steve bannon crossed a line which is criticizing trump's children. loyalty is obviously important to donald trump, mostly loyalty towards his own family and towards anything named trump. he went after ivanka trump, steve bannon did during the alabama race where he said there is a special place in hell for republicans who questioned roy moore. obviously making a reference, a direct reference to ivanka trump and nowy hoo said -- what's his name? baby trump was going to crack like an egg on national tv. that was an image, isn't it? >> right. right. right. but professor to you, on the mobster piece of the reporting that bannon and this research was about trump ties to mobsters and it wasn't too long ago like last week when we were talking about the michael wolff book and about how bannon was quoted about talking about money laundering connected to the trumps. >> these are stories that if you followed donald trump pre-presidency and followed him in his new york days were always circulating. so it's not that much of a surprise that this is part of what bannon picked up in his opposition research and it's also a reminder that bannonism was not tied only to donald trump. he was looking and his su

environment, and a big part of the book shows the battle between the forces of steve bannon and jared kutcher and ivanka trumpand steve bannon with the paris accord says this, it was like wide the move ivanka trump campaigned hardest against in the white house, score, said bannon, the bitch is dead. >> steve bannon has no problem in the book, a mouthing off abo the president and the president's family and aides. we know from reporting and everybody else who was able to gain access to the white house there has been a huge feud and a power struggle. that's one of the reasons john kelly was brought in as chief of staff to try and quell some of the massive infighting that takes away from a good point ron made which is the white house's ability to roll back obama regulations and appease the base. bannon is in trouble for mouthing off against the president himself, so he says what he wants and it has gotten him in trouble. >> continuing on that theme and the use of the words death match between them, let me just read this. part of the now deep animosity between the family. this was not in other words merely an inte

ivanka trump will be standing next to him in too many bridges. but it was his warm the doe —— it was his war against ivanka trump and jared kushner. when steve bannono take other people within, the stuff about kids committing treason and that donald trump might be done for financial fraud and that he should be impeached for being mentally unfit to hold office, you know, he will not be welcomed back, unless donald trump really needs him for election. if he is still there. this book has become a bestseller before it is released because the advance orders we re released because the advance orders were so released because the advance orders were so intense. anyone who got hold ofa were so intense. anyone who got hold of a copy, was sticking their pictures on facebook today. if they had a kindle version. how wise is it to turn on someone who knows so many of your secrets? there is the argument that potentially, some people around him, like steve bannon, considerwriting people around him, like steve bannon, consider writing on the wall, and if you think he won't last that long, he will think he can use his time wisely —— can see the writing on the wall.

steve bannon. makes startling claims about ivanka trump and as steve bannon referred to them as javanka powerful coupleng-term goal as ivanka trump as first female president. according to the book, he says the daughter will bring down the father. so i have with me two of my favorite kate. bennett and anderson contributor and author of the residents inside the private world. white house. and also author of first women grace and power of america's modern first ladies. kate bennett, you are first. no secret that ivanka trump and her husband are ambitious. does this include ivanka trump as first female president? >> it seems that it very well could. this isn't the first time as ivanka as future president came up. as you remember her mother wrote that book a few months ago and said she might it be the first woman and jewish president. so again the couple is ambitious. they may have played this pact. it might be true. ivanka has said before part of the reason they were drawn to each other first place is they are both ambitious. and said jared is not intimidated at all by my job. i think it's interesting too

steve bannon did fall out of favor. there was the battle between bannon and jared kushner and ivanka trump. obviously, steve bannon was never going to win that battle in the heart and mind of donald trump. because it's his daughter and son-in-law, wolf. and ultimately, we saw the president sort of hang him out to dry and get rid of him. but a statement like this which doesn't actually address steve bannon's characterization that was reported in the michael wolf book, the quotes about how steve bannon saw that trump tower meeting in june of 2016, that it was treasonous, donald trump doesn't deal with the specifics of what steve bannon described in the quotes to michael wolf. he wholeheartedly dismisses him and cuts him off at the knees. >> two instances also jump out. steve doesn't represent my base. he's only in it for himself. steve pretends to be at war with the media which he calls the opposition party. yet he spent his time at the white house leaking false information to the media to make himself seem far more important than he was, and then he adds this. i want your reaction. it is the

michael wolf's book underscores one of the ongoing power wars was between jared kushner and ivanka trump and steve bannonsergei kiss lee ago discussed having a private communications channel. the jared and ivanka faction thought steve ban ing was the source for that information. as wolf says in the book, he faced a number of journalistic conundrums for setting parameters for conversations, with that in mind, here's what wolf wrote. part of the indemnity between the first family and brannon was the jarvanka conviction that bannon had played a part in many of the reports of kushner's interactions with the russians. for bannon to live, kushner would have to be wholly discreditedp with me now is christopher ruddy and friend of president trump. chris, good to have you back on. the rivalry was not a secret, why would the president allow this kind of multiple city states or some would call dysfunction to not only come about, but to continue on for months. >> it's very common that you have divisions. some presidents thrive on it. some people like a cohesive administration, i think we saw that with obama and geor

