anthony scaramucci lasted, i think, 11 days.ld the new yorker in an interview, he had little love for bannon. scaramucci left shortly thereafter. it's good to see you, anthony. thanks for being with us. so you certainly -- >> it's good to be here. >> -- you've got a history with steve bannon. i'm just wondering, what you make, first of all, of these charges against him. and if true, what it means? >> well, i want to start out with obviously we have the presumption of innocence in our country. and so, we have to go with that, for right now. but just want to talk about his character. he is a nefarious guy. and there's a ma lilevolence to him. his white nationalist agenda, divide the country, and all this anti-immigration, which i think thank god has become unfashionable. one of the reasons why vice president biden is going to win the election. that soup, if you will, is a very bad, toxic soup. and so, one of the things i'm very proud of. you know, when i got to the white house, whatever my relationship is now with president trump,

>> ask anthony scaramucci. anthony is now in line with me understanding what's going on. anthony and i have had these conversations before. this president thinks we are back in the 1800s. where black people, not just women, are supposed to mind their place. i have watched him when other black journalists ask him questions, he's like, who are you? don't let it be a black woman. a black woman who knows her place. meaning that we have a seat at the table, too. we own the table. this president is very intimidated. he is so used to people stepping in line. anthony, am i correct, the loyalty issue, and when he sees a black woman who has a mind of her own, can critically think about things that he does that may be wrong and he wants to make it seem like it's okay, he has a problem with that. let's start with susan rice. let's start with maxine waters. let's start with congresswoman frederica wilson. let's start with april ryan. let's start with abby phillips. let's just go down the line. this president does not like to be challenged. black women think for themselves. we've gone

anthony scaramucci. also, april ryan, white house correspondent for american urban radio networks. >> thanks. >> let's see. mr. scaramucci, you know donald trump, very well. they had a lot of time to prepare to respond to senator kamala harris. they thought that she would probably be the pick. and we got birtherism, sexism, and racism? what? what? >> so, one -- it's a one-man show. he he's paralyzed the executive branch. that's why you have had such a disaster response for the crisis. but also, the campaign. they are waiting on him on strategy. and he is going back to his old playbook that he thinks worked for him last time. so, that's what it is and he is doubling and tripling down on the racism on twitter because he is trying to signal to people that, low-income housing, guys, is code very african-americans. that is obviously what he is trying to say to people. it's offensive to me. i grew up in an area like that. and many times, those kids in low-income housing went on to become multi-millionaires. so, that's his playbook. >> there aren't low-income, white people, anthony? >> th

anthony scaramucci, thank you for your time today.> thank you. >>> democrats are highlighting joe biden's empathy as president trump backs a candidate who is too toxic to get in and uber. stay with us. you may think you're doing all you can to manage type 2 diabetes and heart disease... ...but could your medication do more to lower your heart risk? jardiance can reduce the risk of cardiovascular death for adults who also have known heart disease. so, it could help save your life from a heart attack or stroke. and it lowers a1c. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration, genital yeast or urinary tract infections, and sudden kidney problems. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. a rare, but life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction and don't take it if you're on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. taking jardiance wit

joining us now is former white house communications director, anthony scaramucci. ony, great to have you here. what's been your takeaway from these couple of days so far? >> well, i mean, let's just talk about that act. i think, once again, the president is pushing governmental enormous and he's showing a careless disregard for the system of governing we put in for the last 144 years. i have to mention secretary pompeo for a second. the fact that he's the acting secretary of state and he's beaming in from jerusalem, he really does no better. he went to west point and harvard law school. and i think these people have gotten their judgment miscued because of the president's recklessness. i don't know where all of this is going to go, years from now, as people wake up from this, if you study what happened in the mccarthy era, there were people like this that did these things and lived to regret it and ended up like i believe the president will in november, in the ash heap of history. this is stuff we shouldn't be doing in our country. the diffusion of power, alisyn, ha

>> [ laughter ] i would suggest to you that anthony scaramucci has no earthly idea what we talk about inside this campaign. and so i can tell you here, we're one united team, seeing the president reelected in 90 some days is our sole focus and i would caution against using anthony scaramucci as a knowledgeable source about much. leland: there's a lot of reporters who learned that lesson the hard way. we appreciate your time. thank you very much, especially on a sunday. we know you're burning the midnight oil every day. good to see you. >> good to see you. thank you. leland: gillian. gillian: joining us now is texas democrat, member of the house appropriations committee, congressman henry quaare. thank you for joining us. you heard tim mortaw there, he said joe biden is an empty vessel, appears to be hijacked by the extreme left faction of his party. what's your response? >> i know joe. he's done a good job. when he served as a senator, he was so good at negotiating so i disadegree with that. he is one that will develop consistenconsensus, whether wite progressive folks or even with re

