face of it. now he s unshackled. he s liberated. can he do and operate however he wants. remember, this is not a person who is meant to serve at the pleasure of anybody. he ran breitbart like a dictator. he is a dictatorial type of figure so it makes sense it didn t work well when he had to report to a chief of staff and run his ideas by people before he could do them. he likes to operate freely. now can he and that s bad news for those remaining at the white house, bad news for congressional leadership, leaders like paul ryan, mitch mcconnell. it will make life a lot more difficult for the white house because now steve has no limitations, nothing holding him back. kurt, you know, you made the point that it s not clear that bannon ever really left. we were talking about this, never left breitbart which is an ethical question, whether he was still technically there. were you surprised he gave an interview to the weekly standard which he said the trump presidency that we fought for
bannon loved the idea. he believes fox is headed into a squishy globalist direction. tv needs advertising, it can t survive on the love of the people who don t like requesting the globalists and breitbart has had challenges with losing advertisers with anti-semitic, anti-black, you can continue along that vain. does it make sense, you re a businesswoman, does it make sense to launch an entire media platform if you re running people away by becoming more white nationalists? well hell hath no fury like a white supremacist scorned, so i don t know they re necessarily thinking rationally at this point, but i would say this. initially they ll have the money from the mercers, but at some point a television station is going to have to make money, to your point, from advertisers, and what the right is so upset about right now is that many democrats, many moderates are no
bannon s vision now that he s out of the white house? breitbart s washington correspondent trumpeted bannon s triumphant return to lead the friday editorial meeting after news of his ouster broke. bannon met with bright bar financier robert mercer to plan their ultra nationalist agenda. possible rival to the right s current media puba, rupert murdoch. tara dow dell, political consultant, charlie sykes, caton dawson, and david corn, washington bureau chief at mother jones. first to you charlie i have to read this quote. sometimes in this job we re called upon to read fun things. this might be the most fun of all. charlie sykes, this was steve bannon to the weekly standard immediately after his ouster. my producers left off one line. he said i m jacked. now i m free.
platforms, like breitbart they exist to does bannon s bidding. right now at this very second, you go to breitbart, there s a story out there they have on their homepage alleging there is some crazy ties to mcmaster and iran. this is exactly what they do. this is how they operate. they take their cues from someone like steve. there s the enemy. they try to dissect every single part of his life and create any type of scrutiny and controversy, anything that they can use as ammunition to try to take out their steve s enemy which is all one and the same. if you look at all the people speaking out, many of it is believed to be bots, a computer or whatever bot that retweeted fire mcmaster, whatever. how much of this is an echo chamber and does it really mean anything? regardless of whether it s an echo chamber or not, they know that the president pays attention to this.
presidency and many jobs in the administration still haven t been filled not to mention the people who have already been fired and replaced. according to our brand-new cnn similar srsrs poll, 62% of the americans think the president has done a poor hiring his team. steve bannon and h.r. mcmaster are reportedly locked in a power struggle. there they are, kurt bordello, former breitbart spokesperson and global affairs analyst kimberly dozier who wrote about this for the daily beast. kim, just as the president s new chief of staff seems to have found a way to tone down the palace intrigue coming out of the white house, this story breaks. so what is going on here? can you help us make sense of the feud between bannon and mcmaster? well, the story broke because a few people got fired and when people leave employment, they often have a story to tell or their friends are telling their
