or if scaramucci stays. if scaramucci would have stayed, it would have been business as usual. that would have been warning signs for all of us watching this unfold. kelly has shown he's the leader. he's in charge. and now we're really hoping and praying that some order and clarity is going to go forward. but for that to go forward, president trump also has to allow general kelly to lead and needs to listen to general kelly. there needs to be clarity of vision and we're all hoping and praying for the best in this country but there needs to be some clarity now. >> this does come down to this, right? and when you -- anthony scaramucci ten days as communications director. six f-bombs in one press briefing and yet he clearly had the full confidence of the president of the united states. clearly. let me play the president talking about anthony scaramucci so people don't have to trust my word for it. >> how was your press conference? good? you did a good job? >> very good. he's a terrific guy. >> if scaramucci spe

scaramucci from other jobs. he had, you know, hope he would not work inside the west wing here and he was not pleased about this at all, but i am also told that jared kushner and ivanka trump, two very important people in this white house, obviously, are supportive of this decision. largely because they believe that anthony scaramucci has one person whose interests are above all and that's the president. no one that questions his loyalty that he does not come into the white house with an agenda but as a fighter. one of the reasons they supported this and i'm told that this on-camera briefing inside the white house briefing room we're looking at now will be conducted by the deputy press secretary sarah huckabee sanders. an open question if she'll have an introduction to make of the new communications director but she, i'm told, will lead the briefing. the first on-camera tell evised briefing in some time. >> interesting questions about sarah huckabee sanders own future. questions about skcaramucci and we'll see w

look at scaramucci's comments. study them from the time he almost got that one job, the liaison to the business community, what he said? davos, what he said on twitter, what he said to new york magazine, what his pluck comments which sometimes were pretty out there. look at that -- neil: but here's what i'm saying, and i normally defer to you on all this palace intrigue. i do know enough owing to my age -- i'm an old fart here, you know -- [laughter] that it's not just one. others follow. >> yeah. neil: is it your sense looking at this, and i'm sure you've seen it in all walks of business, that others could follow, that this could be the start of the significant cleaning house? >> well, i think you have to remember that that when the initial white house was being formed, it was sort of an amalgam of trump, former trump campaign staffers -- neil: right. >> -- and rnc officials and other campaign officials. neil: bingo. you just hit on what i wouldn't want to reveal, this idea that out with the rnc types, in with the

ska scaramucci would not be here. the next day the guy he's battling with, reince priebus, is on the cutting block. last week it was sean spicer. who will it be next week? a lot of people are looking at i with concern. also seeing reality show daily. and president trump, he has his back ground in reality tv and he is playing this out as a reality tv show. tweeting this out this afternoon that john kelly is now his new chief of staff. it is one of these things. bring your popcorn and see what will happen next week. >> it feels like it isn't over yet. >> i think there's a lot of tension here. you see the chaos that some have described it or at least new leadership in anthony scaramucci and the broad sides that he delivered. then to take out reince priebus as the president has done. those who have been in the priebus wing within a white house that has included a lot of outsiders. there are clearly people who are banks their jobs. expect to be the next one out or feel it is appropriate to step aside because they were a pa

what does scaramucci thinks donald trump stands for that scaramucci believes in anyway? >> arguably one of the true believers for donald trump is jeff sessions, who is actually executing policy on the president. >> exactly. and left the country today to fly to el salvador, maybe get distance from this chaos. that's the real frustration among true believing conservatives in the administration. they understand that this white house has a considerable amount of dysfunction, and they also understand that sessions is one of the few people capable of carrying out some of trump's policies. in fact, was doing so, we see immigration arrests up, and all the things that trump talks about at his rallies, sessions has been working to carry out. yet that's not what we're talking about on tv, that's not what trump is thinking about. and the story to go to jeff's point, scaramucci is out there trying to glorify trump, but making the story all about him. i think that's problematic for everyone in the white house. >> yeah, i think to peter's point about policies, for the people who call t