anthony scaramucci served as president trump's third white house communications director. he is also the founder of skybridge capital. anthony, always good to see you. speaker pelosi says president trump is actively trying to suppress the vote. do you agree with her? >> 100%. and he's going to come up with a couple other things between now and the next 75 days. he's suppressing the vote because he's looking at the math and he can't make the math work. he got very lucky last time. it was at least 100,000 votes in about 4 to 6 swing states got him over the hump. not going to happen this time. the margins are just too wide, and the undecided voters, a very, very small amount of voters. so the move here is to try to take the voters that are going to vote against him off the table, and so that's what they're doing with the post office. that's why he's already suggesting and leaning into the idea of bringing law enforcement out. of course, people will be afraid of that. it's just like when you're driving in your car and you see a police officer, everyone automatically slows down.

joining me now, former white house communications director anthony scaramucci. again, anthony. as you know, president trump's niece mary trump secretly recorded trump's sister judge barry talking about the president in extremely negative terms. i just want to play a quick clip from you which was first obtained by "the washington post." the president's sister judge barry also said, quote, donald's out for donald, period. what do you make of hearing something like that coming from his own sister with whom he is close? >> well, listen, i think there is anxiety in that family related to what he's doing and what he's perpetrating on the nation and the world. and so they're expressing that anxiety. and mary trump has done a service to the electorate by at least explaining in a clinical way the manifestation of the president's personality and why we're in such a bad state. he can't manage things. he only cares about himself. he'll be on stage for four days in the upcoming convention. it's a one-man broadway show running the presidency. and there are cabinet officials i'

ap anthony scaramucci? how are you, sir? >> great. good morning. >> oh, yeah, good morning.t'd you think? what stood out to you? >> well, you know, i mean, listen. i'm trying to be fair about this. i think that they're -- they're trying to make an argument that they don't have. and so, that's where the chasm and the gaslighting comes in. so, they failed on the pandemic. they had healthcare workers lying about it. they failed on law and order, so they lied about the unrest in the cities. and they tried to blame it on vice president biden and the democratic party, when he's actually running the country. and so, it's sort of this weird r r rubics cube. but ultimately, what it came down tonight, when i watched the whole thing, is they are just trying to get voter participation up in their base. they recognize that the majority of the country dislikes the president's handling of the covid-19 crisis. and also, dislikes what happened to the economy, as a result of his handling of the crisis. and so, they are hoping they can get voter participation up in their base, that they can ra

well with that anthony scaramucci thank you so much for sharing your insights we're going to see how this all plays out really appreciate your spending time with us and sharing thoughts on really these important political technomage tectonics in the united states thank you well it's an honor to be yours thank you for having me so what's the bottom line is history repeating itself donald trump is facing similar challenges from the right and the left as he did in 2016 back then he was 9 points behind hillary clinton today's 9 points behind joe biden a lot of americans were angry then they felt betrayed after the financial crisis and after endless wars trump won because his base actually wanted somebody to strangle washington d.c. but my guess today after watching trump in action watching him mismanage a pandemic stoke flames of racial division propagate conspiracy theories believe donald trump cares only about his own power and not the welfare of all americans in just a few weeks the people of america are going to decide if this is the kind of country they want and that's the bottom li

joining us now is former white house communications director anthony scaramucci. o see you. did you know miles taylor? >> i didn't know miles, no. but i respect him. he's obviously a patriot and he's speaking out and he knows the risks of speaking out, alisyn. he knows that they'll stop at nothing, they have this ruthless opposition research machine and they try to tear up your life, see if can they tabloid you and find bad things about you. i don't know. i mean, this is not the america that i think any of us want to live in and then they do the what aboutism, they're trying to show the cities in distress. they're in distress because of the trump administration. they're in distress because we're lying about the science. and we wreck the economy because we couldn't listen to epidemiology. i applaud him but there are great risks to him. >> let's start at the end of what he said there, where he likened the president to a child saying he was mesmerized by the spinning of the hurricane and wanted to know if it was the same as toilets spinning and flushing. as they hoped

but also knows how to present her argument to trump in the way that's appealing because as anthony scaramucciold me, trump likes to be the star and he doesn't like costars and, again, that was a very appealing way to present the vice presidential candidate, he didn't want a co-star. >> up next in our look at president trump the republican party and the upcoming presidential election, former republican speaker to have house newt gingrich who in a program in 2020 made his case on why the president should be reelected in november. >> when i first stood up to write the book i thought that trump had a very substantial vantage and i would have said at the time that my expectation was he would win and win by big margin. i think now it's up in the air, but i think it depends in parton what happens. if the economy start to come back enough, the people feel like they see hope. then i think the president has a huge opportunity to win. if the economy stumbles and feels like whatever trump's magic was that he ain't got it anymore, then i think there's a problem. the challenge for democrats is -- i did an

