>>> STEVE BANNON FAMOUSLY DEFENDED DONALD TRUMP AGAINST
ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
AND HIS POLITICAL OPERATION
DOUBLED DOWN ON RAY MOORE AFTER
ALLEGATIONS THAT HE PREYED ON
UNDERAGE GIRLS.
UNDERAGE GIRLS. IT’S MOSTLY DEMOCRATS RUNNING
AGAINST TRUMP.
AGAINST TRUMP. PLUS, THESE GROWS MOVEMENTS LIKE
ME TOO AND TIME’S UP.
TODAY I ASKED BANNON ABOUT
TIME’S UP, ABOUT THE RISING
OPPOSITION OF TRUMP AMONG WOMEN
AND WHETHER THE MOVEMENTS ARE A
CONSTRUCTIVE FORCE TO ADVANCE
EQUALITY AND FORCE CHANGES ON
WHAT HE REFERS TO AS THE PAY
TREE ARKY.
TREE ARKY. >> WHAT DOES TIME’S UP MEAN TO
YOU?
YOU? >> THAT IT’S TIME’S UP IN THE
END OF PA TREE ARKY.
SO I THINK YOU HAVE THE TIME’S
UP MOVEMENT.
UP MOVEMENT. YOU HAVE WHAT I CALL THE
RESISTANCE AND THEN I THINK YOU
HAVE IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT.
I THINK THOSE THREE ELEMENTS ARE
KIND OF THE ENTHUSIASM ON THE
LEFT.
LEFT. >> TIME’S UP.
GIVEN THE HISTORY OF GENDER
RELATIONS IN THIS COUNTRY AND
AROUND THE WORLD AND THE DESIRE
FOR GENDER EQUALITY, ISN’T THAT
A GOOD THING?
>> MY OLDEST DAUGHTER IS A WEST
POINT GRADUATE THAT SERVED WITH
101st AIRBORNE.
101st AIRBORNE. SITTING ON THE THROWN OF SADDAM
HUSSEIN IN HER UNIFORM WITH
101st AIRBORNE.
101st AIRBORNE. I AM A HUGE BELIEVER IN EQUALITY
AND MY DAUGHTERS ARE LIVING
PROOF OF THAT AND THE REST OF MY
FAMILY.
FAMILY. SO, NO, I’M A HUGE BELIEVER IN
THAT.
THAT. I THINK IN THE TIME’S UP
MOVEMENT AS A SUBSET OF THAT,
SOME OF THE THINGS LIKE SEXUAL
HARASSMENT IS SOMETHING THAT
NEEDS TO BE DONE.
I’M NOT 100% WITH THE TIME’S UP
MOVEMENT BUT I CAN SEE IT IS A
POWERFUL POLITICAL FORCE.
I THINK SOMEONE LIKE OPRAH
WINFREY CAN COME OUT OF THAT.
>> IS IT CONSTRUCTIVE?
>> I THINK IT IS CONSTRUCTIVE TO
ALWAYS REVIEW THINGS LIKE THIS.
I THINK THAT IT’S ALWAYS GOOD TO
QUESTION YOUR ASSUMPTIONS.
SO I THINK THAT SOME OF THE
THINGS ARE COMING OUT OF IT.
PARTICULARLY WHAT WE FOUND OUT
IN SOME OF THESE COMPANIES THAT
THINGS WENT ON.
I THINK IT IS QUITE POSITIVE.
>> THE WAY YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR
DAUGHTER IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM
THE WAY DONALD TRUMP TALKS.
TIMES THAT BY A GENDER GAP THAT
IS 20 POINTS IN NEGATIVE VIEWS
OF THE PRESIDENT.
>> FIRST OF ALL --
>> LET ME FINISH THE QUESTION.
YOU WILL GET YOUR TIME.
IS THIS PARTY WALKING AWAY FROM
WOMEN VOTERS OR COLLEGE EDUCATED
WOMEN VOTERS?
WOMEN VOTERS? >> WE WON, WHAT, WHITE WOMEN
52-48 OVER HILLARY CLINTON, THE
FIRST FEMALE NOMINEE IN HISTORY.
AND SO DONALD TRUMP DOES
RESONATE WITH THAT.
>> LET ME RESPOND AND I’LL GIVE
YOU MORE TIME.
>> OKAY, FINE.
>> THE GENDER GAP AT 11 POINTS
WAS THE LARGEST IN 20 YEARS.
>> RIGHT, RIGHT.
>> GO AHEAD.
>> BUT I THINK A LOT OF THAT WAS
ALSO MINORITY WOMEN.
AND DONALD TRUMP, I THINK WE WON
8% OF OVERALL AFRICAN-AMERICAN
VOTERS.
VOTERS. BUT I THINK WE HAD A BIG TURNOUT
IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN.
>> THE QUESTION IS IS DONALD
TRUMP WALKING AWAY AND WALKING
THE GOP AWAY FROM THESE WOMEN
VOTERS.
VOTERS. >> LOOK AT IVANKA.
SHE IS TALKING ABOUT JOB
TRAINING AND ALL THESE OTHER
THINGS.
THINGS. I THINK SHE’S VERY ENGAGED.
