scaramucci and bud jackson, political action committee. anthony, you have supported donald trump for a very long time. you're a member of his transition team. how would you describe his relationship as of right now with organized labor? >> well, he's definitely not going to war with the unions. he had a little issue with union leadership that is questioning his advocacy for the regular union member. speaking as a child of a union member, what i would say to fellow union poeople out there s you finally have a friend in the white house. he's a guy who went out of his way during the transition with vie president-elect mike pence to bring people jobs into indiana and to keep them there. what i would say to the union members out there, you've got a friend in the white house but union leadership should stay on their toes. >> bud, it is an important distinction to make. donald trump in the series of tweets saying that union boss is a terrible leader, doing a terrible job. he's attacking the leader, not the union itself or organized labor in general. >> h

you mentioned anthony scaramucci started his career there. you have steve manchin, he's left. you mentioned bannon it's a long tradition back to the 1920s that goldman sachs and investment banks that when you get successful you give service to government. goldman was the gold standard of investment banks, during the financial crisis it for for good reason, gained a bad reputation. so the problem with steve mnuchin and wilbur ross as treasury secretary and commerce secretary respectively is that they're millionaires and billionaires so it's washington with a nicer pair of shoes and silk tie but steve mnuchin left goldman sachs, bought a bank called indy mac, changed the name of that bank and foreclosed on 36,000 people. that's different from passively taking advantage of a bad market because you happen to be a savvy investor like john paulson did. that will be tough. if you were talking about draining the swamp, you're bringing in not on millionaires and billionaires but people who are not very much in touch with the people who elected you. wilbur ross owned the sego mine in wh

in moments, trump transition team insider anthony scaramucci will be here on that. james rosen has the latest on eric trump's decision. >> good evening. apparently it goes farther than published çreports, the charitable foundation bearing his name -- he personally will will stop soliciting contributions. the foundation has raised $8 million to help the children at st. jude's research hospital. that step in turn followed the cancellation of an online auction to benefit st. jude in which bidders have reached $72,000 to have coffee with ivanka trump. the family withdrew his name from a fun raising deal promising million dollar donors that they could go on a hunting trip. kellyanne conway bristled when a cnn anchor likened the children's charity to the clinton foundation. >> you're saying the same thing. >> i am not. >> paying a lot of money to hang out with the president is okay rnls when you let me know that eric trump's foundation took $100 million or so from saudi arabia which doesn't treat women and girls the way we treat them here, then we'll talk. >> a december

i'm joined now by anthony scaramucci, he's on the executive committee of the trump transition, and jonathan capehart, an opinion writer with "the washington post," and an msnbc political analyst. and actually, anthony, we were just talking about this in the last block. i wonder if this is an extension. we're trying to figure out who donald trump is and what kind of philosophy he has. is this the "you think you're a tough guy, i'm going to show you i'm tougher." you're president obama, "you think you won the election, i'm going to make sure i feel i have to go out there and say i would have won it"? >> i don't see it like that. i see it more of a spirited, jocular rivalry. they're both very competitive guys. you caught the president-elect's first tweet, saying, of course the president should say he could beat them. i think it's part of partisan rivalry. i don't think there's anything -- >> is that a window into trump? i thought one of the most revealing moments in trying to figure out who trump was during the campaign, it was in one of the debates. i think it was the second one, when they sa

i can't wait to see our millionaire usher, anthony scaramucci, bring kudlow into trump tower.e should have, we should have cameras on to see anthony scaramucci bringing in larry kudlow because that would be of all the guys that anthony brought in, this would be one of the guys to celebrate if you believe in free market economics which i do, and i know you do. liz: yeah, yeah. >> we'll see our millionaire usher, ushering in a real economic guru, larry kudlow. liz: when you talk to traders, i was getting emails from scott here on the new york stock exchange, aside from the fact that we have real support from stocks across the board, it is sort of that perception in the end that it's a trump economy perhaps that could really be friendly to all of this but you and i talked about the trade element. if the trade line is free between the united states and other countries, look out below!, there could be real issues with solid companies here that need that trade. >> you're absolutely right. there is a lot of moving parts but his broad economic message is good. cut regulation, cut taxe

