this trump case not only handled the trump business fraud case and not only currently handage the steve bannon fraud case, this judge also has the perfect rÉsumÉ for this case in particular because before he became a judge you know what his previous job was his previous job before he became a judge was working as an auditor at a real estate development firm it is believed the charges against trump are about falsification of business records at trump's real estate development firm it is a little bit on the nose that falsification of business records at a real estate development firm is a case that's going to be heard before a judge who used to audit business records at a real estate development firm, but that's the way this thing is going. that's the way this month is going for donald trump it's like this case was put together in a lab. there's a lot going on yes, that arraignment and arrest of the former president will happen tomorrow in new york. simultaneously for what it's worth finland will also be joining nato tomorrow. which means if russia invaded ukraine as some sort of message vladimi

pfizer steve bannon longer he stays in this the more his message gets out, it's going to resonate.ennedy denounced any coordination with allies of the former president, saying, i have never discussed a presidential run with mr bannon. kennedy lives in los angeles, but chose the families one time citadel of power to make his announcement visitors to the kennedy presidential library in boston were not moved. i can't stomach the anti vaccine thing. the kennedy name isn't enough. for his part, kennedy wrapped himself in the legacy of his family tree by doing so, taking great liberty with historical comparisons. we need to bring this already back to the party of fdr, jfk of rfk, martin luther king and those values in many ways, i have spent my lifetime preparing for this office president biden in the white house, declining to offer a comment about this new challenge in the democratic presidential race. of course, it was robert kennedy jr himself, who said that he has a long personal relationship with president biden. and of course so many kennedys are members of the biden administration

that judge is the same judge overseeing the steve bannon criminal fraud case. that is also the same judge who just oversaw the trump business criminal fraud case. the trump organization criminal fraud cases which ended with convictions on all counts. the judge having a hand in both those things is a good reminder that trump's indictment doesn't come out of the blue his accountant is a not could viktd felon who right now is in prison his campaign chairman is a convicted felon. his deputy campaign chairman is a convicted felon. his longest serving adviceor is a convicted felon. his adviser is under felony indictment his national security adviser is a convicted felon. his personal lawyer is a convicted felon who went to federal prison for the crime that trump is about to be finally charged about tomorrow it is not like this came out of the blue and while we're on the subject of this judge, you should know the judge who is handling this trump case not only handled the trump business fraud case and the steve bannon fraud case. this judge has the perfect resume for t

steve bannon. bannon says go in there and, you know, stir things up. >> steve: with the ticket. >> brian: i'm not sure. >> ainsley: vote for him? >> brian: no. telling him to run to create harvick on the left. >> steve: take democrats away from joe biden. >> brian: makes him more amazing. someone nikki haley working so hard raise so much money single digits, mike pence a presumed candidate and others r.f.k. a well-known name not a well-known politician. jumps in and got 14% already. that has got to be disturbing to the biden camp. >> ainsley: he tweeted this out. he said give me 'a sword. i need an army and it can't be just the party. i need democrats, republicans and independence. and then he got the endorsement aaron rodgers his response on twitter he tweeted out an emoji of a sword. >> steve: there you go. >> ainsley: a dot and a sword. do you think that was an accident? >> steve: you used to think you had to put a period before something. i think they changed that. meanwhile on the republican s

there's no expectation that, for instance, the ex president will be handcuffed like you se steve bannon here. he will be fingerprinted and right now it's unclear if mugshot will be taken. efforts are underway to secure the area head of the expecte arraignment. we know the courthouse will be secure with magnetometer, is with metal detectors, the same devices we now know trump trie to get removed from his ellips rally on january six of course, this is, as you know, donald trump we are talkin about. the indicted ex president ca be, well, a volatile man he is not exactly known fo either rational behavior o compliance i suppose there's always a chance he just doesn't show up on tuesday although we've no indication a of now that would be the case. were he to decide to basically go scoff law to stay in florida, his likely political rival republican governor ro desantis, who trump recently smeared as a groomer, meanin that he was trying to groo underage children to have se with them, that guy, ron desantis - who trump alleged was that - i said he will not assist in the ex presidents extradition

