seb gorka is going to go back and do what seb gorka does. fundamentally what it represents is, for the time being anyway, the grownups, namely national security adviser mcmaster, dina powell, people like that, seem to have gotten the upper hand. but it's just friday, man! anything can happen next week. >> it is just friday. glenn thrush from "the new york times," thank you for making time on this busy friday night. i want to read now in our breaking news coverage, this is a response to the pardon of sheriff arpaio. this is from a leading republican from the of arizona, senator jeff flake, who has been the target for taunting by president trump. he has speedy reaction to this news which is breaking, he says, "i would have preferred the president honor the judicial process and let it take its course." the implication from the senator there saying basically the president did not honor the process. joining me, arizona congressman rubin gallego. any normal time on night like this would probably be discussing the hurricane and disaster preparation

seb gorka leaving is bad news for breitbart. ding with gorka resigning even though the white house says he's been forced out. what do we do? we roll out the arpaio story. this hurricane is hurting and killing people rate now aloight the coast of texas. the white house is focussing, i don't want to say focussed. they can do more than one thing. but why would the president want to divert even one moment of attention away from the flooding, collapsed buildings in rock port, away from the emergency on the coast of i we saw it earlier in phoenix, because it's all about him. >> that's going to be sad when we see how bad it is on the text is coast. >> that the only oak, conclusion? >> no, i mean you heard me last hour, i -- i mean, we have to applaud the president, it takes a talent to move a category 4 hurricane barrelling -- actually it's touched land now in texas, which is as brian said, it will kill people unfortunately and harm a lot of people, people are under distress and stress now just to give a visual imagine of it, if you are

first you had the transgender ban in the military issued, the seb gorka's firing. my sources say more he was ousted than he resigned. and you have the pardon of joe arpaio. it was a friday night news dump of epic proportions just as a hurricane was barreling down. a lot of this wasn't schaubihoc. people have know since john kelly came in seb gorka would depart the white house. he didn't really have a clear role and frustrated kelly when he went on tv and criticized secretary of state rex tillerson. the pardon, president trump said that was coming for several weeks to his closest advisers. he appreciated arpaio being loyal to him and appreciated that his base would probably like it and the transgender ban had to happen, the guidelines, because he had tweeted it several weeks ago without any policy in place. so some of this was seemingly shocking, but i think it was actually the cards were in place before and the white house kind of did a coordinated strategy with the hurricane coming down to get a lot of these uncomfortable, polarizing decisions out of their hair, s

lt ousting of seb gorka, he called slam a inherently violent religionen. >> in a moment we're going to check with a storm chaser to see what he has seen, and it's a lot. oh, look... another anti-wrinkle cream in no hurry to make anything happen. neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair works in just one week. with the fastest retinol formula to visibly reduce wrinkles. neutrogena®. >>> roughly three hours after hurricane harvey made landfall as a category 4 storm it is unleashing a torrential rainy skault with winds around 130 miles an hour, it's the strongest storm to hit texas in 50 years and the strongest to hit the american rainland in 20 years. what are you hearing about damage so far in your district. >> good morning everyone. thank you for the opportunity to visit with you. it appears that we've received light damage, not anything significant. currently, i live right near the medical center, and we had very little rain, but we have wind gusts. houston has taken in seriously, people have been off the streets, they have stocked up on food and all of the necessary advertise, and of course

and kelly came to the determination that he did not actually know what seb gorka did within trump's westpt go on tv, and some of those tv hits, to put it mildly, irked chief of staff kelly, which included gorka going on your network, i believe he was talking to you. >> he was talking to me. >> and said that the attack against a mosque in, i believe it was minnesota could have been a false flag attack committed by leftists to frame white wingers. that was a clip that was flagged for kelly and he was deeply displeased by it. >> it was a very weird moment when it happened. thanks to the three of you for helping us with that particular story that i must say we were not thinking we were going to have to cover on this friday night when a category 4 hurricane has hit the united states. that is our main story because there are lives hanging in the balance there. we will continue to cover that. ♪ when heartburn hits fight back fast with tums chewy bites. fast relief in every bite. crunchy outside. chewy inside. tum tum tum tum tums chewy bites. you give us comfort. and we give you bare feet, back