i'm joined right now by anthony scaramucci. thank you for coming on again this week. what do you make of this fbi story, "the new york times" story today, about the fbi's looking at this hack, going back to september of '15, more than a year ago, the dnc's apparently faulty effort to react to it. the fbi's lack of zest in pursuing it. and the white house's failure to move on it. and your guy, donald trump's denial that it was, in fact, the case. is he going to keep up that denial after the -- >> look, i -- >> the top floor tomorrow? >> well, with look, i'm with him all day. it's not that he's denying it, he's just waiting for more evidence to come out. listen, we stand alongside of everybody else that thinks that hacking the dnc or hacking any american organization, corporations like sony or the american government, is not something that we want happening. we denounce all hackers out there. i just think, i said this to you last week and i'll say it again today, even john clapper today said that there's some conflicting information that's come out between the cia and t

then a larger point, the muslim ban, you had anthony scaramucci say that donald trump wasn't backing the muslim ban any longer, they had walked that back and they don't believe it in any longer but donald trump has never come out and said this so what we have is a number of his aides and soon to be cabinet officials coming out and saying what this administration's policy will be without the president of the united states backing up that policy. >> specifically on russia, i think you're seeing the president-elect taking the same exact approach that president george w. bush took and president barack obama. when they both came into office they both wanted better relation with russia and found out they couldn't have better relations with vladimir putin. but the goal is not a bad one in general but as many americans who came of age during the cold war and since realize we have to be cautious but that initial approach is not different than the last two presidents of both -- obviously of both parties. >> they didn't come in with a russian hacking scandal hanging over their heads. >> circums

to anthony scaramucci. thony, there's so many levels on this defense thing alone that bears focusing with you. is he letting all government contractors know, don't care what you signed and committed to, it's not done and if that's the case, byç citing two defene guys, is he reminding everybody, yeah, even the defense guys near and dear to traditionally republicans. >> i don't want to go that far. i think he is saying he wants to look at things clinically and take another cut at the behalf didn't onon the behest of the taxpayer. my guess is some contracts are fine the way they are but some of them had some excess costs built in there. you and i are old enough to remember the $800, $900 hammers. >> -but i wasn't born. >> but you were in kindergarten, and that grades commission exposed a lot of this creeping costs, re-assign independent the -- re-assign independent the pentagon. you have to've the spirit of the president-elect. out there pushing on behalf of the american people. sending a message. i don't know

. >> joining us now with more, anthony scaramucci and robert wolf. good to see you both. >> great to see you. >> i want to talk through some of the things we've outlined here. there are some trying to throw muma abedin under the bus. >> he has the right to be furious. i like the idea he said this should be a bipartisan commission looking at the hacking. with respect to the election i'm probably going to align with anthony. it's over and time to move on. you know? i don't like what happened with comey. i thought wiki leak thing, i hated that as well. at the end of the day, like the president just said, the election is over and we have to move on. >> there is no comey letter without those decisions that led to that path. >> there is no question the e-mail server was over our heads for 18 months. >> because of shugss she made. >> i'm in the questioning that. but i'm not that familiar with when the fbi should or should not engage publicly. i'm not going to be here and someone says the score board changed but it stopped momentum. >> okay. robert, you ment

. >> well, the interview you did last night with anthony scaramucci, i saw that as a sign that trump world was coming around on this. >> incrementally, perhaps? >> yeah, but he wasn't challenging the idea russia was we hind the hacks then you had trump tweeting this morning, inaccurately, but again he wasn't challenging the idea, he was entertaining the idea that maybe russia was behind the attacks and i suspect that's because trump and his people have been briefed on this intelligence and they realize it's untenable for them to deny that russia is playing a role when the entire intelligence community is saying otherwise, brian. >> richard engel, as someone who has covered kinetic shooting warfare for over the past decade, what else is going on here? offer some context to americans who may not regard this as anything close to an act of warfare. >> well, what's interesting is the u.s. over the last almost 20 years now has been very involved in shooting wars and has gotten very good at counterterrorism sbermgs. but many in the intelligence community i've been speenging with are saying

anthony scaramucci, from the trump transition team. anthony, good morning. >> good morning, bill.l: when he talkses about consequences, what are they? what is the penalty if they take jobs overseas? >> i don't think the president-elect wants to necessarily be specific about that, he is more thinking about the incentives, less on consequences. his attitude, the consequences will be economic harm to you by not adopting our plan and going with our incentives. if you see situation with carrier, they're getting a $7 million break over 10 years, $700,000 a year, about $875 a worker. if you think about that in the context, that is very low price to keep the workers in place, bill, to create positive externalities, increase in income tax. able to go to shopping malls, and local grocer, more disposable income. i think what president-elect is really focused on you will have consequences. the consequences you will be outside of our market. you won't have your people here in our market. my guess is steve mnuchin and wilbur ross works with the president-elect on tax policy and trade policies v

