America. And against what bannon refers to as globalists. That would be people like gary cohn, Jared Kushner, h. R. Mcmaster, and steven mnuchin. In some ways, bannon is now unchanged from the constraints of the white house that sort of had him pinned down. He is now free to go out and do whatever he wants. Whats the reason why bannon is gone . Youve seen that cover of the Time Magazine article. It looked like bannon was the real power behind the throne at the white house. There is also the book, devils bargain, the rock at the trump road all the way to the presidency. There was some talk in july that bannon may be leaving at the same time Reince Priebus was. I am told by sources in the know at the white house that bannon tenured his resignation to the president on august 7th. The deal was that his resignation and departure was going to be announced at the beginning of this week but that all of the events in relation to charlottesville and the aftermath of that pushed that timetable back some. Whats murky in all of this is what role john kelly played because bannon had already given his resignation but john kelly was evaluating his position in the white house. Kelly was the one who ultimately made the decision. The chief of staff john kelly and steve bannon together agreed that today would be bannons last day. With also a little bit murky or foggy is what role of this article the american prospect played in bannons departure. A lot of people at the white house were very upset by it. They believe you cant contradict the president on items like north korea, the things you did about gary cohn, without having repercussions but bannon was already out because we were told he tendered his resignation. It might have been a massive exit interview where he got the air all his grievances. In a forum where he was short a lot of democratic working people might see it. Jesse. Jesse thank you very much. Greg gutfeld, i think the understanding is the president has gotten rid of Reince Priebus and sean spicer. Hes also gotten rid of steve bannon, one of the more ideological populist nationalis nationalist. He has surrounded himself by generals, his family, and some moderate wall street people. It is that you see it . Greg i kind of see it as he unloaded bannon as a way to feed the a angry mob. Im skeptical of how evil he was painted. Im always wary of the thought mob. When everyone same the same thing. It strikes me, the way he was painted for six or seven months. Its so irrational that it is likely wrong. The white house lost a chief strategist but the good news is, cable news has gained a new talk show. The question is, where is he going to go . It could be bannon and the mooch. Jesse [laughs] i would love to see bannon and the mooch. Greg morning drive time. Jesse it couldnt be prime time because it would not be family oriented. Greg what time would it be . [laughter] jesse now that bannon has gone back to breitbart, could he potentially be more effective they are coming using breitbart as a weapon like he said he would be . To really hammer the president s opponents and push the president s agenda . Lisa i think he also might push the president. There are a couple things here that a really interesting. Steve bannon saw what having an off the record conversation with a journalist can do. It gets you relieved of your post. Some said that bannon didnt necessarily want to quit, he wanted to be fired. Its better for his personal narrative. We have seen from sean spicer and Reince Priebus and even Anthony Scaramucci when they left the white house, these very cordial postmortem interviews. The things about the president , they talked about serving the country and bannon is like hes finally someone spilling the beans. He said this presidency is over. Hes willing to talk. He knows he has an outlet. He didnt have to give that conversation, that means hes got a lot more vitriol and ammunition. Now he certainly got the platform. Jesse do you believe the presidency of donald trump is over as we know it . Because bannon and the president were pretty ideologically aligned when it came to economic nationalism and things of that nature. When you think . Lisa the media is going to have a field day trying to square bannon against President Trump. Anytime bannon says something, its going to be a new cycle for the day. Theres an overemphasis on each individual within the trump presidency. What we have seen from the media continuously is who has the strings of donald trump the puppet, right . Kushner, bannon, Reince Priebus jesse i am not a puppet, youre the puppet. Lisa if he is leaving in the presidency is over come kennedy look at the campaign trail with President Trump. He defeated 16 candidates during that duration, who had more money than him. Who outperformed him in terms of on the ground. People more experienced. He defeated