Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Trump Steve Bannon ? ( CNN ) This time last year    Steve Bannon  was on top of the world .  He  had shepherded Donald Trump to the most unlikely presidential victory ever .  He  was preparing to go with Trump to the White House as a senior strategist .  He  was the new hot thing .  Bannon  is   suddenly   a man without a friend left in the world . So what ' s  his  next act ? To answer that I reached out to my friend Josh Green   who wrote the incredible Bannon biography " Devil ' s Bargain :  Steve Bannon   Donald Trump    and the Storming of the Presidency ." Our email conversation about all things  Bannon  is below . Cillizza : Josh   as the foremost Bannonologist in the country -- if that ' s not a thing   I am making it a thing right now -- I turn to you for wisdom at this amazing moment .  Steve Bannon  appears to be totally and completely on the outs with Donald Trump    his  political patron   after talking ( at length ) to Michael Wolff for " Fire and Fury ." Trump said that  Bannon  lost  his  mind ! Trump appears to be WAY angrier at  Bannon  than when he actually fired him a few months back . So is this the end of the end ? A seven - year political friendship turned into " Sloppy Steve " Green : What  Bannon  did by talking to Wolff for this book -- and by extension   probably   talking to me for my book -- is pour a can of gasoline over  his  head and light a match .  Trump  appears to have broken with  him  in a way that seems final and ultimate   even tagging  him  with a dreaded nickname   " Sloppy Steve  " which I think we can all admit is pretty fantastic .  Bannon  has been in the doghouse before and come back . I hear that  he  thinks  he  can come back from this   too . We ' ll see ; nothing ' s ever quite impossible in  Trump  ' s world . You can never say never . As  Bannon  has told people in the past   Trump is entirely transactional . But if  he  loses  his  platform at Breitbart News   then it ' s hard for me to see how  he  ' ll be able to wield the kind of influence that I describe in " Devil ' s Bargain  " and that  he  seemed to have regained after leaving the White House last year . Cillizza : Let ' s talk about  Bannon  and Breitbart . There ' s reporting out there they may oust him . And Rebekah Mercer   one of the major financial patrons of Breitbart ( and  Bannon  )  said publicly that she and he are not on speaking terms and she ' s not going to be funding what he does anymore . What ' s weird to me is that it appears Bannon ' s quotes on  Trump  to Wolff have had a far more profound effect on his role at Breitbart -- and in the conservative firmament more generally -- then when he was fired by  Trump  ! After that   he was welcomed as a conquering hero back into Breitbart ! Is it solely the Wolff book ? And is  Bannon  really in danger of losing  his  Breitbart platform ? Green : The reason uber - wealthy people like the Mercers become involved in politics is to exert influence .  Bannon  was an agent of that influence   and the architect . And  he  did   for a time   have a profound influence on American politics that culminated in Trump ' s election .  Bannon  was the real force behind Breitbart ; the head honcho at GAI   which produced the " Clinton Cash " book so damaging to Hillary ' s candidacy ; and a board member at Cambridge Analytica : The reason uber - wealthy people like the Mercers become involved in politics is to exert influence .  Bannon  was an agent of that influence   and the architect . And  he  did   for a time   have a profound influence on American politics that culminated in Trump ' s election .  Bannon  was the real force behind Breitbart ; the head honcho at GAI   which produced the " Clinton Cash " book so damaging to Hillary ' s candidacy ; and a board member at Cambridge Analytica   the data research firm that worked on the Trump campaign So as an investment   Bannon really did pay off for the Mercers like early -' 80s Apple stock . The problem is that effectiveness waned almost immediately upon entering the White House   and that   coupled with his megalomania and his belief that he was the true leader of the nationalist movement   backfired on him big time .  Trump  obviously doesn ' t value him the way that he did a year ago . With the humiliation of Moore ' s loss in Alabama and the devastating quotes in Wolff ' s book attacking  Trump '  s family   there was really no reason to keep him around . And when Trump turns on someone   he really TURNS on them ! Cillizza : I am STUNNED that Bannon ever entertained the idea of a presidential bid . That would   um   never work . But let ' s assume -- just for the purpose of the conversation -- he hangs on at Breitbart . How does he start to rebuild what he ' s lost ? And just for the thought experiment : If Breitbart jettisons Bannon -- where does he go then ? Green : Look   here on planet Earth we ' re all rightly astonished that  Bannon  holds ( held ?) But the psychology would work as follows :  Bannon  has always thought that  Trump  was riding a global nationalist wave that ' d swept across Europe   the UK and now the US .  Trump  embraced that politics --  Bannon  ' s politics -- and got elected . So clearly the ideas resonate in the US . If  Trump  were to decide against running for re - election   Bannon   believing  he  ' s the true carrier of the faith   must ' ve thought   " Why not me ?" Like his ex - boss   he ' s always been a guy with a healthy ego . But if he were to lose the Breitbart platform   it ' s hard for me to envision what vehicle he would use to lead such a movement and how he would fund it . But he ' s not self - fund - a - presidential - campaign rich . So a presidential bid is off . [ Shakes hands   nods   walks away .] BUT   what then does Bannon do ? This guy is a news animal . He appears to be totally obsessed with the media   the battle of ideas between the two parties   all of it . It feels impossible for someone like Steve Bannon to just disappear from   well   anywhere -- especially a world in which Donald Trump is president . Green : In the near term   Bannon does ( and is doing ) what everybody who wants to influence and ingratiate themselves to Trump does : Flatter him with obsequious praise . It shouldn '  t  be lost on anyone that after Bannon called Trump a " great man " on  his  radio show on the evening of  his  own defenestration   Trump quickly learned about it ( probably from a cable TV chyron ) and mentioned this to reporters at the White House pool spray on Thursday . I ' m skeptical it ' ll work . But that ' s the only path back for Bannon that I can imagine . Or   heck   why doesn ' t he run for president ? It ' s an automatic way to get in front of the cameras and spread a message .

