But while president obama had growing reservations about bannon it was john kellys arrival as chief of staff who accelerated the timeline. Bannons departure was supposed to be announced earlier this week, but was pushed because of the aftermath of charlottesville. At the press conference this week it was clear something was up. I like mr. Bannon. Hes a friend of mine. I went through 17 senators, governors, and i won all the primaries. Hes a good person. He gets an unfair press in that regard. Reporter the next day bannon gave a stunning interview in which he attacked his colleagues and contradicted President Trumps north korea policy.

David the Democratic National committee release an outrageous statement in response to Steve Bannons out offer. It reads, and i quote, there is one less white supremacist in the white house, but that doesnt change the man sitting behind the resolute desk. Tammy bruce and charlie hurt. Tammy, the democrats have been crowing about bannons ouster. Not only was he a racist, but as i just reported, President Trump is a racist. Virtually anyone who supports donald trump is a racist. I harken back to the 1950s. There was a moment when mccarthy went too far where he essentially said everybody is a communist. Thats when people started to say, have you no shame . I wonder if we reached that point where nancy pelosi and the Democratic National committee is saying everybody is a racist. Tammy they dont know where to stop. We saw this last year. This is not a new attack. It culminated last year with hillary saying donald trump voters are deplorable and homophobic and exenophobic and xenophobe i can and sexist. Two days ago when the piling on began. It is bad enough to accuse the president of something thats not the case. But then they started saying these were his supporters. His poll numbers began to go up. Hes up in the rasmussen poll. 24 with these attacks. But i think when people see this and hear this, americans tend to generally be quiet if they are not on the far left or extreme right. But we do in the whats going on and we reject it and they find out in elections. The president should know americans reject the nature of this argument. And americans being called racist by pelosi and others know that it reinforces this is pretty much a lie. David beyond the shameless mccarthyism, there is the absurdity. You have Maxine Waters suggesting dr. Ben carson, an africanamerican is a white supremacist. Come on. This has reached a point of absurdity. Charlie thats why i dont take any of it that seriously. Average voter looks at this and they think they are watching a carnival unfold in the u. S. Capitol. Its insane. Tammy hit the nail on the head when she talked about the fact these people are not talking about steve bannon or donald trump. They are talking about the people who support them. They are calling those people racist. I cant think of anything more despicable or disgusting than looking into somebody elses heart and declaring you know they are a racist when there is no evidence to to suggest anything like that. Nancy pelosi just discovered 15 years after she became speaker of the house that there are confederate statues in the capitol and she want them taken out. David you have mitt romney essentially saying everybody from the other side, beside the racist and kkk protesting, they were all peaceful. There was nothing wrong with them. When in fact the police chief of charlottesville said they were mutual combatants. It was both side. Tammy its a shame with someone like mitt romney who i grew to appreciate and admire to fall so far because of being defeated by somebody they couldnt handle being defeated by. This is why he lost. The disconnection with the reality of whats going on on the ground. The people defending and cozying up with this antifa Group Without knowing the details will bemoan this because of the level of violence. David it may also backfire because there is journalist stick evidence to back up what the press is saying. The Atlantic Monthly not known as a rightwing rag. Their cover story this month was the following. The rise of the violent left. They pulled that as their cover story right after charlottesville, i believe three days later. But this article. Bbc had a piece. Antifa, leftwing militants on the rise. There is a lot of journalististic evidence that what the president said is true. Charlie you can see that president is right and talking to the people directly and going around the leftwing media. But hes up against a party, its republicans, too. But a party thats built an entire political establishment around thats based on color coding voters. Martin luther king would say is the definition of racism. They built their entire party around that. Its the only way they hold on to power. I do think that if thats what donald trump is up against in reelection he will win easily.

David President Trump saying the department of Homeland Security is on alert after terror attacks in spain. Obstructionist democrats he says make security for our country very difficult. They use the courts and associated delay at all times must stop. Joining me to discuss the Islamic State threat in europe and the travel ban and exit, former u. N. Ambassador john bolton. Lets start with bannon. I think what had more to do with leaving are this comment on north korea. He took the president , the commanderinchief and the secretary of defense and state to task saying there was no military solution to north korea. Downkorea. John i dont think there is anybody at the white house who is proposing the right policy for north korea. I think people are misunderstanding a lost what has been said about american retaliation if we are attacked. Thats not a tough position, thats basic. Of course, we are going to retaliate if we are attacked. David i would assume then that you were vehemently opposed the military action be taken off the table no matter what happened. They give the north benefits from wasting more time on futile negotiations. The only diplomatic play is to persuade china its in their National Interest to see the two koreas unified. Other than that, you have to say to yourself, you content to leave north korea with a capability to hit targets in the United States with Nuclear Weapons or to sell those weapons to iran or terrorists or others. If that means the use of military force, you have to look at it. Dont you think they believe we have strong generals in there all over the place in this administration. Plus you have a hardnosed president on defense matters. Dont you believe they would not wait until they shoot a missile before making sure they dont have a Nuclear Missile capability . If you look at the oped written by general mattice dave were we talked about it. The way i read it when they said we are in the for regime change in north korea, wing, wink, nod, nod. I dont think so. I think thats what they want. When you say to the North Koreans we dont want regime change, we do have concern about your nuclear capability. Its only a matter of time before the North Koreans answer of course, sweetie, when do you want to talk. David the president bringing up the issue of Border Security, is that fair . I dont think the Democratic Party as a whole and elements of the Republican Party understand that the only way to deal as a strategic matter with the terrorist threat is to treat it for what it is. Treating it as a Law Enforcement matter i think is doomed to failure. Thats the problem europe is encountering now. The difference, and i would dare say as terrible as the terror strikes here have been, they are nothing compared to the number and severity of the terrorist attacks abroad. I have to think thats partly because of the lack of Border Security with overseas. You know, now that they are in europe they obviously pose a threat to europe. But its one air plane ride away from come together United States. David you talk to Law Enforcement officials, one of the difficulties in track these people is they travel from country to country with no concern whatsoever. Part of problem is they trite as a Law Enforcement matter. That means you are playing defense all the time. And, you know, if you do that, we are going to be shocked and surprised by another attack in spain and a knifing in finland. It will go on as far as the eye can see. David i wish you a good weekend. Appreciate it. We are coming back with a lot more. Please stay with us. Vice president mike pence saying the u. S. Stands with spain as its rocked by terror. Whatever inspired todays terror attack, the United States stands with spain to find and punish those responsible. David north korea warning of an impending catastrophe if the u. S. Goes ahead with war games on monday. Well be right back with much more, stay with us. Today, were out here with some big news about type 2 diabetes. You have type 2 diabetes, right . Yes.