, i'm going with scaramucci.n addition, the relationship, i know john roberts talked about this, between previous and spicer was really close. reince priebus was -- sean spicer was his spokesperso spokesperson. that was his man at the podium and for the president to basically say, i want my director and if that means spicer's leaving, that's a real statement. and certainly, it weakens the position inside the white house. i will say, spicer, it may be merciful for him to leave this white house. he really has suffered a lot of indignities, it's been no secret that the president has been unhappy with spicer and his briefings. as time went on, you saw spicer, the briefings went off camera, then spicer did fewer and fewer of the off-camera briefings, audio only and sarah huckabee sanders did more and more, plus a whole melissa mccarthy spoofs on "snl," they say people don't get paid enough, i wonder if spicer might feel like he stopped hitting his head against a wall when he leaves the white house. >> steve: it's stev

there was a little bit of that by scaramucci today. maybe trump's the kind of guy who just believes you never stand so tall as when you stoop to kiss his ring. >> matthew whittaker. >> i disagree with paul. but along this line, i see a president that is sensing that things aren't working and i think paul would agree with me on that. six months in, and he's making some decisions. he's bringing in ty cobb and scaramucci, changing up his legal team on the outside and i think what is happening is you're seeing donald trump the leader and the person that has been successful in business that is taking charge and trying to optimize his organization. now, i will -- i think everybody admits it hasn't been working for the first six months at an optimal level and maybe some of these changes will improve things. >> so, matthew, here's my question because, you know, one of the big issues, this cloud hanging over the white house for months is this whole russia investigations but the thing is that the president keeps talking about it. we've all read

and scaramucci didn't. scaramucci talks like what he was, which is a guy from new york, who comes from the street, he has made a ton of money, and has confidence in himself and his ability to express his point of view. i thought it was a really effective performance. >> harris: you know what is interesting about what you're saying, it is what i called the translation of the people at the lectern, people try to translate for the president, and today we just got his words the way that he normally speaks on through a friend who has speak in the for him for a very long time. anthony scaramucci, nicknamed the mooch, his dad worked in construction, we saw a lot of love during the news conference, and i am not joking about that. anthony scaramucci set i love the president. multiple times. and then he said the president loves that sarah, he thinks he is a phenomenal job, i agree with him. so now you've got consensus even around the players. it will be interesting to see, it is not so going to be perfect right off t

scaramucci: ok, well listen. i'm a business person, and so what happens in business a lot of the times is you have some rotation in personnel. as you're making changes, and you have lifestyle choices that people are also making. i would love to have sean here. decided that he thought it would be better that the go. -- he go. and for me, as it relates to sean it speaks volumes to who he is as a human being and a team player. his attitude is if anthony is coming in, let me clear the slate for anthony. i do appreciate that about sean and i love him for it, but i don't have any friction with sean, i don't have any friction with reince. this is the white house of the united states of america. we're serving the president. and i want to make sure our cultural template is that we put the president's agenda first, which is perfect for the american people. and we serve his interest. so if we have a little friction inside the white house as a result of that, it's ok. we can live with that. i'm a business person, and i'm use

scaramucci the job at 10:00 a.m. and as we all know, before we even made it back here to this at around noon, we got word that sean spicer had resigned. what do you make of all this? >> sean spicer was in an impossible job. as chris wallace mentioned, from the very first day of the administration, this is a guy who had been very affable, he was sent out to be the presiden president's attack on the press from the very first day. the briefings got really contentious and while that made a good television, and also made it sean spicer himself and increasingly controversial figure. not just object of mockery on "saturday night live" but with reporters. >> heather: i wonder what melissa mccarthy thinks of all of this. i'm sure she is bummed out. chris wallace was talking about how the public or the media obviously enjoy these press briefings. people tuned in, they got great ratings. at the same time there were moments that we've heard about where president trump would it be texting questions and texting responses as sean s