fe left-wing founding things, but he is backed by former trump advisor and far-right organize steve bannon kennedy t run for months, believing he could be both a useful chaos agent in the 2024 race in a bi name we could help stoke ant vaccine sentiment around the country. a chaos agent. in fact, kennedy met with then president elect trump in january 2017 to discuss a jo in the trump administration. he even accepted a - vaccine safety task force fo trump, which thankfully neve got off the ground kennedy hasn't hidden hi far-right ties as the nd reported - short kennedy backstage at a july 2021 reawaken america event with former presiden trump's ally roger stone former national security adviser michael flynn an anti-vaccine profiteer charlen bollinger. all three have promoted the li about the 2020 election bein stolen so, forgive me if my don't buy kennedys left-wing credentials and i'm not surprised that i went on tucker carlson's white our hour on fox to promote his presidential bid lastly, rfk junior may have th support of steve bannon, but h doesn't have the support of hi own family, of

pfizer steve bannon longer he stays in this the more his message gets out, it's gonna resonate.ennedy denounced any coordination with allies of the former president, saying, i have never discussed a presidential run with mr bannon. kennedy lives in los angeles, but chose the families one time citadel of power to make his announcement visitors to the kennedy presidential library in boston were not moved. can't stomach the anti vaccine thing? the kennedy name? isn't enough. for his part, kennedy wrapped himself in the legacy of his family tree by doing so, taking great liberty with historical comparisons. we need to bring this already back to the party of fdr, jfk of rfk, martin luther gang and those values in many ways, i have spent my lifetime preparing for this office president biden in the white house, declining to offer a comment about this new challenge in the democratic presidential race. of course, it was robert kennedy jr himself, who said that he has a long personal relationship with president biden. and, of course so many kennedys are members of the biden administration

people like steve bannon are somehow thinking that this could help them.examples of him sounding just like tucker carlson. here are a few. >> there are so many americans who believe that our democracy is broken, that the system is rigged against them. >> on many levels, the system was rigged against one candidate and in favor of another. >> if those are objectives to have regime change and exhaust the russians, that is completely antithetical to a humanitarian mission. >> we know now that the war in ukraine is not about helping the people in ukraine. the war in ukraine is designed to cause regime change in moscow. >> i mean, these are big topics, the echo is extremely clear. >> yeah, look. i think that there are people in both parties who have concerns about us getting over our skis with russia, with there being a nuclear war, that kind of stuff. so i don't think that anybody raising a concern or a question should be lumped in with a tucker carlson who's clearly a putin apologist. but i think if you have the last name kennedy, you've got to be careful beca

overseeing hi case he should know that that judge is also the same judge who's overseeing the steve bannon in criminal fraud case. that is also the same judge wh just oversaw the trump busines criminal fraud case. trump organization crimina fraud case which ended a few months ago was convictions o all counts the judge having a hand in bot of those things is a goo reminder that trump' indictment doesn't exactly com out of the blue here his business was just convicte on multiple felony fraud counts his accountant is a convicte felon who right now is i prison his campaign chairman is convicted felon. his deputy campaign chairman i a convicted felon. his longest term political and advisor is a felon his ceo and -- before the same judge that trump is about to get a rain before his national can - his personal lawyer is a convicted felon who in fac went to federal prison for the criminal scheme that we believ trump him self is about to finally be charged for tomorrow it's all like this came out of the blue and while we're on the subject of this judge, you should know that the judge who's going t

yeah steve bannon. you're right. donald trump's former senior strategist .he was saying that if kennedy was running in the republican primary, he'd probably be third in the polls in the republican primary with trump and desantis . i don't know if that's the kind of endorsement he was looking for. you noted some of his siblings, john, i would just also note his cousin caroline kennedy is serving as a biden ambassador, as is his aunt. vicki kennedy take kennedy's widow is serving as an ambassador in this administration and joe kennedy. the third was we just saw went over to ireland with with president biden so and he's part of he's in a special envoy for the biden ministrations. so there are a lot of biden supporters, many more so in the kennedy clan. then there are robert kennedy jr supporters actually watching some of the announcement video that they put together here. he's really leaning in to the kennedy family. serie here with video of his father video of his uncle who was of course, president pretty interesting to see this. alright let's talk about the r

steve bannon, cfo of trump organization, alan berg berg. and you know they're both handcuffed and they're both in custody. donald trump will not be in handcuff. he's going to be with the da's investigator who is basically the arresting officer. um, but the secret service detail said as long as we have them under our protection would rather not have him handcuffed in case we have to move them quickly or some threat emerges. makes total sense. thank you very much for all of that information. let's go back to jason. so jason. also congresswoman marjorie taylor greene says she'll be protesting in new york tomorrow. is that relevant for police? well absolutely. i mean, this is something that police will be police will be keeping an eye on that protest expected to happen downtown at the courthouse again in terms of protesters, though we haven't seen any large scale protests, and so all of this indictment has has been going on has been going has been happening. even just being out here, alison. we've seen a couple of people come by every now and t

