bannon came on very late. i went through 17 senators, governors, and i won all the primaries. mr. bannon came on very much later than that. >> it's a lot of public protesting about these other individuals. and to fact check again the statement here will give them musk and his people the approval where appropriate and where not appropriate. we won't. this is a claim that plans and policies are being vetted. we haven't seen much evidence of that. jason. there may be some broad overlap about smaller government. i'll be as fair as possible that that's a general goal. but the specifics, including ones that go to the conflicts of interest in musk's business activities, there doesn't seem to be any such vetting. it seems that he acts first, and then they react to that. >> all right. there is no world in which i can imagine that donald trump would be comfortable with anyone in his administration having access to his finances. right. and if you think about it, elon musk and his cronies have gone in and taken over the t

you know, look at pardoning steve bannon. you know, steve bannon helped him.o he got away with stealing all this money. but you know by by being a pardon. by getting a pardon. he pardoned 1500 january 6th rioters because he too was a january 6th defendant. different kind of charges. so you know, this is what we're going to see throughout the trump presidency, him taking care of his own. he pardoned rob blagojevich, the former governor of michigan of illinois, in guilty in a corruption scheme. this is who he is. and it's the pardons that reveal. >> it. sort of. >> does it send a message also to the people around him that if they do his bidding, even if it's wrong, he can have their. >> back and the supreme court reinforced that message that there is no more accountability for for presidents. the decision in trump v united states said all official actions are off limits. and if you look at trump's pardons, anyone who is a political ally, whether it's the january 6th people or abortion protesters who intimidate people going to get abortion, rod blagojevich, they

but at the same time, people like bannon and bannon himself are behind the idea of what musk should be doing. and that's largely what i'm hearing from trump world. they like it in theory, but in practice, it's getting a little too big. and they're used to one bull in the china shop. they're not used to two. >> that was your point, though, about the idea of the being different was enticing. but is elon musk as opposed to the mandate of trump, as you said, which is going to outweigh which is going to be more productive in the long run to follow the disruptive nature of elon musk or. >> well, donald trump's disruptive by nature. that's how he ran when he announced in 2015 that's how he ran and how he became president. and i would argue that voters were under no illusions. i say this all the time. voters were under no illusions about what he was going to come in and do. he made it very clear to them. so it should not be a surprise to anyone. >> but i don't know. >> that elon musk was going to have access to your child's social security number. >> as well as. >> your that even the trump tea

steve bannon is obviously forgoing a 2 to 3 week trial.ng yourself, what are the advantages here to the manhattan district attorney's office, which was prepared to try this case? well, one of the problems potentially for them is who their witnesses would have been and what the evidence would have come from. this is an investigation that initially started with the department of justice and the southern district of new york. these were charges that were brought against steve bannon during the first trump presidency. president trump then pardoned steve bannon before the manhattan district attorney's office took up similar charges on the same facts. so you have to ask yourself, who would have testified at this trial? and given that the enmity between the federal government and alvin bragg's office is at an all time high, there may have been a calculus that they couldn't have gotten the cooperation that they really needed from federal actors before they went to trial. >> chris. >> lisa rubin, thank you. well, new york city has become the epicen

and steve bannon is actually saying if you really cared about what you were saying, steve bannon all in on trump criticizing elon. here's what he said. >> the one. >> at $1. >> trillion. >> is across the. >> potomac. >> you know, get. >> an. >> uber. >> send a send an army. the visigoths over there before a federal judge tries to shut you down. and let's get into something. we can have some meaningful cuts. >> muslin back, saying, bannon's a great talker, not a great doer. would he get done this week? nothing. okay, but i'm interested, katie. i mean just that that that's out in the open. that's an open warfare. >> right? right. i mean, look, i think that, you know, bannon has taken issue with musk on several occasions. this is not sort of new for him to be launching this kind of this kind of attack. i do think it it calls back to some of the reporting that we published this week, though, around this consternation among trump's inner circle with regards to what musk and doge are actually doing. you know, and then i would also say with regards to elon's response, again, going back to w

