me for this piece, my focus now after moore s blowout win is recruiting candidates to take over the republican party. yesterday the morning after moore s win, bannon flew from alabama to colorado and essentially started interviewing insurgent candidates for future republican primaries in places like nevada, arizona, mississippi, tennessee, to try and run the same play that he just ran in alabama with roy moore. you know, you wonder, though, if this is going to make the president side with steve bannon a lot more and not listen to his own advisors in the white house, that remain in the white house, even though bannon is out, because they re the ones, josh, who told him go with luther strange, go with luther strange. he did. strange lost. moore won in alabama. and he went to bed that night, quote, embarrassed and pissed according to an official close to the president. so does this mean he trusts
trump weigh into these races and if he does, does he go with the bannon candidate or the mcconnell candidate. what s the answer to that question? what is the president s current relationship with steve bannon? well, i know that they still talk from time to time. that s been reported in a number of places. i don t know how close they are. bannon told me he s going to war for trump, not against him, but if you look at what he did in alabama, he certainly went to war against trump s chosen candidate and beat him. so i m not exactly clear what their relationship is, but i do know that trump is very unhappy about the way things went down in alabama and i would imagine would be less inclined to go out and put his neck on the line to support a candidate who might lon a republican primary. the problem, though, for trump and the white hse is that it would be unheard of for a sitting republican president to
to deal with that as well. so it s multiple fronts that we re getting hit and for private organizations, such as google, twitter, facebook, that are very large social media presence and really the backbone of our tech, we really need to start focusing on how to do we prove information, validate information, how do we have, you know, teams that can actively look and remove information that isn t accurate in nate. one of the implications of that we want free speech and promote information out there, but these, you know, social media companies probably need to be doing more where they re coming from and the types of information that s happening out there. it s going to be a real tough road and something that other countries recognize as one of our largest weaknesses right now. david kennedy, steve hall, sobering conversation. thanks so much, guys. thank you very much. strike him down and he will be more powerful than you could possibly imagine. steve bannon, that s what they said af
bannon more on the outside than people on the inside of the white house in terms of who to back? i think what he learned from the alabama race was that he whoever wraadvised him to endor luther strange, whether jared kushner or whether it was mitch mcconnell or other folks in the white house, that was very bad advice and had the effect of hue mill tating trump. not only did the candidate that he flew down to alabama to hold an event for and endorse lose, he was really blown out and can by breitbart and the populist wing of the party which i think is where trump s heart lies, but now that bannon is out of the white house and some of his allies were pushed out too, i don t think they have quite the same access to advise trump on politics that they did and we can see the results in the alabama race. i think one of the interesting questions going forward is, you know, if bannon is able to recruit candidates to run against republican incumbents, which i think he will be, does
