Set-Up: Donald interrupts Steve Bannon's show with unexpected call because Kari Lake needs a boost

A toupee for radio. For Trump, shtick is a stick of butter. Trump remains shameless. This likely was a Bannon set-up before he goes to the slammer.

Describing himself as the young "Marlon Brando" and the macho "Clint Eastwood," Trump explained his charisma, "Look, you either have it or you don't have it for television."

Conservative podcaster and convicted criminal Steve Bannon received a call from presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, a convicted felon, while he was live on air.

During his Monday War Room broadcast, Bannon interrupted an interview with Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake (R) to take a call.

"Kari, hang on for one second, I got somebody — I've got a call I got to take," Bannon said before answering the phone.

[...]

"Call back President Trump," she added. "Tell him I said hi."

Bannon said he would have taken Trump's call, but Lake was "adamant" about having her air time.

"Don't get between Kari Lake and a microphone," he joked.

The Noble Predictive Insights poll found that Gallego holds a 10-point lead over Lake, as 46 percent of respondents plan to vote for him in November, compared to 36 percent for Lake. Nineteen percent of respondents said they were unsure how they are going to vote. Gallego's lead is bolstered by a strong showing among independent voters as 42 percent plan to vote for Gallego, while 26 percent say they are going to vote for Lake. www.msn.com/...

WOW! This is one of President Biden’s BEST ads. He just CALLED OUT Donald Trump for being a convicted felon, a proven sexual abuser, and a proven fraudster. This is amazing and worth a watch👇pic.twitter.com/XYFLrVsPFZ

It’s been more than two weeks since the former president’s criminal conviction—and instead of, say, reflecting on his past misdeeds, the former president is still using the moment as a prime opportunity for projectionhttps://t.co/WAU5RHXjuW

UPDATE: @WeAreSinclair responds to Popular Information's story. It defends basing news articles on deceptively edited clips posted by @RNCResearch. And they "stand by... their reporting" -- reporting that includes multiple articles suggesting Joe Biden pooped himself. pic.twitter.com/oV38VUizH1

Trump claiming he is not a racist because he has so many Black friends is like Mormon fundamentalist Warren Jeffs claiming he is not a misogynist because he has so many female wives.https://t.co/4TOYJddIX3 pic.twitter.com/r0iWmDBnqB
