Was right back at breitbart and full of action word quotes for the reporters who talked to him. He was greeted at his old shop with the headline, populist hero steven k. Bannon returns to breitbart. And trump was annoyed that he landed a Time Magazine cover which called him the great manipulator and told the wall street, im see saying that he is a guy that works for me. He is a good guy. And it was told the president didnt like the photo on the cover or the fact that bannons name was above his. Then the new chief of staff arrived, john kelly, the discipline and button down former four star marine general despite bannons years in the navy, the two didnt mesh. Politico said kelly didnt understand what bannon did and why he had a pr portfolio and why he seemed to cause so much trouble with colleagues and so widely disliked. And with then rumors swirling about his position, listen how the president responded when asked about them. I like mr. Brannon. He is a friend of mine. But he came on very late. You know that. I went through 17 senators, governors and i won all of the primaries. Mr. Bannon came on very much later than. And i like him, hes a good man. He is not a racist. I can tell you that. Hes a good person. He actually gets a very unfair press in that regard. But well see what happens with mr. Bannon. We all know how that ended up to mr. Brannon and in the business of politics where they do eat their young, there is already intense speculation over whether two other kind of bannonites, Sebastian Gorka and Steven Miller will be long for the west wing under general kelly. Immediately after todays bannon news, followed quickly by breitbart announcing the former boss was returning, bannon, who does not suffer from low selfesteem told a reporter, i feel jacked up, now im free. Ive got my hands back on my weapons. Someone said its bannon the barbarian. And im going to crush the opposition. No doubt i built a fing machine and were about to rev the machine up and rev it up we will do. He added this ominous claim. The Trump Presidency that we fought for and won is over. We still have a huge movement. And we will make something of this Trump Presidency but that presidency is over. It 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. Who said friday night lights, much to discuss on a friday night and lets bring in tonights leadoff panel. Kristen welker, who spent the day reporting from new jersey where the president had been staying during his working vacation. Hes already in camp david for the weekend. Jonathan la mere. White house reporter for the associated press. Philip rucker, for the Washington Post and jonathan swan, National Political reporter for axios. He reported early this morning long before bannon was gone that officials indeed expected him to be gone. Jonathan swan, i have to tell you, two nights ago you were here with us when bannon had given those two odd print interviews. Oddly empowered. And you were the first to make a point that looking at his quotes, he sounded like a president to you. You noted that the president didnt like that. It is unbecoming on other people that are not president , and walk us through today and the anatomy of this story for you. Well this was done long before today. Donald trump, we reported it on saturday. Last saturday, that donald trump is telling people that steve bannon was a leaker. He told multiple people that. I was told a few days later, he even told steve bannon that in front of at least one other person. And donald trump was fed up with steve bannon. He was saying things like who does this guy think he is. And he thought that steve bannon was a selfindulgent and had created this myth that he had built the election victory and that he was the architect and he very much resented that book that you discussed, the josh green book, that people close to trump believes it was a biography of steve bannon. And all of these things came together with a senior staff in the west wing that was entirely united against steve bannon. You described earlier Steven Miller as a bannonite. No way, it was Steven Miller at the end of bannonites. His loyalties were no longer with steve bannon. Steve bannon had two people in the white house that remained loyal to him by the end and none of them at the top ranks. So all of those things came together and people then, when john kelly came in, told steve bannon told john kelly that steve bannon was encouraging the outside campaign against general h. R. Mcmaster, kelly was stunned by that and horrified by that. Steve bannon told people he wasnt involved in that but nobody in the west wing believed that. But all of these things came together. He was fired. You hear the resignation. That was a facesaving conversation but he was told his time was up. And lets not forget, i remember that bannon said there is no military option in north korea. Said the man with no stars on his shoulder. That interview was [ inaudible ]. To be clear, though. I was still stick by my reporting on that story. That was the one interview that he really did not intend that to be on the record. That was purely bannon excited about a china ally and it was truly a blunder. That interview. It was on the phone with a veteran journalist with a progressive leaning website. Kristen welker in the flesh. I thought you