mr. spicer: right now, we are in the revolution exhibit at the computer history museum in mountain view, california. behind me are over 1000 artifacts that tell about the history of computing, going back to thousand years. the exhibit is laid out into 19 galleries, each one focuses on a certain theme or object from the history of computing. for example one of those themes , is real-time control. here we look at things like pacemakers for hearts. these are computer systems that must function. they're not like your laptop, which can crash once in a while and the worst is that you lose your work. if a pacemaker crashes, you die. the oldest item is a set of what are called napier's bones, small ivory counting sticks from the 17th century. the most recent thing we have is an iphone, the first model. we are in the punchcard gallery. behind me, you see a replica of an 1890 census machine. what is this? in the bureau of the census had 1890, just finished the census, which requires a census to be taken every 10 years. the 1890 census was not going to be completed in time. so someone came up with

mr. spicer wants your ice box,' the aide s they refused to give it up. [ laughter ] so mr. aited until sundown after his young staffers had left to take matters into his own hands. [ light laughter ] he was spotted by a fellow white house official lugging the ice box down the white house driveway after 8:00 p.m." [ laughter ] man, working for trump is like doing crack cocaine. at first, it must be an amazing high. but eventually, your life falls apart and you start stealing appliances. [ laughter ] so who would fill the void left by spicer's absence, not to mention his presence? enter -- the mooch! >> we won the presidency because of donald j. trump. he is a unbelievable politician. >> seth: that's right, trump's new communication director is wall street financier anthony scaramucci. now we're talking! i mean, look at this guy. he is a human pinkie ring. [ laughter ] he is the human embodiment of a double-parked bmw. [ light laughter ] he looks like the guy who leaves a doo-wop group over creative differences. [ laughter ] he looks like the only magician you could get on sho

president. [ laughter ] >> seth: there's a good chance when spicer went into the oval office to resign, trump didn't have any idea who he was. [ laughter ] "mrent, i'm resigning." "oh, that's too bad, you were my favorite -- groundskeeper?" [ laughter ] now spicer, obviously, got off to a rough start, from his oversized suits to his lies about undersized inauguration crowds, and never really recovered. but according to a new report on spicer's departure, his problems also included food storage. as the "wall street journal" explained, "less than a month into his new job, white house press secretary sean spicer needed to keep his food and drink cold. he wanted a mini-fridge. he dispatched a top aide to a nearby executive office building where junior research employees are crammed into a room. 'mr. spicer wants your ice box,' the aide said. [ light laughter ] they refused to give it up. [ laughter ] so mr. spicer waited until sundown after his young staffers had left to take matters into his own hands. [ light laughter ] he was spotted by a fellow white house official lugging the ice box down the white house driveway after 8:00 p.m." [ laughter

mr. spicer, sean. >> it was just 10 days ago he stepped down.ially still on the payroll. but in retrospect people are realizing he had a challenging position and he handled it well. but he might have had enough in that six-month period. but he might be able to help figure out the transition. david: let's talk about general kelly. will he have the discipline to organize thing so that the president has more impact on what happens in congress? >> i think general kelly is a brilliant choice. he's a field general and they don't like loose ca loose canno. counting votes is an important thing and that wasn't even done right. that's the kind of stuff general kelly will do correctly. david: specifically on healthcare some people say it's not dead yet. but they may give it another shot. is he the guy to do it? >> nobody is the man to do it. government can't get healthcare done properly. it's not going to happen. you have to get the cost down and pull the understand subsidy away from congress. how much do they get? david: 74%. rush limbaugh brought it up o

mr. spicer for comment and he told us, quote, ed is a longtime supporter of the president's agenda who oftenthe media. he asked for a ten-minute meeting with no specified topic to catch up and said he would be bringing along a contributor to fox news. as ed himself has noted, he has never met the president and the white house has nothing to do with the story. we're going to dig into this. it is extraordinary. joining us now, the man who filed the lawsuit, rod wheeler, and his attorney. rod, let's start with you. you claimed that the fox reporter, malia zimmerman, made up two quotes in this article atri attributing them to you. what do you say ifalse? >> well, the quotes that she added to her story specifically references me as saying that i knew for a fact that the decedent in this case, seth rich, sent e-mails to wikileaks. and that just was totally fabricated. i never said that. let me also go back real quickly, stephanie, and say this. my heart and prayers go out to the rich family. i hate, stephanie, that they have to endure all of this stuff that's in the media. i even reached out to th