Hillary Clinton who had two times the amount of money and five times the amount of staff. He did that with three Different Campaign managers. Lisa but steve bannon and kellyanne conway, thats when the rates really shifted to trumps advantage. Kennedy 16 candidates is also tasked five he espouses a lot of the same principles. Now particularly on issues with trade, making America Great again, 12 days after greg you read a playboy article . Nobody reads playboy articles. [laughter] kennedy i was reading it because jesse that was my line what did democrats say about bannon leaving . Are you celebrating in the streets . Juan bannon was not a hero for the democrats. He wanted to talk to a democrat. Right . He got out there, something you touched on. A strong message to a workingclass democrat, he stands with them and he was all about fighting against the chinese. Some people go inside the white house and they saw him its far too friendly to russia and putin. The inside fight is what catches my attention. We have people like bannon, aligned with Reince Priebus, and the whole nationalistic we were in the campaign, we knew how to push the right buttons on immigration, race, all the like those people have been, it seems to me, totally eclipsed. You know what . You see Jared Kushner right there. Right . With ivanka. More like gary cohn, the whole Goldman Sachs crowd. I think they are wall street people. I dont know how you call them moderate. They want less regulation and kennedy hallelujah more money. Its before i dont think those people are going to pick fights with china. They arent going to be hard on immigration. And bannon was saying those people to him are more moderate. Juan they are more moderate in terms of maybe compared to bannon but not compared to the democratic agenda. When you ask what democrats think, many Trump Supporters see these folks as part of that nationalist trend. They say you guys are going bannon saw them as globalists. People who were in fact ignoring the hardworking middleclass in america. Jesse definitely a part of the establishment. Juan the Establishment Republicans are in a moment too. They are very angry at trump right now. Trump has jesse when are they not angry . Juan trump is blaming Mitch Mcconnell for the failure of his legislative agenda. Hes taking on people like mccain. Where does it go now . You have breitbart, a really high place. Breitbart is where bannon is going to stay. The Trump Administration jesse kennedy, were you going to respond . Kennedy who has been a part of this administration and who has been released, we have to look at where we are going. Im wondering, do steve bannon somehow flip on the president . Is there some bad blood and does he make things difficult in this russia investigation . What does he know and then what does he share with the special counsel . Jesse i think the president and steve bannon will continue to talk. To think we are overplaying the whole advisor game right now . Do think trump greg no, in the context of whats been going on, this is an ongoing thing. I try to remain optimistic. Im giving this administration the benefit of the doubt because hes our president. The media has gotten a hold of the threat of this sweater. They are not going to let go until theres nothing left. Lets say he made this change is a way to say hey, look, i listened to general kelly. And we are going to calm the waters. We are going to move forth. I dont think hes going to change anybodys mind. They are out to get him. They are out to get him in an irrational, incorrect way. He has made mistakes but they are expecting the wrong thing from trump. Hes not the kind of person that soothes a nation. Hes a businessman. President obama had the eloquence to sooth the nation. Donald trump is a street fighter and thats what youre saying. Juan what about conservative media . Im talking about not only breitbart but drudge, the possibility that bannon goes out and combines with robert mercer. The conservative moneyman. And creates a new conservative channel . Greg they have a lot of talent out there. [laughter] jesse how is washington reacting to bannons departure and is this a reset mode for the white house . Juan Steve Bannons exit from the white house is perhaps the biggest political shakeup of the year. In 2017, thats saying something. Take a look at how the broadcast networks covered it tonight. We will see what happens with mr. Bannon. Today, we saw. The president process control, all right, delete. He gives his chief strategist the boot. Lightning rod steve bannon is out tonight. Trump chief strategist, a key architect of trumps election victory, he nurtured most of the president take no prisoners taken just days after the inauguration. Now National Security advisor Michael Flynn gone. Press secretary sean spicer, gone. Chief of staff Reince Priebus, gone. And