Steve Bannon’s Mixed Feelings on Sen. Mitch McConnell
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 май 2019
- Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon tells FRONTLINE he “detests” Sen. Mitch McConnell, but views him as a hero when it comes to the courts: “…To me he's the epitome of the establishment. That being said, if you're a conservative, he essentially saved the country.” Bannon also shares his perspective on the role a list of potential Supreme Court nominees approved by the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation played in Trump’s successful presidential campaign: “I don’t think he would be president without that list.”
This interview was conducted by FRONTLINE on March 17, 2019 during the making of “Supreme Revenge.” It is part of the FRONTLINE Transparency Project, an effort to open up the source material behind FRONTLINE’s reporting.

This guy will never be remembered in the history books but he undoubtedly changed history .
Not really. Just a parade jumper.
I’m convinced that Trump still calls Bannon, he is a sharp dude.
"I am a Marxist Leninist" - Steve Bannon
@@SRSOS QUACK QUACK QUACKhahahah
try this out Komrade soros
"Socialism is for ass holes"
Frank Zappa
I agree with you..
SRSOS he said that?
No Bannon does talk to people around him he as said so Probably Conway .
"Get out of these pointless foreign wars."
John Bolton is the man for that job.
lmao!
Bolton is on borrowed time so his days are numbered in the Trump administration. Trump is getting increasingly irritated with him pushing for military adventurism in Venezuela and Iran.
bolton is there to stop the communists who run the UN
@@deretreivels44 It's not 1952 anymore, Senator McCarthy. The Commies lost. They hold no sway anywhere. Aren't organized as a world power anymore. Once again, you're chasing shadows and fighting ghosts. And Bolton is a war criminal or are you all now supporting Bush and his war lie after saying you supported Trump because he wasn't a liar like Bush?
@@SRSOS Nancy Pelosi runs the communist party of USA out of california in case you didnt know. The UN and EU are run out of East Germany. Merkel is a communist and is calling the shots with Juncker. Pelosi and trudeau work for her as did obama. If you dont know any of this, youre just in the dark. Its all true and factual info. They dont advertise it. They so called democrat party doesnt exist except as a front and its part of the Global Communist Alliance. China runs the east and Germany runs the western flank.
Bannon makes no sense when he claims Judge Merrick Garland was too moderate for HRC and he wasnt going to be a Supreme Court Judge. She didnt stop his nomination. Obama nominated Garland and Mitch illegitimately refused for over a year to hold the hearing. Unprecedented. And Trump didnt nominate him. He wasnt right wing enough for Trump and didnt match up with doing any party favors for the swamp. His speculation is unsubstantiated.
We need to get rid of these politicians these lifelong politicians
This is called "selling your soul".... Kentucky voter here
Smart guy. Evil, but smart.
Not evil.
Evil how? Example?
Luke Vaughan Have you seen philosphy tube? Its pretty good also follow DIEM25.
This guy needs to be keynoted in history books
No kidding ... him and JP.
WOW so true ..
If only Bannon would use his (intellectual) powers for good...
He is childish
he is.
a great force for good for the american middle and lower class.
" we pulled them across the line" ....you remember , it was before we nearly drowned in that blue wave.......!
This one smart tough and crazy guy.
@M ZAKRIA I have very few good things to say about Steve Bannon (in fact, only one) but the man is brilliant. You have to give him that.
@@carolyntalbot947 he is an idiot. Look how he has harmed America.
Super smart.. Lets not be Europe but vote for a guy that will destroy the country... genius! YOu fuck wit!
This guy actually cares about this country. God bless him.
If we would learn to listen and stop fighting for our political team. Steve Bannon is very smart and understanding is awesome. The reason for Accusations is because just because a person does not understand the subject politics and social media has driven us to accusations we may not understand everything he says but everything he says he definitely understands we need more people with intellectual attributes and less politicians.
@Donnie Greathouse Sure, to a certain degree he knows what he’s talking about. But who gives a shit?! The guy is a fascist ideologue...
Mitch MacConnell, don't be a Brutus!
It will go down to the history book concerning all the traitors.
Added another judge to 9th circuit today,adds another next week, thank you Mitch.
Fucking Federal Reserve bootlicker ought to strung up right in front of the Capitol Building. No one in his district likes him yet he keeps winning. Can you say "GOP gerrymandering and redistricting"? I thought you could.
We like him just fine, that's why he wins. Cry about it all you want.we own the courts now.
