Launch Breitbart News Today

Was able to sort of bridge this gap between, you know, the globalists and the nationalists if, you want to call them that, economic nationalists, and perhaps white nationalists represented by bannon as long as he was inside the white house, he could bridge those two because he didnt have to worry about bannon denouncing him to the public. its sort of what lbj has said about j. edgar hoover, better to have him inside the tent than outside the tent. tomorrow for the first time, donald trump has to...

Trade policy and they didnt build the wall. and he is hell fwoent try to be get his way by pushing on the out side of the white house. the mercer fortune will be behind him pushing this movement. one of the first showdowns were going to see in the fall is over funding that wall. i think youre going to see breitbart which is largely owned by the mercers and bannon which who is incredible propagandist pushing to get funding for building that wall and if they dont get it, i think theyll probably se...

Tonight. but heres the big question tonight. which i think we actually might be able to figure out with the right reporting in just a moment. why was steve bannon there in the first place? what was he there to do? and at whoms behest was they? and whatever he was sent to do, did he leave now because he accomplished it? there were a lot of other inexplicable people in the trump campaign and now in the trump administration and they fit another pattern entirely. russia, russia, russia. thats to how...

Right. you know, there are a lot of ideological news outlets out there in the world that are funded and supported by rich people who want to use them for crusading and stuff. breitbarts been pretty effective but i wouldnt describe them as a juggernaut in terms of being able to dominate the media landscape. theyre one factor among a fractured media landscape that is changing all the time. do you expect that sort of outside game, even if it does involve breitbart will also involve new efforts, new...

Past, a strange pick to run the campaign of the republican presidential nominee given that in his previous job he had done everything humanly possible to unseat the republican majority leader eric kanltor who was primaried out of his job. he did everything humanly possible to kick the republican house speaker john boehner out of his job and john boehner did leave his job as house speaker. and at the time steve bannon got picked to run the trump campaign, he was doing everything possible to unsea...

Humanly possible to unseat the republican majority leader, eric cantor, who in fact was primaried out of his job. he did everything humanly possible to kick the republican house speaker john boehner out of his job and he did leave as house speaker and at the time steve bannon got picked to run the trump campaign, he was doing everything humanly possible to unseat the next republican house speaker, paul ryan, the one who is still there despite steve bannons best efforts. thats what the mercer fam...

Have him inside the tent than outside the tent. tomorrow for the first time, donald trump has to deal with the very real possibility that steve bannon will go out and use breitbart and his other -- the other institutions that he helps to command to put real pressure on the trump presidency and perhaps try to break off certain parts of the people who support donald trump. >> its such an interesting idea about him having his own constituency and sort of a unique power but a unique form of leverage...

Had bannon using breitbart to do before they took him away from breitbart. now that hes done with the administration and back at breitbart as of tonight, is he going back to that war waging on the republican party? or is there some new idea? what happens with the secretive billionaire mercer family as a factor now, now that theyre back to paying steve bannons salary instead of us taxpayers? joining us is jane mayer. there was an incredible piece of reporting that im sure put you on the mercer ch...

The white house. and the mercer fortune will be behind him pushing this movement. i think one of the first showdowns were going to see in the fall is going to be over funding that wall and i can imagine, i think youre going to see probably breitbart which is largely owned by the mercers and bannon which is -- who is an incredible propagandist and i think they will see if they can shut down the government, play hardball like they did with bannon before and eric cantor. >> jane, im thinking about ...

Provocation? >> i think i have heard that theres some interest by bannon and seeing if they can kind of launch breitbart tv of some sort. i mean, theyre certainly not going to be alone in this field and you can take a look at rupert murdochs media empire and see that he also has a tremendous amount of quite a bit more power and he was there lobbying for trump to get rid of bannon. so, you know, they certainly wont be alone in this. but i think -- you know, the thing thats interesting about banno...
