the one thing you don't want is the people in the military having to ask questions bethe directions they're receiving from the commander in chief. >> certainly any ambiguity, problematic there. if there's one show i would want to watch for all this, it would be "hardball." lucky for us, that starts now. >> street fight. let's play "hardball." good evening. i'm chris matthews in washington. we're following a late explosive story emerging from a white house which now seems paralyzed by constant seething chaos. ryan from the new yorker magazine just published an object sent laced interview with anthony scaramucci attack reince priebus, leakers and the chief strategist of all, steve bannon. after one week on the job,

scaramucci has made his presence known, trying to conduct a russian style purge on behalf of the president, cleansing the white house of any and all leakers, disloyal to the president's agenda. scaramucci fired a clear warning shot late today saying, what i want to do is i want to expletive kill all the leakers. and i want to get the president's agenda on track so we can succeed for the american people. his primary target, reince priebus. he is a paranoid schizophrenic, within the last hour. scaramucci tweeted, i sometimes use colorful language. i will refrain in this arena but not give tim passionate fight for real donald trump's agenda. that's hardly a clean-up. separately, he accused him of leaking his financial disclosure forms politico which reported his net worth from his former hedge fund. scaramucci tweeted, in lightest leak of my financial disclosure info, which is a felony, i'll be

contacting fbi and justice department #swamp. he then referenced reince priebus at the end of the tweet. his reference to priebus which has now been deleted was a bazooka across the bow. he called him for deliberately leaking that report. watch. >> we would like to tell everybody, who the senior leakers are in the white house. as fruyou know, the fish stinks from the head down. >> when i put out a tweet and i put reince's name in the tweet, they're all making the assumption that it is him. if reince wants to explain that it is not him, let him do that.

>> an accusation was further evidence of a stewing street brawl behind the scenes at the white house. just last week, he tried on block the hiring of the financier. he papered over it saying they were like brothers. well, today is a very different story. brothers, he said, like cain and abel. >> if you want to talk about the chief of staff, we've had odds, we have had differences. when i said we were brothers from the podium, that's because we're rough on each other. some brothers are like cain and abel. others can fight with each other and get along. i don't know if it is repairable or not, that will be up to the president. but he's the chief of staff. >> in the bible, cain murdered abel. it is unclear who survives this one. scaramucci seems to see himself as go cain.

>> you're loving every moment of this. you were watching this morning, stephanie. i'm going to let you lead this off. this is like the jets and the sharks. not west wing, "westside story." this guy goes trumpeting into the white house, he calls out priebus, the so-called, i must say. i'll going to get you. you're the chief leaker. he seems to have trump behind him in this. why again as in the case of sessions, doesn't trump push the button? why doesn't he bring in jack polantz to do the shooting for him. >> this is perfect for trump. you said something earlier. he started on the job a week ago. that's not correct. there's an important point to make. >> i called the white house today. i know. i called the white house.

he is not financially on the books yet. >> but this is what is important. anthony scaramucci has one goal. to sell his company sky bridge capital. there's one for the coil, a chinese could not glom raflt meaning if this deal doesn't go through, if they pass looks out below. there's no one underneath him. he's selling the coil for $180 million so he himself will pocket $90 million. then if he has a job in the white house, he transfers that to treasuries, he gets the tax deferral. he needs to get regulatory approval for a chinese conglomerate to buy your company thunder jute any in this administration. that ain't easy. do you know who runs the regulator? the treasury department. steve mnuchin. if he shows up and pleases the president, and i am speaking to people inside the white house who say white house their heads spinning. what in the world is going on? dhung lost it? trump. >> wait a minute.

let's short end this. this is such a new york analysis. i want d.c. political analysis. why is this guy blowing his little bugle at priebus? why is he doing that? you didn't tell me why. >> anthony wanted a position from the get-go. and reince priebus didn't want him there. be the last person to have trump's ear. and you tell me. who do you think donald trump likes to hang out with more? reince priebus from wisconsin in the gop or anthony scaramucci from new york who name drops the president of the yankees and likes the say trump's tower is magnificent. that's the link. >> if he's going to make scaramucci, the mooch, the boss, the real chief of staff, why doesn't he make the move? >> donald trump doesn't necessarily want to be the guy firing people.

