      [continued from previous message]              including money laundering, conspiracy and fraud. After creating an       online fundraising campaign titled Rebuild the Wall. The donations were       promoted to be used to build a wall along the US-Mexico border,       according to reports. Bannon and his partners raised over a $15       million. I’m just reading the news. I started looking at this. It was       humble. And this is not this is the least of it. There’s more. This was       not the first time Tanner was charged with a defrauding scheme. He was       charged in 2020 by federal prosecutors in a different case. However, he       was pardoned by Donald Trump during the final hours of his first term.       The same Donald Trump who stabs in the back. Think about that.       Politico. Bannon ally, Chinese billionaire, arrested on fraud charges.       How many of you know Chinese billionaires who arrested on fraud       charges? This guy presents himself as the everyday American. Federal       prosecutors in New York arrested exiled Chinese billionaire and Steve       Bannon, ally. When girl Wednesday morning. This is 2023 on charges that       he and his financier orchestrated a more than $1 billion fraud scheme       aimed at Google’s hundreds of thousands of online followers. That was       also goes by the name of Miles Kwok and his financer. We’re charged in       any 12 can indictment with wire fraud, securities fraud, bank fraud,       money laundering that goes on. 2020. Bannon was arrested on federal       fraud charges while abroad while aboard the guy’s yacht. Bannon pleaded       not guilty, was subsequently pardoned on those charges by former       President Donald Trump. I don’t know all the ins and outs of this. The       article goes on and on and on, but he needed a pardon. So let’s just       let’s just some this up guy gets a pardon on federal charges. The guy       pleads guilty to state charges. A ripping off. Average Americans who       think they’re donating for a war. Pretty heavy, don’t you think? And       here’s The New York Post. 2021 Trump pardons former White House       strategist Steve Bannon. President Trump on Tuesday night pardoned       former campaign aide and White House strategist. And of course, Trump       fired him from the White House because he wouldn’t stop leaking leaking       on his co-workers. Apparently like Jared Kushner. And then some guy       writes a book, I think his name was Wolf, and he basically accuses Don       Jr of treason. And that was it for Trump. He kicked his fat ass out of       the White House. Now, this guy, by the way, has called for the       investigation and deportation of Elon Musk. He’s called for the       investigation of Kayleigh MCENANY, Sean HANNITY, the Murdochs and me.       Meaning he wants us prosecuted and thrown in prison because we support       Israel. This guy said today that Israel is not our ally, that we should       drop Israel. So like Qatar, often they side with the enemy. And they’re       incessant leakers like Qatar Olsson. They condemn the left wing media.       They are the left wing media. They work with the left wing media. Says       here, New York Post banner was accused of scamming $1 million from       donors to the We Build the Wall Go Fund Me campaign launched by U.S.       Air Force Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage who lost three limbs. This       horrible. Horrible. There seems to be no line this guy won’t cross. But       this scam was obviously aimed at you. He was busted in August aboard       the Lady Mae, a $28 million yacht owned by Chinese billionaire I       mentioned before. Bannon’s pardon was among a wave of last minute       clemencies. The White House was expected to announce ahead of the Biden       inauguration while he got it. He got it. It goes on. There’s many more       details here. We’re not going to spend all day on this, but I feel I       have a public service responsibility as a Trump supporter, as a MAGA       supporter, as a conservative, as a radio host who has spent decades       trying to build this movement. You know, Bill Buckley through the John       Birch Society, out of the conservative movement. These people are not       MAGA, they are fake MAGA. They have latched on to this. They’re       grifters. That’s what they are. I know you’ve heard of them. I know you       thought. Good. There are no good. Now they can come back with all the       names and smears. And I’m a Jew and, you know, Tel Aviv and all that. I       don’t mind Tel Aviv, Mark. Because I don’t hate Israel. But here’s the       thing, Bannon. You’re always going to be a fraud for the rest of your       life. That’s your legacy. You’re a crook. He confessed to it. They keep       your fat ass out of prison. That’s what she did. I’ve never been on a       boat with a Chinese billionaire who’s charged with crimes either. I’ve       never needed a pardon from President Trump either. There was a great       piece written. Wish I had known about it earlier. In the hill. Maybe       somebody named John Mcgilligan. Steve Bannon wants you to believe his       award general for the Forgotten Man, a blue collar prophet in cargo       pants, ready to torch the global elites on behalf of truckers and       farmers. But strip away the flannel and fury. Now, what you’ll find is       in a popular sits a financier. A Hollywood operator. A man where $20       Million LARPing as a cold dusted crusader for the common man. This is       the hustle. Bennett talks like a patriot but lives like a prince. He       rails against the globalists while building his own global network. He       warned you about the machine, even as he becomes a vital geezer in it.       Let’s rewind. Before Breitbart, before the War Room podcast, which       should be called the Fraud Room before the MAGA movement and talk of       deconstructing the administrative state. Bannon was something far less       revolutionary a banker, and not just any banker. He was a high powered       executive at Goldman Sachs, the very temple of global finance. He now       pretends to rage against. He didn’t walk picket lines. He walked into       boardrooms. He advised mergers and helped move capital around like like       puzzle pieces in the portfolios of the powerful. He got in on the deals       most Americans would never even hear about, let alone benefit from. One       of those deals, Seinfeld. After leaving Goldman, he began his own firm       and worked with Westinghouse to successfully acquire a minority stake       in Castle Rock Entertainment, the producer of Seinfeld. As part of that       deal. Bannon accepted a stake in the royalties of this show a wholly       macro. So why do you have to defraud people? Isn’t that enough?       Translation Every time you left at Kramer’s entrance, Barney got. Rich,       white, working class Americans were juggling bills and wondering if       they can afford another tank of gas. Boehner was catching passive       income from a sitcom about nothing. And when that well started to run       dry, he pivoted to image. He went Hollywood. He did not go as a writer,       a director, but as a producer. The shadowy figure behind the scenes       raising money, shaping narratives, angling for influence. He produced a       slate of forgettable documentaries with big ambitions and a little       reach, hoping to strike gold, or at least strike a nerve. He sniffed       around the Vanity Fair circuit, elbowed his way through the fringes of       Los Angeles power lunch culture tried to matter in rooms for creative       types mingled with capital. But it didn’t stick. He was too blunt, too       ideological, too out of place. So he rebranded. When the red carpet       didn’t welcome, he found an alternative stage. He embraced Carhartt       cosplay, grew out the hair, declared himself a champion of the people.       But make no mistake, he never stopped living like royalty.