presidential transition team, anthony scaramucci is joining me now, how are you. >> i am great, happy holidays. >> merry christmas, happy hanukkah and happy holiday to you. >> amen. >> the fact that a tunissian was part of a huge inproduct influx of refugees it is not good for her is it. >> that is not coming up until september. i think that more troublesome thing, that you are identifying is that it is hard to vet these people that are coming in country, very hard to understand what their wishes are for their families and themselves. as you know, we need one or two people, they can cause a lot of harm to very innocent people. this is why president-elect has talked about extreme vetting for united states we have to get it right for the american people. one thing that president-elect is super confident of his capabilities and his team's capabilities is making the people of the united states feel safer and be safer, one of those is how we screen people coming in. we want people that wan want to be in love with people and country. >> and embrace our values. >> right. >> this man claims h

another member of the skaem, anthony scaramucci, told me that he had nothing but praise. he seemed to contradict the statement that it was not a smooth transition. >> i think when he is going after him in that way, it is two guys. i'm sure they're going to play some golf together. and by the way, president-elect trump if we here, he would tell that you the obama administration has done everything they can to help us in the transition. he came back and discussed it. >> what do you make of this? it almost seems par for the course. different than anything we've ever seen before. the two of them talk and then he's back to saying nice things. doctor does seem to be a pattern here. i think we'll see more of it and that's what happens. >> my take on it is that at the white house level, it is going very smoothly. i think the president is full of advice to the president-elect and he has the good sense to listen to the advice from someone who has been in that job. those parachuting into federal agencies, i think there might be a different story. remember the trump team began with l

now, here's what we reported exclusively last night, that anthony scaramucci, the head of skybridge capital, used to run wall street week here, is now shopping at least his chunk of skybridge capital. there's a nondisclosure agreement, there's a book, essentially. when you shop something of that magnitude, a book gets -- neil: i always thought he owned all of it. he doesn't? >> he owns the majority of it, more than 50%, so that book is being circulated around wall street to potential buyers, okay? and he -- which is the indication that he is looking for some sort of job within the trump administration, because you can't put that quite in a blind trust. you have to get rid of it. now, here's the sort of ups and downs of this whole thing with anthony. number one, we should point out that he has $11 billion in assets. year to date, it it has lost 1.% while the s&p has gained 10%. hedge funds have not done very well. so it's not going to be a totally easy sell. on the other hand, if you buy it, you're buying it knowing his stake that you've got a friend in anthony scaramucci who's probably goin

steve bannon worked at goldman in the '80s and anthony scaramucci had two stints at goldman. >>> two space cowboys set to meet with donald trump tomorrow along with a slew of other silicon valley titans. jeff bezos is one. he joked he would like to send donald trump into space in one of his rockets. trump targeted him on twitter. bezos bought washington post in 2013. and elon musk. he told the business network that trump was probably not the right guy for the presidency. the two will join the ceos of apple, alphabet, microsoft and facebook sheryl sandberg and other executives to meet with president-elect tomorrow. >>> "early start" continues right now. >> donald trump poised to pick the ceo of exxon mobile as secretary of state, but already push back on rex tillerson. >>> late night tweet from president-elect. vowing to leave his businesses before january 20th. does that mean he will no longer own the trump organization? welcome to "early start." i'm christine romans. >> i'm george howell. it is tuesday, december 13th. 5:00 a.m. breaking overnight. donald trump set to pick his secret

greenburg's chaperone was millionaire usher, anthony scaramucci inside of trump tower. illionaire, scaramucci, beers a billionaire to see another billionaire, donald trump. which is very interesting. that's where we are right now. it is all about china policy. hank is the best guy about that. whether donald changes his rhetoric or not is whole another story. there is political element, liz. he got elected by going after china and trade. his core supporters support that. not necessarily the guys he put around him, the business guys getting jobs there. that is where we are right now. back to you. liz: hank has met with every chinese leader since chaing kai-shek i'm sure. charlie gasparino, 27 minutes before the closing bell rings. we're not at highs of the session. at the highs of the session we were up 157 points. we stand at 19,919. the president-elect, he made his official pick for secretary of state. the leader of one of the biggest corporations on planet earth with a rolodex of global friends and leaders just as big, but as oil's biggest man gets ready to be a diploma