scaramucci went first. difference between what we've seen on the podium so far in this administration and him was very different. granted it's day one and most people have good outings on day one and then it gets harder. this man thinks he's the president's best spokesman and we'll see how scaramucci deals with this challenge. >> maggie, i think it seems odd to most people that of all the things sean spicer has had to do from that podium, starting on his first day when he went out there and told this bizarre and clearly not true story about whether obama and trump had larger crowds for the inaugural that this would be the final straw for him, that this would be a bridge too far, the idea that he will not report to scaramucci as opposed to all the other things he did defending the false and indecent. >> yes, scaramucci has a red line and makes it very clear it's not about the substance and just about sean spicer's view of his standing. also, as you remember, when mike dupke was the president's first communic

scaramucci feld he had been blocked. and we don't know if he'll have another post in this administration. >> that's why this statement we just received is careful. anthony scaramucci will be leaving his role. mr. scaramucci felt it was best to give chief of staff john kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team. we wish him all the best. >> it doesn't rule out a job elsewhere. remember he had been at the export/import bank at a brand-new roll. this was such a huge moment, as gloria was saying. he had wanted this for months. he had sold his firm in preparation for this, and to lose it all. he says this is the same language that shawn spider said. >> turn the page, no white house chaos, but look at the banner on the screen, it says this is chaos, and it does this is ultimately about the president and who he decides to hire, but scaramucci, that is a big, big addition to the team 11 days ago. just do it, get it done. >> and jeff zeleny was saying this feels like more than a reset. do we think that will will be

scaramucci out.resident trump's controversial new communications director anthony scaramucci resigns after just 10 days on the job. we're learning new details of why he was asked to leave. the president's new chief of staff john kelly was so disgusted about how the president fired james comey that he called comey and told him he was considering resigning. >>> the

start scaramucci -- mr. scaramucci: i take issue with that. i think we are on track. i do think we have meshing perspectives. i did not want to do a whole advertising infomercial now. i think we are doing an amazing job. the president himself is always going to be the president. we were in the oval office earlier today and we were talking about letting him be himself letting him express his identity. he has some of the best political instincts in the world, in history. he started his political ascent two years and two months ago, and he has done a phenomenal job for the american people. people i grow up with, they so identify with the president and they love him and we will get that message out. reporter: second question -- mr. scaramucci: i will speak to everybody, don't worry. reporter: with your business background, how do you plan to handle your conflicts of interest, and one of the conversations like? , i don'tmucci: well think it is fair to the president to go into the exact conversations because i want to keep those between me and him private but we talked abou

scaramucci hit the ground running.took to the podium to announce sanders' promotion and make clear right away how he feels about the man he now serves. >> i think there's been at times a disconnect between the way we see the president and how much we love the president. and the way some of you perhaps see the president. i think we're doing an amazing job. i was in the oval office with him earlier today and we were talking about him being himself, letting him express his full identity. i think he has the best political i

scaramucci is right about that. reince priebus did try to block him from working in the white house. the paranoid scaramucci, who knows nothing about government, said that the leaking of his financial disclosure documents with the government was a felony that he called the fbi to investigate. those documents were not leaked. they were public information and nothing about obtaining those documents could ever be illegal. scaramucci told ryan lizza, what i want to do is, i want to effing kill all the leakers, and i want to get the president's agenda on track so we can succeed for the american people. like president trump, he occasionally speaks of himself in the third person, and in this instance used his nickname, the mooch. okay. the mooch showed up a week ago. this is going to get cleaned up very shortly, okay, because i nailed these guys. i've got digital fingerprints on everything they've done through the fbi and the effing department of justice. they're going to get prosecuted probably for the felony. because ant

you said that scaramucci felt so front.e saying this was his decision. was it? the president felt it was inappropriate, anthony and general kelly came to a mutual agreement and we are focusing on the jobs outside this building. just to clarify because i want to make sure i understand the word he's here, he didn't want to burden general kelly with that line of succession. the president. so it was the president deciding... we all serve at the pleasure of the president but this was a mutually agreed conversation. on russia sanctions, did you know whether the president intends to sign the russia sanctions bill and why hasn't the president taken the opportunities he has had today to say something in response to vladimir putin's retaliation with that 755. we put out a statement stating the president's intent to sign and we will let you know when thatis sign and we will let you know when that is going to take place. in terms of your second question, the follow—up? terms of your second question, the follow-up? why hasn't he taken t

