i have empathy for journalists. sometimes they get stories wrong but i sort of don't like the fake news. if you said is there media bias out there, it feels like there is media bias. we want to deescalate that, turn it around, and let the message from the president get out there to the american people. >> the president, welcome, the president sees himself as his own best spokesperson and that was a challenge that sean had at the podium. how do you plan on navigating that? >> i thought sean did a very, very good job. he is very articulate. he had 30 years in communications. i imagine there are people here that will be super excited when he lands in a job that he really likes, and he will be a very effective communicator for where ever he goes. as it relates to standing at the podium, i think everyone has their own personality. i think the best messenger, the most savvy media person in the white house is the president of the united states, and i'm, franlfran fran frankly hoping to learn from him. >> the first time i me

have you discussed that?. >> no. but i will now. [laughter] >> we will have the book deal by the end of the night. >> that is a great idea. >> i do to. >> we touched on this but during the campaign did you have time to read or just reading the news constantly constantly?. >> i did not have a lot of time that is a big loss for me because i usually read every night before falling asleep but i would be so tired i did not really other they and the briefing papers i had the old fashioned idea that the policies that you propose would be important to govern your country. [laughter] so we spent a lot of time and many nights going over what we would do to increase wages and jobs and all those issues we were concerned about but i didn't have much time for pleasure reading. >> have you read the john lewis march trilogy?. >> i have not. but i know of that very well . john is a long time dear friend of mine. >> so if not certain the you know, his work and his message so how do we continue to apply that vision and a message? how do we continue tha

i have no problem working for reince. i can only speak about my management style, okay. i have been on wall street for 29 years. nobody has ever worked for me. people work with me. i believe in a lot of collaboration. i think if you do that it is very, very empowering for people. i have no problem working for reince. president said i report to him directly but, listen, you guys will be very, very surprised about the relationship that i have with reince and the closeness that we're going to have in terms of working to the serve the president. so he is the chief of staff. so, it would be foolish of me not to communicate with him, not to relate to him every single thing i'm doing. >> can you stand by claims by administration, three million illegal votes cast? do you endorse all of those statements? >> so, a little bit of unfair question because i'm not up to speed on all of that. candidly he tell you that. >> 3 million people voted illegally. >> so -- do you stand by that or not. >> if the president says it, let me do more re

i said. it is a little cramped in there. you have a lot of reporters from international news agencies, and it is a difficult place because you are trying to get a job done but thing inside of a fishbowl. that is what i mean by it is a difficult place. i do not mean it is a difficult place in terms of people. i think what you would find is there is a lot less palace intrigue that is getting .eported about that does create tension and anxiety, and i will work along my peers to reduce that tension and anxiety, because we generally all like each other. handleare you going to what a crises or a big thing comes up and you have a very specific aided -- the hidden message out at night, and the president in the morning tweets something very different? are you willing to say you have made a mistake go -- mistake? >> i took trial advocacy at harvard law school, so i will not answer that because that is a hypothetical, and the first thing i learned in trial advocacy is do not answer a hypothetical. but i love the president. the president is a ve

i have respect for former director comey. but in candor, this is an issue i don't think he got quite right. what we need in my view is a public/private partnership in which congress, law enforcement and industry work together to find the path forward. mr. wray, will you commit to work with congress and with industry in a collaborative manner on the issue so we can find a solution that is workable for all sides? >> senator, i know that this is an issue that's been very important to you for a long time. we discussed it in our meeting. as we discussed then, i think this is one of the most difficult issues facing the country. there's a balance, obviously, that has to be struck between the importance of encryption, which i think we can all respect, when there's so many threats to our systems and the importance of giving law enforcement tools they immediate to keep us safe. i don't know as an outsider and nominee before this committee what the solution is. i do know we have to find a solution and my experience in trying to find solu

i have not met ty cobb. i do not know him. >> at the follow-up was, communication problems versus political policy and the way you see that in the context of this. >> not long ago, teddy roosevelt said that a presidency is an open forum. the president has a great gift and is able to control the new cycle and control the message. i think if we get super coordinated around here with the president and we go back to what he did with some of the great successes he had on the campaign and the transition and even the presidency, frankly, is delivering that message directly to the american people. to me, i think policies are fantastic. i think he's done a phenomenal job. i think sarah read something a total belief is that he's doing a phenomenal job, and we just need to get it out there a little bit more aggressively and we will try to do that. should i take another one? i will take one more. >> thank you very much. you talk to several times about your relationship with reince priebus. can you talk about your relatio

