Isis claiming responsibility, secretary of state Rex Tillerson with an we have now received word and confirmed the death of one american citizen in the terrorist attacks in spain, amongst those who have been killed. Were still confirming the injuries and deaths of others, but obviously we express our deepest sympathies to the loved ones, of this individual. Gerri sad news there. One american dead. The state department now confirming another american was injured in the attack. Former navy seal sniper, republican virginiqc congressman scott taylor with us. Five suspects dead, four arrested, another one on the loose. This sound like a terror cell. How are groups like this so far under the radar . Why dont we know about them ahead of time . As youre seeing gains in iraq and syria, of course getting their butt kicked there, youre seeing them pushing out, disseminate information, Lessons Learned on the battle field with vehicle improvised explosive devices which particular attack could have been that as well. They messed up with the probain tanks, whatever their safe house that they had. Youre seeing that information getting pushed out. Frankly. Very difficult, you will never have 100 security. You will never 100 be able to identify all these groups. But it is important that not only are National Intelligence agencies disseminating information, but sharing information, but local authorities, not just nation people, locals on the ground. They see something, say something. You have to have those layered, layered ability to disseminate information and create data point and be able to disrupt them. Gerri were hearing u. S. Government officials saying focusing on size of the cell getting details they can. c cia knew there could be a attack on las ramblas. This is the big boulevard where all tourists congregate, yet we didnt know, we didnt prepare, we didnt get ahead of the problem. What will it take for us to see around that corner and see in these cells . Again, you never will have 100 security. This is lowtech. Very difficult to figure out somebody jumping on a truck and a crowded place. That being said, you have to get cities involved as well too, and local Law Enforcement as well too, in terms of information sharing. You have to do lowitc being things like putting concrete bollards and jersey barriers. Having stand off areas that could potentially be targets. These are not expensive things. You have to disseminate information, that is a threat and message. Youre seeing drones used on battlefield with isis as well too. You can bet you will see that as well with some cells across the world. As we figure out what the methods are, what the threat is, tactics, that information has to be disseminated amongst not just nation states and localities in cities. Gerri understood. Information needs to be shared across the board. c what is interesting about this. This is pattern with isis. Vehicles, lowtech. Do you need a credit card . You need a tank of gas to carry this off, very hard to predict. At end of the day, what is your message for people out there who might be on vacation right now, in a crowded place. What do you say . There is nothing that replace as situational awareness. There are a lot of folks arent trained in that type of thing. You have to understand the environment around you as you talked about it. With las ramblas, there were folks from all over the world that was there. If youre on vacation, you better keep your situational awareness, understand what is going around. If you see something, alertc local authorities. Make sure you spreading message, something doesnt look right. No question. Gerri congressman, thanks for being with us today. Appreciate your time. Thank you. Gerri the u. S. Gaining ground on isis right . If you listen to this network you know that, more than half of isiss capital raqqa, retain by u. S. Backed fighters yet still able to inflict the kind of damage we saw yesterday. To former green beret ben collins to start the attacks. Lets start there. How do we stop the attacks . Were desperate for answers. Not easy to come by. Were not. As much asc pains me to say th, seal you had on before, congressman scott taylor, is exactly right. These things are so lowtech, the way within the past we were able to break into these cells, target these cells, when they start communicating with each other. So if you just look at, methodology, you know, via emails and via phones, we used to track that, maybe track the phones, listen in on the phone conversations. Now they moved into third party applications, messaging, that is secure, they can talk to each other, but even then we could perhaps getaway in there. Because of that territory been retakee in racca, certainly in iraq, you know, there was a point where the caliphate said look, dont come here to the caliphate anymore, just stay at home if you want to they put out monthly magazine. It is extremely difficult. Only way you stop it to attack the idea itself. Gerri that is some statement. Before we move on to that, isis is on the run, we really real hit them in the gut, right. They do that from where they live to track them where theyc are. They are running under a banner somewhere in raqqa you see them, you know them. You can identify them, but, if theyre just driving a car down the street, you dont know. No, you dont. You asked a great question, could you even use a credit card. Isis thought about that look if you dont have access to a credit card, here is how you break into a van, hotwire it and steal it. That dont even have that on record. Let me make sure that im clear, when i say the attack the ideology, im saying radical islamic fundamentalists, that these kids and these adults are getting sucked