lived in the television for a couple of months there. It is good to see you. And im reminded camp david with a day trip for an afghanistan meeting. President is back in bedminster tonight. So talk about bannons baliwick, chief strategist was an interesting title. A lot of people agreed he had no business on the National Security counsel, and he was kind of eased off on that early on. But how big of a gulf does he leave. Is the other way of asking. In one sense, brian, that was the president s touch tone to his base. He was the person who was there reminding the president of all of the reasons that he got elected and all of those promises on the campaign trail whether over trade or when he announced he was pulling out of the paris climate agreement and that was opposed by Jared Kushner and ivanka trump and the question is how much matter. And look at what we saw this week. The fact that he came out and made this very controversial comments about charlottesville, if you believe the timing of this, then steve bannon was already out when the president made those comments. When after the attack in madrid, you had the president come out and revive that debunked myth. That is all donald trump. That is not steve bannon. You cant point the finger at him for those actions. Again, if you believe the time line that he was already out. So i think that the gulf that he leaves is a big question mark. What will we see from the president s base . Will some of the support start to erode, but i dont think you will see a big shift in this president. Donald trump is donald trump. And you are reminding readers, the role during the campaign. He came in at a low. He and Kellyanne Conway came in late august and trump was trailing in the polls. And he encouraged trump to fight, fight and fight. And even harder than he did before and he shaped it is much more honed it as a populist nationalist view. And injected what some suggested were conspiracy before bankers and the elites. Some of it vaguely antisemitic, according to some. And he really honed the president s attacks on Hillary Clinton. That at the time trump was still sort of rewaging the primary and the attacking of the republican establishment. Bannon got him to focus on his democrat opponent and pretty effective at changing the narrative and i will never forget a week or so after the access Hollywood Tape dropped and women came forward and suggested that donald trump, what he had done he had done to them. Before the second president ial debate with Hillary Clinton. They had a surprise press conference from all of the women in a accused bill clinton of sexual abusing them. And i was part of the crew that day. There is footage of me and other reporters with our mouths open and hard to believe. Philip rucker, you get in many ways the hardest question. This verbiage from bannon about the fight and his weapons and about the presidency being over. This is a guy referred to the west wing democrats, very der e derivesively, and tell me what that means and who has the most to lose and worry about with him on the outside, keep your fre d friends close and enemies closer. Well, i believe that general john kelly removed bannon, and fired him in order to instill order and discipline in this white house. I dont know how long that is going to last. Because bannon is signaling that he will wage war with his former colleagues from the outside. And we know that for months now hes been feuding with Jared Kushner, the president s soninlaw and Senior Adviser with gary cohn and with hr mcmaster and another general and the National Security adviser and i think he will continue to do this from the outside, his allegations with telling me and my colleagues and other panelists here that bannon is going to go to war over this agenda and fight to try to keep trump honest with his Campaign Promises and to encourage his fascist impulses from the outside and we should remember that bannon will still have a connection to trump. Remember cory lewandowski, the campaign manager, he was fired from the campaign but he continues to talk to the president to advise him and formally he has his cell phone number. I expect bannon will continue to have some link into trump himself personally. Mr. Swan, i know you dont work for the culture section at the newspaper, but this attack from the outside and bannon mentioned cnn, singling out a network and corporate and political types and he is going after the president s sitting soninlaw, and Senior Adviser. Wont that make for such an increased toxic environment just generally as we go about the next few months . Well, yes. On the outside it will. There wont be as much toxicity inside of the west wing. But absolutely. Steve bannon gave this quote, i cant remember which publication. Im going to war for donald trump against the media the corporates and capitol hill. He left out the people in the white house. Hes going to war against. I expect breitbart will go even more Thermo Nuclear against mcmaster, gary cohn and dina powell and jared and ivanka were a third rail and breitbart didnt touch them even though privately they would call them the west wing democrats, they didnt touch them but they started to hit them in the last few weeks and it will only be turned out. And i expect they will engage very quickly in a campaign to