to save themselves from them, and michael wolff quotes steve bannon saying the daughter will bring down the father. steve bannon and ivanka trump were on two different sides in the warring factions we saw in the early days of this white house with steve bannon spearheading the more nationalist type group and ivanka trump, jared kushner, gary cohn, being part of the more global-minded group. you're continuing to see just what the level of animosity was between the staffers in the white house in the early days of the administration. >> kaitlan, we're learning that president is trying to take action through a private attorney to get -- to try to get this to stop, cease and desist letters, not just to steve bannon now but others as well? >> yeah. that's right. a familiar action by the president when something is said about him he doesn't like, but overnight his lawyers did send steve bannon a cease and desist letter telling him to stop making defamatory statements about the president and his family because as you both know the president was furious yesterday after it was revealed that steve bannon had said he believed that meeting

steve bannon. when the president was a small kitchen and trump tower, ivanka was there, jared was there, steve bannon there. somehow he purports to know that he was horrified. what happens was, trump had written a preplanned acceptance speech, he ripped it up, and he wrote another one, those are the reactions of a leader, not a horrified individual. >> sean: i know from my own experience on election day, kelly yan knew that they would win win. i know what he said about me is not true. under talked to the president, now president, but the candidate on election day. i called him three times, dan bongino, three! wants to say don't believe the exit polls, it is just like 2004, wants to say it is looking really good, and the next time before any network called, to congratulation him. those are my three calls. >> one of the funniest parts of the book is where he claims that the president doesn't know -- >> sean: he tweeted about it five times before! >> sean, he's golfing with him! the book is -- i'm not even goingsa to say to "national enquirer" because the "national enquirer" occasionally got things righ

happiest with the michael wolff book is jared kushner and ivanka trump are very pleased because they feel vindicated by the fact that steve bannon has -- >> gone down in flames. >> another thing about the book there's a forced breakup of bannon and trump that will please them, and that's a good point. let me ask you, a lot of criticism on how wolff got access, and it appears to be a bait and switch, and he goes on tv and saying we were too mean and then writing nice articles, and now can't say a thing about him. >> i think i am doing a job where i am clear that i am going to write and i am not misleading what i am going to write, and i do not subscribe to the theory that -- what wolff did was sucking up for access, and you can watch the video of him saying the transition was going great now that bannon has taking over, and the rest of us were writing about how chaotic it was. if the president never spoke to me again, that would be fine. >> that's what happened to us. >> if his aides try to shut us down, that's not going to be effective. this is not about keeping him talking, which is what wolff had to do because he did not cover

ivanka after the paris climate accord decision when the president pulled out. steve bannon, you know, had this interaction we think with michael wolff, wolff writes it was likewise the move that ivanka trumpad campaigned hardest against in the white house, score said bannon, the -- is dead. this is a quote from steve bannon he hasn't disputed. this doesn't go into the fake area that bryan has been talking about here. pretty remarkable bannon would say that out loud about ivanka trump. >> it's shameful. >> coming at ivanka as recently as a couple weeks ago when he was in alabama giving a speech for roy moore. he had been attacking the trump children, particularly ivanka, and made it known that he wasn't ideologically or personally in line with them, so the fact that he stuck around for so long, even after these things were said, is really -- is really remarkable. equally remarkable, michael wolff didn't come out of nowhere. he's had a reputation, been around for a very long time, and i guess my question for bryan would be, how did this person get so much access inside the white house? because he was there. even if the president says that he didn't necessarily speak to him, which wolff disp

that book removed, and to engage in a lawsuit with steve bannon allows steve bannon to immediately subpoena donald trump as a witness and subpoena ivanka jared kushner as a witness for depositions and all this sort of stuff for years on end. >> yeah, that's absolutely right. i remember many years ago when pat robertson was running for the presidency, and he sued a couple of sitting congressmen and a former congressmen for liable over his record. and that became a process for him because everybody was able to depose him, and some truths came out and ultimately he terminated that lawsuit. that experience would only be magnified for president trump who would see everyone around him subpoenaed for deposition. >> and the last time donald trump threatened a lawsuit he say lying. he said he would sue all the women who alleged of sexual assault. >> a threat of a lawsuit from donald trump usually doesn't amount to much of saber rattling. he rarely follows through. >> we're going to have to leave it there. that's it. that is tonight's "last word."

small group of people who knew about a number of decisions were reince priebus, steve bannon, jared kushner, ivanka trump of key aspects of the mueller probe most notably the firing of james comey. and when that decision was made, he was not in the room for it, as i understand it. and the statement about the don jr. meeting. bannon does not have direct knowledge of either of those issues, but does have direct knowledge about other things and the reason the slip is so important that he made according to axios about talking to people who were involved about the drafting of the statement or more directly involved. that he could among other things provide additional information. he could contradict people who have spoken with mueller who did have direct knowledge. so it becomes key. >> i appreciate it. coming up is more on the president's health. and conan o brian taking his show to haiti. that is next. you may be new parents. but tonight, you're determined to feel like your old selves again. cell phone rings baby crying with blue apron, any night is a chance to see what cooking can do. . >>> the president's