into, there are role models this need to be able to step in to say look c that is not what this is, this religion is about, or, somehow reach out to them, because unfortunately, you know, especially in europe, you look at the number of those countries of foreign fighters that when to syria an have come back, you look at places like brussels, that have just a massive influx of them. Gerri we need to reclaim this generation. It may take absolutely. Gerri may take Family Structure may take different offensive. I want to get to another question that is fascinating. I want your take on this. Cnns wonderful blitzer, i can say it, yesterday suggesting that the barcelonac terror attack, it could be a charlottesville copycat. Listen to this. There will be questions about copycats. There will be questions if what happened in barcelona, was at all, at all, copycat version of what happened in charlottesville, virginia, even though they may be different characters, different political ambitions. They used the same killing device, a vehicle going at high speed into a group, a large group of pedestrians. Gerri come on, ben. This is like textbook isis, right . Absolutely. That was the, that was,c lone wolf idiocy right there. The fact he was trying to make a political statement. He was trying to push a political agenda with that statement in of itself. The fact al qaeda, isis. Out of the al qaeda manuel, going back, you know, 15 years ago, talked about, using cars to kill and to maim and murder. Isis has now, a flashing magazine that goes out every month where they talk about these types of things. You look at london, on the london bridge, they targeted a high tourist area. They used a van. Couple month, summer, to nice, in nice,c france, where they ud a vehicle. That was just to me, there was just no place for that kind of a statement. Gerri well, you know, look, i dont think wolf blitzer is any idiot. I think he is very smart. That shocked me, surprised me, told me something about how a part of this word views this kind of thing. I was surprised. Look, this is becoming so common its, almost boring, right . You know what is going to happen in these big cities. You know what will happen where tourists gather. It is terrible. And ben, thank you so much, for coming on and talking to us about it. Really appreciate your time. Thanks, gerri. Gerri the dow, as wec said snapping a streak of 63 consecutive sessions without a 1 move yesterday. Stocks starting lower, well off the lows on axe videos report, decision decision on Steve Bannons future is imminent. There is uncertainty what is happening to the white house. Go to stock watcher and former trump surrogate, steve cortes. What do you say . Yesterdays pain in stocks, important to keep that in context, it was a bad day for the market, in context of a trump rally, really immaterial. Stocks veryc much believed in e trump growth agenda. We have to get tax cuts done. That is a major caveat to the growth agenda, as long as we do that i think we will in the fall, i think stocks have quite aways higher to go still. Gerri ended calmest stretch in 22 years when you look what happened yesterday. One of the things so interesting, sometimes the market doesnt react at all, right . We have major event. The market moves on. Why do they react yesterday . Mostly yesterday, first of all, obviously a horrific terror attack in europe, never good news. Something the markets become accustomed toc fortunately. It wasnt so much that. I think it was more about discord in the west wing. Worries about the effectiveness of presidency. I mention tax cuts, can they get that done. Will we get repatriation of profits trapped overseas because of our tax code . There were worries about the trump agenda, implementing it on capitol hill. I understand those worries, even though, i understand acknowledge them, im still optimistic. I still believe come fall well have serious tax cuts and tax reform. Gerri steve, youre ducking my question here about what is going on in the white house right now, and if were going to getc resignation announced from bannon. Lets talk about this this is highly controversial. Bannon himself out saying things about the white house, about the president , and now he is, the story in axios this morning he told friend he wants to go medieval on trump enemies. Were told he could be fired momentarily, john kelly is leading parade to get rid of hill. What do you say . What impact on the president , white house and the agenda . Well see. Gerri, reticent talk too much bit, im close to steve bannon, number of people involved in this. I dont want to speak publicly. A lot ofc this are rumors and sources say. Gerri market is moving on it. Steve, the market is moving on it, and youre in a perfect position here to tell us the true story. If you know him well, if youre close to him, to tell us what is really going on . To be honest i dont know. I dont know if he is going to be fired or not. I hope that is the not case. I think he is very valuable voice inside of the west wing. I think he is incredible leader of the campaign in 2016, what we pulled off. I think largely due to him. Most of all due to the president himself and biggest upset in political history. I dont know what willc happeno steve bannon. Markets will prefer he be gone, i certainly concede that the market are the worried that steve bannon is such a economic nationalist well have trade tension with china because steve bannon is powerful voice in the west wing. Markets would prefer steve bannon not there. Gerri what is what he is talking about china, how that needs to be number one thing. Well talk more about the bannon store as we go along. Steve, thanks for being with us, appreciate your time.