finally today, steve bannon. Juan ticket that her idea of how the Political Class in washington, bret baier. Is this a reset moment for the white house . Good evening, guys. I think greg was right, if this is going to be some major pivot for President Trump, theyve been looking for it for a long time. Its likely not going to be. President trump is going to be President Trump. That said, its an eyeopener. The word was that he was on his way out and the administration, the president had made that the decision with general kellys guidance a couple of weeks ago. Bannon is telling people that he offered his resignation august 7th. And that today was going to be the last day. Its a change. It doesnt take away the uniqueness of this president or the firepower of steve bannon, who now in his words, has a lot more weapons in his old job as the executive of breitbart news. Juan i heard you say you thought this was the worst week in the trump presidency. Is that right . I did come earlier. I was asked about the perception of how the president is being received. When you have people speaking out, charlottesville, mainly that tuesday News Conference and then you see Everything Else that has transpired, this was not a stellar week for this president. As far as number one, getting capitol hill engaged on his agenda come the fall. There are a lot of big things in the next few weeks that hes going to need not only republicans but democrats to pass. Kennedy its kennedy. Hey. Who fills the void . Greg that was my question. Kennedy i will phrase it differently, greg gutfeld. Weve been reading that steve bannon has been thrown out of this administration. He who taken over his role in the last week . Great question. Kellyanne conway probably has a more significant role. General kelly has been empowered with that general staff position. Hes a lot more political minded about the future and laying things out as far as an agenda then people may have given him credit for. He was a legislative liaison for two defense secretaries. He knows his way around washington. I think he has a lot more Political Savvy in that role then people may know. Lastly, i think jared and ivanka will take a much more prominent role if you believe bannon and jarrett were going at it. Juan begot squabbling at the table because apparently kennedy took gregs question. Greg i dont know if this could be a shift or will they add somebody new quest to less incendiary . Maybe like a Michael Savage . [laughter] phrasing your analysis, this a big night for me. I think trump, President Trump is going to be President Trump. You are exactly right. Hes going to not change. Just because steve bannon is there or not. Bob mercer, the hedge fund millionaire this week, President Trump and live confirmed that. That means theyve been talking things through. About how to play the outside game with steve bannon and the Mercer Family perhaps. Thats an interesting thing in and of itself. Lisa hi it, lisa. Are we expecting for people like steve miller or sebastian gorka, more closely aligned with steve bannon. Does the signal anything for them . Are you hearing of any additional staff changes . All we have heard is that general kelly is not finished cleaning house. If thats accurate i think there are people that will be looking over their shoulder. People, theyre probably a couple of them. Steve miller has entrenched himself. On the more communication side of things. Maybe a better position. There are a couple others who might be looking over their shoulders. Jesse hey, bret baier. I dont want to get into the president s head. I think thats a very interesting place to be. If youre President Trump, do you run out of people to fire after a while . [laughs] its the turn factor. Hes turning out people. One person goes in the next person goes. If kellys tax it up and hes got a team, he still got another three years left in the first term. Does he keep firing people . Or does he stick with the team . Even in the primaries he was still firing people. Its kind of a chaotic scene. 11 firings or resignations since february 13th. Its august 18th. We have quite a lot of turmoil. Its not a traditional operation. I dont know if its going to continue. I think theres a sense that they need to settle things down before the fall. As i mentioned, its not just hope and wish about tax reform and infrastructure. He of things that are going to have a deadline. Fiscal cliff. A budget that will require some best hands at the till. Juan before we let you go and thanks so much for talking to us tonight. I am struck by the idea that we have seen breitbart had war. The interview that steve bannon gave to the Weekly Standard. This presidency, eight months and, its over. For people like you watching and thinking whats going on here is that a signal about potentially coming from the rightwing media