and gina loudon on steve bannon's howie: joining us is gina loudon, a member of the president's media advisory council. so you have gone steve bannon for a long time. gina: i have. howie: how do you look at at way the media has viewed his leaving the white house. gina: they didn't like steve bannon before there was "breitbart." they didn't like steve bannon before there was president trump. they don't like steve bannon because he was on the ground with the birth of citizen journalism which has discredited so much of the old media. they hated steve bannon going back a long time. you add to that that he joins forces with a swamp drainer who threatens to dismantle media as we know it, then it was just a war. howie: this is a two-way war because bannon made it clear he has disdain for what he calls the opposition party. when he was at breitbart and the white house, i'm sure he will speak out against the mainstream media. are you suggesting this is purely ideological. the lack of or the wariness of bannon or the opposition, whatever you want to call it, because they don't like him personal

gina loudon thank you for a feisty appearance.ill steve bannon be leading a movement with his "breitbart" news? a senior "breitbart" editor is on deck. this is joanne. her long day as a hair stylist starts with shoulder pain when... hey joanne, want to trade the all day relief of 2 aleve with 6 tylenol? give up my 2 aleve for 6 tylenol? no thanks. for me... it's aleve. howie: "breitbart" news editor-in-chief raheem kassam from "breitbart" london. given steve bannon's extremely high profile, will "breitbart" news be seen as bannon news? >> i think that's what a lot of people will think. "breitbart" has a lot of different editors. it's never been and i don't think he want it to be the steve bannon news network. there have been people out there saying bannon this and bannon that. it's a team effort. we are a family. howie: one your editors wrote this week that bannon leaving the white house could be the beginning of the end of the trump presidency, the moment donald trump becomes arnold schwarzenegger as he did when he was governor o

gina loudon, political analyst and donald j. trump for president inc. campos duffy join me now. gina, i'll start with you. how much do you think we can thank trump's badgering, his bully pulpit for this announcement? [laughter] >> he did this with a tweet, gerri. [laughter] when you boil it all down to the fact -- gerri: oh, come on. >> how can you not enjoy his ability to use unconventional methods like a tweet? remember when obama brought $1.6 billion to the american economy? oh, wait. you know, this is the president. being innovative, being the businessman that his base elected him to be and getting the job done. if we stop looking at the avenues that he takes to get to winning, we could just look at the winning and be happy about it. [laughter] gerri: well, you make a really good point. you do. i was looking at the number of times the president met with business leaders, you know, ceos from the industries. since he's been in office, he's met something like 31 times, and he's not always nice to these guys. sometimes he kind of, you know, is sweet tal

trish: gina loudon is joining me. >> you disagree with that? trish: of course i disagree with that. i disagree with the premise you guys are floating everyone is racist. >> i didn't say that i don't believe that. but there is a core part, core part of the republican party that traffics in racism and -- trish: there is not a large part. of the democratic party, sir. hang on gina, that traffics what you know what. they were deliberately -- >> tell me a democrat that traffics in racism. >> tell me who they are. trish: there is nothing you can say -- howard dean. >> howard dean traffic in racism. listen to a president and. trish: many are looking at total eclipse here. we have the solar eclipse happening in washington, d.c. it is soon coming to new york city. i'm here with gina loudon who may want to take on scott bolden, he try to ensy this is rayist white how. >> i think that on this day watching this eclips scott put on the sunglasses. left will not end up identity politics. it lost the last election. it lost the civil war, right. so the left needs to have a moment where it needs to

gina loudon. i will not even ask jessica, because he would never do this, you never would?ong un, no. i would say a lot of things, that is going too far.ed? >> sean: if a conservative did k this, oh, there will be calls for boycotts, firings, and oh, my gosh, barack obama, bill clinton, that's what they were, appeasers to a rogue dictator, there will be a backlash. no backlash against this media? >> no, no backlash against the media, probably no reprisals on these individuals who would take these crazy stands.ls talk about who is crazy. they are more concerned, sean, about the power in their own lives and jobs and on the left than they are about to lives of american people. >> okay, the rhetoric about the comparisons to kim jong un, it is a stretch too far. but there are republicans who are opposed to the rhetoric that donald trump used. i know you're going to say john mccain is not a republican anymore because of what you did about the health care bill, but he is a republican. a former chief of staff coming out and saying that he is more concerned about the rhetoric that c