He will sit down with Vice President pence, the white house, on the fence today after weeklong battle with media critics on the left over president s response to charlottesville. Meanwhile, we have reports that john kelly, set to decide whether steve bannon should stay or go. That is at chief of staff, talking about steve bannon. What would the white house need for reset . Former bush 43 spokesperson mercedes schlap, former Trump Campaign manager, david bossie. This axios story, were quoting a singlec source, but appears o be moving the market the here. That is why were giving it credence, that john kelly may fire bannon imminently, at anytime and one of the things in this story you should know, trump suspecting bannon of leaking, it was said. Your reaction, her said . I think steve bannon played an Important Role during the campaign. He obviously understood what the plight of so Many Americans in Middle America were experiencing. I think that going from a campaign to a white house is a very different ballgame. Obviously when the person becomes the story, when the person or staffer becomes a distraction, it is very difficultc for the president to be able to voice and talk about his agenda. And so, i think, it is for general kelly to decide, what the future of bannon and where that will go. I think that the key and concern for some conservatives will be there need to insure that there is balance between what they call the globalist faction in the white house and those that focus on economic nationalism. So where bannon has been that voice. I think that will be the balance that general kelly will need to fine. Gerri david, there is another kind of breakdown here as well. Bannon very important to trumps baseq e. What impact would a bannon exit have on the campaign, on white house, the policy, the agenda . First of all i certainly hope that these rumors, which have been circulating for, you know, obviously quite some time, you know, are not true. However, steve bannon understands that everyone who works there works at the pleasure of the president. And so there are good days and bad days. Well have to see where this plays out today. Steve bannon is somebody who understands, you know, what the American People were looking for lastc november. And, he understood, like the president , see the president understands clearly where the American People are, and why he won the election, was talking to those rust belt workers, in pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, florida, north carolina, hey, iowa, and all gerri all over the country, frankly. Thats right. All over the country where we won in places that republicans hadnt won since the 80s. He understands that message. Gerri but fast forward, were in a situation where he may now be gone and this fellow known for publishing thec clinton cah book, as editor of breitbart, he was a hardright luminary, wellknown by the base. You have to ask yourself a question, the president s base always seemed rock solid but is it really, mercedes . I think the president s base is rock solid. They stand with the president. They feel there are unfair attacks coming from the left. I think they realize that the president is under attack from all levels, from the democrats and liberal media. And so i think that what is happening is, that the left media has taken force against steve bannon and anyone who serves the president. To the point that you have hafc even a tv host come out call all those people who support trump a racist. This goes back to deplorable comments, said anyone that supported trump was deplorable. That is insult to those people that have supported donald trump. Gerri that is absolutely true. You talked about, you know the assault on trump. There are weekly magazines taking the charlottesville controversy, causing their own controversies. Some on the right say these go too far. Take a look, look at that new yorker picture, the economist, mercedes, these are amazing to me. Basically putting the president together with thec kkk. Putting those in the same sentence. Let me go to you, david. How can the president push back against this media narrative. The . It is very difficult road because the Mainstream Media has created this situation by continuously harping on the president and instead of trying to come together, to heal, which was what the president i think has been trying to do. First i think the president can use his bully pulpit to say, that 99. 9 of the American People are inherently good. The people who showed up, the charlottesville, on both sides, and of course, it was led by this neonazi organization and organizers who are reprehensible to all us. Gerri right. That is what the president i think should do, is talk about the economic populism that he can do. The president had two very strong statements when the charlottesville incident happened. It is interesting that the media never felt president said enough. They were never satisfied. I go back to Jared Kushners opinion piece in the observer back in 2016 when he said, jared as you know, he isc grandson oa holocaust survivor, he basically said my fatherinlaw is not antisemitic, he is not a racist. These people know the president. David does as well. The fact that the president condemned White Supremacists. For the media they keep pushing this narrative. If the Trump Supporters and republicans dont push back, i think it will be more problematic. Gerri but heres the problem today. You have got to turn the page. Yes. Gerri you have got to move on. You have not just solidify the base. You have to bring everybody on board. Why . Because, what is at stake here . What is at stake . Tax reform . Getting ac budget deal . There is a lot
