-- that scaramucci did last week? president did not want to bart -- scaramucci did not want to burden scaramucci with the line of succession. as we made clear a few times, over the lot -- the last few days, general kelly has full authority to operate within the -- allouse and all-star staff will report to him. [indiscernible] >> would you please clarify one point about the chain of command. we have heard that he said he looked forward to following general kelly's lead. will that conduit be narrowed , will everything flow through kelly or will some things flow another way? >> general kelly will make those determinations. >> there was a statement that was released by the white house that said -- mr. scaramucci felt that he should give chief of staff john kelly a clean slate. but you just said the president has itself made -- that the comments were inappropriate. >> i don't think those things are mutually exclusive. general kelly to build his own team and operate with a full clean slate. the same time, the president thou

scaramucci's departure during monday's white house briefing. >> does anthony scaramucci have a role besides communications director? >> he does not have a role besides communications director. we put out a statement earlier announcing that. not at this time. >> did general kelly asked him to leave for the president? did he volunteer his resignation? how did that come about? >> i'm not going to get into the process. as we have said several times before, what matters most as is not who is employed in the white house but who is employed in the rest of the country. we are focused on the president's agenda of growing the economy, creating jobs, and that is what we are going to do. >> was it a chain of command issue? said that hemucci had a direct line of communication to the president. there has been some speculation that general kelly may try to tighten up input the president has. was it something about the chain of command or have anything to do with the interview scaramucci left? >> the president certainly felt that anthony's comments were inappropriate for a person in that position, and he d

at the end of the day, if donald trump thought anthony scaramucci was goidoing good for his image scaramucci would still be there. scaramucci lost the confidence of the president. >> the whole thing about donald trump during the lek00 is elect liars the best people and he's a great manager. is any of that believable? clearly to his base, i guess it is. but do the events of the last six months with all the people that have come and gone -- >> anderson, i just think that these chaos stories, and we've talked about this before. there's all these stories about everybody from obama back to reagan, about how their -- >> do you know any administration which the attorney general has been ridiculed and mocked by the president and criticized by the president, not fired but still at the same time shawn spicer is gone, sally yates is gone, general flynn is gone, scaramucci is gone. >> i mean, every president is different. donald trump is donald trump. this is why people put him there in the first place. >> people put him there to be a great manager and hire great people. >> yesterday i had a conversatio

scaramucci coming in 10 days ago.mer press secretary sean spicer resigned in protest to scaramucci being brought in. scaramucci then brought down before chief of staff reince priebus. in his place, john kelly was brought in. john kelly then requested that scaramucci be fired and here we are today. gerhart: scaramucci was named to this job only 10 days ago. what a shambles. what does this departure say about donald trump's white house? maya: it certainly does not help the allegations of chaos that has been plaguing this white house since day one. we saw a very short departure of michael flynn at the beginning of his administration due to alleged entanglements with russia. it certainly doesn't help a white house that wants to do business. the white house and their communications people constantly complain immediate is not covering what they are actually doing in terms of policies or legislation or any bills they are putting forward because the media is focusing too much on these -- these opposing chaos happening, but th

scaramucci wanted reince priebus out. bannon wanted scaramucci out. kelly comes in and pushes him out. so i think one of the things that's not being noted today as much is steve bannon right now is in a very interesting position where he has sort of gotten what he wanted, sort of the survivor at the top of that cast of characters in the west wing. >> and let's turn to our resident expert on bannonology, joshua green. it is remarkable that steve bannon -- i mean scaramucci came in very clearly gunning for priebus and gunning for bannon. >> exactly. >> priebus is gone. bannon is still standing, scaramucci gone. he is a a much more effective infighter than scaramucci anticipated. >> i think that's right. i think in this case he didn't actually have to do a whole lot besides hold his tongue and keep quiet. i don't know any reporters that managed to get bannon on the phone. he is smart enough to step back, recognize that scaramucci is blowing himself up and setting a land speed record for political self- self-emmollation. >> the white house itself could le

>>> anthony scaramucci is out. the president called it a great day, is there another white house we don't know about. healthcare reform is a bust and honoring a real life hero at the white house. let me put this down first of let's go. monday, man what a busy day. there's a new report out from the "washington post" that makes things look worse for the trump administration at least when it comes to donald trump junior meeting with a russian lawyer from during the campaign, the reports that the president dictated his misleading statement about the meeting, this allegedly happened the president was flying home from the g 20 summit. he personally dictated in which his said son said he and the russian lawyer discussed a program about dominating russian children, he accepted the meeting after being promised damaging information on hillary clinton. part of a government effort to help his father's campaign. the president's advisors are worried he's increasing acting as his own strategist, publicist and lawyer and the white

he was -- he resigned under scaramucci, but now with scaramucci gone, is he actually going to be leaving? the president says there's been no chaos in this white house, but take a look at the revolving door, just since he's been in office, how quickly some of his top advisers like mike flynn, jim comey, reince priebus, the chief of staff and now scaramucci have gone in and now out of this white house. frances? >> wow, thank you so much. tracy potts for us in washington, d.c. >>> breaking news is bringing more legal scrutiny on the white house this morning, after "the washington post" reported that it was the president who dictated his son's misleading first statement on that controversial meeting with a russian lawer in 2016. keeping track of us nbc's ron allen. >> reporter: what's most important about this story is that it raises the question whether president trump himself tried to mislead the public and investigators about that meeting and whether the president is involved in a coverup. the meeting happened during the height of the campaign. several russians with times to the kremlin.

