we know he came from brietbart news. we're told he led the editorial pleading last night and he has said that he wants to go to war on behalf of the president, on behalf of those sort of nationalist populist policies that steve bannon himself has pushed but this could also mean that he has indicated that brietbart could go to war with some of steve bannon's professed enemies in the west wing like economic advisor cohen and as you mentioned victor, this is just the latest of several recent departures. i believe we had that fascinating picture of various parts of the president's inner circle who have left from formal national security advisor michael flynn after just 20 days on the job and sean spicer, reince priebus, who was the chief of staff both leaving in july. now steve bannon departing in august. the hope is certainly among john kelly and people who want to see the west wing function better is that this will lead to a better functioning west wing. >> all right. thank you so much. >>> well, hundreds of neo nazis expe

>> when bannon was head of brietbart, he said he was providing a platform for the alt-right. in some ways, symbolically that would be the case. in some ways, whether it was the firing or the resignation, "the new york times" is reporting that he submitted his resignation on august 7th and the president had waited to decide what he was going to do, he doesn't like conflict in his inner circle and i do think he appreciates some of the work steve bannon has done to help get him to the presidency. he wants to be the main event. regardless of what an advisor can tell the president to do, the president himself or herself in the future, they are the ones responsible for what they say. i don't know if this will help in the future in regards to dealing with crises like we saw this past week but certainly for the country i hope so. >> jon: i will read a quote from an associated press piece, she writes, one white house source twist the knife, bannon's departure may seem turbulent in the media but inside it is very smooth, he has no projects or responsibility is to hand off. >> that's a

he's obviously gone back to brietbart, he held editorial meetings.ing to use that platform. >> there's an old thing as a speaker and as a microphone for any agenda items that he doesn't support this president. >> will he be dangerous? >> it's hard to say. there's an old saying you don't want the result, you want the issue. they lost their issue, they lost their punching bag. demo the big problem with donald trump is he's getting cut off. trump is almost down to family. >> shake-up after shake-up. >> they need to bring in some old washington hands. he needs to reconnect with the washington environment. >> jeff not's wrong and what's really interesting he's declared war on the republican party in a respect. he's supporting the woman who is a primary sitting republican united states senator. he's gone after michigan mcconnell by names. steve bannon was never part of that republican party. >> see bannon still have his ear. >> what trump should have done is followed what bannon wanted to do. bannon wanted -- well. >> tear down the entire company. >> no. h
