anthony scaramucci is out. the president called it a great day, is there another white house we don't know about. healthcare reform is a bust and honoring a real life hero at the white house. let me put this down first of let's go. monday, man what a busy day. there's a new report out from the "washington post" that makes things look worse for the trump administration at least when it comes to donald trump junior meeting with a russian lawyer from during the campaign, the reports that the president dictated his misleading statement about the meeting, this allegedly happened

the president was flying home from the g 20 summit. he personally dictated in which his said son said he and the russian lawyer discussed a program about dominating russian children, he accepted the meeting after being promised damaging information on hillary clinton. part of a government effort to help his father's campaign. the president's advisors are worried he's increasing acting as his own strategist, publicist and lawyer and the white house disputes the report. >> it is the end of the road for anthony scaramucci. he got the ax from his job as white house communication can say director and you know, i'm old enough to remember back when scaramucci was hired by the white house. seems like yet. . the average price of a gallon of gas was 2.32. the song at the top of the billboard charts was despacito and wonder woman was

box office. it's only been 11 days. we're only just getting to know anthony scaramucci but he certainly made an impression during his brief time on the job. >> i love the president. i obviously love the country, look at my life experience here in my country and so it's an honor -- i like the team. let me photo arrays, i love the team and i would love to have sean her, he decide thought it would be better if he goes, i respect these guys and i love the president. the most competitive person i ever met. i've seen this guy through a dead spiral through a tire. i seen him at madison square garden hitting foul shots, he sinks >> strong is our weakest leak. if you guys want to keep leaking get together and make a decision as a team you're going to stop leaking. if you'll keep leaking i'm going to fire everybody. >>

which i can say came from the fame interview with the new yorker. you will remember when scaramucci was brought in, sean spicer said he was leaving. get rid of scaramucci, despite all the turn over, president said everything is going great, before news of his firing he tweeted, let be honest, highest stock market ever, unemployment lowest 17 year, wages rising, no white house chaos, then the president wrote a great day at the white house. ok. during today's white house briefing sarah hackabee-sanders also tried to down play the scaramucci as well as some of the other staff shake-ups >> what matters most to us is not who's employed in the white house but the rest of the crown we're focused on the president's

said it before if we want to see chaos come to my house with three preschoolers. >> as you can imagine the internet didn't waste any time. these are some of the tweets. there's great creativity out there. the transcribe has spoken, the new york post put out the white house white house coverage. we saw that one going out. by the way i loved the had aing the mooch was trend. so much drama on the tell-off special as i reunite trump and scaramucci for the first time since the break-up. we saw from katie hudson, how to lose a guy in ten days, and dan pfeiffer former communications official. unfortunately the minimum tenure to get invited to the director's reunion is three weeks. to add insult to

harvard law school directory has been listing him as dead. the post discovered him listed with an asterisk next to his name, which is a designation meaning he had been reported dead. a spokesperson at harvard called it regrettable and will be >> the president had a photo op with john kelly. the retired general is expected to bring is discipline to the west wing and during the cabinet meeting. the president took time to tout his work as secretary of homeland security >> what he has done has been nothing short of miraculous. as you know, the border was a tremendous problem and now close to 80% stoppage and even the president of mexico called me and he said their southern border very few people are coming because they know they're not going to get through our border which is the ultimate complement. i want to

the great job he's done on homeland security and i have no doubt he'll be is that your >> the president isn't keeping expectations low. he went beyond sub per be. >> general kelly will go down in terms of the position of chief of staff one of the great ever >> day one pretty high marks his move to chief of staff leaves his job at homeland security secretary open. kelly former deputy elaine duke will serve as interim head. there's speculation that the president could take jeff sessions, could turn him into the new secretary of homeland p. which could have ramifications for the russian investigation. we'll take it one step at a time. the new chief of staff in the white house have a lot to work on. on friday, north korea tested its longest

ballistic missile. the latest test as pyongyang's missile test could be more advanced than previously thought. a show of force, the president tweet to do his disappoint in china quoting it could easily solve the problem but today he channelled olivia pope from scandal saying it's handled. >> we'll handle north korea, we'll be able to, it will be, it will be handled. we handle everything. thank you very much. >> for the president's tweets saying he was disappointed in china for not acting on north korea, china's u.n. responded today claiming its primarily up to the u.s. and north korea to reduce tensions and work towards end, the nuclear program. tensions are escalating with russia as moscow expels hundreds of diplomats. mike pence called mosco

unpredictable >> at this moment, are you sure continues to redrawing international borders by force, newer mining democracies. the united states of america rejct s any force or intimidation or against any of our treaty alleys. to be clear, we hope for better days. better relations with russia. of the recent diplomatic action taken by moscow will not deter the commitment of the united states of america to our security, the security of our alleys and the security of freedom loving nations around the wonderful. the vice president also said that president trump will soon sign the russian by -- he has ten days, it was transmitted to the president friday and also in the foreign policy front, the u.s. imposing sanctions on venezuelan leader. he