steve bannon, cfo of trump organization, berg berg.nd you know they're both handcuffed and they're both in custody. donald trump will not be in handcuffed. he's going to be with the da's investigator who is basically the arresting officer. um, but the secret service detail said as long as we have them under our protection would rather not have him handcuffed in case we have to move them quickly or some threat emerges. makes total sense. thank you very much for all of that information. let's go back to jason. so jason. also, congresswoman marjorie taylor greene says she'll be protesting in new york tomorrow. is that relevant for police? well absolutely. i mean, this is something that police will be police will be keeping an eye on that protest expected to happen downtown at the courthouse again in terms of protesters, though we haven't seen any large scale protests, since all of this indictment has has been going on has been going has been happening. even just being out here, alison. we've seen a couple of people come by every now and t

room he will walk we expect before the cameras at that time, just like steve bannon did last year, just like trump's former chief financial officer, alan weisberg, also did in that same courtroom. all in that same hallway. trump's campaign today was busy. they sent out more than a dozen fundraising emails. they say these have been working . in fact, they say that they've raised $7 million since trump was indicted. alright our team of reporters are standing by with the latest developments in these hours before trump's formal arraignment. i want to begin with kara scannell because she's outfront live in new york outside that courthouse and carol, we know the president obviously is in manhattan and huddling with his advisers. what more you learning about what's to come tonight and tomorrow? well erin, as you said, we're still waiting for the judge to rule on two motions by the media . cnn and other news organizations have asked for there to be cameras in the courtroom, saying that given the huge public interest in this the historical nature of it and then like just the moment monumental mo

he's overseen the criminal fraud case involving steve bannon, the former trump advisor. the kind of judge, do you think, who would allow this to become a spectacle? would he allow cameras to go into the courtroom? >> his reputation is sterling. known as by the book. high reputation from folks that i know who have appeared before him with clients. on either side of issues. this is a true professional. we don't know what the decision yet will be on cameras. they're not required. trump right now doesn't want cameras in the courtroom. for once he doesn't want to be a complete center of attention, at least in this one regard. because it could reflect poorly on him. but what we do know is that a lot of this trial is also going to play out in public eye. we've seen thisccurring already. on some of the criticism. some of which i think are justified on the charge itself. and whether or not this would have been brought up if it was someone else. but we still need to find out what crime does donald trump -- is donald trump charged with and did he commit it or is not? that's what we

and in other words, in my view ,if he doesn't comply, he wha needs to get the steve bannon treatment. ed we know what they did to steve y bannon. he was arrested. he was arraigned anyway. either way, alvin bragg seems awfully nervous in a statement accused jim jordan of trying to intimidate him and infringeyk on new york sovereignty. >> here with reaction, the author of trial of the century coming out soon, fox news legal analyst greg gerardus in studio, author of the new bestseller get trump. harvard law professor alan dershowitz. good to professor. congratulations. excuse me.ike i thought congressional oversight wa is made just for things like this. >> am i wrong? constdu oh, absolutely. and ittyent in is a constitutioy inherent in our constitution. >> pomerantz writes this book amazingly openly admitting that they targeted donald trump because of his politics and heea vented openly how much he hatedt donald trump.se and he had to be, quote unquote, stopped because he the writes this. >> trump posed a real danger to the country and the ideals ws that mattered to me. >> in other word

the steve bannon 1.0, he was the one who was shameless, so even in his life just went up.e president. it was a true patriotic zealot. >> stephen: didn't he prove his loyalty? >> justin: he had wacky things where he would prove his loyalty by holding his hand over a flame of a candle famously, but conquering his own fears, he was afraid of rats, so he killed a rat and ate it. he was afraid of thunderstorms, so he would lash himself to a top of a tree in a thunderstorm. >> woody: he was hungry. >> justin: but yes, he was a bit of a whack job. actually said in this chair at one point a long time ago. >> stephen: g gordon liddy did? >> justin: not in this chair. >> stephen: he would not be in the first chair. [laughter] we have some footage of the two of you together. it is both of you and you seem upset about something. and -- he is probably one of the most competitive people. so we would get into brotherly pranks coming you will walk down the hallway and be like i'll race you to the door. that kind of [bleep]. or yesterday were doing something where we were doing a junket du