@@vaunfestus9768 "We" as in the sellouts to America. "We" as in the Putin apologists and bootlickers. "We" as in we the people who spit on the flag and the Constitution.
why are you wearing a Biden hat? Conservatives confuse me. First you voted in a last minute New York Liberal ship jumper in 2016 then when he Trojan Horsed your party (SURPRISE SURPRISE what did you expect from the best buddy of Clinton and Epstein) you decided to STORM OUR FREAKEN CAPITOL But protest vote for Biden!? You people need help.
Love this man!! I am an immigrant myself from South America. This man’s patriotism is contagious. Love him
Love the clarity of thought Bannon always applies to the issues. A great Patriot and exceptionally bright Man.
Steve, Mitch won't have a fourth term.
Let's hope it's true. 😕🍀
I am smelling like a rose when I’m dead and bloated. STP song about what Bannon looks like now
Bannon is a stud.
@Ann Why U Mad?
@Ann Yeah, U Mad.
@Ann I am sorry for you that all the mental health clinics have been closed
I PAUSE this to ask a question.
Why does anyone give him AIRTIME.?
OK.. I left chat.
They both have issues of fairness and equality for all people no matter what their situation maybe
Brilliant.
*The other interviews are 30 mins + and this one is barely 9* 🤨
MR. Bannon you are helping AMERICA in your talking the way it should be said.
He's a Wall Street insider clown.
And you are the yokel who keeping going to the circus, trying to beat the rigged game.
SRSOS Bannon is succeding in Europe but really failed in the US. The push for conservative judges in federal courts was Bannon's biggest success but he is trash in the U.S. The cabinet is full of cronies from big pharma, big banks, defense contractors, and the fossil fuel industry. The neocons have taken over foreign policy and Trump has failed to address the costs of living. Doesn't matter how good the overall rock my is if wages are still stagnant and cpst of living like the price on health insurance is awful. If a progressive like Sanders, Gabbard, or Yang become the nominee, Trump is doomed. Progressives have to fight special interests, dem establishment, and Republicans while Trump has a monolith under the Republican party.
@@ricardobarahona3939 "Succeeding" lmao! You're a fucking loon, dude. You think enlightened Europeans want to give up the trappings of strong united labor and all the benefits it has brought many of them, for Bannon's drug-induced neocon psychobabble? So Europe can be turned into a Koch Brothers shithole just like America is currently. You're daft, mate.
Strategy
And electing more conservative justices
Also known as theft. Neil Gorsuch is sitting in Merrick garlands seat.
Your talking judges after you've helped turn our country into a shithole, with your support for the neocons. What a fucking sad act.
This world must have been made for scoundrels. For surely they do with it as they please.
You talking about me ?
@@gherieg.1091 No, It was not meant to be personal or directed at anybody. To answer your question, look up the word “scoundrel” and ask yourself.
@@stonefishbob4606
Well, in the Bible it says that the world has been given over to Satan to run .... but under strict supervision by God.
So that explains what you observed, which is true.
But the deeper Truth is Positive ... if you hate evil and injustice, act good and just, and you will have a relatively more serene life, ... and if you stay humble and seek the Master, He will make Himself readily findable for you.
The world belongs to God, He made us with Love, and if we personally practice love, the world will end up and stay forever in our, and not the scoundrels', hands. They will have an end.
Jesus is Lord . God bless you .
Is the RT?
Is this station Russia Today
Quite the opposite.
They're perfectly doing their job, showing who's threatening US democracy and in turn America and western society itself.
This short interview looks like it will probably become a piece of an hour long PBS Frontline documentary like the one about Russia's 'Kompromat' strategy
Mitch McConnell is the biggest swamp creature in the Senate.
We need a new party
BANNON is fucking heroic.
McConnell is building himself up... building Democrats back up to the species' living above soil level.
Doesn't mean they still don't swim the swamps.
Just another turkey. Don't pardon him, make him cold.
WHY IS HE WEARING 3 SHIRTS AND A FUCKING JACKET?
Surprised they didn't give Jeff Flake an entire hour.
Flake is irrelevant.
@@grizzlygrizzle Yet they used him on the documentary 🤣🤣
Interesting. Someone that many others have mixed feelings about has mixed feelings himself! Who'da thunk it?
Stevie boy!
4:28 we are still in Afghanistan and Iraq. Nothing has changed.
steve bannon's solution to all problems.... revolution.
All one😊
Bring Bannon back into the Administration.
The kids don't like him.
I want Bannon back at the WH...this is why I despise Jared
Funny, Bannon thinks he is above the President.
What’s this 4th term that he is talking about?? Mitch has already served 5...not sure steve knows what he is talking about....
DJXBOYRD McConnell needs to go. He's obsessed with power and has done nothing for Kentucky. He was vital in stopping a Medicaid expansion in the state and doesn't care for the ones suffering the most. Hopes he gets voted out of office in 2020.
