press secretary sanders: correct. when it comes to the people who have access to the president, will that conduit be narrowed down? will ever think low through kelly?- flow through press secretary sanders: the president has given full authority to general kelly. the white house said that mr. scaramucci wanted to give john kelly a clean slate. press secretary sanders: i think anthony wants general kelly to be able to operate fully with a clean slate while at the same time, the president felt his comments were inappropriate. they're not mutually exquisite. -- exclusive. out, generalid new structureng to the white house and discipline, and strength. we are all really excited to work with him. i will not draw out a chart right now but we will keep you posted. >> does everything go through general kelly? press secretary sanders: he has the full authority to carry out business as he sees fit. >> a really quick one. sean spicer, will he be in the administration in any way now that anthony scaramucci announced that he will no

sanders: oure preference now is to repeal and replace. reporter: take us through the process of how the president decided to hire the new communications director. and moving forward, what will his role be in terms of objectives the president wants him to meet? ms. huckabee sanders: anthony has been a loyal supporter of the president, and anthony is somebody who has come from nothing and built an incredible, several incredible companies, and he is one of the most successful smart people that the president could put on his team, and the president recognize that and want him to be part of this process. early on, he was a very strong advocate throughout the transition, and this has been part of the process of bringing him inside the white house. reporter: to follow up on robert mueller, does president trump have confidence robert mueller will conduct a fair investigation? ms. huckabee sanders: i do not have any reason to see otherwise, but i have not had a chance to ask the president, i would like to get clarity before i comment. reporter: [i

bernie sanders: that's right, 27 bucks., most importantly, we may have lost the election in 2016, but there is no question -- there is no question -- there is no question that we have won the battle of ideas. and we are continuing to win that battle. and that is, brothers and sisters, no small thing. because of the grassroot efforts of activists like you throughout this country, we have in recent years made enormous progress in advancing the progressive agenda. and i want all of you -- you know, sometimes what we all do is we look at today, and we say, "well, you know, that's kind of the way it always was." that's not the case. ideas that just a few years ago seemed radical and unattainable are now today widely supported, and, in fact, some of them are being implemented as we speak. and i want you to appreciate what together we have accomplished. don't take this for granted. five years ago, not a long time ago, with a federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour? -- ?a starvation wage -- if five years ago somebody here jumped up a

huckabee sanders: good afternoon. mark the last day of made in america week this afternoon the president will welcome several living survivors of the attack on u.s.s. arizona at pearl harbor and their families. other events this week have focused mainly on products and goods bearing the highly esteemed made in america label. truly the most prized thing to have come out of our country have been the brave men and women who have risked their lives protecting the freedom of americans and our allies around the globe. just a few minutes ago at 2:00 the president signed an executive order that will ensure the men and women of the greatest military in the world have the ships, aircraft, vehicles, and other supplies they will need to keep us safe in the years ahead. this order commissions the first ever whole government assessment of america's industrial base, marking the first time since president eisenhower that an american president is investing personal attention into the health of the united states defense industrial base

huckabee sanders: thank you. reporter: can you clarify where the president stands on the issue of pardons? is he considering pardons in the issue of the russian investigation and does the president believe he has the power to pardon himself? ms. huckabee sanders: i refer you to the comments already made by the outside counsel in terms of their actions. the president maintains pardon powers like any president would. but there are no announcements or planned announcements on that front whatsoever. reporter: does he believe he has the power to pardon himself? ms. huckabee sanders: i don't have anything to add to what was already said. reporter: according to the "new york times" you raised questions about robert mueller. do you endorse the legal team's efforts to undermine robert mueller's credibility? ms. huckabee sanders: the president has absolutely nothing to do with any of the allegations being made. i think he's maintained that. he wants them to completel tross esas quickly -- complete their process as quickly

deputy huckabee-sanders: i will not speak for sean in detail. i can say that he understands wanted toresident bring in and adds new people to the team, and shawn felt like it sean felt like- it would be best for the team to start with a totally mean slate. i will at: anthony said, and i think it speaks to who he is at and -- i will speak to what anthony said, i think it speaks volumes as to who he is. we will continue to serve the president loyally. he will stay on for a couple of weeks through the transition and will be happy to answer some of those questions directly. >> first of all, congratulations on the job. can you clarify where the president stands on the issue of pardons? is he considering that in the russia investigations? does he believe he has the power to pardon himself? deputy huckabee-sanders: i will refer you to comments made by the outside counsel in terms of their actions. the president maintains pardon powers like any president would come but there are no plan announcements on that front whatsoever. >> do you believe he has th