remove paul ryan from the speakership. They will go full on against paul ryan. And i expect that there will be a big investment in breitbart, an extra investment there the from the mercers. This is all just dialed up and up. And philip, back to you, the world is upside down. A. , how will the president take those attacks on his remaining people and b. , guess who you need to get legislation through . The speaker of the house. It is a big point that you raised about the agenda which frankly is in shambles at this point and the departure of steve bannon has an impact on the hill. Close to a congressman named mark meadows house of the Freedom Caucus and that is the group of antiestablishment and hardline republicans who very much need to be a part of any coalition to pass tax reform or to pass infrastructure or anything that trump wants to get accomplished and without bannon in the white house, those lawmakers dont have a natural ally to advocate for them and to smooth to smooth out the negotiations. Jonathan la mer ooe the New York Times, you may know her, maggie haberman, writes about the bannon firing. Some close to bannon are fuming, wow, what is wrng with me. Seeing him as the distraction to switch topics for the day. Just reporting as to just say, dont shoot the messenger. As shiny objects go, this would be a big one on a friday. That is. People have been talking about steve bannon for a long time. Democrats have made him enemy number one and in many cases more than the president for a long time. This is a this is a loss that will resonate. This is a significant blow to the imagery of this white house going forward. Having said that, charlottesville is not going anywhere. There are more protests planned this weekend by white supremacist groups in cities across this country. The president s words, were seeing more and more of his counsel disbanded, Business Councils leave and as the ceo and chief, that is a devastating blow for him. We still have major Foreign Policy decisions on horizon. But this is something here, charlottesville, that is going to stick with this president for a long time. And we will see if more and more republicans, who we started to see yesterday with bob corker being the hardest hitting suggesting didnt have the temperament for the job and will more members of his own party defect . And for the sake of two strike a blow for press freedom and saying the white house is not allowing the media near the bedminster golf resort. They are in a separate town, 20 minutes from the area if traffic is good. So if we see kristen welker, it has nothing to do with the man you are covering any hoo, and military action, and potential military action for venezuela and now charlottesville. And there was a big discussion about the strategy moving forward in afghanistan today. This is the working vacation. We thought it would be slower. We were of course wrong. To the point that jonathan is making though about charlottesville, even though our reporting shows that that is not the reason that bannon was ousted, you did have a lot of republicans saying that it is time for him to go. That he represents this alt right factor of the white house and it was time to get that out. So the question becomes will the president be able to mend some of those fences because as phil was talking about his legislative agenda is failed. One senior telling me if they cant get tax reform done it is devastating for republicans and one more point i will make. This speaks to the fact that general john kelly is making it clear, there is a new sheriff in town. How much influence will he be able to continue to have in the wake of this bannon ouster, this is his decision, he recommended this to the president. The president accepted the recommendation, but this was very much driven by john kelly. Let me say to our viewers from you are watching from a Vacation Home in august. Join us in silent thanks for our topflight initial panel tonight on a friday night in august. Kristen welker, jonathan la mere, philip rucker, and john swan, our great thanks to you for giving us part of your friday night in august. Coming up after the first break. Remember when nothing ever happened in washington on friday in august. We dont either. Our nightly chronicle of the new normal, the late night endeavor we like to call the 11th hour will be right back after this. Welcome back to our friday night broadcast. Another shake up in the west wing and another of the president s top advisers to leave his side. The core around this president has dwindled to what you might call friends and family now. And a general. This is the gathering around the resolute desk in the oval office on january 28th. President was on phone with putin. All of the people in the photo are gone. Except for the president and vice president. Theyve all joined the list of the vaporized. Two great columnists are with us to talk about it. Clarence page, Chicago Tribune is back with us tonight and endeara loxman on boston globe, chair of journalism ethics at the pointer institute. And good evening to you both. And clarence, what does the Organization Chart look like at this place these days and is chaos just going to be the norm . Im imagining a bowl of spaghetti right now, brian, as far as the organizational chart goes. Weve become accustomed