lasted longer than scaramucci at >> greg: do you know who lasted longer than scaramucci at the white house? anyone who has ever taken a tour. i don't want to hammer him too hard, i don't want to make it awkward in the men's room. but i don't think it's about restoring order at all. it's about establishing order. we haven't had any order, and maybe you can agree with me, because that's what i'd like you to do, i think this is a good thing. the reason i think it is a good thing is because all of these reporters, jesse included, are sad to see him go for purely the entertainment value. that he will always be giving these gasps. he is an endless fountain of craziness. it is a good thing to deprive the media of this opportunity for gasps.s. it is an establishing of order. >> if you strip away all of the other media gibberish about this and that, and what's going on, some of what the president is tweeting about is absolutely true. the stock market keeps reaching record levels. general kelly at the department of homeland security has been cracking down on illegal immigration. there is a sha

what is it trump felt qualified scaramucci for the job? >> i love the president. love the president. i'm very, very loyal to the president. he's the most competitive person i've ever met. i've seen this guy throw a dead spiral through the tire. i love the guy. seen him at madison square garden with a top coat, standing in the key, sinking foul shots. he sinks three-hole puts. >> trevor: did you notice they were all solitaire and sad -- practicing foul shots in his coat, three-foot putt, throwing a football through a tire by himself? he doesn't have friends? why didn't he use his kids? eric, i need you. i want to throw a football in the backyard. oh, wow, dad! i'd love to! go get me a tire! ( 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

president trump's communication director anthony scaramucci is out. less than two weeks after being hired for the job. this is a retired general john kelly took command as the new white house chief of staff. press secretary sarah sanders explained why the change was made. >> the president felt that anthony's comments were inappropriate for a person in that position, and he didn't want to burden general kelly also with that line of succession. >> jesse: take a look at how the broadcast news networks covered scaramucci's firing tonight. speak out the staff bloodletting at the white house claimed anthony scaramucci today, ousted today after a stormy six days on the job. >> it was one of the fastest, crudest flame outs in west wing history. communications director anthony scaramucci, known simply as "the mooch" ." >> so far, there have been as many firings in the white house as an average season of theapprentice" ,"closeweb .com >> jesse: and then there are other people that say this guy flew too close to the sun. he was a mini trump, a big ego, took a lo

anthony scaramucci goes there. he says what the president wants him to say.t the way the president wants him to say it. >> exactly. >> he applauds him for saying it. he then gets stung in the lizza piece and all of a sudden he's out. >> almost like a kamikaze, suicide mission. he was there to get reince priebus removed. once he did that, he was less useful to the trump family. i think there's a baked in assumption that the president has a positive message he wants to relay as opposed to wanting to pick fights, wanting to get even with enemies, wanting to do battle. if you look at his twitter account and his public statements, he seems to want to relitigate the election and get even with his enemies. >> 42 minutes in, frank, no tweets from the president yet, may be an early sign the general, because there's been a lot for him to talk about the president, a lot of things i'm sure he's not happy with. >> if he tweets he'll tweet something dishonest. yesterday "no chaos here, great day at the white house." >> we have no idea. >> the stunning "the washington post"

scaramucci? >> well, i think you have to go back to thursday night with ryan lizza, the conversation that anthony scaramucci had with him, where he suggested that steve bannon do various things to himself and said horrendous things about reince priebus. now, there's a lot of like history being rewritten today. i can tell you, it's complete nonsense that the president was offended by those comments or that the trump women somehow -- this was some sort of apostasy and they all rose up in anguish. that's just not true. in realtime, we know from our reporting that the president found the remarks amusing, at first, and then later in the evening, as the negative coverage piled on, he got quite angry and told anthony scaramucci and told him off a little bit. but the next day, he was joking about it. this was really john kelly. and for general kelly to take the job, he made the demand that he gets complete authority. and that everything goes through him. and the way to demonstrate that is to fire someone

scaramucci do wrong? he must've messed up royally to be on the job ten days and then get shoved aside. >> anthony scaramucci always wanted to be a wise guy, but eventually wise guys get whacked and this really does provide a textbook example of how not to operate and the trump white house moving forward. you can be aggressive, you can be combative, but the one thing that you can't do is you can't overshadow the president, that's what scaramucci forgot and that's why i think the mooch was cut loose yesterday. >> jon: he did draw more attention to himself and the man he was working for. >> absolutely. the interview he did at the new yorker, it didn't really defend the president. it was the scaramucci shell, not with the white house wanted to be on message. >> jon: was of the profanity, jordan, or was it something else? i'm sure the president has heard and used profanity, so has his chief of staff, that is he is herded at least as a marine corps general. >> it's hard to believe that the profanity was really

( laughter ) that's like waking up in the morning looking in the newspaper and it says, help wanted but not you. what?! i haven't even started yet! it's like the song of the summer. scaramucci came into our lives, made everyone obsessed with him for a week and then left us with nothing but memories and a bunch of moves -- ( singing macarena ) ( cheers and applause ) then he's gone. people are fired so quickly that the white house ghost has no idea who to haunt. moooch! scaramucci. you're not mooch. where's mooch? >> i'm general kelly. >> where's mooch? >> he got fired. >> spicer -- >> -- i'll go on break. bye-bye.

scaramucci has learned a lesson this week, and we will see a much more low-profile anthony scaramuccithat will be happening under any circumstance. charlie: the fact the president respects general kelly so much, does that mean he will be able to rely on general kelly? answer the question, who can say no to the president? jonathan: that is a great question, because general kelly is a military man. one of the things the president likes is that when he says he wants to go in a direction, general kelly has executed that. it is an open question whether or not general kelly will go into the oval office and challenge the president and tell him he is wrong on something. that remains to be seen. also, how the president would react to it. he is somebody the president respects and somebody the president believes is the most competent member of his cabinet. charlie: he is somebody who has acknowledged for making the trains run on time as they say, , having superb management skills, and someone who does not tolerate disruptive behavior. jonathan: exactly. and there is no shortage of disruptive beh