there could be sanders expected to speak any moment now. no doubt discussing the communication strategy change. sean spicer has been stepping down and anthony scaramucci set to continue. tweeting earlier that he will stay on until the end of august, but a big change at the top here. julie: despite the anticipation of a make nice appearance between spicer and scaramucci, and there were reports that spicer departed in part because of the hiring of scaramucci. you have the russian investigation. alex wayne, how difficult is it white row -- whites now, -- right now, scaramucci aside, for the white house to recruit? leavecer is the second to the ministry should in the past two days. the man speaking on behalf of trump's legal team quit yesterday, and we were told by a different source that he quit because he did not like the direction of the legal defense. it has been reported that spicer also has left out of frustration with trump of the decision with the communications shop. but i should also point out here that jared kushner had a role in thi

what did sarah huckabee sanders call it, the russia fever? all this kind of stuff and stephanie and i were very frustrated because we're economics journalists. we'd love tow been talking about made in america week, but in fact we get did he railed by this russia stuff because the president is going after bob mueller and his team and talks about jeff sessions and all that kind of stuff. it is kind of frustrating because you have business to do on capitol hill and the mesh public is getting more and more frustrated with the fact that basic business isn't getting done. and i think all plam goes to the white house at this point. >> yeah, you mentioned russia. look, if i were the -- if i were in the white house, my advice to the president would be here is your answer on russia every single time. oh, i've done nothing wrong. director mueller is investigating the situation and we'll be cleared when his investigation is complete. next question. that should be the answer, but because, i know, the president then will intervene in some way or interfere,

bernie sanders. if you look at the response of his speech all around the country, town halls and whatnot, , you would see it. the republicans know it. everybody in american society knows it except for the democratic party. they are concerned. this quote is recently by leaving democrats -- leading democrats that the economic populism of bernie sanders will hurt them in more conservative swing states that they adopted. have they actually been paying attention to the rhetoric that has been succeeding in these states? it is not that bernie sanders won over just liberals. these levels have become more left wing. no, bernie sanders bowls very well among moderates and independents and others. people are fed up with politics who don't associate mike in europe social democracy with this decrepit tradition, but it is like this sounds about right. it sounds about right that i shouldn't have to go into debt if something happens and had to go to emergency room. these kind of things are common sense, and they spea

agents reportedly are investigating whether jane sanders, the wife of vermont senator bernie sanders,ud by going to make lying on the loan application for burlington college, which she ran from 2004 to 2011, and went under not long after that. sender sanders says this is all a witch hunt orchestrated by one man who has managed drums presidential campaign in the state of vermont, is that true? is it a witch hunt, we decided to ask the man himself. he joins us from burlington, vermont. thank you for coming on. >> tucker, thanks for having me. >> tucker: so let's get to the basis of the claim. there was a story a couple of days ago touted by the sanders campaign or office that the person who supplied the notion, who told you originally that jane sanders committed fraud on a loan application in fact was passing on hearsay and therefore, it says senator sanders, this whole claim is false. how do you respond to that? >> well, thanks for bringing that up, because there has been quite a bit of confusion over that issue. now, there is two aspects to this claim. the first one came about as the

when i think of bernie sanders i think of him supporting work and workers. and so what do you think about redistribution? >> i am for redistribution of power, right, and for building social goods. and in the process of building the money necessary to get the social goods we will have to reduce to be wealthy but i agree with you, the redistribution of wealth is a byproduct of the policies i want picus unnecessarily the main goal. in the project of building up the power of workers is workers are able to press man's which redistribute wealth. i think of it not as the main effect. i would agree with the concept. i would also say this is the reason why i think the idea that federal job security is much more powerful and dangerous idea, and also more politically palatable than ideas that are now like a universal base of income. somewhat ideal scenario would be federal jobs guarantee, plus a basic income for those engaging in care work or other work or other work traditionally not valued enough by society, who are unable to work but fundamentally i think that we ar

