Inside Bannon’s Bunker

[View this email in your browser]( [image-hive-ps-logo-final.jpg]( Inside Bannon’s Bunker Good Saturday morning, dear reader! We apologize, as ever, for interrupting you as you refurnish your Atlas-E missile silo, say; or brush up on the basics of organic candle making; or interrogate the town youth on the particularities of Cresson Kearny’s canonical Nuclear War Survival Skills (can your Japanese Shimpaku juniper survive without sunlight?). But it would be irresponsible to withhold from you the latest episodes of Nick Bilton’s Inside the Hive podcast and the artfully titled V.F. Hive on Cheddar, in addition to Gabriel Sherman’s fly-on-the-wall account of Steve Bannon’s latest crisis. We hope that you are enjoying what you are reading (. . . and watching . . . and listening to . . .). Have a great day! Nick Bilton Will Trump and Kim Blow Us into the Stone Age? Or will artificial intelligence destroy us first? On the latest episode of Inside the Hive, Kal Raustiala explains why the End of Days may be closer than you think. Benjamin Landy Will Trump Have to Excommunicate Don Jr.? And can Jared Kushner stay out of jail? The Hive’s crack team of reporters discuss this, and more, on the latest episode of V.F. Hive on Cheddar. Gabriel Sherman Did Steve Bannon Talk Himself Out of His Own Movement? After his comments about Don Jr. in Michael Wolff’s book were leaked, Bannon was ready to defend the president’s son and attack his new journalistic adversary—until Trump struck first. Now the tension between the president and his former adviser has reached critical mass. Can Bannon, who has his own gargantuan ego and a dangerous addiction to speaking to journalists, hold on to Breitbart?
