how could sarah palin become president?"ve gravitates towards countercultural conservative figures that have an ability to resonate with middle america. >> narrator: inside the theater, bannon unveiled the film he called the undefeated. (dramatic music playing) >> like a marine, she runs toward the danger. >> on day one, governor palin made it absolutely clear that this was a different governor. >> if we have government still invading our house, then, you know, the women stand up and we start invading the government. >> and that's what we don't see in any politician. >> she was a champion of our ideals. >> narrator: bannon had spent a year producing the film, but he could not convince palin to actually run. >> bannon was disappointed palin didn't run. bannon saw it then. he was just ahead of his time. it wasn't going to be palin and it wasn't going to be 2012. but populism, the populism he saw then, it was on the rise. >> narrator: and in hollywood, that insight made bannon a player among conservatives. >> and that kind of t

people we talked to, he breitbart people say bannon identified very early, first in sara palin, and then through breitbart and reader comments from breitbart, who that base was, trump was also identifying, iian, idea, e histore hat hadn't been seen by the republican establish sxment that b lained why bannon and breitbart went on with jeff sessions, senator sessions from collaborator with that, steven miller, sessions' communication director. the hree of them and reitbart staff took down or participated seriously and importantly in the taking down kanter, and john they were kin killer necessary that sense and that brought them to the attention of trump and that relationship is what brought trump to the white house. mr. kirk, the term all connected to mr. bannon with breitbart, what do you and you learned about him breitbart new? film: we spent time in the wrestling with the question. a lot of people say you couldn't editor-in-chief of breitbart without being racist. we talked to awful lot of people about it, here is consistent approach, there are people who f course say you couldn't run t

. >> "breitbart," palin trump are anti-establishment figures and o think that appeals to them and it's more about destroying enemies and that's where he and trump me. they are very much --. >> host: mr. kirk to that last point about destroying enemies talk about that and the fact that you spoke with someone formerly of "breitbart" and david bossi as well. >> guest: the thing when trump and bannon got together that first time in almost every time after that there was a common quality that they shared in the sort of real fighter instinct. you saw that manifest after the firing of comey in the pushback that was happening when trump went to the coast guard academy last weekend and gave the commencement address insteadfi fight, fight, fight. i'm going to go for it. that is pure bannon-ism 100%. i think that's really the thing they have in common trump says he recognized the wealthy guy i who was kind of like him. i think there's an awful lot about the two of them that is very much the same including that instincts to go after people, hit them when they are down. winners and losers in trump

i think he also talked about the line when he talked about sarah palin's daughter.as well. >> he did. >> eric: you would think cbs would learn their lessons. >> yes. you are absolutely right. i'm so glad that you reminded our audience of that fact because it was absolutely disgusting. i mean, these people on the left in the democratic party are always lecturing their political enemies that you shouldn't go after women there i shouldn't talk about the children of political figures and the way that david letterman talked about the palin family was way beyond the pale backlash on that. talking about the double standards that the radical hate-filled left always gets away with and it really is a time to draw a line on that. maybe we will ask less moonves what's going on on late night program. we will leave it right there, michelle malkin, thank you so much. coming up next right here on hannity. >> jim comey didn't say to the clinton campaign don't campaign in michigan. jim comey didn't say don't go to wisconsin once after the democratic convention. >> eric: democrats are

of federate i remember when kennedy was assassinated i think we see some history now that willt palin comparison to what we have already seen that mr. trump that said the thing about veterans, john mccain pod and the heather candidates and the democratic party. it is like he proves freedom of speech is alive and well. so i believe the history we see right now over the next four years will be i opening and mind-boggling at the same time. i just to believe it is alive and well. >> nobody would doubt that president traduces freedom of speech. of sp and sunday that could lead to a libel suit against him as there are people who believe strongly that things he has said, not just policyui , but when you attack individuals and say very critical things if they are not true and he knows they're not true. president obama two weeks ago for example, would be interesting for a lawyer could he had it within his power to bring a libel suit to say that he wiretapped him? but he would have to prove president from new that it was not true or suspected that but the law listenable in a situation like that

