policies and attacks immigrants, and we have to understand that white supremacy, white nationalism has an agenda, so it s right to protest the statues but understand the history, and so if we march there, we need to march on the congress and the senators, and say, do you agree with rolling back voting rights, because that s a white supremacist position. do you agree with attacking immigrants because that is a white supremacist, white nationalist agenda. do you agree with rolling back health care and living wages, because that s what white nationalists also want to do. do you agree with rolling back equal protection under the law, because that s what white nationalists do. so we have to make sure we don t take our eyes off the statutes that the statues represent. we know the justice department under jefferson sessions is backing an effort in ohio to purge infrequent voters off the rolls. they ve switched positions on everything from voting rights to
is going to have a limited viewership, but even now steve bannon is going to have an audience, because we re talking about him today, and our cable tv outlets are going to talk about breitbart that most of us didn t know anything about, outside the beltway, so the interesting part is, let s see what kind of juice steve is going to get outside. i agree with everybody on this, steve bannon is wicked smart. he s going to drive an agenda. the question is, is how powerful will that be beyond the coverage that he gets on cable tv and the coverage that we give him, how powerful will that be, and will mercer really pile a tremendous amount of money to try to compete against fox? again, i doubt that that will happen, but it s a good theory. and sinclair, the huge competit competitor. david corn i ask these questions. if you think about what breitbart did in addition to
cannot just condemn the extremeism of someone running a car through a crowd and saying, well, i m not like them. that may be true, and we should condemn that, but are you like them in your policy position? because over and over again, this week, notice what bannon is now saying. the agenda, he s saying trump is back, wither not going to allow him to back away from the age a agenda. he didn t say statutes. he said agenda. i ve been reading the writings and what the southern policy law center has to say, they are about an agenda. he says what drew him to trump was his agenda against immigrants and deportation because they see that as the first shot across the bow of the kind of war they want, the kind of strife they want, ethnosociety. it s not all white people. it s this brand of racist white supremacy and sometimes have black allies, joy, and that s the other side of it, and that s not a new phenomena, because
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.
is whether bannon can actually mount the type of war or offensive that people think he can mount. he has a difficult task. it s not easy to attack the people working for a president, without attacking the president, and when you attack donald trump, you know what happens, and so i don t see how he sort of goes after people in the west wing or people that trump may be working with, or parts of trump agenda, without trump starting to treat him the way he treats everybody else, and that leads to a civil war within the republican party, and within donald trump s base. most of the people who voted for donald trump probably never heard of steve bannon at the time, so steve bannon is a disruptor. he s like the joker. he likes chaos, but at the same time that may not be good for the party, may not be good for the trump presidency, although may be good for steve bannon s pocketbook and for the mercers. he doesn t attack everybody,