six months later, tim bannon was gone from the administration. times elon cover bothers trump? >> i think it could. there's one key difference between bannon and musk as far as their relationship to trump. and i interviewed bannon about on this about two months ago at a at a maga conference in arizona. and, and he acknowledged this off the record and that was that. musk has his own power base, which which is the quarter billion that he spent to help trump the money that he's pledged to support trump loyalists in primaries in 2026, and also his his huge following that he has on his social media account. so getting into a fight with musk is a little bit trickier for trump than getting rid of some of the stooges that he's gotten rid of in the past. i mean, trump has a lot, or musk has a lot more power than corey lewandowski or some other random trump staffer who flew a little too close to the sun and then got fired. so i think it's a trickier situation for him, but i do think it's going to bother him and that that tensions will continue to grow. >>

bannon on the cover of time magazine. his own cover story is steve bannon, the second most powerful man in the world. late night host were joking about bannon being the actual president at the time, and mr. trump did not like that. and he was out of the white house by that summer. now this is a different trump than 2017. he seems to have a less i mean, he's creating chaos, but it seems intentionally so. and there seems to be at least less public infighting at the white house. what do you think? is musk not going to get the bannon treatment? >> it's hard. >> to say. i mean. >> the last time we. >> did. >> a deep dive on elon musk. >> and what we expected for. >> him to do in this. >> administration, it was back. >> in november, soon. >> after. >> the elections. >> and at the time, i. think we and a lot of people were. >> expecting this relationship to be pretty rocky. >> both of. them have. big egos. >> they're used to being. >> in charge. >> they're not used to sharing the. >> limelight with anyone. but i think this relat

between musk and bannon.p, lurching to publicly into the laps and arms of oligarchs and billionaires. >> right. he was somebody that tried to urge the president to remember who voted him into office, and to make sure that he formed an administration that may not reflect it necessarily. and he didn't in the first. and the second administration doesn't necessarily reflect it either, but not to allow elon musk to retain so much power. and i think that that is where, if i may, when you look at project 2025, the 900 page book, right, it wasn't elon musk that wrote it, but it's the book that has been handed to him. and when you go and look at the section that specifically talks about usaid, it's very explicit in project 2025 that usaid should, quote, pilot test, the replacement of civil servants with political appointees through the schedule f executive order that was signed by donald trump on day one. and that's exactly what we have watched take place. usaid, the department of education appears to be next, as well

this marks bannon's second criminal conviction.onths in prison last year for defying a subpoena in the congressional investigation of the january 6th attacks. jd vance used his first major policy speech as vice president to warn against what he called the excessive regulation of artificial intelligence. he made the comments at the ai action summit in paris, where more than 60 countries, including china, signed an agreement to promote responsible ai development, but the united states and the uk were not among those signing. instead, vance told world leaders that a hands-off approach to the new technology is the best way to ensure growth. >> we need international regulatory regimes that fosters the creation of ai technology rather than strangles it. and we need our european friends in particular to look to this new frontier with optimism, rather than trepidation. amna: at that same paris summit, openai boss sam altman dismissed elon musk's offer to buy the chatgpt maker, calling the idea ridiculous. altman added the company is not fo

i mean, he's tangled with trump ally steve bannon, vivek ramaswamy, any idea what that's about? and how do the formal members of trump's administration, including siouxsie wiles, how do they feel about musk's constant presence and direct access to the president? >> well, there are certainly people around trump who find musk to be an irritant, at least, who are jealous of his power and his access, who think he's a johnny come lately, who thinks he's causing, you know, as much trouble as he is, you know, benefit. there's no doubt there are people around trump who feel that way. remember, he trump wasn't even friends with musk until really last summer. musk supported desantis in the primaries. they're not like long term friends. this is a johnny come lately friendship, but it comes with $288 million. that's what musk invested to elect donald trump. and that gets you a lot of, you know, a lot of leeway. and i think trump likes to some extent, a disrupter. but the question is whether he can tolerate somebody who occupies the spotlight as much as elon musk does. we saw this week the p

that's why you've got steve bannon and other people on the right attacking elon musk. steve bannon has said he is a truly evil person who should not be running the us government. so at some point, we've got to wake up beyond party lines for all americans to see what's going on here in this rapidly expanding and accelerating coup. >> very quickly, just before we go, very quickly, the elon musk's doge is now in the medicare and medicaid agency. i will note that pam bondi has ended the fbi effort to combat foreign influence in u.s. politics, maybe allowing bribery to come back and force foreign bribery very, very quickly. congressman, apparently, the security clearance of the former president of united states, joe biden, has now been revoked by donald trump. your very quick response. >> well, you know, trump has his petty grievances and his recriminations and the vengeance that he wants to exact against particular people. but watch elon musk, because what he's doing is taking control of the systems themselves. and so he wants to effectuate a complete transformation in our