president, instead so i think you will see th right rally in his defense very much, i think you saw o steve bannon's podcast thi morning, and the other mag media world, they will jus like they did after the 2020 elections, see this ha potential opportunity for a ne maga media outlet to emerge, whether that is reelecting the voice for bands, or newsmax, for the others >> let's stay on, that because historically, fox does not really lose viewers when the part ways with big hosts you think they will, but the just keep on trucking. their viewers lock in and stay is there any reason to believe tucker carlson is different? i mean, he founded daily caller >> i think this is going to be a real test of influence on th right. and so, you are absolutely right, after below riley, afte glenn back, there was a sens that we'll fox news face som sort of existential crisis and the answer is always know. the institution is bigger than the on air - >> but there wasn't a newsmax, or an away threat back then? >> there also wasn't the event of november, 2020, and the fea that took over instead of fo news this sense that

hunter biden and how there is a conspiracy to post these online and they point to a podcast with steve bannonhe records through jpmorgan. and they say that zeigler is a primary focus of the biden team, and they filed a lawsuit against him saying that he was harassing members of the legal team. we have reached out to zeigler's attorney, and we have not gotten a response. the other response is for a ethics review to marjorie taylor greene about statements about the president's son, and the personal issues with the addiction and the personal life have spilled is over into possible legal action and different investigations and litigation, but they have alleged that the comments she has made in public amount to defamatory statements and conspiracy theories and they say it sounds and reads like schoolyard insults rather than the work of a member of congress. the white house cannot comment on this and the congresswoman's office has not returned our request for comment. >> paula, a meeting expected with the doj this week, and what is expected to happen there. >> yeah. sara, we broke this news friday

was convinced to run by trump's former campaign manager steve bannon, who believes he will be a useful chaos agent in the 2024 race. fox news announced monday the cable network and it's far right primetime host tucker carlson "agreed to part ways." his departure was effective immediately. interim presenters are replacing carlsson who was not commented about the reasons for his firing. the surprise departure of the top-rated host comes after text messages from carlsson were revealed in a dominion voting systems lawsuit against fox news for airing full claims of a stolen election that was just settled last week for over three quarters of a billion dollars. later in the broadcast, we will look at how tucker carlson has been a singular force driving fox news' extremism. don limit has been fired, ending a 17 year tenure at the network most of lemon was accused of sexism after he recently said 51-year-old republican presidential hopeful nikki haley was past her prime and variety reported earlier this month lemon had history of mocking female staffers at cnn. in atlanta, georgia, fulton count

officials themselves >> are any of the machines -- i know i was on war room the other day with steve bannon. have any of the machines been looked at he had said that one was looked at it in georgia. >> i've have to check on that in terms of georgia i know during the audit they did check on those machines. they're really -- can we go off-the-record for one second here >> yeah. i don't want us to say it if it's not -- >> i would -- i think they have looked at the machines when the secretary of state did his audit there was a lot -- i think a fair bit of looking at the machines you know, the audit came in pretty darn close with the machine count loss, with the receipts so i don't know the outcome of those, but our understanding again from the secretary state's office is there weren't any physical issues with machines on those inspections. >> again, that was on december 5, 2020. trump campaign officials saying there weren't any physical issues with dominion voting machines there's a fair bit of looking at those machines, but all the figures were pretty darn close to what they were supposed to b

you have to keep in mind he is damaged by the fact that people like steve bannon said he is the candidatethink that's going to hurt him, too, with the democratic vote. >> bret: okay, morgan, i want it turn topics and what also may hurt president biden in some way, shape, orout tonight. there's a letter written by his lawyer. and it's about the irs. and this is an irs whistleblower. the protected disclosures, this is what he will testify to, will contradict sworn testimony to congress by a senior political appointee involve failure to mitigate clear conflicts of interest in the ultimate disposition of the case and the three detailed examples of preferential treatment in politics properly affecting decisions and protocols normally be followed by career law enforcement procialts in similar circumstances if the subject were not politically connected. essentially in not so many words this person is saying from the inside that this investigation into hunter biden's business dealings is not being handled the right way by the biden administration. >> you know, bret, it feels like since 2016 all o

