that directly parallels with steve bannon did.non is a crack pot who spent years spouting pseudo-historical theories about how the world works, in order to make people who support him, and his movement, believe he was in the political vanguard, and then he turned around, and new small dollar donations who scam people that funds are being used to, presumably, build a wall. to the tune of $15 million. we now know that the state of trump's save america pack as being investigated for a very similar pattern of behavior, that you are seeing in bannon's case. the long arm of the law is, now, reaching around to hold them accountable, publicly. i think, as andrew said, these are rock crusher charges. i don't see wiggle room where they get out of this. there is a lot of people, in trump land via, who get away with this. >> with quick sentencing before we go, let's take ban and gets one year for his criminal contempt of congress, that is eight months, maybe, with good behavior, something like that. then, let's say he, gets a few years, he ge

i will read to those who are not familiar, steve bannon statement of defiance.r being swatted three different times by deranged thugs from new york city inspired by the biden administration, to assassinate me, by police. the soros backed da, calvin brag, has now decided to pursue phony charges against me 60 days before the midterm election because war room -- that would be his podcast -- is the major source of the maga grassroots movement. they are coming after all of us, not only president trump and myself. i'm never going to stop fighting. in fact, i have not yet begun to fight. they will have to kill me first. here is what i don't get. he is willingly turning himself in, barb. how does this all square? they will have to kill me first, i have not begun to fight. but it appears that he is cooperating with prosecution. >> yeah. it seems that, so often with bullies, the bark is worse than the bite. although i really am concerned about, they will have to kill me first rhetoric. because it can tend to inflame people who listen to this. people will believe this. the

the whole thing was so successful that former trump white house chief strategist steve bannon got involved a bright idea that they shouldn't just raise money to put into federal coffers to build the wall, but that they should build the wall themselves kind of like that pesky government middleman. all in all, the group weighs more than $25 million from thousands of donors. but when it came time to actually build the wall, the operation wasn't exactly a well oiled machine. this is the first wall they built. it isn't sunlen park. when of the major problems with this wall is that it is just over half a mile along. so, you could always walk, like five minutes to get around it. the second floor is that the wall itself was comically scalable. this is a video of an eight -year-old girl climbing a replica of it in about one minute. if that were not enough it turns out that they built this wall too close to a federal monument, which meant that they were forced to build a gate in the center of the wall and keep it open all day long, every day. then there was wall number two, the group's final wall. t

>> still more legal problems for steve bannon, don. and of the sounds familiar to people, steve bannon tried with fraud over the scheme to raise funds over this quote, we build the wall group, and then pocketing. it it should feel familiar, because he was already indicted for it by the department of justice, by my old office, the southern district of new york, back in 2020. but what happened was, before that went to trial, donald trump in his final hours an office, pardon steve bannon. but interestingly, not the other three defendants who are charged in that scheme, two of whom who have now been convicted. now, we are seeing a state level prosecutor, the manhattan da, bring these charges based on the same conduct. of, course a presidential pardon has no impact on a state level. charge and if people are wondering there is no double no double jeopardy problem, here because you are allowed to charge somebody with the exact same conduct in the federal system, and the state systems. the supreme court just reaffirmed that a few years ago. an

we will talk about steve bannon in a second. the new detail from "the washington post" more detail in these highly classified documents picked up at mar-a-lago, david, i wanted to ask you about that first. there is a list of known and suspected nuclear nations, of course, nine of them. which country could this be? about? >> there are nine known nuclear weapon states and iran, which are seeking nuclear weapons, believe. the iranians deny that but certainly putting together the material for that. seems unlikely that the president would have documents about allies that have nuclear weapon, britain, france, israeli, strikes me as the most most likely or not the only possibility would be iran and north korea. we know he held on to some of his letters from kim jong-un, the so-called love letters back and forth on the summit. president trump was very determined to make the case that he had succeeded with north korea, even though they didn't give up a single weapon during his time, which was, of course, the goal. and he was very determi