i am trying to find -- he was on steve bannon's show, mr. patel claimed he did not have anything to do with the january 6 choir which includes january 6 rioters who violently assaulted police officers. he said he got the idea to record. we took that to the studio and we mastered and digitized it. that is a direct contradiction under oath of his involvement. what difference does it make? the recording? move on. the recording was of a political prisoners who stormed the capitol and assaulted 140 of our best and brightest and most well-trained people to guard us every single day. the capitol police and their d.c. counterparts. some people were trying to lionize the city's effort by these thugs who stormed the capitol and were screaming out to hang vice president pence. i hope we do not fall into a trap of trying to rewrite history of what happened on january 6. it was an atrocious display. the wonderful people who guard us every day in this capitol. there are some people when we went to this hearing the disparaged the very thought these people

this is bannon's second criminal conviction. he was found guilty of contempt of congress for defying a subpoena related to the january 6th riots. he served four months in federal prison for that. and just moments ago, defense secretary pete hegseth spoke to reporters in germany and addressed doge access to the pentagon. cnn's natasha bertrand joins us. what are you learning, natasha? >> well. >> secretary hegseth did speak to reporters just a few minutes ago, and he spoke a little bit about how he has been working with elon musk, and he anticipates that musk is going to be visiting the pentagon in the coming weeks to do much the same that he has done at other agencies in terms of identifying different programs and positions within the department of defense that can be eliminated. and secretary hegseth actually pointed specifically to the climate programs within the pentagon. but overall, he suggested that he is willing to work with elon musk on eliminating certain aspects of the pentagon's budget as long as it does not affect mi

he created this musical undertaking and was proudly proclaiming it to steve bannon, the hard work he went through to master it, digitize it and create musical work that could be played to the trump rallies. when we asked him about it he could not remember any part of it. that kind of evasion betrays the fact that he sighedd with the prisoners when he should have sided with the police and i think that will haunt him. asked him about a fellow named stu peters. i do not know him but he is supposedly a neo-nazi and white supremacist who has a podcast. it turned out mr. patel could not remember stu peter's. he appeared on his podcast on eight different occasions. i have to question whether or not this man is ready to take over the job and guide the men and women who dedicate their lives to the safety of the united states. something has happened since his testimony. the trump administration and their approach to the department of justice. they are in the process of trying to rewrite history. they want january 6 to turn out to be a whitewashed event in history rather than the terrible embar

a lawyer for bannon declined to comment. well, in our national lead, as parts of the u.s.rom back to back winter storms, two new storms are gearing up to bring more snow and icy conditions to the midwest and northeast. nearly 30 million people are under winter weather alerts right now. cnn's derek van dam has the latest in cnn's extreme weather center. derek. >> yeah. phil, buckle up. we've got. >> a one-two punch of winter. storms impacting the. >> eastern third of the country. first storm system, the more immediate threat. let's focus in on what this could potentially bring. this is exact wording from the national weather service out of blacksburg, virginia. the ice storm potential with this could bring down numerous power outages. outages that may last for multiple days, and creating travel that is nearly impossible. and it's all because of this first storm system. as it moves in, it will lay a sheet of ice across this region. heads up roanoke. the spine of the appalachians. and then we see the system depart. but look at how quickly the secondary storm starts to fill in

he created this musical undertaking and was proudly proclaiming it to steve bannon the hard work he went to to master, digitize it, and create a musical work that could be played at the trump rallies when we asked him about it in the committee he couldn't remember any part of t didn't know who the singers were. wasn't sure what i was talking about. that evasion betrays the fact he sided with the prisoners when he should have sided with the police. that i think is something that's going to haunt him as he pursues this position with with the f.b.i. i then asked him about a fellow named stu beaters. i don't know him -- peters. but he is supposedly a neo-nazi, anti-semitic person, political theorist who has some sort of podcast. it turned out that mr. patel couldn't remember stu peters, who would he snb he appeared on his podcast eight different occasions. eight different occasions couldn't remember him when i asked about him. i have to question whether or not this man is really ready to take over this job and guide these men and women who dedicate their lives to the safety of the united sta

