist rage against the system. the system that doesn't work for them. this kind of thing has happened before. so, around the turn of the century, 100 years ago, this country went through a

although, to be fair to trump, guys, he has spent a lot of time with stephen miller, steve bannon, jeffsions and the rest of the dudes, so, i mean, usually, he probably is the least racist person in the room. by the way, i love how he always says that he's done the most for black people with the possible exception of abraham lincoln. the possible exception. like, yeah, lincoln freed the slaves, but trump gave omarosa, like, three jobs! three jobs! but there you have it, last night's debate is done. and with it the debate season of the 2020 election cycle is over. it's been a long journey. a long journey from that first debate with 4,000 democratic candidates up until now. and you know what we thought? we thought, since we're saying goodbye, let's take one last look at all the fun we had. ♪ ♪ >> a billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse faced lesbians, i'm talking about mayor bloomberg. >> if we're going to force americans to make these radical changes, they're not going to go along. throw your hands up, but you -- >> mr. vice president, there's a saying in my community you're d

we don't understand how these emails got from wilmington to the new york post anding and steve bannonof it. the biden campaign has been clear. joe biden did not have a meeting with this individual. there was no public meetings on his schedule. what you're going to hear from the vice-president in the debate and in the closing days of this election is not about this sort of trumped up scandal and more about what he's going to do for the american people. i would advise donald trump and his campaign to be very careful how they move with this story. in the closing arguments of this election with covid-19 on the rise in 36 states do you really want to close on joe biden being corrupt or do you want to have a message for the american people? in 2016 the reason beam resonated with people he talked about building the wall and fixing american trade issues and draining the swap , with just 14 days left that closing message? there isn't one >> harris: it is a valid question, james freeman. where do you want to put the last time that you see this many of the american people in one venue? no matter

>> i've got to ask you because steve bannon has said if trump loses 3% to 4% of the establishment republicans it could sink him. what are your polls and research showing you? are there that many of you right now, enough to sink him, 3% to 4%? >> yeah, that's always been the great fallacy that, you know, the republican party was just awash with trumpism. that is not the case. it still references a very small portion of rank and file republicans inside the party. and you see that now as more and more, particularly in suburban america, even among white men which was a big part of the support and the base that the president had, some peeling off there. so, the reality of it is the impact of covid more than anything else has put a spotlight on leadership and has put a spotlight on character. and so a lot of folks realize, yeah, it kind of matters who's behind the resolute desk in making big decisions that impact my job, my family, my community, my health. and so it matters. so, for a lot of those republicans, it's just kind of nice to see more and more of them coming out, speaking to that inside/o

i had steve bannon a few weeks saying we have a big surprise.i will roll it out and it will change everything and this thing that will come out and it so stinky that fox news won't run it. now it is here. they bring this guy to the debate yesterday who is supposedly like the killer fact witness who is going to say these emails with true, these text messages are true. it is just like the 2016 debate when bannon brought bill clinton's accusers with him to st. louis. so that is all a big setup for donald trump to go into the debate and tear joe biden limb from limb and prove joe biden is a crook and a criminal and i watched last night and i understood the story better than trump did. he could not -- he was just -- he was just jibbering on stage. and there was literally no one who wasn't already deeply immersed in this radioactive turd that could make hide nor hair. and trump doesn't do any debate prep so it is not like he could land a clean hit without just speaking fox news-ese. all of the sense, what is he talking about, money, i don't know what

we are talking about steve bannon, brad paschal, manafort, roger stone.nd is it as michael cohen says that it is just him? >> well, i think that we know from what we've seen the last four years is that this is a president who keeps his own couns counsel. like a lawyer representing position in trial, he has a fool for a client. and that is really what has played out over time. trump is someone who likes to have a bunch of competing interests and stroivoices jocke for positions, but this is not someone capable of listening to any advice because he is a na narcicisstic and you touthorita person and the reason why we have 220 240ur,000 dead america yes doesn't listen to experts. he just goes out there and spews whatever comes to his adle minded brain and there is carnage everywhere. and every person who would be an adviser has been hoping and wishing that he would take their advice. but instead, because they know that he won't, they are out there just spending his money. this guy went through $1 billion somehow, most of the time not even having an opponent. t

some conspiracy it may well be messy involving steve bannon and rudy giuliani. it came to get to the post. but, putting all that aside, isn't the basic fundamental duty of any journalist on any media organization to at least look at the allegations and if they haven't been denied, on what they say. brian: piers, back up your point a 37 year veteran of a marine, decorated marine was a business partner. before the debate he had a press conference your exemployer cnn didn't even cover it nor did msnbc about the president of the united states' son that implicates him in a deal that says they sat down together and discussed it that has the text message that says never bring up joe's name only face to face. i just want to say it again. doesn't that back up the validity of the story or at least to pursue the story? and doesn't that segue perfectly to your book? >> what it backs up is just my belief, this is no denial about the laptop being hunter's and no denial that these emails are genuine there has been neither of those denials, journalists should have a duty, if th