"action news" reporter sarah palin is live at the special victims unit. what are police saying about this? >> reporter: jim, 18-year-old sameer, the brother in this case is charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault and a long ligs of other crimes. police say he surrendered at the 30th police district saying officers there i did something stupid. it appears that he suffocated his 7-year-old sister and she is on life supand her father tells "action news" that the child is brain dead. police including the crime scene unit spent time today in olney trying to figure out how a 7-year-old girl ended up unresponsive in the basement of her family's home overnight. >> that is the scary part we see her play all the time and it's scary to know she is in the hop. god knows if she will make it, we are all praying for her but -- >> the girl's brother, 18-year-old sameer took off in his mother's car and she called police. and when officers arrived. her 17-year-old son says his sister was missing from the bed. >> she found her 7-year-old daughter unconscious on

democrats are ready to talk to ore palins about -- to republicans about improving our health care system, but we respect going to engage in a debate that presupposes the end result is going to be millions of people losing care in order to fund a tax cut for the wealthy. that's the plan that donaldub trump and republicans are pushing. so my republican friend is right, democrats are not interested in having a discussion about how many people are going to lose coverage. we're not interested in having a discussion about how high the rate increases are going to be. we're not interested in having a discussion about big tax breaks for millionaires, billionaires, insurance companies and drug companies. and let's be honest, if republicans were serious about working with democrats, you wouldn't be using an arcanehat senate rule that allows you to push through a bill with 50 votes. if republicans really wanted to work with democrats on health care reform, then you would do it through normal business. if republicans were really serious about working with democrats on health care reform, you would be

have the victims and their families in our hearts as we talk about these other things that somehow palin comparison. without let's talk about the budget. some of what i say the opening will be a repeat that's a lot of folks were not here. let's talk about what this is. this is the president's fy18 budget. the name on the cover is the new foundation for american greatness. as i read through it over the weekend as i did in fact we have been working on this since before i actually got here, it struck me that the title should have been different. the title should have should have been a taxpayer first budget because that's what this is. as i was trying to reconcile those two things was called the new foundation for and greatest i wanted to call up a taxpayer first budget it struck me that was what was new for one of the things knew about this budget that we looked at this budget through the eyes of the people who are actually paying the bills. for years and years we simply looked at the budget in terms of the folks who are on the back end of the program, the recipients of the taxpayer money

senator mccain has considered as a running mate, a vice presidential choice before he chose sarah palinnd different things i see him attend in terms of the hudson institute and whatnot, he's a very smart as it relates to foreign policy and national security. i think he's a patriot and very hard-working, i don't think he would be a bad choice. i think he would be a good choice, it depends. you have to evaluate all the potential options and candidates who would be best suited for that particular organization, which is a very important one especially during this time. >> dana: democrats support him? >> juan: no. this was a surprise to me because like kimberly, i've had very positive experience with senator lieberman over the years, i find him trustworthy. here's a situation right now. he was with a law firm since he left the senate and the law firm has representative trump and some litigation, in addition to which he is back to john mccain who was is very close friend in the senate, the three amigos, mccain, lindsey graham, and senator lieberman on somebody issues. he backed mccain against

it was like when they found sarah palin's e-mails -- >> i like to just not predict so that way i can'td i can be, like, you were wrong, to everyone else. >> people compared him to hitler, and now you get nixon, so in some ways he's winning people over. [laughter] [applause] >> that was a hot thing. greg: amanda, i think there's a rare gift here. he introduces a new level of chaos. so some stuff is getting done. like you have the raids that are going on, the deregulation, the pipeline, but it's all in this cloud of dust. >> yeah, i mean, there's a lot going on that's in the mainstream media. but meanwhile you have things happening under the ray tar like two days -- radar like two days ago he signed an executive order regarding election fraud and voting fraud. nobody really heard about it, but there's all this stuff milling underneath. i think we as conservatives, we have a little bit of amnesia when it comes to the left because every time something like this happens, they have a complete freakout, and we're like, oh, they've really lost it this time, they've lost their collective you kn

imagine if sarah palin did that with the head of barack obama. can you imagine that? what it would be like. >> neil: what did you think of the fact that it was an attack on the left and the right by those that like donald trump, those that hate donald trump. obviously it hit a cord. >> hopefully it stops today. all my listeners, we get up. they're yelling at me, scolding me. "saturday night live," they're making fun of this. they're making fun of that. joe, this is not -- look. looks like kathy i think is a nice gal. i met her. she seemed like a pleasant woman. the point of the matter -- >> neil: who would use her? to what end? >> who is going to the town halls and -- >> neil: you think there was an appearance somewhere or -- >> it was for publicity. i don't know. the thing with kathy, she has two million twitter followers. that's a lot. more than most television and radio shows. there's got to be something going on. the fact of the matter is, and i plead with folks, you know, i know donald trump for years. you don't want to hate. the hate has to stop. i don't underst