towards the president , because of bannons dismissal . Or do you think it doesnt have much impact or meaning Going Forward . The war thing was kind of the mantra that bannon used to take on the big foes. The mainstream media, democrats, the establishment republican class. I think more significantly, juan, is the quote steve bannon gave the Weekly Standard tonight. At that presidency, the presidency we fought for and won is over. Essentially saying that he is going to battle not President Trump, hes going to help President Trump and perhaps who President Trump is and what he wants to get done. But hes going to battle the forces that are trying to turn President Trump into a more traditional establishment figure. Some of those forces are inside the trump white house. Steve bannon talking about in the other interview with gary cohn, steven mnuchin, these are forces inside the Trump Administration. Juan more fighting to come, i guess. Perhaps. Juan thanks again for staying around. Greg thanks, bret baier. Lisa you are our favorite bear. Juan not holding a rally in his city next week, the left trying to prevent the president from talking directly to his supporters kennedy President Trump loves to speak directly to americans about holding rallies. This one scheduled but is the left trying to shut down this speech for your President Trump . The phoenix mayor sure doesnt want to have the president there next week. Its very unfortunate. Illtimed after the events in charlottesville and the disappointing response of our president to unequivocally condemn racism and uneventful backtoback unequivocally condemn whites primacy. I am concerned about the purpose is to inflame passions, im concerned about what might happen as a result. Lisa grad, clearly the mayor is saying he wants to delay right after the charlottesville to take this at face value . Would you think theres a political motive . Greg political motives. His rallies are peaceful. What hes worried about her but think hes right about, that others will show up and cause violence. What hes contributing to is the illumination about his ability to congregate and have conversations every time you eliminate that step between emotions and violence, you end up with violence. You need people to be able to relieve tension and discuss things and meet and talk about things. Even if their ideas are repugnant to you. If you cant stand their ideas. The fact is, the more you push stuff down, you find these and other countries, the more you cut out a certain religion the more radical that religion becomes. The idea is the more conversation there is, the fewer acts of violence there are. My theory. Lisa jesse, what you think the signal for future rallies that President Trump is obviously going to try to have . Jesse he will continue to have big rallies with huge crowds. Those are going to be and adrenaline rush. Illtimed . Didnt president obama have a fundraiser after benghazi . Come on. Talk about illtimed. Get out of here. He doesnt want trump to be successful. Trump is going to have a huge rally and everyone will go show up. We are going to take it live. Hes gonna have a ton of news feed off the energy of the crowd. Three years, hes going to win back arizona like wanted last time. This is a lot of sour grapes. Msnbc and, i would not consider a badge of honor. This is what people are going to do and all the states where trump holds rallies. They are going to show off, bluff, flex their muscles and act like you cant come here. You are a racist and then trump will drop air force one and dominate the local media markets, raise a ton of cash. And then go back to 1600 pennsylvania avenue as a winner. They dont want him to win. Thats the problem. Lisa is there speculation that trump may endorse the senator who has obviously been critical kennedy no, his opponent. Lisa the senator who has been very critical of the president , the word he talked about was a lot of turmoil within the Republican Party and Trump Administration. What would that mean for President Trump and his agenda . Kennedy hes got to be really careful about whom he attacks in the senate. I think he has other wars brewing, north korea. The whole handful of issues he has to deal with them ethically. Believing steve bannon of his post today was part of that. Trying to calm that storm. What he said in that was politically motivated. I think the president would actually be more effective if he did have a beat between having another rally in the conversation in charlottesville. Unfortunately, weve been so distracted by what the conversation what the president said, we havent talked about some of the failures. I think there are important lessons to be learned here from Law Enforcement and other cities a freespeech rally tomorrow in boston. There are cities who want to figure out how to have these kind of demonstrations