steve bannon has gone brazilian? regular steve bannon was bad enough.one wants to see him in a thong. just so you know, my graphics department did create an image of steve bannon in a thong. but... the cbs lawyers told us that broadcasting it would violate the geneva conventions. i would be hauled before the hague. so, how did all these americans teach these brazilians how to insurrect, just like us? well, we've got the answer in the form of a new "late show" sponsor. >> were you inspired by the january 6 rioters but aren't sure how to insurrect in a nonenglish speaking country? well, now you can, with coupolingo, the only app that teaches you how to unsuccessfully overthrow your government in over 70 languages. whether it's spanish. >> cuelgen a mike pence. >> german. >> hangt mike pence! >> chinese. >> or even swedish. >> mike-uh pence-uh. murder, murder, murder. >> we have helped thousands go from hunting speakers. >> where are you, nancy? we're looking for you. >> to language speakers. >> je suis en prison. >> so try coupolingo today. coupolingo, av

it'd be better if you did it. >>> trump vet steve bannon back in kourpt for the first hearing since he them for about half a million. they say he also owes them basically for defending them against criminal charges plus work advocating for him to receive a federal pardon from donald trump, which he did get. today, he had this protester greeting him with a sign that said, quote, hashtag deadbeat. lawyers get your money up front. a little trumpian moment. he has also been accused of other financial shenanigans, defrauding investors over this idea about building a wall at the border. he has pled not guilty to money laundering, conspiracy, and fraud. you can see him walking into court today. >> steve, are you worried about going to prison? >> never. because i ain't going to prison. it's all a sham. >> bannon calling it a sham, although he had his day in court with the feds and was convicted and sentenced to prison for defying the lawful subpoena in the house january 6th probe. he is appealing that. but so far, legally, no judge has agreed that it's a sham. we'll be right back. is strong en

being taken over the mega congress the congress has so far been a spectacle, but newsmax tv or steve bannon spired podcast in the halls and hearing rooms of congress. even after four years with on top of the white house, even many republican members themselves recognize this as a new level of absurdity. kevin mccarthy, the mostly feckless speaker of the house, finally got his first big win yesterday, rallying his caucus to knock democratic congresswoman ilhan omar off the foreign affairs committee. but in the immediate aftermath some republicans in the caucus voted to do it conceded victory was not worth the cost. following the vote house foreign affairs member can block, republican of caroler ottawa,'s were overheard in an elevator calling it the stupidest vote in the world. buck unnaturally said he would not go along with mccarthy's plan to remove o'mara but eventually flipped to a yes vote. back in that elevator fellow republican congressman mike simpson, idaho, rig read with back and added that all it does is make omar a martyr. apparently at some point they relate to others were listen

done and eric and that's only those the only ones i want him taking advice from other than maybe steve bannon if steve can. behave so sorry about that. got a question over here. repeat the questioner. roman goalash the question i have larry is if trump were president. do you think putin would have invaded ukraine? no, not a chance not a chance and but here's another interesting thought question. maybe and i know we're enduring some horrible stuff, and i know what bite me is doing is just terrible. but maybe it's better that trump wasn't in with a lukewarm senate and a lukewarm house. maybe we need to refine these people for another four years so that when they come through the fire, you know the story about gideon in the bible and how he was sent down to fight an army and he had 30,000 men and god said that's too many. you need to get rid of him because they're not committed and he gave them a test. have them go draw water out of the lake and if they lap it up, i forget the story they lap it up. they stay and they put in their hands. they they go i forget that so it gets rid of he gets rid of

he talked to steve bannon because bannon himself was in court that they charged with ripping off gullible republican voters about claims to build a wall, so instead, santos had to talk to bannon's backup posts matt gates, so he laid up the only conditions in which you step down. >> i came here to serve the people, not politicians and party leaders and i will do just that. i was elected by 142,000 people, and until those people tell me they don't want me, we'll find out in two years. >> so desantis that he was setting a high bar that day, essentially saying, look, leave when all 142 dozen people who voted for me say i should leave. well, it's getting close. new polling just found that 78% of voters say he should resign, including 71% of republicans. for those of you doing the math now, 70% of all registered voters in new york's district three months to 449,000 people. -- posts matt gates, so he laid up the only conditions in which you step down. >> i came here to serve the people, not politicians and party leaders and i will do just that. i was elected by 142,000 people, and until those pe

not the cost, not on steve bannon's post podcast. a proposal gone to draft, printed out, put on a website, it would raise the retirement age to 70. nobody made them do that, this is what they want to do. it's rare that a president gets to score actual political points during a state of the union address. that's why biden seems to have found a new favorite attack line. >> they seem shocked when i raised the plans of some of their members, and their caucus to cut social security. marjorie taylor greene and others stood up, said liar, liar! the rick scott's florida, them in the ban the u.s. senate campaign, he has a plan. he says all federal legislation sunsets every five years. if the law is worth keeping, congress can pass it again. social security, medicare, medicaid. >> the man is right. republicans want to admit, or not.