mr. spicer. >> there's room for speculation.s is not the first time we have heard about a white house official taking a meeting they say they didn't know anything about but went to anyway, but this is not the court of public opinion. in a court of law you only know what you show. you have to demonstrate what sean spicer if you're going to include the white house in a concocted scheme, you have to show they knew about it and wanted to advance it and there's merit to the suggestion that the president of the united states had seen the article and wanted it advanced. do you have any proof to do any of that? >> we just filed the lawsuit as you know on the 1st, and defendants are entitled to answer and then we will proceed to discovery and we will obtain that information that we believe is out there and weill prove rod's story. >> do you believe the president of the united states was aware of this piece? >> i have no idea. all i can tell you is what butowski told me. that's the fact that the white house is all over this and the presid

what they are talking about here, "dancing with the stars," sorry fans of the spicer u won't see mr. waltzing across the floor. turned down the show because of commitments in the fall. tmz quoted a source saying no explanation of what the entail.nts might another theory suggests spicer could be saving himself from humiliation, he's not a good dancer said the source from tmz, from rick learned perry his mistakes, perry, who is energy secretary, voted off week during cond his run on the show last year. a bit of flavor from the the ington post," from featured section there. florida, rom republican, you are on the air. host: did i get your name right, name?s your caller: cecil. host: i'm sorry, go ahead, cecil. caller: i'm calling, we get stuff made overseas and nothing country n. my opinion, i blame the union, i don't blame republicans, or although democrats are union people. the union is what it is. years old. o me, the '50's and '60s are the best years of our lives, i buying had two vehicles, snowmobiles, i lived in minnesota. times, now the best everything is made overseas, the reason

spicer resigned. now we're seeing mr. trump's senior policy adviser stephen miller on stage.d a press briefing on proposed changes to u.s. immigration policy, and many of the exchanges with the press, th they were testy, combative, the type of style it seems the trump administration prefers with regards to the press. let's listen to one of those exchanges with our own jim acosta as mr. miller mixed it up with him. >> i am shocked at your statement, that you think that only people from great britain and australia would know english. it reveals your cosmopolitan bias to a shocking degree that in your mind -- no, this is an amazing moment. i just want to say issue. >> did soun-- sounds like you'r trying to engineer the racial and ethnic flow of the people into this country. >> that's one of the most racial, insulting, ignorant things you've ever said. >> putting on quite a show there on stage, but the issue is not about jim acosta but more about the american people. the question here, mr. miller's performance on stage, it seemed that it was a job interview in many ways. would he

in his lawsuit that he and ba to you ski met with then white house spokesman sean spicer and provided him with a copy of mrwheeler's investigative notes. here is how white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders responded yesterday. >> did the president know about the story prepublication, and did he have an influence on way the story -- >> the president had no knowledge of the story and it's completely untrue that he or the white house had involvement in the story. >> okay. joining me now is the man we just talked a lot about, he had ba to you ski. he's the chief equity strategist at chap wood investments. i've known ed for years and ed is a friend. good to have you here. thank you for being with me. i want to start with the obvious question. did you in any way carry orders from the white house and relay them to rod wheeler that this story about seth rich and wikileaks should be published by fox news? >> no. you know, ali, there's so much to this. first of all, thanks for having me on because i want everybody in the world to understand what took place here, because it's nothing like what this lawsuit

as for sean spicer, i asked mr. wheeler about that. >> can i ask you more about fox.ve e-mails between butowsky and anchors at fox news telling them specifically what they should say. have you seen those e-mails? >> i've seen quotes from them. the complaint includes those e-mails from butowsky, who's this individual involved in the story, to the anchors. in fairness to the anchors, people get a lot of e-mails, so we can't say that that -- >> except for the fact -- >> let me break it down. >> do you have the e-mails? >> the suit claims that on may 15th, the night before the story aired on fox, trump supporter ed butowsky e-mailed various fox news producers and on-air talent, including those at "fox & friends" telling them how to frame the story. he allegedly wrote i'm actually the one who's been putting this together, but as you know i keep my name out of things because i have no credibility. one of the big conclusions we need to draw from this is that the russians did not hack our computer systems and steal e-mails and there was no collusion like trump with the russia

