we still have a huge movement but that presidency is over, there will be something else. and there will be all kinds of fights and there will be good days and bad days but that presidency is over. were you surprised he gave that kind of an interview? no, because i think in some ways he s also speaking like everyone to a constituency of one. he s reaching donald trump through his favorite vehicle the press and sending the message that the support that he had from breitbart, the cover that they d run for trump whenever anything bad would go on, that that s in jeopardy right now, unless president trump adheres to the ideals and the rhetoric that got him elected in the first place. think bannon s fear is that with these west wing democrats surrounding trump, trump will try to moderate and move to the middle to try to achieve something and steve is sending out the message to donald trump if you do that, breitbart will be there, they will attack you and send a message to their base, to
trump s staff. i don t think bannon s going to target the president personally and that these sites, i don t think they have as much sway with a lot of the hard-core voters as they would like to say. if you read the comments section on breitbart, which i do periodically. why would you ever do that? reporter: because sometimes you need to steer into the abyss, and clearly, those who follow breitbart still support trump and a lot of this is sort of railing on one side or another. i do think the people around trump have a lot to figure. that bannon s not going to burn the whole house but part of it down. we know of several people he s clashed with in the administration including jared kushner. reporter: right. congratulations on yet another scoop. will bannon s firing help president trump regain ground lost with the public after his charlottesville remarks is next. stay with us. (burke) at farmers, we ve seen almost everything
a place for mom. you know your family. we know senior living. together we ll make the right choice. shepard: steve bannon out at the white house. josh is here, senior reporter at politico. pretty beg move fraught with peril. it could impact policy areas and steve bannon held the line for the trump campaign policies for the populs areas in taxes and probably in the area of military as well. bannon was skeptic about the long wars that the u.s. was engaged in, in afghanistan and causing trump to hold the line on immigration. but don t think bannon is out of
on north korea which he did speak extensively about, he totally contradicted the president. he ridiculed his position. the president is going around saying he continues these threats, fire and fury, were going to retaliate. it s idiotic, there s nothing we can do, we are done. it equates kim jong il noonan president trump, that i think is the most damaging part in terms of his standing with the president i m not sure he surprises that. i do think bannon is right, he suspected a lot of people that trump white house agreed. we don t have a possible military option, the costs are too high for a first strike, it is notable that senator lindsey graham recently spoke to the president. i think what bannon is saying
someone so close to the president would go after and try to suppress articles being written by third parties even though he worked there? i don t think he would have the power to do that. rob: really? you don t think bannon has any tentacles at breitbart? brooke: if he does, would he be exercising that authority? rob: there was reporting that bannon went out of his way to try to tamp down the whole supposedly viewed with reince priebus. brooke: to stop stories about being stories about mcmaster being published. they are saying because he didn t censor it, then there s a schism there. the other thing is, the message of the the message the american people are getting on both sides is that those in the white house are more concerned y politics than they are with national security. when you have this amount of leaks come out of the white house, it s a really scary thing. rob: i think that so many