so having said that, i do think that in terms of the savings part of it, steve bannon makes a very good point, and it's what jon stewart alluded to in that clip you just showed. steve bannon says unless you cross the potomac and go to the pentagon, where we spend about $1 trillion a year in completely unaccounted for money, you're never going to really save the kind of money that would make a dent in the american debt or the american deficit. but this is the framework that we're starting with that will show how that can be done. >> we're going to get to the pentagon. i want to get to the pentagon. pete hegseth says, come on in. we want to pass an audit. we'll open the books. medicaid, medicare. we know how much fraud there is there. but are you saying the government wants to keep a thousand government employees working in an underground mine, pushing papers without any sunlight? they want them in the mine. they don't want them rescued. >> i think that when you have a ruling class power center that hasn't been challenged for decades, they expect that they will be able to continue to exer

. >> opposed to elon musk. >> and what he's doing. >> bannon has called him a truly evil person, and laura loomer has warned of what they're trying to do in terms of creating a techno state monarch in the new century. obviously, elon musk has much bigger plans than donald trump, who, you know, we know just wants to become the richest person in the world and get all. the attention. >> but elon. >> musk would really like to completely overthrow our system of government and move us into some kind of techno monarchy. under the geniuses of silicon valley. >> i find it fascinating that in all of this, no one's really leveled up. the fact you just touched on it, congressman, that elon musk is a government contractor, right? >> spending billions. >> of dollars, billions of dollars of government on 18 plus individual contracts with the us govt. why why aren't we exposing those people? what's in those contracts? because those is not going to look at those contracts. >> yeah. >> well why doesn't congress say look? okay, mr. musk, we want to call you in and have a conversation about your contrac

bannon has agreed to a conditional discharge and is waiving his right to appeal.eaking this morning, federal appeals court has formally granted the request of the department of justice to drop charges against president trump's co-defendants in his classified documents case. well, nelda and carlos oliveira, we're also following breaking news in the corruption case against new york city mayor eric adams. the justice department has ordered federal prosecutors to drop the charges against the mayor. the mayor was accused of taking $100,000 in free plane tickets and luxury hotel stays from wealthy turkish nationals in at least one turkish government official. the mayor's attorney said in a statement that, quote, despite a lot of fanfare and sensational claims, ultimately there was no evidence presented that he broke any laws ever. nbc's ken dilanian is with us this morning. ken. good morning. the case isn't dismissed yet. so what happens next? >> good morning jose. >> well, main. >> justice in the form of. emil bove, the acting. >> deputy attorney general, has ordered t

steve bannon, in an interview with the new york times and one of the articles today, talked about how surprised he was that republicans have just let donald trump run roughshod over federalism. >> yeah, i think that's exactly right. so many pillars of what we used to think of as kind of core republican ideology have been reversed or simply ignored by donald trump. and certainly the argument that there should be a weak federal power and a strong decentralized state power that has been at the core of what we associate with the modern republican party. interestingly, katie, now, not only do you see many democrats making that argument or leaning into that argument, but i've noticed that in the lawsuits that have greeted some of these executive overreach actions by donald trump at the beginning of his tenure, what you see is essentially two different americas, and you have the democratic attorneys general of states that have democratic leaderships filing lawsuits and as a collective. right. so you had, i think, 22 or 23 democratic attorneys general on the lawsuit against the birthright cit

steve bannon was the president's advisor during trumps. first to well been and hasn't returned to the white house off the he and trump fell out. it would appear. his strategy never left. the us presidents has wasted no time in alienating is big is trading partners, antagonizing allies and be will during critics. we're going to put very serious terrace on mexico and canada because canada they come to canada to and the drugs that are coming through our at record numbers, the headache for the trump administration. sometimes he's old, talk the large, the black, the kind of the launch the back down in mexico, panama. and so he has this deliberate policy, as we know, it's a state of the policy of some of the advisors are coming out to some of the shopping things, but it's almost impossible to, to focus on any of them. oh is off to the state department, announced us vessels would be passing through the panama canal, free the panama canal, or florence. he issued a statement translated here, denying any changes to its fees trumps gamble. in this ca
