RUSH: Audio sound bite number 1. This was Fox & Friends this morning. Pete Hegseth filling in spoke with trial attorney and Trump supporter Robert Barnes about the chief strategist Steve Bannon and his allegedly diminished position in the White House. Question: “You\u2019ve seen these news reports of Steve Bannon\u2019s on his way out. What do you make of those reports?”<\/p>\n

BARNES: The media has been waging a five-month war against Steve Bannon because, as Rush Limbaugh said last week, they know how valuable Trump has been able to tap Steve Bannon\u2019s unique set of skills. They know that Bannon helps Trump and that Trump has masterfully utilized Bannon\u2019s unique set of skills. He\u2019s sort of Trump\u2019s personal MOAB that busted through the Democratic firewall. Trump may be the original Jedi but Bannon\u2019s the last Jedi against the Empire of media lies and that\u2019s why we\u2019ve been waging such a war against Bannon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>RUSH: This is the kind of stuff that Bannon supporters should not be saying. This is not cool. This is positioning Bannon as the reason Trump\u2019s who he is. This positions Bannon as the guy who makes Trump possible. Trump may have been the original Jedi, but Bannon the last Jedi against the empire of media lies. Mr. Snerdley asked me this morning if I think anything is going to happen to Bannon. No, I don\u2019t, not any time soon.<\/p>\n

I think all of this is a bunch of — pardon the phrase — trumped up. I mean, there may be something to it to one degree or another, but I think it\u2019s exaggerated and overblown and much of what you see in the media is really the reporting of their desires. They\u2019re eager for a scalp, folks. The Drive-Bys, that\u2019s what they do. They are eager for a scalp. And Bannon is one that they think they could secure. And they think they\u2019re on the verge of doing it, which is another reason why I don\u2019t think it\u2019s gonna happen any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
