Having trouble viewing this email? | View it in your browser   In dozens of hours of audio recordings reviewed by USA TODAY of his Breitbart News Daily radio show in 2015 and 2016, White House strategist Stephen Bannon repeatedly warned listeners that Islam is "the most radical" religion in the world. He said the United States is engaged in a civilizational struggle against Islamists as well as their sympathizers in the government and media. Those recordings, preserved online, offer an often unfiltered window into the thinking of President Trump's interview-averse senior adviser, who has ascended in just months from relative obscurity to become one of Trump's most influential advisers on domestic and national security issues.
