. sean spicer is out, sarah hackabee sanders take his place an loyal trump supporter join, the team >> there's a lot to talk about, as you see the run-out this is the hottest at 6:30, let's get to it >> i'm grateful for sean's work on behalf of my administration and the american people. i wish him continued success as he moves on to pursue new opportunities just look at his great televisin ratings. >> the president has a great gift in he's able to control the news cycle and the messaging. and so i think if we get super coordinated around here with the president, and we go back to what he did, som

successes that he had in the campaign and the transition, and even in the presidency frankly, he's delivering that message directly to the american people. >> that's the guy right there. anthony scaramucci the new white house communications director, a wall street finance zero and entrepreneur, he has known president trump for years and been a big supporter of his >> he founded the global investment firm sky bridge capital. he's appeared as a contribute tore on both fox news and berks this is the big story on friday. this has been the news all day long. joining us to talk about the shake-up is the washington examiner and hadas gold and fox 5 contribute >> i think people were expecting some sort of shake-up to happen. sean spicer's position difficult -- was a difficult position as press secretary for a

who likes to set his communications agenda and if you're going to bring in a communications director which sean spicer has to report to when he's acting as communications director it misses things up >> my thought is what is melissa mccarthy thinking right now? she's lost her views for saturday night live but don't shed tears, this is definitely a difficult job. he'll be just fine, his next job will be a big pay-check, he's able to get out of the white house where there's a demanding and a little bit absurd executive and finally getting out before the history books are written, so he'll land well for himself >> the communications team has had it rough go of it, especially people like sean spicer, who are in the know, they're in political circles, now we are anthony scaramucci who is not, what's this going to be like moving forward? what can we expect? is anthony scaramucci going to do whatever president trump says and not rock the

>> scaramucci is definitely outside of the realm of politics, like reporters who have known him very well, scaramucci is well-known amongst the wall street journalists. he used to host receptions for them at his suite at city field. he knows them. he doesn't know washington as well. he has said himself he said today he's new to politics. we don't know what he's going to bring in. i definitely expect just like with any workplace you get a new boss he'll change things up. what that looks like, he said just today, he's going to be much more connected with the communication strategy anything from changing briefings entirely, changing the messages entirely. we just don't flow. and today was his first day. >> i think when we look at the personalities we're going from sean spicer, who was a reince priebus promote jay. we heard scaramucci say i love the president at least three, four times, which there's nothing wrong with that. but -- but does this signal a change in the messaging of the white house moving forward >> i think perhaps it does. i don't know what to

far as the white house's messaging goes, i don't even know if scaramucci knows what page they're going forward. keep in mind there's a lot of rival res inside of the oval office right now. you have reince priebus who's no fan to have communications director, so there will be internal conflict >> the only people that scaramucci said would stay on the communications staff were hope hicks and dan skavino. there's a lot of other people who he could shift out, especially the rnc people that they brought in with them >> we're not going to see scaramucci doing briefings. i was taken by, he was very smooth, you know, and that's what everybody was saying, a good salesman. but on top of that too, he was very conversational, good given and take with the press. i think it really was evident was sarah murray from

will you be accountable for what you say and then he called them out and scaramucci accepted the apology. when you talk about how you handle the media >> he's very smooth, a good operator: sarah hackabee will stray on as the press secretary, the job is to set strategy, deal with messaging and try to write a leaky ship. i don't know if those assets will be able to shine through >> in terms of externally trying to get their agenda pushed forward, how is this going to impact things since we talked about spicer and i know reince priebus is still on, they didn't have connections on capitol, scaramucci not so much, >> from what we understand be part of the reason the president wants to bring him on he saw him on tv and saw what a good advocate he was for him. we know that scaramucci will have a big hand in o

perhaps unifying the message a little bit, you would talk to surrogates who really wanted to support the white house but didn't have a clear message which way they were supposed to go on certain things and part comes from the top, as president trump likes to say himself, he is always changing things, this will hopefully try to unify things, in terms of though, capitol hill, you're right. scaramucci doesn't have a ton of connections to capitol hill. we don't know how that will affect the instrument of crime. were when you that these big things they want thee get done, you went to come off as unified. donald trump continues at a call republicans they not us >> this is big narrative shifting moment, we're not talking about policy, we're not talking about the president's agenda, we're talking about personnel, not moving the ball forward instead it's a bit >> hadas, phillip, thank you for coming in. >> all right. >> what a friday. >> for sure.

let's talk about the russia probe now. like we didn't have enough to talk about with everything else going on. there's any possible collusion between president trump and his administration is expands, the president is questioning robert mueller and the scope of his investigation. >> the president is also looking at all options available to him. including possible pardons for his family, staff and himself. to break all of this down, michigan state university law professor, brian kelt. we started hearing reports about this yesterday. i'll ask you the same can we go i asked phillip and hadas. are you surprised by what we're hearing coming out of the white house right now >> i'm surprised we're hearing about it but not that the president and his legal team are think about these things developing strategy, exploring options. that seems to me to be a pretty normal thing. i don't know how it leaked but i'm not surprised that it did >> let's talk a littl

about, you know, i think the thing that really surprises a lot of people is someone talking about the president is even asking about pardoning himself if he could do that, your constitutional expert here, you understand how it works, it doesn't as though it's a clearwater yes or no >> i've been writing about this for the last 20 years, i've come to a conclusion what i think the answer is, if i were a judge, i would say no, the president can't self pardon wouldn't be valid but there are good arguments both sides, and until there's an actual case, there's really no way to know what a court would say >> hypothetically. if there were pardons handed out along the way, whether it be to, you know, children or other people in the administration, how does that work moving forward >> well, the pardon power belongs to the president. there's an office of the pardon attorney on the and the department