without them devolving into violence. Lisa want, what you think we will see at the rally on tuesday night . Juan it will be a typical trump rally. I think we have had some violence at trump rallies. Kennedy perpetrated by leftwing thugs. Jesse juan here we are,p talking points. Give me a shot here. What we heard the phoenix mayors like a mother of a maximum police presence. The second thing is that john mccain and jeff flake, the two republican senators from arizona want no part of it. Does he go there and start putting down his fellow republicans . Likely. Jeff flake, he said oh, john mccain . The guy who killed obamacare . Or didnt kill obamacare . What you get is a situation where the aftermath he chooses to go and has a Campaign Style rally. The stuff he was always condemning obama for. Youre constantly campaigning. Hes constantly campaigning and doing so in a moment where at nerves and, as kennedy was saying, they are going to have a big rally in boston this weekend. They are worried about violence there. Trump inserts himself and when the altright and neonazis and white supremacist show up, oh, not his fault. Jesse greg there are tws of that. This has become a mouse mass combination condemnation. This has become a conduit to condemn a group of people beat these people in november. Theres a revenge aspect of that. I can understand him going to his voters and saying dont forget why we are here. How this happened. Because right now, you are being demonized by the media. They are saying guilt by association. If you voted for trump, you are racist. They have taken a presser and turned into a massive indictment of 60 million people. I said he could have done a better job. Lisa jesse i want to mae more point. The mayor of charlottesville has some responsibility here. How did he get off the hook . Juan the mayor of charlottesville . Jesse there are no tweets there. Nothing. Lisa you wont believe what he is saying now. At the break is going to be interesting. I wanted to know who i am and where i came from. I did my ancestrydna and i couldnt wait to get my pie chart. The most shocking result was that im 26 native american. I had no idea. Just to know this is what im made of, this is where my ancestors came from. And i absolutely want to know more about my native american heritage. Its opened up a whole new world for me. Discover the story only your dna can tell. Order your kit now at ancestrydna. Com. Kennedy welcome back. Al gores film on Climate Change has been a disaster. That has not stopped the failed president ial candidate to give advice on someone who did find a way to enact the electoral college. If i had to give one piece of advice, what would it be . Resigned. Kennedy oh, albert. Greg, this is just sad. His movie is floundering like a dying carp on a hot dog. Greg i blame Climate Change on that, by the way. Everyone is piling on trump. He just joined a mob because it made him relevant. Kennedy lisa, hes just trying to get a little bit of interest in his movie. Its sheer climate hackery. Isnt it . Lisa this is what hes trying to do. He knows 66 of democrats care about democrats. Thats why he is launched this issue. The planet would not exist right now, according to him. I dont think is the best of foreshadowing things. She sends he spends one month heating their pool what an average american spends one month eating their house. Jesse i cant talk about al gore. I just had dinner. You know what . This wasnt a quickwitted response. You can see how the camera makes the edit when he answers the question. It probably took them 10 minutes to think of. Kennedy style editing. Juan he is not a hero of mine but i think its a real issue. Climate change. Even though the movie is still not doing well, it will be number two or number one documentary box office wide of the year. Greg eight dollars. Juan the thing that strikes me, i dont think you guys care what al gore has to say. Greg you are right jesse thats the only thing youve been right about all day juan you dont care, the reason you are doing this is to mock al gore. Greg next segment, juan. Juan what about jesse gore has the same outfit as greg gutfeld, if you look at it. Greg he ripped me off. Juan what about mitt romney saying why doesnt he stand up and apologize for charlottesville . What you do part of the republican saying i dont know what to do with this guy, especially those on capitol hill . The polls, oh, my gosh, greg can we do facebook friday . Lisa yes, we can. Gregs wish is our demand. Gregs wish is our demand. Facebook friday is up you wont see these folks at the post office. Gregs wish is our demand. Facebook friday is up they have businesses to run. They have passions to pursue. How do they avoid trips to the post office . Stamps. Com mail letters, ship packages, all the services of the post office right on your computer.

