Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon was the subject of the New York Times podcast “The New Washington” with hosts Michael Barbaro and Jeremy Peters on Saturday. The segment was built from excerpts of a much longer interview Peters conducted with Bannon.
California gubernatorial candidate and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa again blasted “Davos Democrat” Gavin Newsom while saying that working-class voters are not “deplorable.”
For about the thousandth—or is it the millionth?—time, the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal has attacked Donald Trump. But this time there’s a twist. The Journal’s latest hit-piece targets Trump’s top advisers, Stephen K. Bannon and Stephen Miller, both champions of the populist nationalist policies that propelled Trump to victory.
Peter S. Goodman writes in the New York Times that the Davos elite are well aware of the “populist fury” fueled by working-class people around the world who have borne the brunt of globalist economic policies.
Attacks on Stephen K. Bannon, the former executive chairman of Breitbart, slated to become the top strategist in the Trump White House, are nothing new. Just since the election, Mother Jones magazine has called him “worse . . . than a racist,” Joy Behar labeled him “a fascist,” and former Vermont governor Howard Dean insisted, against all evidence, that he is “a Nazi.” You get the idea. Despite the many false labels, Bannon’s actual views can only be described as Trumpian, and he has held them for a long time. So of course the globalists hate him, too.

Trump.

Buzzfeed reporter J. Lester Feder provides a transcript of a speech given by Donald Trump’s new chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon in the summer of 2014 before a conference at the Vatican focused on poverty. Bannon’s remarks predicted the coming populist movements and detailed how the concurrent forces of militant radical Islamic, the corrupt crony capitalism of “the Party of Davos,” and the dehumanizing secularization of the West were all converging into a global conflict.
Thomas Frank writes in The Guardian that the WikiLeaks emails to and from Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta “offer an unprecedented view into the workings of the elite, and how it looks after itself.” They provide “a window into the soul of the Democratic party and into the dreams and thoughts of the class to whom the party answers.”