i guess you could say scaramucci won, but did he? i think he wanted to be chief of staff ultimately. >> he did. >> priebus lost but scaramucci survived. how about that. >> chuck, stay with me. panel, stay with me. i want to bring in kristen welker to talk for a moment about what we're hearing at the white house. >> reporter: i think this moment of discord and division here and there's a hope this is going to be a reset to some extent in talking to officials here behind the scenes. there's been a sense for some time that reince priebus was on his way out. the president was not satisfied with not only his fighting sense this week but his leadership abilities more broadly. particularly when it comes to some of the president's legislative goals like health care. that health care defeat last night, i'm told was really the death nail for reince priebus, but, i think there's still a lot of concern here about what happens next to the points chuck was making. who will effectively be answering to the chief of staff? will anthony scaramucci be

scaramucci. now, anthony scaramucci is a very smart guy. harvard law school, trained, made a lot of money on wall street, charismatic on television. but i think sean believes, and he's a friend of mine, so discount for lie of the green, this job requires a great deal more knowledge of how washington, d.c., operates than mr. scaramucci has. so we'll see. but i do believe -- very much reject what dana milbank had to say. >> big surprise there. >> yeah, big shocker. >> you think he'll be on a cable channel in a week? >> yeah, i do. not only has he done a very good job -- a fine job at the rnc, but he knows everyone in washington, d.c., and has the most important thing, which is a score card and phone numbers next to it. and the president will talk to him. the chief of staff will talk to him. the special assistants to the president will talk to him. the cabinet members will talk to him. so as a reporter, i think he's going to be fine. and i do believe -- he just did not want to be number two to an individual who may find the job is more challen

howie: anthony scaramucci's crude tirade to the "new yorker," scaramucci believed was an implicit understandinghe way he was talking that it was off the record. he later tweeted, i made a mistake trusting a report and it won't happen again. francescaagain.the way i operate as a reporter, if someone calls me and they are not familiar with on the record, off the record, i give people the benefit of the doubt they are talking personally one-on-one. but what makes it different is this is the communications director. he's talking to the media for years, even had his own tv program. he knows how the media works. when you call up and you have something to say you don't want on the record, you have got to make that clear. howie: i have gone the dozen of calls over the years from politicians and operatives that ranted and raved and i'll jump in and say are we talking here, are you on the record here. otherwise it feels like a gotcha. if they are trusting me to unload and not carefully weigh every word. it's a judgment call. shannon: i would imagine there is a lot of discussion and debate in this about t

scaramucci has for the president. watch a bit of this news conference yesterday. >> the president's a winner, okay? what and we're going to do, we're going to do a lot of winning. i love the mission that the president has. i love the president. i obviously love the country. he's genuinely a wonderful human being. i love the president and i'm very, very loyal to the president. i love these guys, i respect these guys. i love the president. i love the president. the president is phenomenal with the press. the president is always going to be the president. i think he's got some of the best political instincts in the world and perhaps in history. he's done a phenomenal job for the american people. he's the most competitive person i've ever met. i've seen him at madison square garden with a topcoat on, he's standing in the key and hitting foul shots and swishing them, okay? he sinks three-foot putts. >> you know, i would expect a new addition to the team to have some deference for the president, but that's '90s r&b love. is

scaramucci: i don't know. i have an enormous amount of respect for press secretary speakes, but when he was standing at this podium, it was a very different world. ach one of us right now has sound studio, recording studio, movie studio right in the palm of our hands, so we can say things and it will be read certain ways. sarah and i will work on reaching as many people as we possibly can for today's era. accurate in the 1980's, but sarah and i will think of something cute to say once we start working -- [indiscernible] reporter: is it possible for the communications team -- how do you make sure that you are on the same page as this president? what have you said to him about the need to know what he is thinking and where he stands as it relates to policy? mr. scaramucci: i'm not going to speak on behalf of the president. i have a close relationship with him, sarah has a close relationship with him. it is important to have him express his personality. let's see where the chips fall. if something happens, you ca