what do you think of bernie sanders using 9/11 as a comparison?iz, i simply don't understand it. for bernie sanders or any politician, liz, to try to utilize the most horrific day in our nation's history that's still fresh, by the way. with some of us. 9/11 wasn't that long ago. it was only 14 or 15 years ago and to try to use that horrific day for political gain is appalling, it's disgusting, and i'm really saddened that what's really tragic is the fact that he even attempted to do that and to say that. so it's really disheartening to hear one of our statements make that kind of statement. >> yeah. and he's saying -- it's debatable whether 28,000 people are going to die because of the gop reform and to trace that to 9/11, i wonder what the families say in pennsylvania and dc would say to that. >> these people are offended by this statement, liz. i tell you, i get the fact that there needs to be a lot of work done with obamacare. we need to repeal it and replace it. and let me tell you, our senators and congresspeople here on the hill, they're wor

bernie sanders. if you look at the response his speeches around the country get, and his town halls get, you can see it. the republicans know it. everybody in american society seems to know it except for the democratic party. their quotes recently by leading democrats saying they're concerned that the economic populism of bernie sanders will hurt them in more conservative swing states that they adopted. have they actually been paying attention to the rhetoric that's been succeeding in these states? it's not just bernie sanders has won over liberals, no, bernie sanders pulling very well among moderates and other people. there are people fed up with politics, like in europe, social democracy, with this old decrep decrepit -- they speak at the very group, the gut of someone's, you know, political beliefs and more unethical sense of being. so i am worried about a democratic party that doesn't embrace this and i'm worried about even if, let's say we have a cory booker-trump matchup in 2020, that even if t

b c and they're smearing bernie sanders or progressives are saying they're violet or other sexist or they're bernie bros just remember that is a tiny tiny tiny minority inside the democratic party those are eight percent of the democratic party or as johnny calls them the hate percent. i want to ask you in this in this system we now have this kleptocracy rule by thieves obviously money in politics is a huge huge problem a huge impetus for it but do you feel that the money you know gets into politics and corrupt system or does capitalism inevitably allow the state to be envelop by the money interests and. where do you think. you know i'm not smart enough to know but i do know the effects of money in politics and i do know that capitalism right now is eating itself right so general base those who's an eighty billionaire who brings us the news. out of syria i don't i don't think in any eighty billionaire who's got an economic model that amazon that's built on destroying local economies really wants to be a muckraker do you really think that guy wants to be a muckraker so that's yeah tha

ess that was from one of bernie sanders' campaign ad called "together." one student who was feeling the bern experienced firsthand how divisive and hateful the sanders campaign actually was and ended up want to go make america great again. jessica, was there a moment when you you realized sanders socialism wasn't for you? >> it was quite a few moments for me. i started out as a feminist and that movement kind of pushed me away it led me to bernie sanders. socialism stuck on quickly. i didn't know much about capitalism. for someone who didn't know much by the, socialism sounded great. you want equality for everyone, but that wasn't the way to do it. jesse: you said you were a feminist when you were a bernie sanders supporter. was there something during the campaign that made you think this isn't what feminism is about? >> i was a feminist for 8 months and charlie booth released a song, he's a famous singer, and one of his lyrics said i will be there to save the day. jesse: we have a clip of the song. >> i will be there save the day. >> so you are rinsing t

and very much to my surprise bernie sanders starts climbing in the polls. i thought bernie sanders if he does really well we'll go from-- he will double in the polls ago i went to 6% be basically the 2016 campaign on the democratic side and hillary can't say she had an opponents and the nomination wasn't handed to her. she only one 90% of the vote, but it turned out the bernie sanders campaign was catching that mccarthy magic and caught in new hampshire with a gene mccarthy campaign audits magic and then we saw something that no one-- none of us predicted this highly competitive race between the liberal insurgents on the liberal side of the democratic party against hillary clinton who many previously thought represented the liberal side of the democratic party, but in this construct she represented the establishment. she represented that moderate democratic party. is very similar to the role hubert humphrey played in 1968. humphrey was once before i was born the most liberal democratic senator meeting the civil rights movement and democratic party and here

sanders: right. so if my understanding is correct, and i'm quite sure it is, the american medical association, not one of the great progressive groups in america but the group that represents the physicians in this country, a, they have not been able to make testimony but, b, what is their view on this legislation? what do the doctors of america feel about this important legislation? mr. wyden: they are opposed, as i've indicated, and i think it is particularly important to see this provider-patient partnership that in this time is saying the patients come first and this bill hurts patients. mr. sanders: but we have not heard yet from one doctor making public testimony at a hearing. in other words, this bill -- what does this mean to your patients? what happens if 32 million people are thrown off of medicaid? how many of them will die? what about hospitals? what are -- what kind of testimony have we heard from hospital administrators, those in rural america, about the impact of this legislation on ru