steve bannon wrote a book on donald trump where he disclosed lots and lots of things.gressional committee, he had laryngitis. he didn't talk. so chairman jordan is on much thicker, much thinger land with pomeranz. you can ask him about the book that you wrote. here's the challenge. i know chairman jordan. i worked with him. i think the world of him as a person and as a member of congress. the power to subpoena is only as good as the power to enforce that subpoena. so you may can make pomeranz come but you can't make him talk. that is up to the u.s. attorney for the district of columbia. if you want to go to the contempt route and say these are legitimate questions, you didn't abs them. we're holding you in contempt that is enforced by joe biden's u.s. attorney in the direct of columbia. so it's not going to go anywhere. there's lance of inquiry. why a member of congress would have questions for a state d.a. i can think of a half dozen right now, a state d.a. is not going to answer a member of congressist questions about an ongoing prosecution. i don't think a judge wil

to quote steve bannon you can flood the zone with b.s. fake images can spread rapidly which has the inverse effect of degrading real images and real audio which now has to compete with those fake images can i be dismissed as fakes themselves. the rnc said this was yea generated. the question is, though, will the next one? >> will the next one and the next one, no doubt. john sarlin, thank you. boris? >>> in sudan right now a three-day cease-fire is shaking. there have been reports of gunfire and fighter jets have been seen around the capital of khartoum. each side says the other is to blame for breaking the truce. at least 460 people have been killed in clashes and thousands have been injured as demonstrators take to the streets to protest the violence, some sudanese say the desperation is starting oo set in as food and fresh-water is running out. we're also seeing pictures of rescued u.s. diplomatic staff arriving at the u.s. base in juputy. that's where we find cnn's sam kylie live for us. sam, the u.s. is sending two warships to port s

to remind everyone, he was a late entry into the public debate the this is someone that is a steve bannonving special information you about. he is clearly on their side. i say this to everybody. mr. costello is invited on the program. he is welcome to come on unlike you, unlike the trump lawyers, he has not aveiled himself to any cross-examination. there is an old saying, i don't say it lightly he was trying to do you dirty. do you think and he was trying to take what he -- any lawyer would know would be at a minimum privilege or professional grievance if you believe him it was supposed to be that. a and/or impugn you for any mental state or stress you were under among other things i mention that about the fog i ask you this, though, not citing mr. costello, but if donald trump's lawyers get you on the stand and then cross-examination and i'm curious since you're here. they say look what this man put you through. and then separate you from your family and then you end up behind bars. and you would be understandably upset with him and you have spoken out at times about why you were upset w

former co allen weisberg serving a five month prison sentence and the judge involved until the steve bannonase right now. the judge did not impose a gag order but said not to insight violence while speaking or posting on line. former president trump pleaded not guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business in the first degree. judge merchan allowed pictures taken of the former president trump in the courtroom but no video cameras. he posted on truth social the highly partisan judge and his family are well known trump haters. it was an unfair disaster on a previous trump related case, wouldn't recuse, gave horrible jury instructions and impossible to deal with during the witch hunt trial. his daughter worked for kamala and now the biden-harris campaign. kangaroo court. here's trump's lawyer joe tacopina talking about it. >> my client has a right to talk about anything, he's politically persecuted. i have no reason -- i've not been before him on this matter so we have to let this process play out. >> you can expect several legal challenges from president trump's legal team. tacopina said tonight

this reminds me of the steve bannon case.ho have already been indicted and convicted of it engage in what seems to be a similar scheme in connection with where they raise money on false pretensions. it's a classic wire fraud, mail fraud case once we heard from the january 6 committee hearings that this was what they had uncovered, it's not at all surprising that you would have jack smith pulling every thread on this and seeing if he can make the case. of course, it remains to be seen whether he can or cannot i'm not at all surprises he is going down that road it's a classic fraud investigation for the department of justice, and jack smith is well aware of that. >> could that be easier to prove than insurrection, regarding january 6? >> yeah. it could be. it depends you have to tie donald trump to the actual statements. you have to show he knew exactly how the fund-raising was being done that may be very easy to do. but you have to connect him to the false statement. i have to say, i don't think that the insurrection case is f