mr. trump, was not quite happy when we saw r president obama go off on vacation >> there's a tweet for everything out there. >> you w't white house spokes sean spicerncing with the stars, tmz reporting he turned down the offer. spicer reportedly said it was due to a quote overwhelmingly number of commitments in the fall. no comment on the report. about a week ago rumors started circulating the network approached spicy and also rulers they had approached the mooch. rick perry did it last year, and >> we know how that ended. >> ended up as energy secretary. >> what are you trying to say >> it was a spring board to something else. carlton from the fresh prince of bel air ended up being host of the >> i wonder how much cash that is >> that's not a job where you make a lot. you leave the government to go make more money. that's what happens >>> former president barack obama celebrating 56th birthday. it's his first since leaving office in january. obamas are reportedly returning to their favorite vacation spot in martha's v to celebrate. and here's a tweet from former first lady saying another year older but the same phenomenonal guy i married nearly 25

mr. rucker: it's a great question. i think there are a number of people in the mix for that. for the moment, sean spicerwho resigned as the press secretary a little over a week ago. he remains working at the white house. he's still there and i think he's functioning, to some degree, as communications director at the moment. keeping the trains running on time. ultimately, they will need a permanent replacement and i'm not sure who they will be hiring for that. charlie: is it fair to say for all intents and purposes, they have moved on from health care for the time being and are focused now on tax reform? mr. rucker: i think that's right. i think the president may comment on health care, he may still tweet about health care. but there is no active negotiation underway right now. the white house concedes privately that health care is not going anywhere right now. mitch mcconnell, the senate republican leader, is very eager to get going on taxes and other issues. to turn the page on the health care situation. charlie: i mentioned a "vanity fair" article about the editor times" and thek editor of "the washin

spicer, reince priebus, and steve bannon. the president's original inner circle. all of them gone in less than -- susan condemned mr. trump's response, and says she doesn't need to hear anything the president has to say. earlier she explained how she never ended up speaking to anyone from the white house. >> at first i just missed his calls. the first call it looked like actually came during the funeral. i didn't even see that message. there were three more frantic messages from press secretaries throughout the day, and i didn't know why that would have have been on wednesday. and i was home recovering from the exhaustion of the funeral. so i really hadn't watched the news until last night. and i'm not talking to the president now. i'm sorry. after what he said about my child. and it's not that i saw somebody else's tweets about him. i saw an alcohol clip of him at a press conference equating the protesters like ms. heyer with the kkk and the white supremacists. >> at least one prominent republican was commenting on president trump's shrinking inner circle. here's what former house speaker into the ging rich told fo

spicer spou er is out. people have characterized you as a suicide bomber. >> i saw it more as mr. wolf from "pulp fiction." i was probably running too hard and acting more like a corporate ceo than i was say a political operative. that is my mistake. i have listen. i have embraced the agenda. i grew up in a middle class family. a working class neighborhood. i see the economic desperation and struggle of those people. the president has appropriately identified that. the reason he won the prez den is si is that he wants his ageneral do da to include and lift up those people. i went in there with my heart and soul. i'm a straight-talking person. did i make mistakes? absolutely. but i enjoy being a straight-up guy today and in the future. >> one of the things you advised president trump against was firing robert mueller. the mueller invest dpags now a threat to the white house. he's reaching sba the white house for interviews with current and former white house staffers. >> i predict he won't find anything related to president trump or his family relating to the russia situation. >> w

picture, first it was michael flynn, then sean spicer, then reince priebus, then the meteoric rise and fall of anthony scaramucci, the mooch. now finally, mr as the president called him the other day, mr. bannon gone. and we're being told more heads could roll, perhaps talking head sebastian gorka, dr. gorkha to you and me. while firing bannon has shifted focus away from the flames of hate the president helped to fan, the relief may be short-lived. bannon is already back at his old website, breitbart, and apparently trying to sever trump's ties to his all important base. one of the cronies at breitbart for bannonweeting th wd "war." bannon telling the weekly standard the presidency that he and donald trump fought for and won is now over. think of that. all right, a lot to cover. and to talk about so let's bring in cnn's jim acosta joining us first with the very latest for the president's vacation spot in new jersey. jim, what are we finding out about the timing here, how this went down with bannon? >> well, chris it was alt-right, stage left you might say for steve bannon. from what we understand from talking to our source, this has been b