to the stories of chaos coming out of the white house and i cant imagine anything different now but im happy to see john kelly asserting himself if that is what is happening and it looks like it has. He looked quite forlorn the other day on the side lines while President Trump went on and on with his argument that both sides were at fault for the violence in charlottesville. This is a sort of thing that kelly and the Trump White House really dont need right now. But President Trump sort of enjoys it and so did steve bannon. And that is the sort of thing that i dont see much of a change coming ahead with that. The discussion you just had was very illuminating in regard to bannon wanting to wage war against his rivals, foes, adversaries over in congress and in the white house and in the media. But that is what hes been doing all along and you see the results. The administration is not getting much done. So i dont see much of a change from that in the coming months. And endura, josh green who wrote the book about bannon that rocketed to number one on amazon and has enjoyed a good run prior to the departure of mr. Bannon, wrote about bannon on bloomberg today. Before i ask you a question, i want to read you. Holiday banons path from trusted attack dog to toxic liability, the cost of bannons failure to adapt from campaigns to governing became evident on friday. Ignoring by john kelly to cease the warfare through the Trump Presidency and bannon gave a rare interview to a liberal policy journal in which he vowed to out. The state and Defense Department who he claimed were wetting themselves over some of his plans. And how can you govern this way and was this ever going to end any other way . Well, look, brian, i want to say that i think that trump is always going to be trump. And for people to think that john kelly is going in there and somehow cleaning house, i just i think it is the wrong frame through which to be looking at this. I think you cant clean house for somebody who doesnt want their house cleaned. This is the way donald trump likes things to be. He likes chaos. This is the way he works. And frankly speaking, i dont think we should think there is any less of a bond between him and steve bannon because steve bannon is on the outs. As one of your previous panelists pointed out, there are many people who he had to cut ties with very reluctantly who he still continues to keep in touch with. Cory lewandowski is one of them, his one Time Campaign manager and he kept in touch with Michael Flynn for ages after he had to cut him off as National Security adviser. Roger stone and there are plenty of people who cut loose and who continued to be part of his inner circle and steve bannon in an interview with my old colleague joshua green said, giving a really telling quote saying, just to be clear, im leaving the white house to go to war for trump against capitol hill, the media, the globalists, so i think hes still very much on Donald Trumps side, and is going to be fighting that war kind of completely unleashed and unplugged on the outside now. Clarence, because youve been around washington for a while, i feel like making the point about how covering president s has changed. We havent seen him since the illfated press appearance in the trump tower lobby, but with the kind of holy trinity in his life of his cell phone, a cable tv box and a wifi password. He makes sure he stays in the news. Yeah, he does. And he seems to do a better job of making news than following the news. It is rather remarkable to have a president who seemed to prefer getting briefings from cable news, particularly fox news, rather that his president ial daily briefings from what we hear. And this is also he has been more isolated from the press than previous president s. And even to to turning down the gridiron dinner the first president since Grover Cleveland to skip that dinner and skipped the white house Correspondents Dinner and very loyal to his friends. And like indira said, she hangs on to lewandowski and it doesnt help him get his bills through congress. And i hate to end on a negative note but the question in our first segment, breitbart, mr. Bannon et al. , do have the ability to launch a toxic, very public war on some individuals with stories true or not that will get a big, long ride and that is not going to be pleasant for americans to live through on top of everything else. I think it could get really ugly. He is now back in the hot seat as you say, jacked up at breitbart and he could use the power of that media against his enemies who are back in the white house. But i also think we should keep an eye on fox news and what happens on Rupert Murdochs show. I was interested in the email that went out yesterday about how appalled he was by the president s racist comments and his 1 million donation to the adl and the same week that the murdochs paper published government documents from australia showing trump was not able to get his casino in australia in the 80s because of concern over mob ties. So embarrassing stuff in murdock land and i wonder whether we might see fox news maybe subtly turning against him in some way. So it is interesting to see what happens to right wing media in general. Thank you to our friends clarence and endura. Coming up after the break. There were