[00:00.16]President Donald Trump's chief political strategist, Steve Bannon,
[00:05.60]has received much media attention since starting his job at the White House.
[00:13.20]Last week, Trump reorganized his National Security Council
[00:19.12]to give Bannon a seat on its "principals committee."
[00:25.00]Lawmakers and former administration officials criticized the move.
[00:31.92]They said Bannon should focus on his role as political adviser
[00:38.60]instead of attending meetings with national security and military officials.
[00:47.80]Bannon also recently spoke out against the U.S. news media
[00:53.84]in an interview with the New York Times.
[00:57.44]He said, "the media here is the opposition party.
[01:04.04]He added that he believes that news organizations had been
[01:09.84]"humiliated" by the 2016 presidential election result.
[01:16.96]"They don't understand this country.
[01:20.16]They still do not understand why Donald Trump
[01:24.88]is the president of the United States," Bannon said.
[01:30.40]He was not immediately available for an interview with VOA.
[01:37.72]Bannon was born in November 1953 to working-class parents in Norfolk, Virginia.
[01:48.44]He once described growing up in "a blue-collar, Irish Catholic,
[01:55.08]pro-Kennedy, pro-union family of Democrats."
[02:01.20]His father, a telephone worker, was badly affected by the 2008 economic crisis.
[02:10.96]Bannon himself has criticized bankers and traders
[02:16.52]who were not punished for their role in starting the worst financial crisis
[02:23.24]since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
[02:29.12]Bannon studied urban affairs at Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
[02:35.48]According to the Boston Globe newspaper,
[02:38.96]Bannon returned home to Richmond, Virginia,
[02:43.40]during the summer to work in a local junkyard.
[02:48.57]He went on to earn a graduate degree from Georgetown University in Washington D.C.,
[02:57.08]and later a master's in Business Administration from Harvard University.
[03:05.60]Bannon served for seven years in the U.S. Navy aboard ships.
[03:12.00]He also served on a guided missile destroyer in the Persian Gulf.
[03:18.64]Later, he was a special assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations in the Pentagon.
[03:27.56]After his military service, Bannon went to work for investment bank Goldman Sachs.
[03:35.96]He later started his own investment company.
[03:40.20]He also produced films in Hollywood.
[03:44.04]Bannon produced more than a dozen movies during the 1990s.
[03:50.88]During that time, he made a deal that gave him a piece of ownership of several television shows.
[04:00.24]One of them was the hit show "Seinfeld,"
[04:04.44]which ended up making him millions of dollars.
[04:09.84]Before joining Trump's campaign,
[04:12.72]Bannon served as executive chairman of Breitbart News, a conservative news site.
[04:21.92]He took over the site after founder Andrew Breitbart died in 2012.
[04:30.08]Bannon has described the news site as a "platform"
[04:35.36]for what has been called the Alternative Right, or "alt-right."
[04:42.32]The alt-right is a far-right movement that
[04:46.72]publicizes – largely on the Internet – extreme conservative ideas.
[04:55.00]Under Bannon's leadership, the website published stories
[04:59.92]supporting nationalist, anti-establishment positions.
[05:06.12]It also published many stories in support of Trump
[05:11.08]and others critical of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate.
[05:18.80]Breitbart News has been criticized for publishing stories with racist and sexist ideas.
[05:29.16]One headline asked, "Would you rather your child had feminism or cancer?"
[05:38.72]Bannon left Breitbart News in 2016
[05:43.36]to work as a senior member of Trump's presidential campaign.
[05:49.36]He said he has had nothing to do with Breitbart since then.

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