he loves to watch the drama play out. he loves that we're not talking about paul manafort, jared and don junior. guess who went to work today? robert mueller. he was at work. that's what is under his skin. >> mueller is a special counsel. every special counsel ends up prosecuting. they all do. that's why trump has to fight him. it was archie cox, jaworski, will nixon, they brought in lawrence walsh who spent nine years going after w's father. then what's his nail? ken starr. he went from whitewater which was not anything to paula jones which was a lot of money about, a million dollars. then he goes to good old monica lewinsky and nails the president. so they don't quit. they metastasize these guys. they grow, they grow, they grow until they find some dirt and

they light up and their career is made for them and they announce in a press conference, i daughter dicaught the dirty d. they don't ever say, clean as a hounds tooth. they never do that. >> the president has been looking over his shoulder. >> the mooch provides the bright shining object. that everybody he will talk about. meanwhile there are other things being laid. what is interesting is now the senate is upping its game. you heard today, senator mccain and others talk about do not touch. >> do not touch the special prosecutor and do not touch the attorney general. the president is trying to figure out which lane will get him to his ultimate goal, to remove both those gentlemen at

the end of the day. >> we're destroying something larger here. >> the white house is now a locker room. right? you can't even put on what he said about steve bannon. right? it was vulgar, self-important. these people are diminishing the white house. this behavior should not be allowed. democrat or republican. this is not normal behavior. let's look at this awful new yorker interview. i agree it is gross. he makes clear, he'll do whatever it takes to weed out the leakers. he is threatening to fire entire communications department. this is street corner guy. i fired one guy other day. i have three or four people i'll fire tomorrow. this is scaramucci. i'll get to the person who pleekd to you. reince priebus, if you want to leak something, he'll be asked

to resign very shortly. let me go back to stephanie. he talks like trump. >> he does and trump likes it. he says to ryan, i fired a guy a couple days ago. yet he said on the record yesterday, well, we let him resign. he is saying a few different things. then he put out a statement saying i used colorful language. i shouldn't do that and i won't going forward. look at the tweet anthony scaramucci put out. look at the responses. you have trump supporters in there saying, speak truth. i love the passion. right on, man. we can say all day long this is below the white house. this is despicable, disgraceful. it doesn't seem to rile the base. it is extraordinary. crushing. >> okay. well, he went into a vulgar tirade saying we can't even get near language he used on this. accusing him of serving his own self-interests. >> i'm not trying to build my brand off the strength of the

president. look it up if you want to get closed out. it is too graphic even to put on the screen. >> we both know this expression about the fish rots from the top and it was all, i'm sorry. i remember dukakis pulled the same thing 30, 40 years ago. apparently it is a greco and italian thing. it is clear he means reince priebus as the guy who stinks. this is white house communications director who has come in to clean up the swamp. this is all happening late this afternoon. >> what do you think? >> it wasn't a fair fight. >> it was not a fair fight.

>> from the very beginning the president has been undermining the authority of the chief of staff by allowing others to come directly to him. to go around the chief of staff and to posit himself as the gate keeper of his own door. and that has made it difficult for reince priebus to put in the kind of structure to avoid the very thing we're sitting here talking about tonight. and that will be his undoing. >> when president trump was trying to make a deal with comey, he told him to get out of the room. remember that? >> i'm sorry. jump in. president trump is very frustrated with gop leadership. they haven't fallen into line. that's how he sees reince priebus. that he was put into that seat. he is an outsider to trump. and every time he sees reince

priebus, he sees paul ryan's face. he doesn't like the sight of him and anthony is doing his bidding for him. >> usually around this time of night. what we all like, fwls 5:30, the news gives us something. "the new york times," "washington post," axios, somebody has good story. somebody in the white house is feeding this stuff out. it is almost always negative toward the president. what is going on? why are so many people in the white house, i had a report he sitting next to me. she laughed when i said has the leaking stopped? it hasn't. it is like a titanic. it leaks, it leaks. they don't have any loyalty to the president. why are these people, and i'm no pal of what they're doing there. why would somebody take a political job at the white house and trash the guy who gave them the job? who are they loyal to if not the person that they took job from? the president in this case?