. >> interesting one of those comments was to steve bannon, if you saw there.hat to steve bannon. i said, you know, what made you predict that? he said, have you been watching donald trump? like it was -- he is a guy who doesn't acknowledge ever losing, never concedes defeat, never concedes mistake. it was predictable. >> it's going to be shocking to some people on a different level. i don't know if you remember this, jake. i predicted that, i said donald trump will probably win this -- the election in 2016. look, i lost a lot of liberal friends. got kicked out of parties in brooklyn. >> really? >> oh, my gosh, gentlemen. i said, have you seen the newspaper? the newspapers? he is on every section, on the business section, on the political section, on the real estate section. he is on the front pages. it was just because he knew how to manipulate and use the media and so it's interesting to, you know, see bill maher say, hey, listen, this guy isn't going to leave the white house. the evidence was there but people kind of ignored what's in front of ntheir faces.

this includes the computer repair shop owner, like you said, rudy giuliani, also steve bannon, who of course was a top advisor in trump's white house for several months. a number of other right-wing figures that they say helped distribute all this information, that is reported to be from his laptop. our team has reached out to all the people named in the letters, no response also from the attorney generals office in delaware, also the doj. under biden's legal team, really opening another front of aggression here, just as inquiries from house republicans can also be intensifying. so fighting on many fronts here tonight, anderson. >> i want to go to the white house, to cnn's how mattingly, anyone there? >> officials have long taken the approach of deferring all questions related to hunter biden's legal issues to hunter biden's lawyers, and in part has been a deliberate effort to all of the president, while off the white house from anything legal related to his son. but this is also very sensitive topic, and officials acknowledge that the shift in pasta of seen tonight from hunter biden'

rudy giuliani, steve bannon. they have gotten ahold of information that may have been from hunter biden's laptop. a representative for giuliani said it indicates how devastating the texts and videos from his laptop are. steve bannon was a bit more defiant. he said, i thought biden told us it was all russian disinformation. what is notable here though is the fact that you have hunter biden trying to take this more aggressive stance as he and his team brace for investigations on capitol hill. of course, he is also facing an ongoing federal criminal appropriate into potential tax violations, which he denied. >> yamiche, hunter biden has been an easy target for republicans, for republican critics, talk show hosts. how concerned is the white house about this? how comfortable are they with his more aggressive offense or defense to be more offensive? >> it's a great question. i'm not sure i have the answer. the white house and president biden have been, this is -- he is proud of him but they haven't wanted to delve into

let's be blunt. >> now that is steve bannon's personal attack. we don't have evidence or iq scores from ms. sanders. i'm going to deal with what she said, not that nature of the attack. it does speak to the question for you, jason, was sarah huckabee sanders a good mainstream voice to appeal to independents, moderates and others who might keep an open mind about both sides or looking at that big night? was she a good choice in your view politically? >> no. no. i mean -- and here's the thing. would he had for a long time this belief of, hey, the person who gives the rebuttal to the state of the union, they're the up and coming person in the party. marco rubio worried that with his hamster impression of being thirsty and drinking and not knowing what he was supposed to do. sarah huckabee sanders continues living in the past and think that the rebuttal to the state of the union is going to do something for them. she's probably not going to ascend any higher than the governorship she has now. not that that's a bad thing, but she didn't say anything t

those mentioned are rudy giuliani, steve bannon and john paul mac isaac, the own of that delaware repair shop a representative for giuliani said raising concerns now, after so many years indicates just how devastating the texts and videos from hunter's laptop truly are meanwhile, mr. bannon responded to a request for comment saying, i thought biden told us it was all russian disinformation hunter biden's legal team also sent a separate letter to fox news host tucker carlson the letter demands that carlson issue a retraction of false and defamatory statements made about hunter biden on his show, also threatening him and the network with potential litigation. fox news did not respond to a request for comment by nbc news on wednesday so we'll see if this new approach changes things for hunter biden phillip in. >> hunter biden saga heating up. all right, brie, thank you >>> now to memphis where thousands gathered in a church to celebrate tyre nichols after his 29 years of life were cut short follow ago brutal biteatig by police. >> this is a family that lost their son and their brother throu