, scaramucci himself was not in washington i believe, but people that supported scaramucci and on poz -- and opposed priebus will be celebrating priebus' demise at the trump hotel bar. that's how ugly and messy this has gotten. >> maybe kelly can fix that. that's something that shouldn't be tolerated if you're a chief of staff. david, you can talk about this more. remember, it wasn't long ago when the president said to jared kushner and steve bannon, boys, work it out. they were feuding publicly. and he told them to work it out. that is what a chief of staff needles to be doing in this white house. >> we've got to take a break. up next, what we know about the new white house chief of staff, retired marine corps general john kelly. the question tonight, can he unite the west wing and stop the drama? somewhere along the great journey of self-discovery: a breakthrough. ♪ it's in our nature to need each other. ♪ when heartburn hits fight back fast with new tums chewy bites. fast relief in every bite. crunchy outside. chewy inside. tum tum tum tum new tums chewy bites. when you're close to

scaramucci, he's there because this is also a big rolling reality show the drama, scaramucci is great on tv and this is you know a televised presidency, almost every second of it. so they're both there for different reasons and i think you know the question is donald trump has to decide what winning is, is it winning in the ratings or accomplishing things? he'd like to be able to do both t. question is which one survives longer, how did they get along? scaramucci the word is he will still be reporting to the president directly and then you have kelly coming in, he has free reign to run the west wing, shut down the revolving door of walk-in privileges in the oval office, but if scaramucci doesn't think he has to report to kelly, there's going to be some tension there, these two sort of you know number twos in the white house, it's financial to be very interesting to see how that plays out. >> how did that play out if you are on the staff, you have two guys reporting to the president. you would think he would report to the chief of staff. he doesn't. they each have power centers. that's

"the fox news specialists"" some very big news out of the white house, anthony scaramucci scaramucci -- sarah huckabee sanders addressed it at the white house briefing a short time ago. >> was scaramucci fired by the president or asked to resign? >> i'm not going to get into anything beyond what i've already said. >> eric: scaramucci held the title for ten days. white house put out a statement saying they wished "scaramucci all the best." we are joined by john roberts. what's the latest? >> we did plumb the depths a little bit, a more aggressive trying than it normally does to get something out of sarah huckabee sanders. but we did. looks like the reasons for scaramucci's departure were twofold. he was outside the chain of command the way john kelly saud. he had a direct line to the president and he had made it very clear when he is hired by the president a week ago last friday that one of the things he'd asked for and received in the job was to not report to the chief of staff but directly to the president. john kelly said if i'm going to be the chief of staff, everybody reports to

anthony scaramucci, can you join us? >> yes. when i was speaking to you last night ryan, i said it was unpatriotic that you would president tell me who the leakers were. i was on a plane from new york going to visit my mom. i was teasing you. it was one italian to another, wasn't me trying to get you to say, if you could give me some sense of where they are, because i have a responsibility to the president of the united states -- >> anthony -- >> when you said you didn't, i totally respect your integrity and journalism. >> anthony, i don't know if ryan can hear you. but just in case, it did go out over the air. he heard what you meant when you were talking about him being unpatriotic. let's reset us at zero here. >> i want to reset at zero, but i also want you to know i spent about 15 minutes on the phone talking with the president of the united states who has given me his full support and his full blessing, and i'm going to read you something, chris. bear with me. the president also told me, if you're nice to me in this segment

anthony scaramucci out as the communications director. the way it went down, the way john kelly came in, he wanted his own chain of command and team in place. sources tell fox news that scaramucci said, i understand, if he wants to bring in his new team. sean spicer said a little more than a week ago he understands the president wants to bring in scaramucci as the communications director. so scaramucci requested to go back to his position at the export import bank, which apparently sources say the president aseeded to those witches. what we don't know, will scaramucci still be in line for the ambassadorship to the organization for economic cooperation and development. looked like he was going to paris. now what happens to sean spicer? spicer said to me as early as this morning that he was going to wind down his tenure here at the white house in coordination with the closing of the west wing for a couple weeks for renovations. officially the end date was supposed to be august 15th. looked like he was going to push that up a little bit. now