the real hypocrisy about gender in the media is sarah palin.way they dragged her over the coals. you didn't hear a peep from the media. back then, that was patent sexism. >> eric: maybe not sexism but there is a media double standard. >> it was unprofessional. >> eric: the vast mainstream media treats the pro-trump people and not pro-trump people. a >> eboni: they their bias. it should be done. but this is where they are. >> eric: even the opportunity to take the eye roll back, i'm guessing he would. >> kat: i think a lot of people on the left had no problem with it. i don't pick it was sexist. sure, it was rude. he said trip down memory lane and talked about michigan. >> eric: why is it not sexist? >> rude can be applied to everyone. >> kat: calling out sexism doesn't exist diminishes real sexism. >> the reason anderson cooper wouldn't take that i roll back is because he hasn't gotten this much publicity and who knows how long. >> eric: don't go away. we circle back with our specialists right after this. when they thought they should westart s

i thought they were great in 2008 when they took apart sarah palin.not talking about a candidate. we are talking about someone in the white house who is erratic and probably in a lot of ways dangerous. they're taking that on. i'll tell you something brilliant they did last night. they took apart his language. they had, for example, the case where his lawyers said there was no problem with his tax returns for the last ten years except for a few exceptions. and colin jost said that's like saying all the children came back safely from the field trip with a few exceptions. they did that. that's the key to this. the key to everything i think you have been talking about today in the really great segments with the earlier guests is that this is an administration that pumps disinformation into the eco-system, into the information eco-system. i don't think we have ever been faced with anything like that. if they were just making fun of sean spicer and sarah huckabee i would say, come on, they are press reps. but they are brilliantly satirizing the way the info

and we heard about this in the last election, the romney-obama election, sarah palin talking about how we were slaves to a foreign master. so we have heard about this for a bit in politics. the interesting thing is that the nightmare scenario that we have been talking about actually happened this past year. so, we have been told if china dumps treasury bills, suddenly the dollar would collapse and interest rates would go through the roof. in fact, china sold billions of dollars worth of those bills last year. of the $3 trillion. and what happened? nothing. the reason is, our market is a $30 trillion market. it is the deepest bond market in the world, no country is even close to the size of the bond market. so when the pentagon did a study on whether the ownership of the bills proposed a risk to america, depending on china, it did not paid because -- did not. other countries would buy them. that is what happened. they sold the bills and there was not a rebel in the bond market -- ripple in the bond market. i do not see the ownership of the bills a threat or giving china any leverage wha

no way to retraces, of course, but at the same time palin it does lead you to believe that it is important to have great reporters around to have coverage of the senate. it is important to the american people to have this kind of coverage. and john saw that he was the epitome of this. i appreciated the work that he did on the statement. coverage. of a very gifted diplomat as he read my diplomat and gave a good idea of what happens to many of you in this room today your ambassadors and how you got here, what you do, how effective you may be, what is going to happen next. a remarkable book. i am confident that john f. kennedy, the pastor of the senate, is going to be successful. not only as it will be well read, but those to read it will profit and benefit by it enormously. it is a great privilege to be with john today here at the german marshall fund. this is the right place to meet. i want to -- just one final personal note, and that is the distinguished ambassador is here from montenegro. i mentioned him in particular because i just had a great visit to the country. i think it probably or

people have said to me personally, sarah palin, what a dufus.d she could see russia from her house. she never said that. never said that. tina fey said that on "saturday night live" but jokes work their way into the bloodstream of the culture in a way that editorials don't. you know what? you could write all the editorials, bill, let me write the jokes and we'll see who has more influence with millenials. it will be me. >> bill: you worked at cbs for a long time. what did you think of colbert's performance this week? >> it was so vile, so crude, and so vulgar that -- and he didn't apologize. his explanation was so lame. i'll tell you what i thought because i know some of the people involved. he is not going to take responsibility for this because he hates -- hates donald trump. the ceo of cbs needs to be asked about this. if i were at a dinner party in california at the ceo's house and i said to just 10 people at the party what colbert said to millions of people on a national tv network, they would look at me and say what's the matter with you?