YOU SEE THE WAY DONALD TRUMP HAS
A TERRIFIC RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS
DAUGHTER AND HIS WIFE SHOWS WHAT
HE THINKS ABOUT THIS.
A LOT OF THINGS THAT PEOPLE JUMP
ON SOME OF THE TWEETS OR THEY
JUMPED ON SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT ALLEGEDLY HAPPENED DURING
THE CAMPAIGN OR WOMEN THAT CAME
OUT DURING THE CAMPAIGN TO STOP
IT AS WE PUSHED THAT.
LET’S GO TO BILLY BUSH WEEKEND.
EVERYBODY SAID HE SHOULD RESIGN.
PEOPLE WALKED AWAY FROM THE
CAMPAIGN.
CAMPAIGN. AND WHAT HE DID IS HE PRESENTED
THE FACTS OF THE LOCKER ROOM
TALK AND WE WENT TO ST. LOUIS
THE NEXT NIGHT AND I BROUGHT THE
PEOPLE THAT BILL CLINTON HAD
ACTUALLY MOLESTED.
ACTUALLY MOLESTED. I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
VOTED IN NOVEMBER.
>> YOU BROUGHT ADULT WOMEN WHO
WERE ACCUSERS OF BILL CLINTON
AND YOU SAID THEY SHOULD BE
HEARD.
HEARD. THE RESPONSE FROM PEOPLE IS WHAT
ABOUT THE ACCUSERS OF DONALD
TRUMP?
TRUMP? SHOULD THEY BE HEARD?
HE’S FACING SUITS FROM THEM.
AND ROY MOORE, WHO YOU BACKED,
OF COURSE, BASED HIS OWN
ACCUSERS, INCLUDEINGEING MULTIPL
WOMEN WHO SAY HE PREYED ON THEM
UNDER 18.
UNDER 18. YOU BROUGHT IT UP.
>> BY THE WAY, IF THEY WANT TO
COME FORWARD, THEY SHOULD COME
FORWARD.
FORWARD. SOME OF THEM ARE COMING FORWARD
IN THE COURT SYSTEM RIGHT NOW.
SO IF THEY WANT TO COME FORWARD,
THEY’RE NOT SHY ABOUT GOING
AFTER DONALD TRUMP.
BACK TO YOUR QUESTION, DONALD
TRUMP HASN’T ABANDONED WOMEN.
HE HAS NOT ABANDONED WOMEN AT
ALL.
ALL. IF YOU LOOK AT THE ECONOMY, IF
YOU LOOK AT WHAT HE’S DOING
ACROSS THE BOARD, THEY’RE THE
BENEFICIARIES OF THIS.
>> YOU BRING UP THOSE ACCUSERS.
>> YEP.
>> YEP. >> WHAT DO YOU SAY TO PEOPLE WHO
SEE YOUR BACKING OF ROY MOORE,
WHO WAS ACCUSED OF LEGALLY WORSE
THINGS AND THEY THINK -- I’LL
FINISH THE QUESTION AND YOU GET
TIME.
TIME. STEVE, STEVE, I WILL FINISH THE
QUESTION AND I WILL GIVE YOU
YOUR RESPONSE TIME.
>> YES, SIR.
>> WHAT DO YOU SAY TO PEOPLE WHO
SAY TO YOU, IS THE ONLY STANDARD
HERE PARTISAN SHIP AND WHETHER
YOU LIKE THE CANDIDATE IF YOU
ARE NOT GIVING ROY MOORE’S
ACCUSERS THE SAME TIME?
>> THEY HAD TIME DURING THE
TIME.
TIME. THEY CAME FORWARD.
THEY HAD THE WASHINGTON POST.
YOU CAN’T SIT THERE -- YOU CAN’T
SIT THERE AND NOT HAVE ADEQUATE
REPRESENTATION.
REPRESENTATION. >> THE QUESTION IS YOUR VIEW.
>> THE QUESTION GETS TO BE HOW
LEGITIMATE WERE THOSE?
DID THEY EVER TURN OUT TO BE
SOMETHING.
SOMETHING. >> DID IT EVER SHAKE YOUR VIEW?
>> NO.
>> NO. >> DID YOU SAY MAYBE I SHOULDN’T
BE WITH THIS PERSON?
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
BECAUSE WE LOOKED AT THE
ALLEGATIONS.
ALLEGATIONS. I DON’T BELIEVE IT THEN.
I DID NOT BELIEVE IT THEN.
I DO NOT BELIEVE IT TODAY.
MAYBE I CHANGE MY MIND.
BUT THE FACTS THAT I SAW THEN
AND THE FACTS I SEE NOW
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. >> BOTTOM LINE AND A LOT OF
PEOPLE DISAGREE VEHEMENTLY WITH
YOUR VIEW OF IT.
BUT YOU ARE SAYING WITH WHAT WAS
AN 11 POINT GAP THAT CURRENTLY
IS 20, YOU THINK SOMEHOW IT WILL
CLOSE.
CLOSE. >> I THINK SOMEHOW WE CAN
DEFINITELY CLOSE IT FROM 20.
DO WE GET IT TO THE 11?
I DON’T KNOW.
I THINK MORE IMPORTANTLY WE CAN