anyone from anthony scaramucci to bolton and jim mattis, former secretary of defense, but hopefully we'll see more and lead up to november and stay tuned. >> miles, we really appreciate you speaking out so candidly with us and telling us what's really going on inside. we will speak to you again soon. >> great, thanks alisyn and john. i appreciate it. >> i mean, what can you say? >> astonishing. >> he paints a picture and this is his version, although it lines up with what we have said before, but this is astonishing. >> he couldn't have put a finer point on it and he's obviously -- he's risking his own physical -- you know, his life he's saying but it's worth it, he says. he says he thinks other people will make that decision at some point soon. okay. good morning, everyone. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is "new day." we are just hours away from watching joe biden formally accept his party's nomination for president of the united states. his running mate kamala harris made history last night, accepting her nomination to become the first black and s

as anthony scaramucci told me trump likes to be the star and doesn't like costars and that was a very appealing way to deal with vice president of candidates. >> the republican party and the upcoming presidential election, former republican speaker of the house newt gingrich who in a program from june of 2020 made his case for why the president should be reelected in november. >> when i set out to write the book i thought trump had a very substantial advantage and i would have said at the time my expectation -- i think now it is up in the air but it depends in part on what happens. if the economy starts to come back enough, but people feel we see hope, then i think the president as a huge opportunity to win. if the economy stumbles and it feels like whatever trump's magic was, that he ain't got it anymore then there is a problem. the challenge for democrats, i did a newsletter the other day on biden is schumer pelosi as a machine and said this is not an election between donald trump and president biden. is an election between donald trump and the machine of which biden is the weakest

but also knows how to convince her argument to trump in a way that is appealing because as anthony scaramucci told me, trump likes to be the star and doesn't like costars. and again, that was a very appealing way to present the vice presidential candidate. he didn't want a costar. >> sometimes and i think this happens, sometimes people say why do we care about first ladies? why should we pay any attention to first ladies? why does it matter? if someone said that to you, what would you say to them? why should we care about melania trump? i asked -- and i asked somebody susan, you know a lot about the subject and i'm going to answer but i would love to hear -- she wrote matriarch about george bush his wife, barbara bush. i a terrific book that answers this question. so you first and then i will go. >> you know, for barbara bush i think part of it was the era in which she grew up. when she was in, at center stage. stage. she was born in 1925. when we did not, before that, when we did not have the opportunities they have now. women were often not taken that seriously. barbara bush was very accust

his type was short anthony scaramucci lasted, i think, 11 days during that brief period that he had littlefor bannon. he left shortly thereafter. thanks for being with us. you certainly have a history -- >> good to be here. >> you got a history with steve bannon. what do you make of these charges against him and the -- if true, what it means. >> well, i want to start out with obviously we have the presumption of innocence in our country so we have to go with that for right now but we should talk about his character. he's a thguy with his white nationalist agenda or what he wants to do is divide and conquer the country and all of this anti immigration, which i think is thank god is sort of unfashionable, one of the reasons vice president biden is going to win the election, that's a toxic soup. one thing i'm very proud of, i got to the white house, whatever my relationship is now with president trump, it was very clear he wanteded to get steve bannon and reince priebus out of the white house. let go back three years ago, which in fact, they were. i made a mistake with a reporter, whenever it

chris liu and anthony scaramucci. i want to dig into these poll numbers. michael, we'll start with you. a a stable race so far. what do you see in these numbers and how would you characterize the race we're in 79 days out now? >> it is stable. the one thing that struck me and i think it's important for folks not to -- is the economy number. that could be a problem because that number matters. there's a strategy why the president came out and started talking about what? suburbia, how you could lose that life you built. the comfort you have, the economy you have there. you've got to look at the economy how suburban voters see it. >> brittney, is there anything in this poll that concerns you? >> it's something the campaign certainly has to pay attention to. i'm going to push it though because from my seat, donald trump talking about suburban voters had little to do with the economy. it had everything to do with dog whistle politics. that frankly were louder than a dog whistle. these ideas about losing your way of life are central to tactics and that was r fam

. >> i had anthony scaramucci on the broadcast yesterday and he said that there is a lot of documentationthis book. >> mm-hmm. >> and you could confirm that as well. do you have that understanding? >> oh, absolutely. i mean, michael took very, very diligent notes. but as we all know, he has tons and tons of recordings of this president. copies of documents, financial documents, tax returns, i mean all times of things that he was involved in negotiating so many contracts that this is one of those books that i think people will take note of. >> to what end? do you think this will sway die hard trumpians if you will, those that are his base that have stood by him from the last year of the campaign and through any manner of issues and accusations, through certain levels of malfeasance, even the last three and a half years. >> i don't think that michael cohen's goal is to sway the base. i think that this is michael cohen telling his own truth and his own story and sharing things that he wanted to share beyond his testimony on the hill. but also, because the president went after michael cohen i