he can sit down, write it out sign and it it's good to go. t the we've been debating since then, >> talk about the fact how pardons generally work. it doesn't mean someone has committed a crime. explain who can be pardoned and what that would mean moving forward and impacting an investigation. >> so. the president can pardon federal crimes, not state. and he can't touch an impeachment. he can't derail that. but anything that anyone has already done is subject

pardon power, so if someone hasn't been charged, hasn't been prosecuted. the president pardons that person, that reany possible prosecution of that person and can do a pre-emptive pardon, if there is an investigation, they can continue they didn't wouldn't be able to prosecute, that person wouldn't be able to plead the fifth as far as federal charge, it would make it easier for the investigation in that sense. but whoever is pardoned would be protected. as for pardoning himself, it's not clear they can prosecute a president while he's in office anyway. so, it's the president is going to do it. preempty totively bring the charges then if after he's out of office try to prosecute him anyway, challenge the validity of the pardon it would go to court and we would see the

arguments both sides, i've written about this, we know what the president would argue. we know what the prosecutor would argue, and we just -- >> did you mention at the top of the interview professor has a book called constitutional cliff hangers, law professor from michigan state university, i guess i can say sparty on. appreciate it. >> thank you. attorney general jeff sessions was in philadelphia today to press his fight against sanctuary cities. however, the fight didn't sit well with some philadelphians. two dozen demonstrated to voice the disapproval with the attorney general because they're outraged by sessions comments where he recently singled out philadelphia saying the city is quote advertising its sanctuary policy and quote protecting criminals. some refuse to cooperate with the federal government w

comes to immigration authorities to turn over illegal aliens who commit crimes, even ms 13 members. these policies are often called sanctuary policies. but they are -- but they're giving it would cut funding from cities that limit with federal immigration authorities. details about john mccain's bottle with aggressive brain cancer continues to garner support from all over. lawmakers both sides have been cheering him on. >> his family front and center and his daughter megan wrote a tribute about her father adding cancer may ainflict him in many ways but it will not make him surrender, never ever has >> the treatment options may include a combination of chemotherapy and radiation. that's just what he's looking

>> and while there is going on in the senate, the battle over healthcare continues republicans are still trying to get some sort of healthcare on the floor. that means finding the votes is a challenge we saw what happened the last couple times. to senators looking for grounds on the tough issues. >> the way we come together, wait we bring together senators all across the spectrum is focus on lowering premiums. that the biggest reasons people are unhappy with obamacare is that it's made premiums sky rocket, i hear this in texas all the time where texas says i can't afford health premiums, how do you do that? lower premiums through more competition, choices, options, and more freedom. >> president trump has said congress should not leave town for the recess until a healthcare bill is on his desk. >> let's talk about the big story of the weekend at least here in dc. of course, the weather. the ho

seeing it all, gary mcgrady standing by with the look at the forecast, gary? >> it's going to stick around all weekend, it gets a little bit better, let me show you, we do have the heat advisory until 8:00 tonight and most counties along i95 and we still have pretty good heat index values up and down i95. cooled quite a bit to the west. few showers and thunderstorms out there. feels like 100 here in town. couple of thunderstorms. coming across the higher elevations having a hard time struggling, here's the weekend forecast, still going to be hot and steamy. looks like 96 for a high tomorrow, heat index will be right around 100 to 103. for a lot of locations. strong thunderstorms possible tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon, evening, another round of strong thunderstorms scattered about possibly on sunday. both days here, saturday and sunday, we

some thunderstorms could become severe. so obviously, keep an eye to the sky, especially in the afternoon, both days saturday and sunday. once we get to monday, a slight chance of a thunderstorm, high of only 92 and next week, cool back down into the middle 80's. so we're on course here, nothing really changed talking cooler weather next week, guys >> can't wait. >> comingup. do democrats need a massive changes in the white house is an opportunity to get more votes in future election >> more on that when we come back.

back. seen some other chips fall this week. so one of the democrats think this is an pportunity now? >> well, the opportunity comes in a couple of different ways, the chaos in the white house certainly helps democrats. republicans were hoping to get some bounce out of made in america week. but who in america knows that it was made in america week? much more significant though is republican disarray over the healthcare bill. one thing trump has succeeded in doing is finally pushing approval of the healthcare bill over 50% among americans, when i went to work at h h s this was what we saw as the biggest challenge, it wound up the catalyst to that would be an republican president who would have anticipated it. that's great for democrats. >> i'm sure democrats besides li

what's going on, need to do more than probably just attack obviously. i mean, it's an easy target for them. what do you think the democrats need to focus on in order to kind of take things moving forward and kind of push their agenda >> i think on policy, i think democrats acknowledge there are flaws in the affordable care act. there are improvements and i think democrats need to be clear with their constituents that they're not just interested in beating the republicans in legislative fight. they want to fix the affordable care act. they want premiums to decrease or at least not to rise as quickly as they've been rising, that's part one. part two is showcasing the talent, like corey booker, harris you just showed. a lot of great young leaders >> let's talk about the special elections we've had.

honest some of these cases, you saw democrats make gains, but there's no still 0 for 5. so how do you move forward >> a little historical perspective. after obamacare was elected. democrats got pretty well wiped out in congress. seven straight elections, democrats won everyone, these elections took place in the districts of people who trump chose for his administration, because they were very conservative, and would be easy to replace. i don't think there's much significance that the democrats losses in these specials >> moving forward, for the democrats, this is really to mess up. i mean, they should be able to pdo pretty well i would think moving forward as long as a strategy like yourself having right strategy, drew litman, thank you for talking with