mr. president, good news. big rig bob 39 thinks you're killing it. [ laughter ] and then i guess he smiles. apparently, reince priebus and sean spicersed to fight over who got to deliver the folder, hoping it would keep them in the president's good graces. and by the way, it didn't work. [ laughter ] i do want to say, though, i don't know why it's a big deal that -- i don't know. the president has people deliver good news. i have my staff do the same thing every day. do you have my -- yeah. >> guillermo: here's the folder, your grace. >> jimmy: thank you very much, guillermo. [ cheers and applause ] let's see what we have in here. oh, this is nice. top of the show in top form as funny man enters to rapturous applause. nice. personal one. former sexual partners declare kimmel greatest lover. [ laughter ] cosmetic surgeons flooded with oh, and this is nice. oprah names james kimmel all-time favorite thing. well, that's nice. [ laughter ] thank you, guillermo. [ cheers and applause ] this is probably not in the president's good news folder today. according to the "washington post," the fbi last month conducted an early morning raid on

spicer and others, is that something you would consider? >> i don't know how to dance. [ applause ] >> jimmy: i don't know. well, you know what? that didn't stop mrt. you don't need to know how to dance to be on "dancing with the." how funny would it be if he did "dancing with the stars" and again got eliminated after a week? [ applause ] it's almost too much. meanwhile, there's a lot of conspiracy theories floating around the internet, but this one is serious. a number of eagle-eye twitter users noticed something about the outback steakhouse that has people absolutely bloomin' in their onions. >> a new internet theory suggests that outback steakhouse is running a satanic cult. it happened when one twitter user noticed that many steakhouses appeared to dot america's cities in the pattern of a five-pointed star associated with satanism. in cincinnati, north carolina and virginia shared similar tweets. >> jimmy: outback actually felt compel dtod thy en which, of course, they deny it. that's exactly what satan would do. [ laughter ] [ applause ] [ cheers ] as you may know, from time to time my cousin sal takes a hidden camera and some liberties to a

spicer, reince, priebus, anthony scaramucci and steve bannon out. the statement coming from the white house press secretary a short time ago. we're grateful for mr. bannon's service and wish him the best. kristen welker joining me now, nbc white house correspondent live in bed mip sister -- bridgewater. what more do we know at this hour? >> reporter: craig, this is perhaps the highest profile departure from this white house. because steve bannon helped this president get elected as you just mapped out and he was also perhaps the biggest lightning rod of this white house. he of course used to be a top executive at breitbart, he said he wanted it to be a platform for the alt-right and associated with the far right conservative movement of the republican party. and when president trump initially announced that he was going to appoint steve bannon to this role of chief strategist, you had establishment republicans weighing in saying it wasn't the right choice. it wasn't the right direction for this administration. the president ignored all of those calls for concern, including from a lot of democrats as well and moved forward with steve bannon. there

mr. president, i never called you and said those things that you said in your cabinet meeting monday. >> the credibility from the white house, this gap has existed from day one. remember when sean spicer talked about the crowd size? the reason that matters is because this white house has not had that reservoir of credibility to dip into at times like this. yesterday was really significant by saying that, yes, we're confirming the reporting that the president weighed in, crafted, had a hand in crafting this statement regarding his son. then today, talking about the conversation with a mexican leader who is a key ally and as it pertains to the president he is agenda or trade, there isn't credibility. >> the accusation here is that the president is making stuff up. the president of mexico is saying the president of the united states is making stuff up. what happened yesterday with the statement on don junior, the president's lawyer was caught in a lie. one of the things we hear from the president's team is it's of no consequence, the statements were of no consequence. my question to you -- you look at polls. you are a numbers person here. are they right? is this of no consequence? >> it

spicer and reince priebus. the president indicated his days were numbered this week. >> he's a good man. he is nos a racist. i can tell you that. we'll see what happens with mr. bannon. >> reporter: a darling of the alt right, role of keeping the promises the president made during the campaign. >> hold us accountable to what we promised. hold us accountable for delivering on what we promised. >> reporter: the blowback coming from the left and right, breitbart editor reacting to bannon's ouster on twister, one ominous word "war." nancy pelosi said it doesn't disguise where president trump himself stands on white sprechl sifts and the bigoted beliefs they advance. this may not quell the blowback from controversial remarks earlier in the week. the mother of the woman killed in a car attack by an alt right sympathizer said she has no interest in meeting the president. >> i've just missed his calls. the call, the first call looked like actually came during the funeral. >> reporter: and there was more fallout still. news today that some top-shelf charities were cancelling events at trump's flagship mar-a-lago resort including the american cancer society, the americ