sanders may have violated the law. complaint states is senator sanders was bullying banks and using the power of his position in order to speed up the loan process. last i checked, that's a big no-no. chris: and how shockingly common that sort of conduct is. if america's favorite socialist is able to do that. imagine what they are they and their spouse are getting that regular americans don't. kennedy: this gives validation to people who say perhaps the purchase of their home on lake champlain might also have been dubious. i'm not saying there is a correlation between the college land deal and the beautiful home they were able to purchase as part of the 1%. it does smack of hypocrisy. chris: there is nothing wrong with populism. there is nothing wrong with being a tribute of people. and there is nothing wrong with living well and being successful. the issue here is hypocrisy and whether sanders is walking the walk and not just talking the talk. kennedy: and falsifying documents for mrs. sanders. if she overstated the a

in another move it was revealed that sarah huckabee sanders would take over for sean spicer. announcement came directly from mr. scaramucci when he was announced at today's white house briefing. >> finally i would like to read a statement on the resignation of press secretary sean spicer. i am grateful for sean's work on the american people. i wish and continued success as he pursues new opportunities. anthony has been a great supporter and will help implement key aspects of our agenda violating the communications team. we have accomplished so much and being given credit for so little. the good news is that the people get it even if the media doesn't. i will be back after that to answer any follow-up questions. mr. scaramucci: thank you. i will be very brief, i will make my remarks in formal and take questions. i would like to announce formally that sarah huckabee sanders, you cannot hear me, i am sorry. sarah huckabee sanders will be the press secretary so you can congratulate her -- still can't hear me? no sound? better now? i will start over. you guys heard me in the front

zach, you were involved in deeply and bernie sanders campaign.hat was it about that experience in the last couple of years that persuaded you to start this incredibly ambitious movement to try to literally replace all the members of congress? >> yeah, it came from seeing what was possible on the brady campaign. millions of volunteers getting organized on their own, all over the country and yet, doing it in a well-organized way using technology, using all kinds of new things that didn't exist a few years ago. also, i've been around presidential campaigns around obama's campaign, carries campaign and howard dean's campaign, way back one of the first big grassroots internet power campaigns. this is something there's a new kind of politics. there's something new in our political system and people are only beginning to understand what it is. what it is is the ability to put an idea out there for the american people and say if you would like me to do this, it's easy the presidential campaign because you're saying make the president then donate to my ca

so congratulations. >> there is an interview with sarah sanders tonight. she sat -- pledged to do her best as press secretary. we will show you that briefing now.

i don't think people really support bernie sanders. most of people who know bernie or try to work with him have been put off by his arrogance and unwillingness to work with people. jesse: why do you think he's so arrogant? >> he represents to people as someone who stands up and speaks truth to power and represents the lit portland man. jesse: you are saying bernie doesn't really represent the little man? >> i don't he does. he has wonderful rhetoric that would help the little man, but he hasn't enacted any of these plans. he hasn't given plans how he's going to do it. when i talked about caring for the homeless. it's not just saying the homeless ought to be cared for. i started five homeless shelters. jesse: it looks like you may be coming up in the polls. bernie may be feeling the bern. good luck. we asked bernie sanders to joins on "watters world" but we never heard back. president trump back in france this week celebrating bastille day in paris.

we're still waiting for an off-camera white house press briefing with sarah huckabee sanders. we'll bring you any news as we get it. plus, one trump ally describes the situation in the white house to my friends fill rucker and ashley parker at the "washington post" as a category 5 hurricane after news broke hf that meeting between donald trump junior and a kremlin linked lawyer. this as president trump tweeted stowed that the white house is functioning, quote, can perfectly. up next, we'll take a look at a timeline of events leading up to that meeting as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle continue to weigh? zbloop fundamentally americans are supposed to decide american elections, and the american people and anybody running for office knows that you don't take foreign campaign contributions either monetary or of another sort. so obviously there's lots of reasons to be concerned. noo introducing the easiest way to get gillette blades text "blades" to gillette on demand text to reorder blades with gillette on demand... ...and get $3 off your first order going somewhere? whoooo.

