“If you don’t think Tucker Carlson has more influence on national security policy than many of the guys on the National Security Council, you’re wrong,” Stephen K. Bannon declared Wednesday tonight to a small group of wealthy Manhattan elites in a baronial Fifth Avenue apartment.
Thus, at a meeting of the Common Good lecture series in the modern art-festooned living room of New York plutocrat Richard Cohen, the president’s exiled former chief strategist revealed that America’s global interests are being guided by a Fox News host, a favorite of white nationalists, who recently proclaimed on his primetime show that he “roots for” Russia and Vladimir Putin over the Russia-occupied fledgling democracy of Ukraine.
Bannon, who admitted his relationship with Trump is far from warm—“We’re not friends,” he said—claimed, among other predictions, that the impeached 45th president will be re-elected next November with 40 percent of the Hispanic vote. He called himself a Trump admirer, even though “I hated being in the White House every second of every day.”
But Bannon largely succeeded in what he seemed to believe was his main goal at Wednesday’s event: upsetting his audience. “His second term,” he said about Trump, “is going to be even more transformative than his first.”

Well it is stay out of other peoples business..
I say get rid of 90 percent of the state department...
Steve, even if its true, keep it to yourself, hmmm?
“America’s global interests are being guided by a Fox News host, a favorite of white nationalists”. Wow, I didn’t know that Tucker Carlson was a Nazi..who would’ve thunk it? LOL..
Total nonsense. Trumps views on nearly every subject he ran on were views expressed before Fox News ever existed. Certainly long before anyone had ever heard of Tucker Carlson. His views on various subjects are available for anyone to view in numerous YT videos going back to 1980.
With any luck
I hope so. I sure hope so...
Man, that was such a stupid thing to say, and so wrong, that it’s hard to believe Bannon said it.
When he’s hot, Bannon seems to be a guy who sees clearly when he’s explaining the big picture stuff. Someone who looks at things from 30,000 ft up and can explain it in a reasoned, even enlightened, way.
But to suggest that Carlson has any influence over Trump’s foreign policy is just nutsy-cuckoo.
I’m starting to think Bannon might be a stoner.
If Tucker wants the job I’d be OK with that.
Needs repeating.
Not a stoner, but an alcoholic. I believe his wife left him for that reason.
Plus, drinking is, I believe, the reason Bannon left the WH so quickly. Trump is a teatotaler and cannot abide drunks.
That adds up. I wondered if he had a drinking problem when he worked in the White House, just because he looked so disheveled whenever I saw him
Bannon was using Tucker as an example...Trump listens to a lot of people and then makes up his mind...
If you read Get Tough America..you have Trumps thing before he ran for president...
It was like reading Ronald Reagan....
That is how I learned that Trump was no joke..along with Art of the Deal...
The Democrats are as dumb as dirt.. they have been fighting Trump for 40 years in NYC and he won there..
If i was a libtard i would hate djt soooo much
I watched The Apprentice because I wanted to understand his thinking. And I liked the way he listened to Ivanka.
The minute he walked onstage at the first debate I could clearly see him taking the oath of office on the Capitol steps with a woman in white next to him. Not quite accurate, Melania wore blue. But Ivanka wore white....
He seemed destined to be Prez...and Bannon seemed destined to be his close advisor, but his drinking soured the deal.
He’s an attention whore, and he’s starved for it.
I perceive Trump getting more from Lou Dobbs and Sean Hannity, with occasional cool points off Lisa Kennedy Montgomery. He also seems to absorb anything else that might be of importance from any source.
Trump might be the real-life Ozymandias character from “The Watchmen” who’s mind retained everything with nearly no rest, just leading from the front rather than from behind the scenes - far more good than evil. And these wanna-be “Legion of Dem” super villains are totally out of their league trying to convince us otherwise. We are so blessed.