>> because for many of them, they feel president isn't loyal to them. >> what? >> they should quit. >> they this quit. >> no. they haven't. >> they're doing the country a service. because a lot of what we found out comes from leakers. look. this is not normal behavior. >> working at the white house is an honor and a privilege. it is a tough job. >> why do you think they're leaking? >> what we're saying in the white house is not normal. >> they're good guys. >> yeah. they are. >> well, they may or may not be. there are agendas being served here. >> they relate to capitol hill. as you've just said. it is one of those relationships. and there are others within the white house. a lot of these folks, particularly below the senior

level come from the hill. they have worked for senators and congressmen and various think tarngs around town. so this association there to that part of washington he doesn't like is what he can't seem to control. >> scaramucci, you can fire everybody in the com shot today. trust me. there will be a leak tomorrow. >> they go down the hall and use their little cell phones. if you think they're proud of that, you're cdc. >> the leaking that has the president upset, none of this is confidential information. so anthony scaramucci says i'll calling the department of justice. it is not classified. what's classified is the russians in the oval office. >> your fellow workers and your boss behind the scenes. >> if what he's doing is hurting the country. >> they started this before. it is not a good crew of people. i'm sorry. >> have you seen the president?

>> you are working both sides of the street. >> all right. rat finks. >> jeff sessions has never had so many friends in his life as he does today. people are getting behind jeff sessions because they're saying, please, save the democracy. just put that in your pipe and smoke it. >> it may not be scaramucci. it is somebody. it is not happening yet. thank you form new york point of view. a business point of view which i find difficult to absorb but i try. i'm learning. >> the china thing. >> don't get confused. >> you may be right. you often are. coming up, lindsey graham of south carolina says there will be holy hell to pay if the

president fires jeff sessions. that could be our big story tonight even as we speak. >> plus, just this week he said he should be on mt. rushmore. he got political on a boy scouts jamboree and now the head of the boy scouts is forced to apologize for the president. the hostility between the white house and congress is nearing an all time high. there's another big fight brewing between two sides. russian sanctions. will trump to look veto the sanctionses to show putin he has his back? it looks like he will override the veto to show everyone is against him. finally trump watch.

(singsong) budget meeting. sweet. if you compare last quarter... it's no wonder everything seems a little better with the creamy taste of philly, made with no artificial preservatives, flavours or dyes. we showed a graphic that included a word that was inappropriate for television. our putting it on was

inadvertent and people were offended and they should be offended. they're super concentrated, so i get a better clean. number one trusted. number one awarded. it's got to be tide if you could book a flight, then add a hotel, or car, or activity in one place and save, where would you go? ♪ expedia.

you've seen the president's criticism of you. do you think it's fair? >> the president is a strong leader. he is determined to move the president in the direction it needs to go to make us great again and he has had a lot of criticisms and he is steadfastly determined on get his job done. he wants all of us to do our jobs and that's what i intends to do. >> that was attorney general jeff sessions way down south. responding to on criticism. he is in el salvador today. the "washington post" reports that trump talks privately with confidantes. he has been warned not to move

to push him out because of the political and legal ramifications. sarah huckabee sanders called that fake news. while the president's attack on sessions has eliscited comments from capitol hill. the committee chair can't consider someone any time soon. quote, nerve d.c. should be warned the agenda for the judiciary committee is set for the rest of 2017. judges first, sub cabinet second, asecond ag no way. >> if jeff sessions is fired, there will be holy hell to pay. anyert to go after mueller could be the beginning of the end of the trump presidency unless mueller did something wrong. i'm working on legislation that i will introduce next week with republicans, and some democrats. i think you get all the democrats. i home i can get a good number