while sarah huckabee sanders was doing those.t seems he resigns just minutes after this announcement was made. brent: anthony scaramucci against the house of bannon. what do we know about this communications director anthony scaramucci and why he's such a big problem for sean spicer? correspondent: the cause of the strife within the whitehouse over anthony scaramucci we do not know. he is cut from the same cloth as donald trump. it seems that trump really admired him because a mere two weeks ago anthony scaramucci was the subject of a cnn article alleging he had close ties to agents close to the russian government. anthony scaramucci was a big fundraiser for trial during the campaign -- for trump during the campaign. these allegations of being close to russia were not good for anthony scaramucci. that story into being retracted and this three journalists retired. brent: our washington correspopondent on the story. thank you very much. now to be middle east, palestinian president mahmoud abbas says that the palestinian leadership

i was a sanders voter in the primaries. there were a lot of things of the democratic party -- there is a lot of things the democratic party will have to do if they want to win, and they are not doing that now, like picking kamala harris up in the hamptons as the chosen candidate. we need to work on our primaries, have fair primaries. our last primary was completely rigged, and you guys know that. you don't cover that, and you make sure to keep that out of the news. now i am in online groups with hundreds of thousands of sanders supporters, and you guys better listen to what -- this is basically their message -- we do not get our primaries together and allow the people to pick the candidate, instead of the candidates being picked in back rooms smoking cigars like they are arguing in the dnc lawsuit they have the right to do, then the democratic party will be destroyed. laid: i think the caller into something a lot of folks are concerned about right now, which is that our political system is broken and some way. when people s

combine both those things and you deliver the message with with passion and with vigor as bernie sanders does i think that that is what young people want so last year says nearly as many millennia old self identified as nonpartisan as those who self identified as democrats one of the implications of that i don't find that particularly surprising i mean more and more americans of any age don't want to identify as a republican or a democrat because they see both of those parties as absolute disasters especially young people some of whom are just sort of discovering politically who they are i had. i had my political values before college but i didn't identify with the party before college and it's gotten worse since then in terms of wanting to identify those parties so i'm not surprised i think that a lot of young people are looking for massive reform of the parties before they commit to one or they're looking at third parties. i don't think that that's that different than in the past but there's more and more reason to see it today and what are the chances of us actually accomplishing majo

better sanders fans have been pushing for.ne democratic tribesmen put jumping on board the idea same, absolutely he should run again. if you look at it on the perspective of anyone in the past, it becomes that close to the nomination, they almost needed him as a de facto nominee lesson. i don't think he should be anointed. we should not make the mistake of 2016 again, but he should run again. other potential candidates like elizabeth warren may not be so quick to step aside, and sanders who turn 79. he's going to turn 79. i'm not people who are cool about my father's age, and who is younger than bernie sanders but i don't care about his age, but we cannot pretend that would not be a factor to think he would run again. >> bernie: i think it might come up because they don't have anyone else really. elizabeth warren, forget about it. she turned a lot of people off and she campaigned for hillary. he will be 79 in september. he may need a rascal scooter. >> melissa: like that. he may need it. >> bernie: president of the united stat

it's not bernie sanders. i'll turn it over to john. john sparks. [ applause ] >> well, thank you very much, paul. i don't think this mike -- i think it's on. we are -- my two colleagues here, dr. moore and dr. schaaf nguyen, we're not going to vrun out our total vidas before you. that would be impressive, but we don't have time for that. we want to get right to the questions. i simply say john moore already mentioned, helped us improve our academics here when he was here as president. that was one of his main thrusts, and we are still benefiting from that, and alex is all over the world in helping to encourage liberty and faith and that goes well with our motto here at the center for vision and values in the college. faith and freedom matter, and so that sets the stage for our conversation here today. i simply -- i simply point out that when we're teaching students, and i think this is part of the problem that we face today with this younger generation and their attitude toward socialism and for that matter, communism and when we're te

>> we didn't hear a lot of tick-tock from sarah sanders. she refused to comment on conversations the president had with john kelly. we're told this is something john kelly had discussed over the weekend, getting rid of anthony scaramucci after that new yorker interview last week, but he didn't make the formal decision to ask him to step aside until after he was sworn in this morning. we saw scaramucci was in the oval office for his swearing in, as was most of the white house staff. i think it shows how much weight john kelly does have in this white house. last week after the feud between reince priebus and scaramucci became quite clear, sarah sanders defended it saying the president liked healthy competition between his staff, and then today she said the president thought skacaramucci' comments were inappropriate. the two don't go together. it seems john kelly really has a lot of weight in this which changed the president's mind. >> gloria, what are your sources telling you about how this decision was made presumably by john kelly, the reti