"the fox news specialists"" some very big news out of the white house, anthony scaramucci scaramucci sanders addressed it at the white house briefing a short time ago. >> was scaramucci fired by the president or asked to resign? >> i'm not going to get into anything beyond what i've already said. >> eric: scaramucci held the title for ten days. white house put out a statement saying

scaramucci seemed very relaxed. he was calm.ound a little bit, made some self-deprecating cracks. at the same time, he did push back against the press corps here suggesting that we have not given the president a fair coverage, but he did so with a far more ease and charm and even blew a kiss when he walked off the podium at the end of it. >> yes, he did. i've seen the gif. kaitlan, to you. he was asked about the relationship with steve bannon. he says he's looking forward to working with him but from reporting i've seen, no love lost between these two and even including reince priebus, looking at previous sara murray reporting that he was up for previous appointments that were quashed by the chief of staff. can you just tell us about the inner workings of the west wing involving scaramucci? >> absolutely. and a lot of that was what led to sean spicer's resignation today. last night, we found out that sean spicer, steve bannon, and reince priebus were largely kept in the dark as the trump administration narrowed down and decided

this is the first big sign that that of course includes anthony scaramucci.a lingers question. now it doesn't matter, because he is out. this is certainty a big moment. i would call this more than a reset. this is something that a -- a sign that people who have the president's ear are telling him this was not a good thing to have an think scaramucci as a communications director. this is a moment we do not yet know if it was john kelly's doing, but we do know the president was dissatisfied and unhappy with anthony scaramucci. we heard that earlier today. as we get more, we'll bring it to you, but keep an eye out for the statement -- >> at the white house was supposed to be having an on-camera briefing in about an hour. we'll stay tuned to see if that happens. pam brown is our justice correspondent, who has some news. >> i do. i'm told by a person familiar with the situation that anthony scaramucci went to the now chief of staff john kelly offered to resign, and john kellry accepted, and the reason is he wanted to allow john kelly to create his own team. that's

scaramucci was ridiculous.he communications directors are not supposed to be the story, and he thought he was basically a mini me donald trump. and he needed to go because it was embarrassing what took place last week. and you would hope, again, for the country. it does not matter if you are republican or democrat, liberal or conservative. you are to respect the presidency. i would hope the president will learn from a general kelly as to how he should may have as president of the united states. >> aaron blake, what are your thoughts on how this has all developed tht last hour or so. >> well, i think it's going to be really at the present timing for people to label this as some kind of a pivot, the fact that john kelly as kind of asserted him as more of a disciplinarian, now seems to have gotten rid of a particularly kind of loose gun character in the white house. i think it's worth keeping this all in the context of what happened last week and the week before. there were seven days before when president trump h

( laughter ) ( applause ) it's, like, throwing a football at a tire isn't impressive. it's something they literally show impotent men doing in lavitra commercials. >> sometimes you need a little help staying in the game. ask your doctor about new levitra. ( applause ) >> trevor: you see, the football is a metaphor for his penis. ( laughter ) bouncing off the vagina. so, anthony

anthony scaramucci is coming in. this has been long rumored that this shake up may have in fact happened. it clearly came to a head over the last 18 hours in a remarkable way. given that for six months and one day sean spicer has stood at the podium. sometimes on camera, sometimes off camera. sometimes he's stood else where and defended the president. defended the president's comments on the russia investigation. it's this, anthony scaram kruuc coming in that seems to have been the last straw. i'm hearing noise here. i'm checking in on that. at this point, we do expect, obviously, scaramucci to take on a bigger role. i've heard in the last 45 minutes or so people praising scaramucci for being a fighter. so that is in the words of some sources on them, guys i'm going to toss it back to you for a second. i see movement behind the door. i want to check on what's going on and i'll hop back on the phone as soon as i possibly can. >> hallie jackson, right in the middle of the throng. we can see the cameramen are all ready