reporting, too, that investigators may be pursuing a strategy similar to the one used to charge steve bannon in his build the wall grift what is so disturbing and unusual in all this is the fact so much of the trump criminal action comes back to the action of making money, just the desire to profit off of anything and everything apparently. >> remember bannon got pardoned for that and now he's facing another actually in the state court. i have to go back to that time after the election january 6th you were getting bombarded i get bombarded on a regular basis with donald trump fund-raising e-mails and that was exceptional. and i don't know if you remember it, too but it was just e-mail after e-mail after e-mail. remember there was a story "the new york times" did a great one where people were paying him and they kept charging the credit card against their wishes. >> they entered into agreements where their card would be charged in subsequent months >> it's going to be interesting what jack smith finds on that in terms of he's going in there and he's going to look at, you know, what did the e-

it's dressed up with a lot o legalese but at the end of the day it's like a legal equivalent of a steve bannonand is just plain wrong. and it's true the appeals cour put an end to the worst-case scenario, at least for now which is a complete ban on the drug, which is something tha this trial judge decided but this is not some sort of big win for the government because judges are aligned - very - that scenario -- large numbers of women are going to not be able to ge this drug under the court of appeals ruling >> it just plain wrong and could be headed down a path to impact half our population juanita tolliver, you and have talked a lot of bout on the show abortion and access t it -- what do you think of thi ruling >> i think the biden administration's right t fight. they are right to fight hard and make sure that fight i public let's be real. they have the political high ground here when almost tw thirds of the country stil supports access to abortion, when we have winds in states like wisconsin that janet pr to say which was won only by - less than one point in 2020. and when you have ballot i

this is the same judge that was all over steve bannon for his build the wall thing that he was doinggot himself in trouble and he got pardoned for. he was the one that put his cfo in jail in rikers island a 75-year-old jockey how stiffly he was sentenced. i do understand it. tactically i don't know how it works to bring it up. >> steve: we don't know what the charges are going to be and we won't know tomorrow until after he is arraigned. yesterday i was in palm beach on palm sunday and as i was flying out i saw trump force 1 screen left. the doors were open. it looks like it has a new paint job and they have a new flag on the back tail which is something new. and it was exactly where they always park air force one when he was president of the united states. got to explain. one of the reasons that donald trump maybe talking about the judge and the d.a. because they are trying to get a change of venue. 90 of the% of the people registered are democrats. is he trying to get it changed into the more republican friendly staten island. that's not going to happen but at least he can ask. mar

like on december 5th >> are any of the machines, i know it was on war room the other day with steve bannon. have any of the machines been looked at? >> i would have to check on that in terms of georgia. i know during the audit they did check on those machines. let's go off the record for one second >> i don't want us to say it if it's not that's why i'm checking. >> i think they have looked at the machines when the secretary of state did its audit, there was a lot -- i think a fair bit of looking at the machines the audit came in pretty darn close to what the machine count was with the receipts. so i don't know the outcome of those, but our understanding, again, this is from the secretary of state's office, was there weren't any physical issues with the machines in those inspections. >> obviously, that was not maria bartiromo. that was someone from fox news we understand that tells you the company understood people at the company who had editorial responsibility understood on december 5th there was nothing they could find from the trump campaign itself. now, let's hear maria bartiromo. thi

and the fact is, everyone no -- steve bannon was just almost i tears today on his podcast talking about how do we get these fringe ideas, literall seeping into the mainstream, what will we do? so everybody there is lookin around to, like, who is goin to fill that slot? i don't want to -- put it out into the universe but you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone as read paled as tucker carlson >> do you think this change th fundamental dynamics of th republican primary >> i actually do it's strange to say. but tucker carlson was the donald trump of fox. he played the same transgressive game he was flirting with the sam forces more consciously, more extremely, in many ways. and i think whoever -- >> - sophisticated at that level -- >> - who are being talked about, wh are in that chair, are the desantis figure -- but ultimately good employee of rupert murdoch who want republicans to get elected, to get power, to lower taxes, all that stuff >> it will be interesting to see how all the shapes up in the future brandy zadrozny and ben smith, thanks for being here. appreciate it. coming up -- donald

reporting, susanne, tha investigators may be pursuing strategy similar to the on used to charge steve bannon in his build the wall grift >> yeah. >> what is so disturbing a unusual in all this is the fac that so much of the trum criminal action comes back t making money it's just this desire to profi off of everything and anything apparently >> remember bannon got pardo for that and now he's facing another batch of state court - but i just have to go back t it and that time that after the election between january 6th - you are getting bombarded. i get bombarded it on a regula basis with donald trump, fundraising emails and that was exceptional and i don't know if yo remember it to - >> yes >> it was just email after email after email. there was stories, in the ne york times, there was a grea one, when people were they - charged the credit card, i guess, against - >> - charge in subsequent month after -- >> and it's going to b interesting to see - feints on that just in terms o he's going in there and he's going to - what are the emails say, wit their legal counsel saying they're -- fact-chec