joining us from los angeles, gina loudon, and in new york, cathy areu. at do you make of mike pence pushing back so hard against this "new york times" piece that includes him in the maneuvering for 2020. gina: he's probably asking the question if he were not doing those things would the media criticize him for not doing those things, saying he's not fully on board with the conservative agenda. there has become such a chasm between the conservatives in general and the media at this point. but there is a distrust overall. everything the media says is suspect to someone like vice president nuke pence. howie: wouldn't any vice president keep his options open? the story doesn't say that mike pence is going to challenge trump. cathy: it was a story without facts. he did start a political committee. he is raising money. he hired a chief of staff that is known to be a campaign guy. his actions show he may be getting ready for 2020. it makes sense that he's upset because maybe it's the truth. howie: let me quote from the story. mr. pence has made no efforts to sep

clinton's national finance team, he is al mudder, and president trump media advisory board member gina loudongina, your reaction? >> i completely agree with what the president said, and i can't imagine anyone saying it better. and he went right back at this narrative that, you know, there's some reason for the president changing tones. the democrats only wish they had a candidate who could not be plastic and could empathize with the moment as this president has done. and it's like every time this president gives a speech, liz, he hands the democrats a gun, and they shoot themselves in the foot with it again. i don't understand. elizabeth: president trump said he used different tones, al, because he was addressing different audiences. is that -- what do you think of that? >> i mean, technically it's true, liz, but he's the only one shooting himself in the foot. he has very little credibility when it comes to his rhetoric. it's nice he gave a good speech talking about love and unity a couple days ago, but it's really hard to believe when a week ago he was sowing hate and division and propping u

joining me with reaction to how he may react, conservative political commentator gina loudon, latino victory fund president, cristobal alex. gina, i think the lieutenant governor of texas, dan the patrick, put it so well early in the show, basically this is not a time to see division, this is not a time to see right versus right. this is a time where texas, all of texas is coming together to help save lives and help hopefully soon rebuild. this is a state that is dealing with a horrible tragedy. what do you expect from the president when he and his life land there in texas tomorrow? >> well i think we'll see the same sort of compassion that, that we've seen from them going all along. every time there is a tragedy, i know, that, i'm so proud of the way this president so far has handled this. one thing he has done put brock long in charge from alabama of fema. i think that is great. i was there during the tornadoes that killed hundreds in alabama. you know, this man has experience dealing with all of this. i think that he will be dealing with it very well. there is one beautiful thing a

joining me right now conservative commentator gina loudon, former chair of democratic party in d.c. scott bolden. good to see you guys. gina, is there people wishful thinking among some members of the left they could see the republican party divided even further with vice president pence throwing his hat in thing ring against donald trump? >> well, that is just it. the republican party isn't divided. in fact the republican party is in a better place than it has been in a long, long time, trish. they have outraised the democrat party almost three to one i believe at this point. that is many small donations trish, which tells you the grassroots is all-in for this president and this administration. this is simply an attempt by "the new york times" just to undermine the success we've had on this side of the aisle. trish: i think you're right on the attempt to undermine but i wouldn't necessarily agree with you that everyone united as they could be. i think there are a lot of members of congress, a lot of folks are still very reluctant to be fully in for this president. this is one of the

trish: joining with reaction to that, conservative political commentator gina loudon and democratic strategist, michael star hopkins. good to see you both. criticism he did not say this over the weekend and some say basically it is too little to too late. why did it take him so long to actually specifically condemn these groups? >> there is nothing this president can ever do trish, that is going to please his haters. they, the deep state does not like that this president is in place and that nothing he can do will change that. had he come out right away, trish, i would maintain that if he had come out said exactly the things he now said everyone demanded they say, oh he is elevating these groups. he can't win with them. trish: is that true, michael, he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't? >> no it doesn't. took him two minutes to attack ceo of merck when he resigned from the president's committee. this is lay-up for the president. nazis are bad. racism is bad. we support all members of this country. he couldn't say it. trish: of course he believes that. if he, it is republicans who a

to the daily beast reporter betsy woodruff and gop john tatum and gina loudon. tax reform, are they going to get the big legislative victories in the face of all of this? >> well, i mean, the question might be how much have they accomplished so far? i mean this president has accomplished so much it's almost astonishing how much he's accomplished, completely without congress. so when you look at it like that, you think, gosh, they could be riding a wave of consumer confidence in the things the markets have done, rather than some of them breaking from ranks to stop and criticize the president whose managed to accomplish all of this without them. it's rather unfortunate they're not just banding together and riding this economic wave that could be -- prove successful for them as well. maria: now you are on the committee for the president's 2020 campaign, correct, gina? >> media advisory board. maria: what are you doing in terms of getting the president re-elected in the face of all of this criticism that's out there? >> it would be nice if when leftists' spiteful at