but seb gorka is an incendiary figure in his own right.has build up an audience, kind of a hawkish terrorism guy. he wrote a very controversial book called "defeating jihad." what we saw in the resignation letter that he gave it to the press that he kind of sold out the message that brought him into the white house. he's not afraid of speaking out against trump. i think the white house is going to make efforts to maintain in relationship with these people. but at the end of the day, their incentive isn't going to be to have a few friends in the white house. their incentive is going to be to continue their careers and build their own audiences. and their base is not happy with the way things are going in the trump presidency, in terms of who's running it, who's in charge. and i think we're going to hear a lot more from mr. gorka as well as mr. bannon and the others. >> julian zellazer, mckay copens, i appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> kathryn, hit me with facebook comments. smerconish, right, as a retired newspaper editor the friday afternoo

i think not only fox has to cultivate seb gorka, it is the reverse he is willing to go on and say what many of the fox audience believe. if anything was revealed by the 2016 election, the fox audience is the trump base and fox made the programming calculus that they need to reflect these world views from a ratings, programming perspective. just rewind to when megyn kelly was feuding with donald trump, her producer saw her ratings go down any time she said something that was critical of donald trump. so the sort of amplification of these outrageous trump voices that we see on hannity or fox and friends is really appealing to the core fox news viewer. >> i wanted to talk to you about whether or not what happened in charlottesville might change -- there was a report published about trump believing bannon is leaking and his leaks are targeting general h.r. mcmaster, putting bannon's job in jeopardy. could the one thing that could dislodge the bannonites, the idea he could push him out for leaking if not being on the alt right. >> i feel this is the third or fourth it racial that trump is n

. >> yeah, watch out seb gorka, right? that picture is telling. that's a big important moment. they're all gone except for mike pence and the president himself. i think it's a valid point. just because steve bannon is gone doesn't mean that he won't -- >> that he's gone. >> that he won't still be talking, right? roger stone, corey lewandowski, these people still talk to the president. i would say this. >> scaramucci. >> i think we may be magnifying the power of breitbart.com. >> this gives them some nice publicity. >> right. look, a lot of people out there do read them, but do you know how they really have influence? it's when the mainstream media shows them. like if on monday breitbart writes something attacking javanka or cohn or something and the cable news networks puts them out there, that's where they really have the power. >> okay, thank you all. john, you take it, buddy. thank you for coming on. we'll see you next time. >> thanks for having me. thank you very much. >> thank you all. >>> just ahead i'm going to talk to a pastor who has resigned from president trump's eva

steve bannon, seb gorka. reinforcing the president's strategy of attacking those in congress they don't think are conservative enough. >> they have made clear some of their enemies are in the white house, right? and the people they're going to continue to attack. now, the problem is this. donald trump won with not a huge, overwhelming, sweeping victory. he has a little bit of wiggle room. not a ton. and when he and people on the outside attack people like mitch mcconnell, people he needs to be partners, these are not people that will be as popular as donald trump around the country. they are people who will be his street fighters in getting stuff done. and he has no legacy-building accomplishments. >> the first lady of the united states says she wants to be part of a campaign against bullying. she might want to start with the president. you might want to play nice with the folks you need. that doesn't work with him. he's used to being a bully. we're seeing the bully in chief. >> he's a tough negotiator. >> no

. >> i could not agree with seb astisebastian aho-- sebastian gorka more, he is right. the fact that democrats still want to play politics that is disgusting, if you want what talk schumer, with obama drawing line in the sand, schumer was support hiive, then, this is sick. i wish they would put this aside, going t gorka nailed it, that clip should be played everywhere. we all have to come together and support the president, it is a very tough decision. we need to make sure we prediction our country. cheryl: if you ask, are democracies like nancy pelosi and schumer taking advantaging of this, this is a serious national security issue, we have confirmed it, they do have a mini nuclear warhead about funny,. >> you know, funny democrats say resive, resist, delay, they do everything, too not exclude items of national security this disgusting, we have to come together, this say real problem, there are lives at stake, not only brave men and women of military but 25 million of korea, that guam, these are real lives at risk. this is a tough thing he is prepared. cheryl: a lot of