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Tim Pawlenty ? "I'm very thankful for my red-hot smoking wife  the first lady of Minnesota " said Gov. Tim Pawlenty  pointing to his wife  Mary  who was standing a few feet away.
 With that  the Pawlenty road show began this weekend in Iowa  the place where presidential aspirations are born. It was Pawlenty's fifth visit in less than a year  one of many signs that he is working the state as intently as any prospective Republican presidential hopeful.
 road show began this weekend in Iowa  the place where presidential aspirations are born. It was Pawlenty's fifth visit in less than a year  one of many signs that he is working the state as intently as any prospective Republican presidential hopeful.
 While Pawlenty may not have millions of followers on Facebook like Palin or the personal wealth or name recognition of Romney  he has an invaluable form of currency here: proximity to Iowa.
 Minnesota  where he is finishing his second term as governor  borders Iowa on the north. And just like Obama  whose state adjoined Iowa on the east  Pawlenty can easily stop by  as he intends to do again next week for the Iowa State Fair.
 second term as governor  borders Iowa on the north. And just like Obama  whose state adjoined Iowa on the east  Pawlenty can easily stop by  as he intends to do again next week for the Iowa State Fair.
 Last weekend  he was surrounded by some of the state's best Republican talent. Sara Taylor Fagen  a White House political director for President George W. Bush  not only introduced Pawlenty to local activists but also was behind the wheel as she gave the Pawlentys a tour of her native northeast Iowa.
 Pawlenty  49  is presenting himself as a Main Street authentic conservative  who twice won statewide election as a Republican in a progressive state. He says Republicans need to shed the stereotype that their party is rooted solely in the country club and the board room. He mentions none of his potential rivals by name  of course  but it is not lost on Republicans that he is seeking to become an alternative to Romney.
 Pawlenty's visibility has grown in Republican circles since he was a finalist to be Sen. John McCain's running mate in 2008. Asked whether he benefited from not being chosen  Pawlenty paused for a moment and said  "It seems like Sarah Palin has done very well  having been selected."
 In addition to his Iowa trips  Pawlenty has visited New Hampshire  site of the first presidential primary  and has traveled across the country to help Republicans. He has raised more than $2.5 million for his Freedom First political action committee  some of which he is contributing to state and federal candidates.
 While Palin and Romney have made similar contributions  they have done so from afar. As Pawlenty said his goodbyes on the farm outside of Waverly  he pulled a $500 check from his pocket and presented it directly to Bill Dix  a candidate for the Iowa Senate.
 On a sultry afternoon  sweat was soaking into Pawlenty's white shirt as he spoke individually with nearly everyone in the crowd of about 100. (He positioned himself by the lunch buffet  so a handshake was an easy stop on the way to the barbecued pork  potato salad and baked beans.)
 His conversations and speeches were peppered with homespun one-liners  including the quip about his wife  which he has been telling Minnesota crowds for years.
 On why he believes Democrats have struggled creating jobs: "It's pretty tough to be pro-job and anti-business. That's like being pro-egg and anti-chicken. It doesn't work so well."
 He drew respectable applause at the picnic and a few hours later at fund-raiser for a Republican candidate in Cedar Rapids  where he had changed into a suit and tie. At each stop  he does not leave until the last hand has been shaken. But the congeniality does not mean that people will automatically sign on if he runs for president  a decision he said he would make early next year.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rodrigo Duterte ? Investigators will determine the cause of the fire and the prospects of criminal lawsuits against the mall owners and officials would depend on the outcome of the investigation  said the mayor  who is  the daughter of President Rodrigo Duterte .
Duterte  the mayor and Roman Catholic Church officials went to the site and met with relatives of the trapped office employees late Saturday and asked them to pray.  The president  was photographed wiping  his  eyes with a handkerchief   his  head bowed  at an emotional moment with the relatives.

 Duterte  served as Davao mayor for many years before being elected to the presidency last year.
It's been a difficult year for the tough-talking  72-year-old leader  who faced  his  most serious crisis when hundreds of pro-Islamic State group extremists laid siege on Marawi city  also in the southern third of the Philippines.  He  declared martial law in the south to deal with the insurrection  which troops crushed in October.