donald trump granted clemency to during his firing hours in office, -- one-time campaign chairman, steve bannonnon was arrested by federal agents back in the summer of 2020, accusing of defrauding trump supporters. these are die hard trump loving donors, defrauding them out of millions of dollars. donors believe they were getting money towards the construction of a wall along the mexican border to fulfill the promise that trump had not. the money didn't do that. but then trump came along, a stroke of a pan as he is in power to do, but the u.s. constitution clearing the way for bannon. -- he sponsor of trump's attempted coup. doing that while trump was preparing to -- bennett made that can lieber jeopardy before the same crime. this time under a state indictment, new york state, by the manhattan district attorney. according to the washington post, quote, the precise details of the state case could not be confirmed, but people familiar with the situation suggests that the prosecution will likely mirror aspects of the federal case in which he was pardoned. in a statement, history attorney -- i hav

>> steve bannon should be very concerned.al government brought against him. i should say somewhat different, because the federal government brought them under federal statutes another brought under state statutes. but, even in the indictment, it lays out an excruciating detail, you see those two felony counts. money laundering, conspiracy. conspiracy, by the way, in my opinion, relatively easy to demonstrate. and it is a harsh criminal law. because of the federal and state level, it allows for colourization of all the acts that were done, even if bannon himself didn't do it, if they are part of the overall conspiracy. >> also, we're talk about some of the money that we saw late at night and i just played, specifically the million on is paid to mark meadows, his charitable foundation. when you're looking at him talking about the investigation into the save america pack, should meadows and others that were paid out also, now, be worried? >> they should be weighed, because the next question is, what was the money? what is its pu

steve bannon is back in the headlines and could find himself in a courtroom.e washington post" is reporting the former trump white house strategist is facing a new york state indictment less than two months after being convicted in federal court on contempt of congress charges. kristin welker joins me from our perch on the north lawn. walk us through what more we know about this indictment and what you are hearing from steve bannon himself in reaction. >> reporter: you are right. we are hearing according to "the washington post," steve bannon, former president trump's top advisor, will turn himself in to new york authorities on thursday to face that indictment. we don't know what that is about. last year, he was indicted along with three other people on federal charges of fraud. essentially, that indictment accused him of defrauding people out of $25 million for a build the wall effort. that was a key campaign promise of former president trump. former president trump pardoned steve bannon. pardons do not apply to state charges. they only apply at the federal l

>> first of all, i just want to refute something that steve bannon said.eople were trying to shut him up. nobody is trying to shut him up. he will be entitled to visitation hours. i'm sure he can read lots of books and write lots of things down while he is behind bars because, ari, we are now prosecuting bannon for a crime that he has already been charged with and pardoned for, right? so we already know that he's in significant legal jeopardy here, such that the former president decided to pardon his henchman. here's the thing and here's where we're going to talk about one of my favorite subjects, double jeopardy. double jeopardy is the rule that you cannot be prosecuted for the same thing price. that is expansive enough. you cannot be prosecuted twice for the same criminal activities, the same suites of acts. i as a liberal person, i'll put that out there, i like double jeopardy. i don't like the government being able to go after a person again and again and again and again and again. here's the thing. donald trump pardoned steve bannon before his case ev

what do you think happens to steve bannon? >> yeah. i mean, it's totally trumpy. bannon and the other guy is left hanging out to dry with federal crimes, but look, hat's off to all of the legal pundits for the last four years that people can be prosecuted for state crimes and steve bannon is finding the hard way today, and we're not sure what the indictment says and the report says it is related to the claims about the build the wall and one of the allegations in the federal indictment is that bannon said he wasn't going to take a salary and wound up taking a million. dollars. it's hard to know how serious the indictment was for bannon because we don't have the actual language of it, but any indictment is scary particularly when you don't have your guy in the white house to pardon you. for once, bannon may face the consequences of his actions and donald trump retains not only executive privilege, but also the pardon power, miraculously or something and even that wouldn't help because he has state charges and not federal. bottom line is that bannon is facing serious