i have to stand on my family and my roots and be strong if i have to go up. n't have to watch your film to help you learn. >> i read a piece not too long ago and i was just struck by your candor. your honesty in assessing how seriously you take your work but not yourself. i was struck by your candor in how you assessed the power of film but the film isn't -- you're not scientists inventing stuff. you're not doctors saving lives. you seem to be pretty well even keeled about your work. >> i'm an aspirin. that's all i can do. i can't save cancer beuti can for two hours i make you feel better. i'm a little aspirin. that's all i am. but i think a film is the art of lying. because everything is fake. but you have to tell the truthd so much to lie so well. you know? >> i feel you. yeah. very nicely put. you mentioned family tell me about your mom and dad. >> one moment where i had both of them in the same time because they divorced after and that was in greece and i was 7/8 years old. i have no shoes for at least nine months. the rocks, the sun, the sea. no friend, n

i have a whole list of things. i did not want to come out with a whole list of our accomplishments, and for marshall right now -- advertisement informercial right now. i really just wanted to talk about personnel movement and how we're thinking about things. i think we're doing an amazing job. the president, himself, is always going to be the president. i was in the oval office with him earlier today. we were talking about letting him be himself, letting him express his full identity. i think he has some of the best political instincts in the world and perhaps in history when you think about it. he started his political ascent two years and two months ago and he has done a phenomenal job for the american people. people i grew up with, they so identify with the president, and they love him. and so we are going to get that message out. >> my second question -- mr. scaramucci: we will get to everybody, don't worry. >> a little bit about how you plan to handle any potential conflict of interest and how was the offer mad

have? alexa: over 200. lemonis: ian't think of any company that has a core product and decides to have 200 different types of them. i think when you're over a certain amount of flavors, it becomes unmanageable. i mean, even baskin-robbins thinks 31 flavors is enough. alexa: have you had our marshmallows before? i hope you like them. lemonis: they taste good. i like the texture, but they had a funny smell to them. sam: oh... we've gotten e-mails... sam: we've gotten a couple e-mails about it. lemonis: these marshmallows are good. they have a nice texture to them and they're fluffy and they have a sweet start to them, but as i eat more, it has sort of a funny taste to it... like mustard? it smells like spices in here. how come it doesn't smell sweet? alexa: max. -lemonis: who's max? -alexa: my father. -lemonis: your father. -alexa: m&d marketing. yes. lemonis: how many different businesses are functioning in this building? sam: the marshmallows, and then there's m&d marketing, which is max's spice company. -lemonis: who

i couldn't have any kind of a relatiship with wome i coul't really have any relationships with anybodya mess. i drank and took drugs. i put myself in situations where i thought i might harm myself because i just didn't care. i thought about suicide all the time, so i'm really, really lucky to be here. my confidence is still crap, you know? i can't interview well. anytime i have interactions with people, i keep my hand in my pocket. this happened 8 years ago and i'm still embarrassed and, you know, because it's -- my life is totally different. >> were you panicked when people walk up to you and try to talk to you? >> not anymore. no, i kind of -- i got over that. but i couldn't leave the house. >> couldn't leave the house? >> i couldn't leave the house, no. i couldn't, you know, i mean, it sucks to say this, but it's the truth. a couple black guys did it and if i was walking down the street, a couple black dudes were walking towards me, that was it. i was going the other direction. >> i understand. >> i'm over that now, but it's in your head, you know, and you can't get it out of your h

>> i am a bit, and i have changed. timistic. >> yeah. >> i was working 16, you know, hours a day. >> you were the first member that i dealt with that was loved texting folks. you seemed to love this job. it was startling to see you -- if you would have said you were quitting to start running for the u.s. senate, that would have made sense, but that was what made it surprising. >> i love the work, but i love my family more, and it's hard for a lot of people to understand that, but there's also a lot of frustration in this job and in this work and this role, and i just -- i never -- i always admire those athletes who got out at the top of their game, and i kind of thought about that. i look at the reality of what we're going to be able to get done and get passed. how much i'm missing my family. >> you're walking away. it's a midlife crisis? >> i didn't buy a red corvette or anything. >> did you feel pressure not to bring your family here because of how often you go back to the district, or was it the age of your kids? >>