A great one. From wanda. What was your favorite childhood candy that you still love today . We always still love it no matter what. Right, kennedy . Kennedy big league chew. Greg wow. Kennedy thought was novelty gum that actually had a purpose. You can feel like a Major League Ballplayer without getting mouth cancer. Greg what you think . Lisa cotton candy. My dad would take me to hockey games. Its just a little messy. If your fingers get sticky, its kind of gross but it taste delicious. Greg what he about you . Jesse do you remember deppe . You just took this big sugar dipstick . I like that. Juan i love bazooka bubble gum. Jesse candy juan what about the turkish taffy . Jesse jesse are you havg amnesia . Kennedy in the 1740s greg you know what always got a bad rap . Candy cigarettes. It sends a bad message but it may be want to have more candy cigarettes. Lisa what about a ton of fireballs . Greg pop rocks were amazing. Juan lets talk about candy bars. Greg heath bar. Thats the best. I dont like any coconut. No mounds for me. Texture is bad. Kennedy pita buttercups. When they have the Christmas Tree or the egg . Lisa or the eggs. Greg they drip down your face. Its disgusting. Kennedy up butterfinger blizzard from dairy queen. Greg i am lactose intolerant and i still do it. So does everybody else. This is another great question from camille jay. Kids are getting to go back to school were starting to go back to school. What was or is your Favorite School supplies . I will start with jesse. Jesse Favorite School supply . Binders full of women . [laughter] erasers . Pencil sharpeners . Juan what kind of school were you going to . Jesse of romney one. Kennedy who had a resume as a child . Sharpies, trapper keepers, and stickers. Greg sharpies to me there must be a club for sharpie addicts. I love these. Its not about the smell. The sound they make when you use them. Its beautiful and ive got to throw them out. Lisa i loved backpacks. Cute colors. In them when you get older, you have a cute little bag. Greg i like cigar boxes. We would use to get cigar boxes at the liquor store. Jesse and candy cigarettes . Greg 1970s. In the 70s, we didnt have real school supplies. That was your stuff. Juan i like those three ring binders. They were cool. Then you have those little circle things so the pages wouldnt rip. Greg oh, yes. Juan floppy disks. Greg a protractor. It doesnt get a lot of praise. Its a shame. Kennedy different colored pens, too. Greg this is interesting and i already know the answer to this. You all are stuck in an elevator. Who do you think freaks out or melt down first . Jesse greg gutfeld. Do we even need to say it . Greg this is the dumbest question ever because i would be i know i would. Are you claustrophobic . Me too. Kennedy trapped together on camera. I would probably end up having to eat you. [laughter] greg i dont want to starve. I would have to eat you even if i had my own lunch with me. I would want to save my lunch in case i got out. Juan this is typical. Any horror movie, the black guy always dies. [laughter] lisa so sad. Juan you wont have a shoulder to cry on tonight. Greg its time to move on. One more thing is up next. Jesse time now for one more thing. Williams. Juan the big topic has been where can you find a pair of Solar Eclipse classes . Amazon greg dont look at your tv juan hardware stores, 7eleven, nasa is handing out free glasses and so are some planetariums and students but if youre still looking, some might have a pair. Im told walmart, krogers. Be aware of people selling fake glasses that dont comply with safety standards. If you see a pair of solar sunglasses, please call me immediately. Kennedy i see some right now. Oh jesse talking to the folks about the eclipse, if they even know what it is.

A lot of people on twitter say they also have cigar boxes. Jesse not alone, greg gutfeld. Greg im not alone even though i feel alone. These people at juan is that a jackhammer . Jesse greg they were doa renovation. Lisa was that your name in high school . Greg i dont understand that meeting. Kennedy i love dogs. Bark in the park, it allowed dogs and cats to go surfing in a way to pool. You dont even need the beach to go surfing anymore. Raising money to raise awareness and pet euthanasia.

Toes on the nose, burroughs. Jesse they even have the eclipse classes. Jesse Jessica Evans has spent the past year visiting her little brother every time she sees him.

She would hide behind her mom or her car and surprise them. Very cute. So cute. Jesse im just upset because kennedy promised to make drinks for us after the show. And there was a verys national drink. What was it called . Kennedy the snobby girlfriend. Its muddled strawberry and lemon. Strawberry vodka, per seiko into a little bit 11a.