a few democrats who called for steve bannon to be fired repeatedly after his hiring was announced and then was the junior democratic senator from the great state of hawaii. She joins us from there when we continue. President s send clear messages about their intentions by who they appoint to senior positions. What steve bannon believes is not a mystery. He has demeaned women, advocated for White Supremacists and promoted antisemitism. And that is mazie hirono, last september calling for steve bannon to be fired days after being offered the white house job and she joins us live from honolulu and senator in addition to thank you for joining us, leadoff question, what do you think this changes anything. First of all, aloha, the president rearranged deck chairs on the trump titanic. All he wants but the problem is him and his inability to focus and his attacks on anyone who disagrees with him and i am not holding out hope he will change. And have you been amazed as a member of the u. S. Senate to see mcconnell, flake, john mccain, graham, republican senators, the president s own party attacked by him . I think that the president basically attacks anyone that he thinks attacks him or criticizes him. Im happy that there are some republicans who are stepping up to criticize the president and his basically fitness and his moral authority to be the president of the united states. Senator, i have to ask you about north korea. Because it is it is closer than it is for us and it is more personal im guessing for your constituents on hawaii and as i a member of Armed Services how did you watch all of that verbal war go back and forth, feels like a year ago, it was last week. I dont think it helped at all that President Trump went to the level of kim jongun and the kind of the verbal exchanges. It didnt help. But what it shows is how important pursuing a diplomatic resolution to this conflict is and i stayed in very close touch with our pacific command. In fact i got a briefing along with some of my colleagues from the senate yesterday from admiral harris about north korea. And so while the people of hawaii are concerned, we are not panicking. And senator john mccain and you have both been going through round one of chemo. Something that links you across the aisle and the senate in addition to being friends and colleagues. I have to ask, how is your health . Im recovering, but i am well. Believe me, there are so many battles to fight that it just it just keeps me going. There are new assaults on body of politics every single day from this administration so it energized me. Not to mention that i hear from so many people saying we have to keep fighting and i will. Well, senator, early evening on an august friday night. And in paradise. Thank you so much for finding time to join us. Thank you. And as you always say to us aloha. Aloha. Senator mazie hirono, democrat of hawaii, joining us from honolulu. After another break, more members of the president s own party speaking out against his response in charlottesville. More on that when were back. Welcome back to our broadcast, the rise of senators calling out the president for the handling of charlottesville grew by one today. Senate majority whip john cornyn, notably became the first member of his Party Leadership to condemn the president directly. And in an interview with the Houston Chronicle he said the president missed an opportunity to unite the country but some of the harshest criticism came from standard bearer mitt romney. As you may read in a blistering statement on facebook, he called on trump to apologize to the american people. He wrote in part, whether he intended to or not, what he communicated caused racists to rejoice and minorities to weep and the vast heart of america to mourn. His apologists strained to explain what we heard and what we heard is now the reality, and unless it is addressed by the president as such, there may commence an unraveling of our national fabric. And it was senator bob corkers remarks that paved the way for others to come out now and express their distaste for the president s actions and specially republicans and members of the senate. He chose his words so carefully yesterday, talking to reporters back home in tennessee. I do think there need to be some radical changes. The president has not yet has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability, nor some of the competence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful. He has not demonstrated that hes he understands what has made this nation great and what it is today. And hes got to demonstrate the characteristics of a president who understands that. And without the things that i just mentioned happening, our nation is going to go through a great peril. That gets your attention. And earlier today in this very room on the air was nicole wallace, her fellow veteran of the John Mccain Campaign and life long republican Steve Schmidt picked up on those ominous words from the senator while calling the other republicans flat out cowards. Good for the chairman of the Foreign Relations committee that he said it because they are cowards, nicole. Simple as that. You would see the yellow streak running down their backs and when you look at the behavior, the lack of rectitude on the commander in chief, of course the