everything. you just need to pump enough raw sewage into the discourse that people don t believe it s worth trying to find something true there anymore. a salient point and one of her well put. president boma speaking today at stanford. meanwhile today the aforementioned sewage flow around steve bannon actually got a little bit stickier today. you know what s? sticky? is the grocer for me to say sticky or stinky in this context? i don t know. slippery or, i don t know. while trump was still president in august 2020 you might reverse the ban it was arrested. he was hiding out in the yacht of a chinese billionaire and he was arrested and charged with carrying out a multi million-dollar fraud scheme. which stole more than $20 million from gullible trump supporters. i love that this doesn t even bother trump folks at all. dude was literally hiding on chinese billionaires yacht. he was arrested for stealing millions of dollars specifically from trump
lying and denying that he did this when in fact he did it. but of course, he answers to his caucus, and jonathan, let me ask you about another bombastic allegation. or at least bombastic reality that you guys portraying the same chatter in the book, which is mr. mccarthy, also, according to your reporting, called for more members of his caucus, either members of congress to have their twitter cut off, the same way that trump is cut off from twitter. he is also denying that he said that. what is your reaction to that denial? i can t quite do justice but, i ll try. if you take yourself back to this period, january of 2021, remember that president trump was widely seen after january 6th as potentially inciting a second attack on the capitol. so, twitter took action, and removed him from that platform. so it mccarthy is talking about, is he s hearing from his fellow
that. it s obviously an investigation that is looking very very closely at president trump s frame of mind, before and after the january 6th event, his private conversations. the extent to which people in and around the white house, and senior levels of the republican party were aware of what he intended to do. and perhaps an awareness on the then president s part, that what he was doing was wrong or fraudulent. so, when you hear kevin mccarthy alluding, on that tape to, i ve spoken to president trump in a couple of days. well, he did speak to him a couple of days ago. there are indications in some of the materials that we have that, certainly leader mccarthy has more insight to what president trump was thinking in doing that during that time that he has publicly disclosed. fascinating. and consequential. gentlemen, i thank you for this reporting, for sharing it with us, particularly for letting our viewers hear this incredible tape. i know the book is not out in
unified and focus on our shared agenda. why bannon s promise to help unseat members of his own party is giving us 2010 flashbacks. later from silicon valley to the hill, facebook s coo gets grilled on russia s reppenization of social media. this is mtp daily, and it starts right now. hello and welcome to mtp daily, i m katy tur in washington in for chuck todd. another day, another revelation of high-ranking government officials indicating some level of disagreement, or alarm, about what the president might do when it comes to international affairs. today his new revelation is, of course, nbc news exclusive reporting that president trump told officials at the pentagon he wanted a nearly tenfold
pushing back. tell us what our reporting is and whether or not there are actually, they re neg aiating i? trying to refute it, i should say. reporter: our report is in the course of this briefing at the pentagon back in july which was a worldwide briefing, looked at the whole world, the force posture, one of the slides president trump was shown was the nuclear arsenal and a look at the history of the arsenal. from the time of inception to the present day, of course, peaked during the time of the courted war and came down during the course of various treaties and whatnot. we ll told by several officials that president trump said he wants more, and he questioned why he doesn t have more, and they explained the history, explained the treaties and whatnot. so secretary mattis put out a statement by the way, nbc specifically said that despite this conversation that occurred in the tank, nothing has changed in the nuclear arsenal.