declared. some turned deadly the new assembly will have the power to rewrite the constitution and di ban the national assembly. white house said his actions, condemning them tonight. >> maduro is not just a bad leader, he's now a dictator. the united states stands with the people of venezuela in the face of this oppression. we will work with our partners to hold accountable all those responsible for the escalating violence and ongoing human rights violations. >> the u.s. is freezing assets that are subject to u.s. jurisdiction and american businesses and individuals are prohibited from dealing with them. no dealing with venezuela, guys. of. the white house isn't giving up on healthcare reform on twitter, the president urging gop lawmakers to keep trying to push through that repeal and replace of the affordable care act, after the skinny r

ready to move on to the next agenda item checks is tax reform, republicans are optimistic tax reform will be easy to push through, plan aimed at growing jobs and paycheck, they want to make the tax code similar for american >> you can't get to three percent growth without tax reform, that's why this is so important >> they will fail on tax reform, on infrastructure, instead, on those issues, work with us. >> by the way, there was talk that lawmakers on both sides might come together and come up with some or the of patch work fixes for the healthcare act as opposed to passing an entirely new bill, the president is expected to demand a major overhaul tomorrow. he's holding a small business. and be done in november. we make fun of politics, but there was a very special ceremony at the white house today. the president awarded the metal of honor to a vietnam vet. the recipient, former combat medic

of he was running towards enemy fire, happened over three days during a battle. although mccloughan was injured, he refused treatment stayed with the unit and credited to saving the lives of ten members of his company. >> though he was thousands of miles from home, it was as if the strength and pride of our whole nation was beating inside of jim's heart. jim did what his father had taught him. he gave it his all. and then he just kept giving. >> among those there, ten men who fought alongside him including five he's credited with saving next in the final five, we barely got to know anthony scaramucci but he certainly made an impression on us. we'll talk with eddie scary coming up when the final 5 comes back after this. back after this.

. latest white house staff shake-up. president tweeted there is no white house chaos but gone through third white house chief of staff. anthony scaramucci didn't make it two weeks and the latest high profile to be fair to make an exit. washington examiner eddie scary. >> hello >> everything went down on friday and you had your weekend. now it's ever changing. what was your reaction seeing everything that changed >> it's typical of this white house when you have trump as president, who's used to kind of popping off in his way. he doesn't care whether it's friday or monday. he's going to set the agenda. he does it every morning and this has been consistent throughout the campaign. >> let's go to thursday last week, the new yorker piece comes out and if you cover politics, if you live for that sort of th

seeing anything have anthony scaramucci and reince priebus and everything else in the white house, how do you think the media handled the frenzy >> they liked it. it's fresh, candid, it's new. reporters like new things, you know that. >> new and shiny >> exactly. >> waving keys in front o our face >> i think reporters were looking forward to anthony scaramucci being involved. whether that's good for the white house, looks like they decided not. his lasting impact in the very short time he was even there will be the ousting of priebus, sean spicer, foreign press secretary and possibly turning on the cameras in the briefing rooms, which, by the way, i know the tv reporters care about this, but most people don't >> i think you're right. i think it's an absolutely salient point be there are people that look at that. we've made, hey looking we have an on camera briefing but it goes back to care wag people at home care about and i think sarah hackabee-sanders said today,

about creating jobs, not the jobs inside the white house, it's about the media bubble we find ourselveses in sometimes >> i think, i'll say >> let me just say, i'm on the record as saying turn the cameras on, but that's it. i get it. >> as a tv reporter, i think, i'm not going to win friend at fox 5 by saying a lot of people enjoy watching it particularly tv journalists but by and large there's no news that comes out of reporters in a room asking questions on camera. they ask questions official all the time. i've written about this many times, the top stories that break are have nothing to do with cameras. it's in the "new york times" the "washington post," other places you don't need a camera to break news. but when anthony scaramucci was briefly there, he said camera are back on, we saw them today back on. i don't know if that will last but i know some reporter will be happy about it >> i think wait a lot of people look what's going on, there are two par bells you can compare it to. of is it a house of

and you think, we're in veep territory right now, you take one look at twitter and you know >> you wrote about this this weekend and some other things >> i think just, i call every weekend at the washington examiner. i will say that the scaramucci and the interview he did with the new yorker where he's trashing, that was small game for this white house. trump won on big ideas. he was not good for this white house. so he's gone now. i don't think maybe he read my column. i don't know. >> do you think maybe that was the impetus to it >> i hope so >> do you think it should be somebody savvy with the media? we heard laura ingram or do they go with the outsider like scaramucci was >> the idea of that job is people who know how to deal with reporters, his whole thing was he give this interview and comes, goes on twitter and says i shouldn't have talked

reporter, i think when you talk to someone who records things for a living you should probably expect that. probably not someone like laura ingram. these people are good at getting attention, they don't understand how to run a message or white house press shop. i don't know where they will go but it will be interesting. >> i think there's five words you can always use, and never worry about a reporter. off the record right? we're back with more on the final 5. n the final 5.