scaramucci accepted. we're told that after that, that is when sean spicer decided to tender his resignation essentially in protest. he was opposed to offering scaramucci this job. and point out the fact scaramucci doesn't necessarily have a lot of experience when it comes to the communication strategy side of things. we've seen him a lot on television defending the president but not in this strategic role. a bridge too far for sean spicer who decided to tender his resignation. we're told when reince priebus introduced him, the new communications director, that gracious while the introductions were made and while they see essentially handed off the yo h oversight of the press shop to anthony scaramucci. interesting moment not just what will happen to the communication shop but what it means for all the other relationships in the west wing. the fact president trump decided to tap anthony scaramucci, someone his kids were happy to see on the job. jared kushner, ivanka trump, pro him taking over. steve bannon

scaramucci hit the ground running. he took to the podium to announce sanders' promotion and make clear right away how he feels about the man he now serves. >> i think there's been at times a disconnect between the way we see the president and how much we love the president. and the way some of you perhaps see the president. i think we're doing an amazing job. i was in the oval office with him earlier today and we were talking about him being himself, letting him express his full identity. i think he has the best political instincts in the world. the people i grew up with they love him. so we'll get that message out. i love the president. i obviously love the country and sean decided he thought it would be better to go. his attitude is anthony is coming in, let me clear the slate for anthony and i appreciate that about sean and i love him for it. i love the president. i'm very, very loyal to the president. and i love the mission that the president has. >> if there's one thing we know about this president, he loves to be

this is scaramucci. he didn't get the hint that i was reporting directly to the president, because normally a communications director at the white house reports to the white house chief of staff. >> exactly. so scaramucci was basically telegraphing in that interview that reince is out. he didn't get the hint and now we have to do it the hard way. i know people close to reince said he resigned, but scaramucci on the record saying he's going to be gone soon. how could these two guys work together? i found it incredible the two were going to remain. >> i also heard last night that reince was looking for an elegant way to leave, he was looking for a place to jump to. but that didn't appear, and i think at this point, particularly with pruthe pressu from scaramucci on behalf of the president of the united states, that reince had no choice. >> some of reince's allies yesterday were saying, maybe the scaramucci interview gives him a little extra. this is trump saying i like what scaramucci did. >> we're seeing

anthony scaramucci is no shrinking violet. he will go and offer his opinions to the president. sometimes he's going to -- sometimes the president will agree with him. sometimes he won't. but anthony knows who's the president of the united states and who he works for and going back to the commentary about scaramucci just going out on the good days. look, i worked with anthony day in and day out on the campaign just like i did with sean and we had a lot of tough days on our campaign, our winning campaign, i would remind folks and both of those men went out and fought hard every single time. neither one of them shied away from the tough days or the brutal news cycles that we had and anthony's not going to shy away. look, anthony very much, we've seen this from watching cnn, where he sits down and will have very substantive, in depth, policy-oriented conversations with hosts on this network where he can actually sit down and dive into those things and really have a unique way of communicating the president's message, and look, he'

scaramucci is in as the white house communications director. lou dobbs picks up our coverage next on fox business. [♪] lou: good evening, the hostile, sometimes hateful white house press corps may have finally gotten the communications director they deserve. white house press secretary sean spicer resigning after wall street financier anthony scaramucci was named white house communications director. sarah huckabee sanders taking on the role of white house press secretary. the shocking shakeup coming after spicer gave the president an ultimatum saying it's scaramucci or him. steve bannon said scaramucci would only get the job over their dead bodies. as for scaramucci himself, he seemed to be more interested in sarah sanders job. scaramucci seemingly reluctant to let go of the microphones and cameras at one point. john roberts with our report. >> it's been no secret the president has been looking to shake up his communications team. but what happened today was more like an earthquake. the speed and tumult that marked this transition was a surpris

