steve cortez, another campaign adviser, is often on this radio show that steve bannon has. so he hasn't been completely out of trump world, and even donald trump jr. spoke at one of the events for this build a wall project that they had, that was over a year ago, so while this doesn't relate to his work in the white house, it has nothing to do with the white house, and the president is not extremely close to bannon, he certainly is not completely banished from the trump circle. >> the president was close to bannon at one time. it's hard to distance yourself from somebody who was the ceo of your campaign and a strategist in your white house. we're looking at video, we have been, of steve bannon with all the major players or at least one-time major players in this white house. dina powell, h.r. mcmaster. he has been close in this circle. one other question to you about another case having to do with the president, his taxes, the d.a. saying in new york saying that or the d.a. being allowed to get the president's taxes. what's the white house's reaction to that? >> well, the p

stephanie: i don't want to date myself, steve. 1988. i was an intern my freshman year of college for michael dukakis. i asked because i wonder if this is going to change conventions moving forward in 2024 or 2028. stephanie: everyone would agree the conventions needed to be modernized. abouttory, we are delegates coming to vote on nominees. trading votes, and out would come a nominee from the convention, it is largely a foregone conclusion now. there was a little suspense in 2016 of how that would go, but a lot of important things need to be said. i think it would be wise for conventions to rethink what the purpose of them are. how you communicate with the american people is really important and sitting on a stage with a room full of people is one way, but another way is to go where people are and conventions are really expensive, and there might be a better way to spend those dollars. steve: c-span will have live coverage of all the proceedings, the final night, right now, it's intended for the vice president to accept his nomination i

steve: it's a tie.and barack obama's speech last night it is clearly to me the former president of the united states and that's why he is doing something unprecedented worker harder again than the candidate to win an election for somebody else. here is president trump with the ultimate diss of president obama who he knew was about to rip him. >> president obama did not do a good job. the reason i'm here is because of president obama and joe biden. if they did a good job, i wouldn't be here. and probably if they did a good job, i wouldn't have even run. i would have been very happy. i enjoyed my previous life very much. they did such a bad job that i stand before you as president. brian: the key for the president of the united states is going to get the economy on the right trajectory. is the covid virus going to decrease throughout the country. and then is it going to be who is going to hustle more responsibly. get the audience with masks. keep them distant like a west point graduation. the president is

steve: may 1, 2019. holly otterbein as you watch and listen to that, how would you describe the moment? holly: again, this shows her prosecutorial skills, and her ability to do that. that is one reason her admirers were excited about her campaign. in her best moments, like the debate with joe biden, where she bussing she wasr , able to dig in and prosecute the case. it is interesting, because it has been reported part of the reason joe biden went with kamala harris is because of her debate skills. that is one thing they were looking for when they were considering a vice president, so of course, these moments where she is able to ask questions, very pointed questions, and get to the bottom of things, i'm sure it played into that. it should also be noted too that when we are talking about her debate history, there was one memorable moment where i think she did not perform strongly, which was when tulsi gabbard attacked her criminal justice and prosecutorial record. that was one moment. it will be interesti

steve: right., you know, listen, this entire week starting today, starting this morning we are flooding the zone, taking our message to the american people. we are all over the sunday shows, both the campaign folks as well as the president himself while joe biden and all of his surrogates have chosen to ignore the sunday shows on the eve of their convention and i have no doubt by the way when we see their convention that it's going to be quite a show. i really call the wizard of oz convention because they'll be a lot of hollywood glits and showmanship. what the president is going to do in contrast is go to places like wisconsin, the place that joe biden is snubbing, take our message to the american people and act like a commander in chief, somebody who just solidified our historic pack internationally and he's going to go to the border in arizona on tuesday. chris: okay, all right. steve: we are serious about locking america's front door. chris: steve, i promise you i will break in, thank you, than

steve bannon arrested with three others.es in defrauding hundreds of thousands of donors with the online campaign known as we build the wall. bannon was a former investment banker and knows financial sectors very well and in the media and president trump's advisor. it's key because you have these three or four people who have been arrested now and we still haven't heard from the other side as to what they're saying about these allegations that a bunch of this money was funneled to fund these lavish lifestyles. >> sandra: reading directly from the southern district of new york press release. the acting u.s. attorney, this is a direct quote. as alleged the defendants defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors capitalizing on their interest in funding a border wall to raise millions of dollars under the false pretense that all that money would be spent on construction. it goes on. so what we have right now is this press release from the u.s. attorney's office southern district of new york. we'll likely learn more as this news br

>> steve: yes. his very clear in his press conference yesterday, he said this is not an issue that we are going to be pursuing. >> chris: on the other hand, he didn't strike down the claim, and i'm asking about that because he once again yesterday was offered the opportunity to dismiss the false claim that because her parents were immigrants that she is not eligible to run even though she was born in the state of california. here is the president this week on that subject.resident trump:t today that she doesn't meet the requirements, and by the way, the lawyer that wrote that piece is a very highly qualified, very talented lawyer. i have no idea if that's right. i would've assumed the democrats would have checked that out before she gets chosen to run for vice president. >> chris: isn't this just like the birther claims the president made against barack obama? nothing could be easier than to say it's a false claim, she is eligible, not to say, well, i'm not going to make an issue of it. why not just