Interesting man. 'Cannot argue with his strategy.
Bannon's opinions are moot.
Wow. This was like..if David Lynch made "Twin Peaks" a show about politics..While on cocaine:
" *There's nobody I've ever had more disagreements with.* I haven't seen any..We're going to focus on THREE THINGS, Oh, and Pence! And the lists..We're going to lose.. Under the hood, besides the Signal & the Noise..And then-it's one of the reasons..And *God Bless him.* "😂
4:28
Steve "I'm a Marxist" Bannon.
Hero of the alt.right.
smh
Are we gonna excuse the fact he said trump will have a 4th term?
Thought it was a slip of the tongue.
Probably not though
y u look like benjamin franklin O_o !
Mitch is a crooked
Are the four to five layers because of the smell ?
I am God almighty. i do not give up.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Stop having this guy on
Blah Blah Blah Republicans , Blah Blah Blah tea party crap🙄🙄🙄🗣🗣🗣📢📢📢
Keep drinking dude, it's actually good for you.
Bannon you talk as if America should listen and adhered to your beliefs.
They should and they are... How do you think Trump got elected...
@@Ch1n4Sailor "I am a Marxist Leninist" - Steve Bannon
Charlie Rose is back? I thought he was fired for sexual harassment
What McConnell did re Garland was disgraceful. If it was Chuck Schumer doing it to Trump Bannon would be furious.
N P What's worse is that there are so many conservative judges on the courts because Schumer helped McConnell. Bannon is trash the establishment of both parties are in power and barely anything has changed. How is he going just look at the cabinet. Pompeo and Bolton are neocons leading foreign policy, the defense secretary is a former Boeing executive, The HHS sec is a former executive at Eli Lilly, the treasury secretary is from Goldman Sachs and the secretary of the interior and EPA chief come from the fossil fuel industry. The entire administration is extremely establishment and corrupt. People need to open their eyes.
I love Bannon Bannon 2024 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is laughable...
Captain Steve bannon.
He helped he helped a little bit..
He suffers from narcissism it's obvious he wants to be important and he's just not
Steve Bannon proved himself loyal and courageous, fighting for Trump from the outside. From start he knew so much about the threat China posed. China sure took 🇺🇸 for a ride for over 20 years. 🙏🏼 from HK with ❤️
I don't think this bloated toad needs more press.
Man I have a serious man crush on Steve. Speaks for normal schmoe's.
not only wrong but wrong at the top of your voice
Can't wait to elect the next Obama oh and by the way 'Stevie boy' manufacturing jobs are the past. U.S. companies can't compete with emerging economies due to cheap labor. Why aren't law officials cushioning the American workers for this fact?
Record unemployment across the board. Wages are up, VA went from floppy disc to welcome to the 21st century. 2 supreme court appointments, Border funding. De-regulation. Obamacare is all but dead. N.Korea is at the table. Iran is on the defense. Russia is being stymied by sanctions. Agree with said policies or not, Trump has actually tackled his agenda quite well in 3 years. Welcome to the new America hun. The 'let's fight for victim-hood' days are over.
@@somchai272 Most of those jobs are gigs that have little to do with actual mamufacturing and now many people have two or more jobs. Lol Iran and NK are building nukes behind Trumps back thanks to the botched deal, Didn't finish negotiations with NK, he just signed a couple of papers and than left.
@@lolcatjunior Oh I guess that economic data is wrong cuz you simply don't like Trump. I guess the negotiations with NK aren't finished and thus must be considered a failure. I guess those 2 lifetime supreme court appointments were 'fake news'. LOL. Dude, look at the world as it is. Not as you want it. Trump has gotten alot done. Don't like him? Fine. Try winning an election. Welcome to the real world hun.
@VSW you call me an idiot because I like a president who passed a law attempting to provide cheap health care for all. What would you call me for liking a man that obstructed justice 10 times involving an investigation that regarding him and the Russians around collusion? What would you call me if I liked a man who's only strategy of fixing our illegal immigration problem is to put us in more debt by building a wall? What would you call me if I liked a man that started a trade war with one of our biggest markets even though our American companies are the ones handing over their technology for greed? Hmmmm. What would you call me if I liked a man who passed a tax cut bill that put the country in more debt?
@@mainnevent515 how did trump "obstruct Justice"? 10 times? Can you name the 10, or is that just a nice round number for you?
I'm so proud that Kapernick tool that knee. Nike made a smart move because he's a true hero 👍🏿.
Sorry Steve, Trump was saying this 20 yrs before your joined the Admin.