ryan lizza of the new yorker got a call from scaramucci and scaramucci used language so barnyard we can't repeat some of it. here is some of what we can show you and tell you about. scaramucci says quote reince is an exploitive par noik that was a new one for me. he'd what i want to do is i want to expletive kill all the leakers appear. and i want to get the president's agenda on track so we can succeed for the american people. then he switched to referring to himself in the third person quote. the swamp will not defeat him. they're trying to resist me but it's not going to work. . i've done nothing wrong on financial disclosures. they're going to have to go expletive themselves. what we can't repeat is what he said about steve bannon which is if true would make bannon a gymnast. as the damage piled up scaramucci said this late today on twitter. quote i sometimes use colorful language. i will refrain in in arena but not give up the passion knit fight for donald trump's agenda gd. he later added quote i made a mistake in a trusting in a reporter. it won't happen den for the record the repo

harring, and last week scaramucci's harring, and last week scaramucci went on my parade against reinceus, saying he was a schizophrenic among other obscene references. reince priebus was pushed out on friday afternoon so now it is monday and scaramucci himself is out. there has been considerable turnover in the white house. what is behind this kiosk? it seems like president trump is hiring people who have different opinions and are not getting on and are quitting were being fired. that was one thing remarkable about this white house, if the word differing factions within the white house, people who had different agendas and different ideas of the white house to go, but now you are seeing those factionalised asians playing itself out, some people are getting the upper hand and some people are being forced to resign. if this is at his request, he could be trying to assert control over a white toast that has been riven by infighting and lakes. is it also a president who wants to be surrounded by people who wants to be surrounded by people who say yes? it seems he has little patience with

scaramucci didn't know that. he saw the information in "politico" and he immediately jumped to the conclusion that it was reince priebus and went so far as to believe this was illegal. he said to me, i called the fbi and the department of justice. and i was flabbergasted by this and said, are you serious? he went on, the swamp will not defeat him. he said this sort of breaking into the third person talking about himself. they're trying to resist me, but it is not going to work. i have done nothing wrong on my financial disclosures so they're going to have to go f-themselves. he said he called the fbi and department of justice. within minutes he tweeted that famous tweet last night or infamous tweet to the same effect, that he was contacting the department of justice. >> and then there is another line i want you to read as well. he spoke about digital fingerprints. he was really going after reince priebus and steve bannon, two powerful guys. >> this one is a little cryptic, but it shows the effort that he apparent

scaramucci is a self-made man. he's a successful businessman. he can talk to the president with some ballast from that experience, and that might get the president to perform in a way that the collective group at the white house, that the team wants him to kind of stay on message, stay in the strategy. on the other hand, the more people who can just walk into the oval office and talk to the president, the more that a president can shop for views that he likes, that can undermine the rest of the operation and in a place where everybody can go see the president, they sometimes worry about people doing things behind their back. >> mason: john dickerson, thanks. and john's guest on "face the nation" this sunday include congressman adam schiff, the top democrat on the house intelligence committee, and republican senator susan collins of maine. in the middle east, at least six people were killed today in clashes between palestinians and israelis. anger boiled over when the israeli government tightened security at one of jerusalem's holiest sites. jona

now scaramucci is out.ression that i got is that spicer is not going to somehow change his mind and stay on. now that scaramucci is out. and then, will the cameras stay on? it was big tweet from scaramucci that he said the cameras are back, and they've been back since in the last ten days. will they stay back? of course, we would like that, here on fox5, for television helps us tell our story, but, you know, lot of uncertainty as always. >> yes. >> back to you. >> you never know, ronica. you're right. scaramucci gave, i would say, the first press conference was pretty engaging out there, and then had couple of rough interviews after. that will we'll see what happens. thank you. >> meanwhile, miles away from the white house, there are big changes in store for prince georges county. we will states attorney angela alsobrooks, running for county executive when 5@6:30 comes back. i need the phone that's where i happen to be... to be the one that rings. i need not to be missed phone calls... to not be missed. i n