of republican that's will say the following. a special counsel cannot be fired when they were impanelled to investigate the president or his team unless you have judicial review of the firing. not just for trump, but for any future president. we need a check and balance here. this is not draining the swamp. what he is interjecting is turning democracy upside down. >> i'm joined by richard blumenthal. andy carney, and you're all joining us now. senator blumenthal, i've been waiting for a republican to stand up, man or woman, southerner, northerner, and stand up for the constitution and our american form of government. i'm beginning to see a couple of them do that. they're standing up against this wild narcissistic manner of this president. >> i've been talking to senator graham and a number of my

colleagues about exactly this topic houflt to protect the integrity and independence of the spounl. let me say very bluntly. the president of the united states firing bob mueller would be an historic admission of guilt without a scintilla of cause. to fire a special prosecutor whose career is beyond reproach, and who has engaged in absolutely nothing challengeable, would be an historic admission of guilt. this investigation will go forward. the remarks that you heard from senator graham a clear reflection of a growing sense on both sides of the aisle that there need to be efforts to protect the integrity and independence of the department of justice, most particularly

the special prosecutor. >> you've been attorney general in connecticut of your state, elected a couple of times. let me ask you about this. if you're donald trump, and if you're machiavellian, and he is, if you look at the history of special counsels, independent prosecutors going back to jaworski, before that, archibald cox, and ken starr, they always end up prosecuting, or trying to, if you're trump, aren't you afraid that it will not be about russia. it will be about some issue, they'll go after his taxes, they'll look at everything he's done for 20 or 30 years or what his kids have done and find something. doesn't trump have the political sense to try to forestall that somehow? or is there some way you can limit the power of a special counsel? or should you limit the sxrank scope of the special counsel?

>> our effort is to limit the power of the president to fire special counsel, to protect against completely arbitrary and todcapricious firing through perhaps a judicial review. i've been in discussions about exactly what the options are. how best to do it. the point is, your point is well taken, that donald trump is unpredictable. but there are ways to prevent this kind of firing that would directly obstruct justice. it would be not only an admission of guilt. it would be an obstruction of justice to do it without any the cause whatsoever. >> hold on. tell me, what is the best reporting right now about what trump is up to, with mueller, firing sessions or pushing him out? >> my reporting is that he

doesn't actually want to get rid of him. he wants him to know he's angry. he wants to push him to start investigations that he cares about. we see republicans from inside and on the hill defending sessions. >> does he want him out or in? >> he is very angry with sessions. he's been convinced, they're calling him to calm down, cool it off, recognizing this is a political problem for him but also creating a potential -- >> i'm going to interrupt. he knows what they don't. he knows what he's done wrong the last ten years or whatever. he knows what he's gun the russians. they don't know how much trouble he's been in. >> he insists privately and publicly that he's done nothing wrong but he is very bothered by the russian probe.

he doesn't want them going into his personal finances. there's a lot that mueller will be looking into and the president wants to stop it. >> is there still a sense that where he's vulnerable, he doesn't know for sure how far his people, including michael flynn and his son-in-law and his son, colluding with the russians. >> he has -- sne manafort, for example. there was testimony. indicating anyone going to that meeting with the russian foreign agents in early june, 2016, had fo to know that this information came from vladimir putin. that these two individuals, that

they were agents of the russian government. as much as that must be troubling, that michael flynn, paul manafort, who clearly have very deep and poeexposure here, possibly looking the make deals and tell the special counsel what we know in what donald trump has done. and remember, that these threats and intimidation started when the special counsel started delving into the president's business dealings. so business dealings with the russians, it has to be on his mind as well. >> let's start with the june 2016 e-mail that said basically what you said, senator. that the russians, the government was out to help trump win and make sure hillary clinton did not win. once that information was in the pipeline, the son, the