now former trump white house strategist steve bannon. >> is also one of the past cases charged with tricking donors who gave money to build a u.s. border wall that never happened. trump's presidential pardon stop the federal prosecution, though, in that case, the former president has already gone on the offensive against the judge, claiming that he real road id, weisselberg into a plea and acted, quote, viciously. against the trump organization. >> stay tuned to kron 4 because we're going to continue following what's going on live in new york with report starting live at 07:00am. we've got reaction and the aftermath of what happens to in our later broadcast. now, we are expecting trump in court at 11, 15 our time. so stay tuned for our noon and 3 o'clock newscast as well as all throughout the night. and you can stay up to date online at kron 4 dot com and with our app. >> it is 605. turning our attention to other news here around the bay in the south bay, the street drug called tranq is taking life of another bay area resident that drug, which is an animal tranquilizer that's often mixed wit

this hearing what i think is going on here is this is a shrewd move by bragg to avoid being in a steve bannon situation. he doesn't want -- and democrats don't want to have hypocrisy thrown in their face by say, oh, when it was the democrats subpoenaing republicans and they defied subpoenas, they should be prosecuted and go to jail, and they don't want, if they choose to defy the subpoena, which they certainly will -- pomeranz will defy it. they're trying to preempt the hypocrisy that will come from republicans. but at the end of the day, this isn't going to amount to anything the courts are not going to intervene with how congress -- there is that small separation of powers argument. >> you're hear for analysis more than the crystal ball. at least on this program, we don't really predict what the courts are going to do we report on it. >> not much precedent for what bragg is asking the courts to do. >> again, i just want to make sure folks understand, we don't know what the courts are going to do. if they slap this down, that's interesting to we'll report if and when it occurs nick. >> of co

and to me, this is actually a really good example because you actually had steve bannon and reince priebus desperate to fulfill you know, trump said he was going to do this first thing. so therefore, they have to do it first thing, they're told. well, no, you know, actually the justice department office of legal counsel needs to sign off on any kind of an order like this. and they just said, well, can we just not do that? yeah, can we just not do that? you know, is that is that a law or is that just a tradition? and that was a crazy example, too, because it wasn't a law. it was just what was expected. well, exactly. and that is another theme that runs through is that is trump. and those who surrounded him sometimes intentionally simply because they blundered it but expose the weaknesses in our system that starts almost on day one when you realize is that what we think of as ironclad traditions policies are norms are there to be much more negotiable than we realized and to be weaponized on behalf someone who's determined not follow them. i mean, we knew that january six existed as a moment

people who wan to talk to you about a clutc of supporters for the chines billionaire closest to steve bannonwho was recently indicted for massive fraud but just assorted eccentrics i'll put it that way >> i'm so glad that i was able to walk down there yesterday and see if myself, and i'm s glad to see it again today through your eyes and in you brilliant column michelle goldberg, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> a huge win for democracy in last night, a win that could affect the outcome of the next presidential election. we'll go to the mastermind o that big win, he will join u next my most important kitchen tool? my brain. so i choose neuriva plus. unlike some others, neuriva plus is a multitasker supporting 6 key indicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp. neuriva: think bigger. choosing a treatment for your chronic migraine - 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting 4 hours or more - can be overwhelming. so, ask your doctor about botox®. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they even start. it's the #1 prescribed branded chronic migra

kennedy jr., who steve bannon is looking to run for president in 2024. accusing several media outlets of colluding to censor their views on the covid vaccine he's a right winger in every sense of the word and he's now stayed the approval that dates back to 1988 of the abortion pill joining me now is msnbc legal analyst lisa reuben. lisa, i should say i'm sorry, the approval dates back to 2000. mifepristone has been fda approved since 2000 for a use of a drug in a two-step process for abortions. so lisa, tell us what this ruling means i know it just happened. you just now had a chance to read it. lay it out for us, what does this ruling mean >> you're being generous by saying i had a chance to read if i had a chance to skim it. what this ruling means is no less than a total disaster for america's women and girls. and here's why, joy. the plaintiffs in this case, they asked for an order that would require the fda to withdraw or suspend its approval of mifepristone, and according to people who are expert in fda law, that's a process that likely would have t
