Step back.
>> Stop hurting America, stop hurting America, stop hurting America,
stop hurting America you greasy, stupid grifter.
Stop hurting America you greasy two bit grifter.
>> The greasy two bit grifter you saw in that video was of course, Steve Bannon.
He was surrendering, which means that he didn't actually have them kill me first,
which he said he would.
They will have to kill me first or, do I need to call an Uber,
b cuz I really not gonna surrender, and he did.
He surrendered as of course he was going to, this dude loves false bravado, Jesus!
And I love that, as he goes in to face his charges, he's identified for what he is.
He is a grifter, through and through, in every sense of the word,
a massive scheming grifter.
It's transparent, he's already suffered brief consequences for it.
It looks like he's probably gonna suffer more.
He is now charged with money laundering,
as well as conspiracy in connection with allegations that he defrauded donors to
a group aimed at building a wall along the US-Mexico border.
Two counts of money laundering in the second degree,
one count of conspiracy in the fourth degree.
And in case you haven't listened to other videos about this,
you don't understand why he's facing these charges.
I cannot be clear enough.
He and other people stole millions of dollars from some of the most devoted
MAGA people, to build a wall that they had no intention of building.
They said, give us money, we'll build a wall, and they took the money and
they bought jewelry and clothes and cars and yachts.
And then after being caught and charged with that,
he started doing a show, and MAGA people tuned in.
Because there is no getting through to them that they're being enthusiastically
scammed, willingly, scammed by this guy over and over.
He'll do a show from jail and they will send him money, guarantee it, Francesca.
>> Yeah, and I'm sure the woman screaming at him was a defrauded MAGA supporter,
angry that she was lied to about the money going to actually build the wall.
Wait a minute, no, no, she definitely was not.
But I just gotta say, I have so much love for
the people, cuz I used to be one of them.
Living in New York, activists, kinda scrappy, made their sign where,
I think Steve Bannon is gonna turn himself in, that was central booking there.
I don't know this woman, but I feel like I might know her, and she waited there,
and she stood there, and yes, you got the sound, you got the tape,
you greasy two bit grifter.
Stop hurting America.
I love you, whoever and wherever you are, thank you for
saying what we all wanna say.
And yeah, there he is, just a smelly puppy dog.
>> [LAUGH] >> Which is just that again,
a smelly puppy dog greater than Steve Bannon, any day of the week.
And none of it will actually matter to the movement, but again,
he did this on behalf of Donald Trump, all the time.
Who are we doing this on behalf of?
Donald f-ing Trump, who gets away every single time, Donald f-ing Trump.
>> He got away from the initial federal charges because of Donald trump.
But I think, look, he was basically using the MAGA movement.
He was pretending to pursue a goal of Donald Trump to make himself rich.
It's like the perfect grifter.
If I were Donald Trump, I would be furious about that.
Imagine, I have this goal, my one stated domestic goal is to have this wall,
and you're gonna take millions from people who love me, so that you can get a yacht.
It's crazy, honestly, that Donald Trump actually pardoned him.
Donald Trump's a grifter.
He's not supposed to be okay with competition for the grifting.
Every one of those millions of dollars could have millions of dollars that he
stole, and he is trying, which is another added layer of irony that,
Bannon might end up serving jail time for ripping off MAGA people.
Donald Trump is sending out emails right now to do the exact same thing.
How many countless tens of millions of dollars did Trump raise after the 2020
election, to fight it, that he never had any intention of fighting it.
He makes the amount that this group raised look like absolutely nothing,
but he's able to get away with it.
Steve Bannon isn't powerful enough.
He isn't rich enough.
He's barely a living biological organism, I guess.
And so he can suffer the consequences, but every single day there's other right
wingers doing the same thing and they're walking free.
>> The paper record, New York Times, look at the the Moloch right there.
That's next level.
Here's why.
It's a desecration.
It's a desecration of Independence Hall.
Where the constitution, the declaration of independence, the liberty bell,
goes to Philadelphia, a city that's in chaos and collapsing.
All around here is crime and anarchy takes over, and he goes there, that's Moloch.
Look at that.
They did that on purpose.
He'll always be known with that photo of him like Moloch, right?
>> Same modern political party labeling their opponent Moloch, I think Moloch was
actually a card I opened in the magic gathering packed recently.
What I love about that is, he shows the, not a photo,
not l still from the video where you just see the red,
he shows the newspaper that shows that it was red and blue.
It was blue on the outside.
It wasn't framed that way in the video, but that's what the set was,
it was regular American colors.
Red and blue.
Also, Steve Bannon is sitting in front of a red background,
[LAUGH] Moloch up in here.
There's even swoopy blades and stuff.
The word war, what sort of subliminal message is he trying to send, Brett?
Dude, stop trying to make Moloch happen.
It's not going to happen.
>> [LAUGH] >> It is so insane.
So, Steve Bannon has the dominant strategy for a psychopath going on.
One, he is trying to gin up the base and
he is attacking the Democrats.
And b, he's doing so and the people that are most likely to
get snowed into ridiculousness, wanting conspiracy theorists.
And when he says Moloch, what an insane lexicon to use.
That's not even saying, it's like the devil.
He's bringing up Moloch, who is that?
Nobody knows, unless there's so far down Bannon's rabbit hole,
that it just smells like whatever nacho cheese he guzzles a nonstop,
because instead of drinking unicorn blood, he just pumps easy cheese into a vein.
>> First of all, that was funny, thank you.
Who is Moloch?
Okay, so Moloch is a reference to a god from a long time ago.
Considering that this is Steve Bannon, and we're in the particular sort of
satanic panic that we're in right now, if that deity was associated with one thing,
what's your guess as to what that deity would be associated with?
>> Child sacrifice.
>> Did you look that up?
>> No.
>> Cuz you're right, that's why he chose Moloch, that's the reference.
Because, all of the people you disagree with on politics,
who wanna fight climate change or whatever,
they all want to consume murder and possibly have sex with children.
That's what they wanna do.
That's what this movement is, that's what this movement is.
>> They have so transparently jump the shark.
There's only so
long you can call the Democrats baby killers because of abortion, especially
after you leave it up to the states that are already yours to outlaw abortion.
Rather than all of you look around and say, my God,
what do we do now that we've gotten everything we ever wanted, I guess,
take a nap, which is something they don't wanna happen right now.
They need more momentum, and so
they need to make their lives huger and more ridiculous,
like the Democrats are out there actively plotting
to sacrifice babies to the the demonic Maw of Moloch.
So stupid.
>> It's almost clever, it's almost clever.
Steve Bannon has read a book, I guess, most of them have it.
