Have ultimately been a decision that two men came to at the same time. Whether or not there was some thought, and if there was not consider about making the administrations life and the president s life more difficult, he might have been left it. Kelly was said to have delivered the news. It is unclear and unknown, its a wild card. He goes outside independently. Steve bannon is now a household name. There is people that will be
upset that he left this white house. I talked to a bannon ally earlier this week. They said we had a sense this is coming and we look at this white house now and we see new york democrats and generals. That is not what we worked for in 2016. Steve bannon is the leader of a coalition and it remains to be seen. Let me bring in jennifer reuben. The author of the post, so your paper is quoting friends of Steve Bannons assayi saying lo he can help the president s agenda from the outside, that things were not working on the inside.

president to deliver a message for television. chris: we have less than a minute left, mollie. he does have a good story to tell. economic growth is strong around the world. the u.s. economy is one of the driving forces for that growth. yes, and also when we cut our corporate tax rates, you saw other countries tried to cut their corporate tax rates to be able to compete. the rhetoric during the campaign was protectionist and antifree-trade. his policies have not been as bad. 30% tariffs. obama put 200% of tariffs on solar panels. a solar panel is not a huge part of the market but enacting tariffs is bad for american consumers and can hurt economic growth. chris: all right, thank you, panel. when we come back, remembering a marine who was truly one of a

remember that, as you said, macron s policies were diametrically opposed to donald trump, but trump has done some course correction since become egging president, accepting nato as a vital alliance. you know, he s a little bit sort of squishy on the eu, but perhaps he will hear from all his eu leaders, when he meets them, the vital importance of this western alliance for the economy, for security, for all the things that all the western democracies have to work with in common. but i will say this, macron did win a convincing win, call it even a landslide. it s about 66%, if not just a little bit more. marine le pen, the far right extremist some even call her a white nationalist, xenophobe, anti-immigrant, antifree trade has won even less than she expected. she says she ll completely rename, rebrand, transform her movement. nonetheless, she won 11 million votes, all to say that a