hunter biden is asking the justice department to investigate trump allies rudy giuliani, steve bannon and others in connection with personal information taken from his laptop. his lawyer also sent a cease and desist letter to fox news, asking them to retract false claims. it's a shift in strategy for the president's son who's facing a tax evasion probe. some unexpected news about the u. s economy despite talk about a potential recession, companies are actually posting more jobs than expected. meanwhile the federal reserve is raising interest rates again while proving dividing new insight into the pace of inflation. maybe see saikrajang. she is here with more good morning to you, like good morning faith for the eighth time in a row, the federal reserve has decided to raise interest rates decision they say, will keep happening. in order to tame inflation. this morning, the federal reserve, raising its short term borrowing rate by another quarter point, the latest in a string of borrowing cost increases aimed at slowing the economy and easing inflation move that risks tipping the economy

fitton was among a select group of people that included roger stone and steve bannon urging trump tolare victory regardless of the results, the actual legal results, of the 2020 election. now the january 6th select committee cites a memo that fitton wrote for trump in the run-up to election day, i think the summer before the election, as evidence that in the words of committee member zoe love gren friend the big lie was untensional, promeditated and a plan concocted in advance. here's a snippet from the january 6th select committee's final hearing. >> a few days before the election, mr. trump also consulted with one of husband outside advisers inside activist tom fitton about the strategy for election night. the select committee got this pre-prepared statement from the national archives. as you can see, the draft statement, which was sent on october 31st, declares we had an election today and i won, and the fitton memo specifically indicates a plan that only the votes counted by the election day deadline, and there is no election day deadline, would matter. everyone knew the ballot c

he's not going to be like steve bannon who i think foolishly unwisely refused to show up and utterlyght the subpoena. that you cannot do but is preparing to litigate it in court and a jawbone negotiate committee and that is very different. i'm glad you pointed that out because it is similar to what they are doing with this letter to the department of justice. it's all for pr and again, why is he doing it now? we heard a decision will be made soon whether or not to indict hundred biden and that maybe what this is connected to. jon: fascinating to watch this being played. we will have to leave it there. i hope you will come back and give us an update one of these days on the fox report. thanks very much. >> thanks for having me. jon: we will be back with more in just a moment. continuing coverage of breaking news, another unknown aerial object shot out of the sky by u.s. fighter planes, this time over michigan lake huron. u.s. military confirms and now it shot down the aerial object earlier today. lake huron takedown from a third over north america in as many days and the fourth since

need investigations by the federal and state to look into these people like rudy giuliani and steve bannonthe laurels they should have known better than this. how do they say it's not hunter's but it should be looked at because it's very important. it's one or the other. right? if we look at this from a legal standpoint and somebody put something on a computer that's abandoned and it has nothing to do with hunter and it's made up and that gets leaked, is that really against the law? something is completely ban donned and try to get in touch with them and they tonight return the call is it legal to copy what is national security issues and give that to somebody who might do something with it that is -- has connections to the government? what is happening right now is what concerns me with the democrats because you have to remember, ashley, all this has taken place inside the beltway and that is that is owned by the left. they can say ridiculous things we can look back and say how could they each be bringing this up but the left has a way of making things stick at least to the point where th

there's a new broken study out that says steve bannon's podcast is the top misinformation spreader. let's remember, in 2013, steve been likened himself to leonard. he said i'm a leninist. lenin wanted to destroy the state, blow it all up. so do i. i wanna get rid of the establishment. >> yeah. i would put him on par with tucker carlson--'s similar themes. tucker carlson speaks often of revolution, without saying it. just last night, he was talking about, you're not allowed to defend yourself anymore. they're not gonna let you defend yourself. if you try to fight back, you're gonna get like that. they're gonna put you in jail. he just kept repeating it. and then i heard the exact same thing repeated again this morning on fox & friends. if you can't defend yourself. >> the work that you're doing is, obviously, interesting to someone like me. and my audience. that fox news audience. that right wing audience, is that what you're trying to get to? >> i'm trying to get to the friends, families, coworkers, colleagues of people who already deeply entrenched in fox. to prevent them from getti