i have no regrets. i cannot think the president enough for this unbelievable honor and i am going -- i will always be grateful for that! >> sean: i hope you still come on with us but we want your take on the events of the day. think of her being with us. coming up, we will have an exclusive interview with the white house chief of staff reince priebus. and patrick jay buchanan weighs in on all of the breaking news, anthony scaramucci now the white house communications director. at that and more tonight on "hannity." >> the president has really good karma. into the world terms that to hi him. generally a wonderful human being. and the members of congress get to know him better, get comfortable with him, they are going to let him lead them the right things for the american people. i think we will get the health care done. and the tax reform done. and whatever else is on the president's agenda. we are going to work very, very closely to get it all done and make it happen. ♪ ♪ no, please, please, oh! ♪ (shrie

i think we have one more here. absolutely obsessed with leakers and getting to the bottom of who is getting unauthorized information to journalists at the white house. he said he told me what i want to do is i want to kill all the leakers and i want to get the president's agenda on track so we can succeed for the american people. >> one thing i have to say despite anger and attacks on steve bannon and reince priebus, this is a guy i have had many conversations with him and never said a bad word about the president. i do think at his core me believes what he is doing is cleaning up the white house and going to bat for president trump. he is doing it in a rather ham handed way, in a way that is distracting whether than helping the president's agenda. i think the second quote that we read is both sides of this. on the one side it is unhinged. on the other side it's to this goal that he believes is important which is to get the president's agenda on track. >> anthony scaramucci just responded on twitter tweeting i somet

think i may have said this to one of your colleagues, i actually have not read the emails. i haven't even had a chance to read any of the newspaper coverage about the emails because it has all happened when i have been going up and down meeting with all of your colleagues. i'm not as up to speed on it, i cannot responsibly answer that question. >> let me switch to a different topic, you have mentioned the scourge of gun violence in this country. would you support common sense measures to stop gun violence as you know i have championed a number of them along with others on this committee and in the senate, including universal background checks, would you support that kind of effort? >> i would want to look at any specific legislative proposal and get back to you once i had evaluated a specific piece of legislation. i do support efforts to deal with gun violence aggressively and effectively. i think my record both as a prosecutor and leadership of the department is consistent with that. >> in principle, you would support such measures, you would want to see the details but for

i understand that he thinks it is possible he might have. i can only tell this committee that i have no recollection of that whatsoever and it's the kind of thing that i think i would remember. >> i would think so. >> might not be surprising because my portfolio was focused on the criminal division on the fbi, on the u.s. attorney's offices. it was not -- the office of legal counsel was not part of my portfolio. it's not to say that i never had any interaction with the office of legal action but it was not sort of squarely within my wheel house, which was already pretty full, to be honest. so, later, as i said, as assistant attorney general we did provide input on the general meaning of the statute, but not as to any particular technique. the reason for that is i wanted to preserve for the criminal division the proper role of prosecutors which is not to provide legal advice or forward looking, but rather to be able to investigate and prosecute cases involving cases against people who go beyond the bounds of the law. >> could you speak to your

i have said as a u.s. senator and will continue to say that this alliance is something like the world has never seen. our allies have been on our side throughout history. our allies have especially been with us in afghanistan, which has been a tough road. over 900istan, where troops of our allies and partners have given their lives along u.s. soldiers for more than 15 years. our nato allies are our core partners in diplomacy and the battlefield. our partners are a first resort in dealing with old and new threats to the security of our people. the strength of this alliance benefits every member. if confirmed, i hope to represent the integrity of the american commitment to be a formidable enemy and a reliable ally. america should be both. in closing, i want you to know how much i appreciate the hard work you do. i have been there, and i know that everyone of you love america like i do. and you are here to make sure that our country is the strongest and safest for all of your constituents. and i want to make s

i do not have time to waste time. get very impatient when i'm with some people who have long since retired and all they talk about is their golf game or their knee operation. that is not for me. i like learning. i like finding out about something that i do not know anything about. i was raised on curiosity. curiosity is what separates us from the cabbages. it does. i also love to make something. i love to make a page or five pages or a chapter or a book. i love to make a painting. i love to make all kinds of things if i have the right materials to work with or have somebody who really knows how to do it. i like to finish the day knowing i have done something that if i was not around it would not have happened. i was pleased i spent much of my day doing it. brian: i wanted to ask you about this for several months. before i do i want to run some video of you in the year 2016 and i want you to tell me why you did this. >> president dwight d. eisenhower who so admirably served his country, said there were four key qualitie