son-in-law, the daughter, all the people including flynn and sessions, all the characters in this shakespearean move, they were all in on it. every meeting substantive to that, wasn't it collusion? >> very possibly part of a conspiracy to join the russians in interfering in our democratic process and what the special counsel is doing now, very like likely, following the money. following the money. it is a modus operandi to follow the money. keep in mind on robert mueller's mind, what did the president know and when did he know it? the president has said that he was aware of the e-mail promising that damaging

information on hillary clinton. he said he didn't know about the meeting. what did the president know and when did he know it? >> thank you so much. we'll have more time next time. up next, trump's greatest fits. the head of the boy scouts apologizes for the president's political speech. never talk politics before those boys. this is "hardball" where the action is. progressive's new home quote explorer. where you can compare multiple quote options online and choose what's right for you. woah. flo and jamie here to see hqx. flo and jamie request entry. slovakia. triceratops. tapioca. racquetball. staccato. me llamo jamie. pumpernickel. pudding. employee: hey, guys! home quote explorer. it's home insurance made easy. password was "hey guys." it's home insurance made easy. take the zantac it challenge! pill works fast? zantac works in as little as 30 minutes. nexium can take 24 hours. when heartburn strikes, take zantac for faster relief than

i would ask whether or not you think i should someday be on mt. rushmore. if i did it, here's the problem. if i did it joking, totally fun, the fake media would say he believes he should be on mt. rushmore. i won't say it. okay? >> that's something, isn't it? that was president trump joking about the prospect that his face might one day be added to mt. rushmore. he floated his latest grand delusion one day after delivering a speech, 40,000 boy scouts. >> who the hell wants to speak about politics when i'm in front of the boy scouts? i go to washington and i see the

politicians and i see the swamp. we ought to change it from the word swamp to the word cesspool or perhaps to the word sewer. secretary tom price is also here today. dr. price. by the way, are you going to get the votes? he better get them. he better get them. oh, he'd better. otherwise, i'll say, tom, you're fired. as the scout law says, a scout is trustworthy, loyal, we could use some more loyalty, i will tell you that. by the way, just a question. did president obama ever come to a jamboree? >> tonight the head of the boy scouts across the country issued a letter apologizing for that performance. the political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree was never our intent. he added, it is in no way an endorsement of any person, party

or policies. >> she said i hadn't seen it but she was there and saw nothing but cheering from the crowd. i'm joined by dana milbank. i think that's fairly rotten to use those kids as a studio audience. i would have thought that odd if a president shows up and gave a political speech. >> i only made tender foot but i know enough, that's something we've never seen before and we say it all the time. i love this notion that we're six months into the term and he is indeed joking about mt. rushmore. the quest to climb mt. rushmore to him would end a bit like the book into thin air. in better news, he's already reached the pinnacle of mt. crazy. >> he's brought scaramucci to imitate him. he is like mini me. i think it is getting water.

sometimes i think the purpose of donald trump is this moment. his entire purpose is this moment. whatever that moment is. >> can he have the crowd of 40,000 boys eating out of his hand and forgetting even who he is talking to? i think we forget. there's so much crazy all the time. >> go for it. >> this all happened within the last week. we have the white house communications director in this obscene interview saying the president's chief strategist in the white house is doing something anatomically impossible to himself. he calls the chief of staff to the president paranoid schizophrenic, who committed a felony. we have the president's son-in-law throwing president's son tunneled bus in the probe. we have threatening the sect of health and human services, he kicks transgender people out of military, he talks about his

political conquest to the boy scouts and says he will get everybody to say merry christmas again, even though it is now july. and he meets with the lebanese prime minister and doesn't seem to know what hezbollah is. >> i don't think anyone has ever accused of saying, don't say merry christmas to a fellow christian. if you will i have in a more diverse location, you try to say happy holidays. you don't tell your kids happy holidays. you say merry christmas or happy hannukkah. up next, congress overwhelmingly passed new sanctions against russia. the white house is suggesting, behind, behind, that president trump will veto those sanctions. is trump trying to signal that he's with him and not with us? your brain is an amazing thing. but as you get older, it naturally begins to change,