in 2018, when steve bannon said flood the zone. say what you need to say.book and donald trump is very similar to that. and there are many, many similarities. you know in the documentary we covered, the 1992 police rival. people don't know about it. and this is a precursor in every form of what january 6th would look like. and i think that trump understood that he had an ally in someone willing to go and say, and do things that many others would not. >> rebecca, as we are having this conversation. it really does strike me that giuliani told us many times exactly who he was. so did americans not believe him or did many people just not care? >> i think that is the interesting part of 9/11. when we have this very seminal moment. in our country's history where we have a singular, common enemy. which doesn't necessarily happen in this deeply polarized world. we look to giuliani and largely forgave him for who he was before. and said, we needed someone in our time of need. and i would never take that away from him. nor would many of the people who are harsh criti

rudy giuliani, steve bannon invaded his privacy and his personal property per there's around about the laptop is yours, hunter biden? which is interesting considering all we ever heard for quite some time was that it was russian disinformation for here's a flashback to cvs dogma under biden's laptop. >> you don't know yes or no if the laptop was yours? >> i have no idea. >> acquitted been yours? >> certainly there could be a laptop out that that was stolen from me. there could be i was hacked. there could be it was russian intelligence. it could be that it was stolen from me. rachel: what a liar. pete: not once denied the existence of a nexus close to a denial which is non- denial which is an admission. they pass off as russian disinformation but never said it wasn't his. because from the beginning they knew it was our intelligence agencies knew it was for they knew it was legit. it's odd, joe biden in the middle might attempt to run again hunter biden's trying to go on the offense which as you said, will is an admission it is real. i don't understand what upside comes of it. rachel: i

biden attorney refers to the laptop in letters requesting an investigation into rudy giuliani, steve bannon and mcisaac. he owned the repair shop where hunter took the laptop to be fix. >> i think it is an attorney tactic to try to stop something. the one thing i will say from that he is acknowledging it is his laptop. so he was a little slower than the rest of the papers in twitter and others but now we know it's true. >> democrats think next week's hearing is a waste of time. >> we passed a 1.2 trillion infrastructure act to invest in infrastructure on the congress. we should do oversight to make sure the money is getting out to states, counties and cities. >> most americans don't care about hunter biden's laptop or the art gallery or any of that stuff. >> but here is another wrinkle. the letters are not an admission that the laptop belongs to his client. dana. >> dana: thank you so much. kim strassel of the "wall street journal" writes on fridays. she said hunter claims his laptop that this is about as ill considered as every other hunter move from trading in his family name. what it doe

federal and state prosecutors open up a criminal investigation, get this, into rudy giuliani, steve bannon john paul isaac. but denied their request confirms the laptop from hell is really their hellish laptop. instead, his lawyer tells fox news that the request, quote: addressed the conduct of seeking manipulating and deselmating what they allege to be biden's personal data, whatever they claim to have gotten it and however they claimed to have gotten it. let's bring in sohrab ahmari. they are pretending as if they didn't just commit what we knew all along that it was his laptop. what about this strategy? did it blow up in their face in real time? >> well, brian, hunter biden is a renaissance man, a man of many talents, he's a great parent. some would say he is the picasso of our time. is he an expert in ukrainian energy affairs even though he doesn't speak any of the relevant languages and doesn't know anything about natural gas but he is an expert. but where he comes up short apparently is in legal -- basic legal theory and jurisprudence that i guess we found his shortcoming because thi

>> yeah, and it is a little surprising because even figures on the far right like steve bannon have saidoughout yesterday that republicans, republican operatives, have been saying that this was at the very best a poorly crafted statement and at worse nonsensical. but it falls in line with marjorie taylor greene always sort of catering to people who want to take extreme and outlandish measures. so i think that that is what we're seeing here. >> i think that is her reputation in washington for sure. daniel strauss, thank you so much. again, that putin speech is still happening so we'll continue to monitor that. >>> meantime, to michigan where republicans have chosen an election denier to lead their party. she will be the next chair of the michigan republican party. she lost last year's secretary of state race and she has not conceded. she is a former community college professor and falsely claimed donald trump won michigan in the 2020 election and she also spread the conspiracy theory that left wing anarchists were behind the capitol insurrection on january 6. >>> this morning the supreme

around -- see you later: biden's laurers are demanding a criminal investigation into rudy giuliani, steve bannonfirms the laptop from hell is really hunter's. address their conduct of seeking, manipulating and disseminating what they allege to be mr. biden's personal data wherever today claim to have gotten it. let's bring in new york post reporter john sleep. john -- jon levine. help me understand the filing here. on one hand, you violated his potential property. on the other, it's not really his. >> it's pat patently ridiculous. they're trying to have their cake and eat it too. on the one hand, they want to make the case that hunter's personal front was violated. you know what in let them make that case, but then they can't also engage in the charade that they are continuing to engage in that, well, maybe the hard drive isn't real, maybe it's not really hunter's. maybe it could be russian, who knows? you can't have it both ways. if they're really serious about this, they need to put their cards on the table and say, yes, it's hunter's, he should have picked it up, he didn't, it was dumb. but w

