Trump got it right the first time. Why does it matter? It comes as another indication that the president may be edging away from the conservative-populist ideo- logue as an inner-circle rift plays out in the White House. A look at some of his statements in the interviews and in a brief news confer- ence Wednesday: TRUMP: “I like Steve, but you have to remember he was not involved in my campaign until very late. I had already beaten all the senators and all the governors, and I didn’t know Steve. I’m my own strategist and it wasn’t like I was going to change strategies because I was facing crooked Hillary.” THE FACTS: Bannon was far from a stranger when he came on board near the start of the general election campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton. Trump and Bannon had known each other for five years when the Republican NEW YORK (AP) — Charlie Murphy, older brother of Eddie Murphy and a comedy stand-up and performer in his own right, has died. Murphy died We d n e s d a y in New York of leukemia, according to his representative, Domenick Nati. Murphy was 57.

The band, whose music blended blues rock, R&B, soul and pop, released 11 studio albums and built a large following due to their ener- getic live shows, as well as their unusual use of the harmonica as a lead instrument. The band broke up in 1985 but reunited off and on over the years. Its biggest hits included “Must of Got Lost,” which reached No. 12 on Billboard’s Top 100 in 1975, and “Love Stinks,” a humorous rant against unre- quited love, the title song of the group’s 1980 album. The song “Centerfold,” from the album “Freeze Frame,” was released in 1981 and eventu- ally charted at No. 1 on the pop chart in February 1982. It stayed there for six weeks. The band was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the fourth time last fall but once again was not selected as part of the 2017 class. &RDVWHU 0RWLRQ6RID 6LQRPD 6WDUWLQJDW 7;/ 7ZLQ0DWWUHVVHV 1RZ 0DWWUHVV6HW $GDOLQD3LOORZ7RS 48((1 0DWWUHVV6HW 1RZ 2ZHQGDOH3LOORZ7RS 48((1 Ghost in the Shell (PG13) 4:20 6:40 9:50 GROTON, Mass. (AP) — Musician J. Geils, founder of The J. Geils Band, known for such peppy early ‘80s pop hits as “Freeze Frame” and “Centerfold,” has died in his Massachusetts home. He was 71. Groton police said officers responded to Geils’ home around 4 p.m. Geils Tuesday for a well-being check and found him unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at the scene. “A preliminary investi- gation indicates that Geils died of natural causes,” police said in a statement. The J. Geils Band was founded in 1967 in Worcester, Massachusetts, while Geils, whose full name was John Warren Geils Jr., was studying mechanical engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Geils served as the band’s guitarist.

Addressing that rift, Trump told the Post: “Steve is a good guy, but I told them to straighten it out or I will.” TRUMP: “I think we’re doing very well on health care. It’s been very much misre- ported that we failed with health care.” — Interview with Fox Business Network, broadcast Wednesday THE FACTS: That may well be the president’s opinion, but there’s little evidence objectively to back it up. It’s been nearly three weeks since House Speaker Paul Ryan yanked the Repub- lican bill intended to repeal and replace much of Barack Obama’s health care law. The problem: disagreements among GOP hardliners and moderates whose votes are needed to pass legislation that has no Democratic support. Since then, negotiations have led to some tweaks, but no 635,1* &OHDQXS $5 Classic Movie 938-4327 Gates Open GATES OPEN at AT 7:00 7:00 p.m. P.M.

Come- dian Chris Rock tweeted that “We just lost one of the funniest most real brothers of all time.” Former basket- ball great Magic Johnson tweeted that “I haven’t seen anything as funny as Charlie Murphy & Dave Chappelle’s skits on the Chappelle’s Show!” and “Hamilton” playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeted that Murphy was a “HABITUAL line- stepper...” whose “story- telling was hilarious and unforgettable.” Murphy’s feature films include “Our Family Wedding,” “King’s Ransom” and “CB4.” He is credited with appearances to air later this year on the TV drama series “Power.” 4/13 Going In Style (PG13) 5:00 7:20 9:30 M-F FM/AM DRIVE - IN RADIO SOUND candidate, a month after accepting the nomination, hired the Breitbart executive as his campaign CEO. David Bossie, who was deputy campaign manager, told AP after Trump took office that he introduced them in 2011 at Trump Tower and they grew to know each well, as Trump appeared multiple times on Bannon’s Breitbart radio show. Bannon interviewed Trump at least nine times in 2015 and 2016 and members of his family and campaign on many other occasions. “They believe in each other’s agendas, which is why they have grown so close,” Bossie said. On Aug. 17, the Trump campaign announced the hiring of Bannon and the appointment of Kellyanne Conway as campaign manager. The statement quoted Trump as saying: “”I have known Steve and Kelly- anne both for many years.” Friction has surfaced among Trump advisers, Comedian Charlie Murphy, borther of Eddie, dies at 57 Marlene Joy Sharer McFadden Umatilla Dec. 31, 1934-April 11, 2017 AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File In this Feb. 3 photo, President Donald Trump and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon are seen in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington. apparent breakthroughs. The Republican bill remains deeply unpopular. March polls by Fox News and Quinnipiac University found overall margins of opposition to the legisla- tion approaching or even exceeding those for Obama’s law at its lowest point. A recent Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found that among seven major issues tested, the president got his worst rating on health care. About 6 in 10 disapproved of Trump’s handling of the issue. TRUMP: “The car industry is not going to leave us anymore, believe me. The car industry is staying in our country. They were leaving — if I didn’t win this election, you would have lost your car industry to Mexico and to other countries. They’re not leaving anymore, believe me. There’s retribution if they leave. There was no retribution.” — Fox Business interview THE FACTS: The only “retribution” he has meted out has come on Twitter and in other rhetorical forms. He hasn’t signed any laws or instituted rules to punish fleeing industries. In fact, Ford Motor Co. is still planning to move small car production from Michigan to an existing plant in Mexico next year. Trump has made keeping auto manufacturing jobs in the U.S. a theme, needling those and other companies that planned to move opera- tions out of the country. +DYHLW<RXU:D\ 5HFOLQHUV 3RZHU 0RWLRQ *UHJ·V 6OHHS&HQWHU /LIW&KDLUV 6WDUWLQJDW 6RIDV¶Q0RUH :HHNGD\V$3 2SHQ6XQ13 '4'6*'5614';174.11-+0)(14T +HUPLVWRQ 0RQWKV,QWHUHVW)UHH)LQDQFLQJ 2$& 1RUWK+Z\&RWWDJH3OD]D <RXU+RPHWRZQ)XUQLWXUH0DWWUHVV6WRUH