nation is in peril. We live in profoundly dangerous times and when you see someone acting with the recklessness and the lack of preparedness, the possibility of their being great tragedy should not be should not be lost on anyone. That gets your attention as well. And joining us tonight, to talk about it, correspondent edward ike isaac, and Christina Bell bellantoni at the New York Times. And isaac, will we start seeing a trickle you think, to listen to both of those men, Steve Schmidt bleeds republican red. He is mourning for this wing of his party. And it is more than that. It is not about politics here. You see words like unraveling of the fabric. A great peril. This is no man is an island but donald trump is getting close here. And why . Because there could not be anything more simple on moral grounds one would think and certainly on political ground that saying nazis are bad and White Supremacists are bad but the president hasnt been able to muster that and does not seem to be in any mood to change his public stance on this. We had four days in a row since the press conference where weve seen no Public Comment from the president and tomorrow he has no public schedule and well go a week after the nazi march in charlottesville without hearing a full throated condemnation and more than that if what the last couple of days have told us are to be predicted of the future. Christina, there you are several time zones away and was the shock and awe and reverberation the same in realtime as we sat in our offices here in new york and watched the president as words from the lobby of trump tower . Oh, absolutely. I mean, particularly with our audience in los angeles, these are people that have been apprehensive about President Trump for the most part. California did not support him. Although it is important to point out that he got only second the state where he got the most raw votes actually is california behind texas. Because we have such a giant population here. But it was not something that was welcomed here and particularly this weekend theyre expecting to have one of the socalled alt right rallies in laguna beach, california, this is a volatile situation and people are watching it very closely and were covering what the republicans are doing right now very closely and in california youve seen former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and many republicans in the legislature sing a much different tune than some of the National Republicans and they have condemned him very specifically for what he is saying this past week. And boston is worried this weekend as well. So isaac, here we have bob corker. A thoughtful guy in the senate and known as a worker bee. In a ballroom, i believe it was in nashville, prior to a luncheon starting with local media reporters that he knew. And microphones whose logos he recognized, but pausing regularly and for a long time to measure his words. Is that a turning point . Will you know what a turning point looks like if not that . It does seem like it is a turning point. And look, we saw also pat toomey from pennsylvania tweeted earlier today we have that. He said it is great that steve bannon is gone. But you know what, right after the election when steve bannon was appointed there were local press in pennsylvania that asked toomey what he thought of it because he was reluctant to say he was voting for trump, and he said he would not have a comment on steve bannon being appointed. So now you do see movement going on. It is not exactly a rush to condemnation and not a lot of profiles and courage and i dont think you would call any of these at this point. But if this continues what starts as a trickle could become much more than that and where that leaves the president. Dont think any of us know. The amount of courage that it takes to Say Something on twitter is a as someone who tweets a lot, it is not courageous work. It is what they say when they come off of recess and go to washington, d. C. Christina, you have so many congressional districts in that state. Obviously the whole house is up in 2018. You are having a science experiment out there on people who take that deep breath and run with trump, run the other way or try to get it right down the middle, and are not a profile in courage at all. A good example is darrell issa, he had a very narrow reelection win in 2016. He called for hearings on White Supremacy yesterday. That is not an accident. Hes facing a tough reelection battle. The democrats have to win the seats in california, the path starts here in california. Which isnt usually the case. But i will point out, these republicans, this is exactly what they were afraid of during the campaign trail privately before the primary or during the long primary. They didnt want to be constantly put on the defensive and asked to respond to the latest thing donald trump tweeted or said. But they werent publicly saying anything until those access Hollywood Tapes came out in the late fall and then they didnt actually do that much in and many of them were on a broad spectrum. Well i will vote for him because hes the republican nominee and im not going to vote for Hillary Clinton or im going to vote for a libertarian or not going to vote for that particular office. And so here they are many months later and theyre back