they call for federal and state prosecutors to open a criminal investigation into rudy giuliani, steve bannon and laptop shop repair man mac isaac. >> well, i think that what it feels like is hunter's legal team needed to run something by the white house and now they are forced to back pedal. this whole thing wreaks of retaliation but it also looks like it is going off half cocked. >> dana: let's understand what that retaliation might be. mark meredith has the later from the white house. >> a busy morning as you can imagine. later today the president and vice president will be heading up to philly giving remarks about the economy and as bill mentioned off the top of the show reason to celebrate. the latest job report showing 517,000 jobs added last month. unemployment rate still at 3.4%. economy top of mind as the white house conditions its next steps for a possible re-election campaign. polling shows there is an uphill climb going to 2024. registered voters how they would rank the president's job performance so far. 54% disapproved of the president's job performance. the numbers haven't shif

because remember, steve bannon was convicted and sentenced to four months in jail for defying a subpoenarom the january 6th committee. peter navarro was arrested and put in leg irons in a jail cell again for ignoring a subpoena. so now james comer is saying he's going to subpoena hunter biden and perhaps his art dealer, so let's see how tough they are going to be, and if they are going to match the january 6th committee. >> john: not quite sure they have made a final decision on that yet, they say they may have to as a last resort. one of the big questions, inflated prices, who would buy hunter biden's art in the first place. michigan congresswoman lisa mcclain said hunter biden's artwork is not worthy of hanging on the walls of a foreclosed motel. why would anyone buy it? the answer is simple, curry favor with the corrupt son of the president. portrayed by democrats as a witch hunt by hunter biden, but does it not behoove the oversight committee to at least look into it. >> i don't think the paintings are that bad, and maybe there are people who want to buy them for reasons, aesthetic,

that includes a computer repair shop owner, rudy giuliani, steve bannon and fox news.et's bring in evan perez and elie honig. good to see you both. elie has a new book out "untouchable: how powerful people get away with it" i can't wait to read it. evan, what exactly is hunter biden doing here with the shift in strategy? >> reporter: good morning. he's trying to turn the tables on these right wing figures who have really made him a target for the last couple of years, the last four years or so. trying to use some of the contents of this laptop that purportedly he dropped off back in 2019 at this computer repair shop in delaware to essentially use that as an attack -- as a vehicle to attack his father, president biden. he's asking for state and federal officials to launch investigation for not only computer crimes but also for basically violating his privacy. so what we are hearing, though, from his attorney, abbey lowell is a full frontal on all of the figures including this computer repairman as well as rudy giuliani and others. i'll read you a part of what abbey lowe

you know these names, rudy giuliani, steve bannon, for what they allege as trafficking in stolen informationing data possibly from his laptop and an effort to weaponize the contents from that laptop against president biden. now, the laptop you may remember was at the center of a series of salacious, and frankly, damaging media stories about the president's son. a lot of them before the 2020 election, including alleged e-mails related to his business dealings overseas. and republicans have really tried to seize on this, alleging hunter biden has tried to profit off of his father's political career for his part, president biden has denied knowledge of his son's business dealings. now, a representative for giuliani, we reached out to him, told nbc news, raising concerns now indicates just how devastating the texts and videos from hunter's laptop truly are a really defiant steve bannon said, i thought biden told us it was all russian disinformation we did reach out to the justice department, as well, craig they have not responded to our request for comment. and hunter biden has previously denied

we have text messages from steve bannon of all people to maria bartiromo.not just internal text messages between the talent, you got steve bannon who we know was one of the primary architects of not only the creation of donald trump but the presidency as well as the insurrection and he says, 71 million voters will never accept biden. this process is to destroy his presidency before it starts. we either close on trump's victory or delegitimize biden, the plan. there was a plan. it was a grand scheme to defraud and they defrauded american viewers but they didn't defraud american voters because biden won and trump lost. >> wow. nick confessore, dave folkenflik, you were two of the first people we thought of to talk to. thank you for making so much time for us. katie and basil, stick around. we remember when the ex-president called on a right wing militia group to stand by. well now the same group is calling on donald trump, the latest in the proud boys' seditious conspiracy trial is next. i've got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi. ♪thi