. >> so breitbart, palin, trump, all are sort of anti-establishment figures and i think that appeals trump i think really meet. >> david, does steve bannon view donald trump as more of a comrade are more as sort of clay that he can mold for he is own use and ambition? >> i think a conduit would be a good way to put it. ben is right that they have the same personality in terms of destruction of enemies being a large part of their personal motivation, but steve bannon has an ideology which now trump does. trump is totally situational, he can blast them and go get a medal from the king and a hold a golden orb and it's all fine by him. bannon realizes it want his idea to run off to saudi arabia on the first trip. the bannon does believe there is a clash of civilizations while also wanting to disrupt the elites here in the united states, whether it's cultural, media, political elites. one thing that the documentary played down was that fact that he turned breitbart, which was a conservative outlet to an alright. they played that down. >> they did. >> so there's a lot going on within steve

we didn't turn out for sarah palin either. but why?ust feminists are biassed in some way against certain women. i don't think that it is. i think you need a definition is clear that feminism isn't a woman who is out for yourself and your own achievement. that is not sufficient, and so i think it is important that any definition of feminism is tearing down barriers for other women and marginalized people. feminism is not go out and get it, girl. you are so successful, that is benefiting of feminism and not practicing feminism. >> that was a profound distinction. >> i tend to more self-identify as a womanist because that definition to me is more intersectional in nature, but generally speaking, i think the end result is the same in that it's the idea that there is -- that women have autonomy over their own decisions, that they are not precluded from their ambitions from what they seek to achieve based upon discriminatory systems and society and working towards tearing down those systems where they exist. >> thank you, susanna, if you wan

. >> palin, trump, are all anti-establishment figures and appeals to bannon.g enemies. that's where he and trump i think really meet. >> so, david, you know, does steve bannon view donald trump as more of a comrade or more of sort of clay that he can mold for his own use and ambition? >> i think a conduit would be a good way to put it. i think ben is right, that they have the same personality in terms of destruction of enemies, being a large part of their personal motivation. but steve bannon has an ideology which donald trump doesn't. trump is totally situational. >> right. >> he can blast muslims and then two -- it's all fine by him. bannon realizes he's within the enemy camp there and probably wasn't his wrd to run off to saudi arabia on the first trip. he does believe as we saw in the vatican clip that there is a clash of civilizations and he takes it very seriously. while wanting to also disrupt the elites here in the united states whether it's cultural elites, media elites, political elites. the one thing i thought the documentary played down, which i th

new paradigm of central bank activism. , aslet me just say interesting as the fed is, it is issues palinwas stuck with forward guidance that no longer makes sense and the bank of england who has to do with the uncertainty of brexit and the worst thing that central banks have to face, inflationary tendencies. tom: let's come back. look for his workout on bloomberg view. coming up, experience on the diplomacy of the united kingdom. we will do that in a bit. don't forget, and 40-some minutes, the bank of england. on radio and television, this is "bloomberg surveillance." good morning. ♪ guy: 27 minutes until the bank of england announces its rate decision. i'm guy johnson alongside tom keene. let's get to the morning must listen. the barclays ceo who spoke to erik schatzker. it was an exclusive interview. he said he values the oversight from banking regulators. executives should be held accountable. managerthe senior regulation is an important piece of regulation and the united kingdom. since i got here, one of my goals was to be very transparent with regulators. in many ways, we are partne

i got into a fight with sarah palin, the whole thing.ist giving him some -- a little guff, as my mother would say. i say hi, rog, what's going on over at the propaganda machine. he said i remember when you were a friend of fox and friends. i said yeah, that's when me and richard simmons were doing the weather 15 years ago. then rahm emanuel came up to me and said we're not doing this here. and i think i'm still friendly with valerie jarrett because she said that being friends with her makes her daughter thinks she's cool, but i don't know. i may have pushed it. >> it's a weird confluence, rahm emanuel and ailes all sitting together. >> it was not the washington correspondents one but the d-list one, tv and radio one. it was a crazy combo. i will say i'm amazed at how these washington people sit around and next to each other. >> what do you think his legacy -- ailes' legacy is going to be? >> i think truth fully his legacy is going to be the way he treated women, i really do. especially when you look at the chorus of people backing him up

any specific principal or defend a trump action as opposed to having liberals heads explode or sarah paline base, what's red meat. they know they're niche markets. conservative commentators and also the niche markets that jerry republicans and jerry misunderstandered sees. they want red meat. it's much more dangerous for hem though break with trump. talking about the republicans. the level of intimidation is incredible on the right. the safe space is to not defend trump, but to attack the media. attack hypocrite cal democrats. attack over the top liberals or play the game of what about. what about obama, what about hillary. that formula has worked so far. >> its niche marketing. >> yes. >> very few people like charlie or goldburg who writes this. the smart every mind honorable response from the conservatives to all of this should be the jerry ma gunfire response. conservatives should be doing everything they can to convince trump he's his on worst enemy. mike pence, himself, his party and his country a favor by telling donald trump, if you humiliate me like that again, i will resign and ru