when it comes the president trump and vladimir putin, there's new evidence faye he wants to, in the words of tammy windette, stand by his man. the white house signaled today that the president might veto new u.s. sanctions on russia. that sanctions bill passed overwhelmingly in the senate this evening. 98-2 in the senate. it passed the house on tuesday with only three votes against it. 419 to 3. the president will be overridden for the first time and that means big international news. nonetheless, anthony scaramucci said this morning that trump may veto it anyway saying the president will be tougher on russia without the sanctions. yes. let's watch it. >> he is looking at the sanctions right now.

he may decide to veto the sanctions -- >> why? >> and be tougher than the congress. >> you think if he vetoes it, it is because he wants to be tougher? >> he may sign if sanctions the way they are. he may veto and negotiate even a tougher deal sflfl showdown comes as tensions between the republican controlled u.s. congress and the trump white house over reports the president may try to replace his attorney general. a contribute or and politics editor at the root. the political reporter at the new york times. apparently the "times" will go verbatim, including the f word, used by scaramucci in this

diatribe. that's rare. >> this was done in consultation with top editors. >> why do you think the american people need to know verbatim from this director? >> you can check it out on his twitter feed. he says we concluded, it was newsworthy that the trump aide used such language and we didn't want our readers to have to search elsewhere to see the language that he used. it almost seems quaint looking back in the 1990s when we were having a debate about whether they would use the f word when discussing the starr reports. >> isn't that great? he said we've defined it downward. you can use any language. i thought it was tricky to decide how we would say it and we made a mistake and showed it by accident. i mean by accident. we talked about for hours how to do this thing. it is a weird world where the

top spokesman taking office, not quite in office, decides to talk like the on the record knowing we're hearing it. knowing the chief of staff who he is attack, grossing out is hearing it. and the president of the united states is keeping this romper room together. trump is trying to create so much mayhem and confusion, we can't remember why we think he's blowing it. >> this is par for the course. this is kind of language he wants. this shows he's tough. he's different. he doesn't care about norms and standards. all of this is perfectly fine for this administration. it is only going to be a problem when scaramucci becomes more famous than trump and then he'll be fired. >> it will happen when he gets his "snl" character. >> this does create a distraction. it is a distraction from the messages that they're trying on

get through. tomorrow they'll be going and talking about finding ms-13 and all these things. these are messages that they claim they want to get out to the public. >> we know the biggest story of the year will be russia. the question of how much is russia causing the president of the united states to tag along with their interests? to what extent are we being dragged i know what the interests of another country. putin seems to always get his way. now we have the president of the united states saying he will probably veto a bill. he will send a signal to the world. even though the u.s. congress has just passed over his veto sanctions against the russians and putin, that he doesn't believe in them. >> and he's making the argument that he wants to be tougher on russia. if he wants to be tougher -- >> i can say bs.

it is called loving something enough. oh, i would do much more. >> everything else will be russian, russian, russian. i don't care if 419 members against 3 in a republican house, and 98-2 in a republican dominated senate all believe he russia is our adversary and i don't. >> i think what i'm looking for, what we should be eyeing, is this the point where the republican congress starts on break from president trump? are the cracks widening? so far you've seen a congress highly deferential to the president. every time he does something outrageous, they skeexcuse it a. >> what's going on with lindsey graham who begins to look more

and more like a character out of advise and consent. steve cooley who did care about the institution. there's a law and there's a constitution and we'll enforce it. >> lindsey graham is beginning to sound what we think managing mcca , john mccain actually is. >> the roundtable will be back with us in a minute. thanks for loading, sweetie. ...oh, burnt-on gravy?

...gotta rinse that. nope. no way. nada. really? dish issues? throw it all in. new cascade platinum powers through... even burnt-on gravy. nice. cascade. heri think i might burst..... totally immersed weekenders. whatever kind of weekender you are, there's a hilton for you. book your weekend break direct with hilton.com and join the summer weekenders.