in the same position that many of them feared privately they would be in and constantly responding to it and it is distracting it the agenda they would like to perceive. And great thanks you. Isaac and christina, two fine people on both sides of your screen. Thank you. And another break for us. Were back with more right after this. Welcome back to our broadcast, put it this way, the korea crisis of just last week was replaced in the news by the charlottesville crisis of this week and yet, the russia investigation continues. There is a report on buzzfeed tonight that donald trump jr. Has become a focal point of Robert Muellers investigation. It says that prosecutors are quote bears down on the son, trying to figure out his intent when he attended a meeting where he was promised dirt on Hillary Clinton in support of the trump campaign. With us tonight to talk about us, our friend jill winebanks, and current msnbc contributor. Counsellor, thank you for joining us on the broadcast. Why does intent matter . And why does it apply to donald trump jr. . Intent is one of the elements of a crime and so the prosecutor will have to prove it. So i think if we read just the emails all by themselves, there is enough to show intent. The letter from his friend makes very clear that it is the russian government that wants to help him. That they want to give information that will hurt Hillary Clinton and help his father. That they are russian government documents. That a russian government lawyer is coming to deliver them. And that makes it very clear that he intended to receive something from a foreign adversa adversary, from a Foreign National and he went ahead with it. Not only did he go forward with it but he said great, later in the summer. He was plotting on when it would be released. I think one, he knew it was a Foreign National and two, he had the intent to receive such information. And i think that is a pretty clearcut case. And it is something that has to be fully investigated, of course. And the same is true for manafort, they saw the same information and went to the same meeting. Now everything you learned about the meeting we learned about on kind of a rolling disclosure evolving description basis. It changed dramatically from the first word of the meeting. So what i have been wanting to ask you is, is that considered suspect or antagonizing behavior when you dont tell everything and it comes out in drifts and drabs, if youre mueller . Well, two things, one it clearly makes you look guilty just in a normal light. If you had a conversation with somebody and you say you went to a meeting because you wanted to buy a piece of bread. And you saw their grocery list said i want to buy a bottle of champagne. You would not believe them. You would believe what you read. And it makes them look guilty, when they said it was about adoption, and apparently the donald Trump Presidency is partly responsible for having that put out that it was supposed to be about adoptions. First of all, adoptions is a code word for sanctions which it was improper for them to be discussing so that would have been wrong, too. But its clear if you read those emails in the proper order, and when donald trump jr. Released them he did it in reverse order so its hard to follow. But if you read the New York Times it had it in the correct order. And it makes it very clear this is not about adoptions, it is about getting Opposition Research that will help Hillary Clinton and hurt donald trump in becoming president. Our very great chicago counsel. Well have another break and be right back after this. Chances are, the last time you got a home loan, you got robbed. I know i got a loan 20 years ago, and i got robbed. Thats why i started lendingtree the only place you can compare up to 5 real offers side by side, for free. Its like shopping for hotels online, but our average customer can save twenty thousand dollars. At lendingtree, you know youre getting the best deal. So take the power back and come to lendingtree. Com, because at lendingtree when banks compete, you win. Last things before we go tonight, after charlottesville, a lot of people abandoned trump tonight, ceos made history by abandoning a republican president. Another panel on infrastructure fell apart before it was put together. Members of the arts were the latest to leave today, along with a very important name added to the list, carl icahn, from new york, generous with his money. He resigned as special adviser to the president on regulatory reform. He insists he is gone because of a potential interagency turf battle, not the normal hate groups. And whatever has trumped up his good friend on the campaign trail. Carl icahn endorsed me, im going to get him involved with china. I got carl icahn. Carl icahn is supporting me. You know i have carl icahn ready. Killer. You take china, trade with china. The reason behind their vote. Its clear his validation was important to donald trump. Just something to keep in mind in case over the next few days you hear the president say about mr. Icahn, he joined later in the campaign but hes good guy. Look at the time. Thats our broadcast on a zpritsds for this week, thank you for being here with us, goonts from nbc news headquarters here in new york. Tonight on all in i like mr. Bannon. Hes a friend of mine