anthony scaramucci, come back any time. >> appreciate it. >> joining me now is john harwood, correspondent for msnbc. mr. scaramucci is quite diplomatic and trying to say the pence byline. >> by the way, i have some water for your hair if you need it. >> well, again, it is true -- i was talking to a friend of mine who worked at the state department. they were saying -- just imagining the freakout that is happening at foggy bottom. they tend to be quite rule-bound and quite bureaucratic and there's probably a lot of dos and don'ts that maybe should be reassessed. but this has real big implications, right? >> i think so and it seems to me that anthony was describing it in a way that doesn't seem to fit the emerging reality of the situation. it does appear to be purposeful and republicans with a lot more experience dealing with foreign policy than you, me or anthony have characterized it as a purposeful call. i talked to ari fleischer, for example, george w. bush's press secretary. he said, i welcome this so long as it's on purpose because the status quo needs to be changed in the u.s./china

can that be earmarked as anthony scaramucci was saying and get it away from them? ?ou identify projects of great national interest. projects that help people, last a long time, stand the test of time, and help our country. >> quickly, the wall gets built. >> and for the middle class workers of this country, we will secure the border, protect their jobs, fix our trade deals, lower taxes, restore the role of law and get rid of the illegal obama executive orders. >> vet refugee webs get rid of obama care, savings accounts replace it? >> yes. >> push for school choice. and we have a great education secretary who will do that. work with ben carson at hud. to help urban renewal. >> energy independence. how important is that to economic growth situation? >> it is huge, sean. think about this. three wonderful gifts to our economy. regulatory reform. repatriation of overseas profits and energy revolution. >> last question, how many hours will trump spend on day one repealing executive orders? >> a stack of illegal and unconstitutional executives actions or just executive akes

spoke to reporters at trump towers, and then we spoke to anthony scaramucci, a leader of the transition team. here is a look. >> can you go over some of those points, how you will work on the economy, middle-class versus rich? >> i cannot be more honored to serve the president-elect. i have had the opportunity to work with them through the campaign. i cannot be more excited about the opportunity to work with him and the administration. our number one priority is going to be the economy, get back to 3% to 4% growth, we believe that is very sustainable, and focus on things for the american worker, that is absolutely our priority. >> have you get corporations [indiscernible] plan is to: our tax lower corporate taxes, to make u.s. companies the most competitive in the world, making sure we repatriate trillions of dollars back to the united states. in personal income taxes, the most significant income taxes since reagan. tremendous boost to the economy. experiencehow your with hollywood and wall street will help? many people say you do not have the government experience. mr. mnuchin: let me

workers because of donald trump's victory in joining us with reaction, the trump transition team, anthony scaramucci, austan goolsbee is here. you left early, but i just did a comparison at the start of the show today. what kennedy did, what reagan did, both worked. what obama did was the opposite. it didn't work. so, anthony, if he does what he plans on doing, corporate tax rate 15%. 10 % repatriation rate. seven brackets to three. repeal obama care, emergency independence. what kind of growth? >> and a roll back in regulations. >> that's energy independence. >> that's a big component. you can triple the obama jobs numbers but you've seen it reflected in the stock market. you've already got the move. today we had a tech summit up there. they were talking about infrastructure spending not only in technology and to help on cyber security but also how are we going to block sooisis from using the internet as an instrument. that will lead to economic growth as well. >> why am i nervous about a trillion dollar boondoggle infrastructure spending. >> wait for the plan. you could have the repatriation treat

. >> joining us now with reaction is the author of "hopping over the rabbit hole", anthony scaramucci. i'm in favor of them heading this corporation government that we have called america. >> i would love to have the left have the headline the hatred of billionaires and american success stories is over but that won't happen unfortunately. they think by pitting classes against each other, that's a good political advice. but i'm the product of a middle class family as i know you are because i read your great book "wake up america." so for me i would tell people that message from the top here is we want to hire the b people, most talented people in each one of these areas to help the people of the united states. and a lot of the billionaires referenced are classic american success stories where they built themselves up from middle class origins to where they are today. so for me i want to see a restoration of that where working class families have those aspirations for their children and grandchildren and if we get the policies right, eric, we can do that for every american. i'm excited
