do you want to say anything about scaramucci? >> what was most interesting in the interview, in a totally interesting interview, was the full concession and acknowledgment from scaramucci that the first year was n't working, and he just said to chris, to equate all the senior staff turnover, it has been at an unprecedented level in his first year of the administration that should be attributed to the business sense of the president acknowledging and realizing his white house wasn't working, and to have somebody to serve as communications director for only 11 days, and somebody who was around the trump team through the campaign and into the administration, to acknowledge that, the president clearly understood his presidency wasn't working, and i don't think we have heard that before. >> josh, listen, you have written a book about steve bannon, and what has the last 24 hours been like for you, and why did steve bannon talk to michael wolff or is he undisciplined and has loose lips? >> much like trump himself, he's a bit of a narcis

anthony scaramucci is here. we're going to be one-on-one in just a few minutes on a day where it seems everything has changed. steve bannon out at breitbart, and with word of that, it was like a spell was broken. president trump called for comprehensive immigration reform and a bill of love for d.r.e.a.m.ers. he held a meeting that was televised with both sides of the aisle. no hate speak, no faux populism. in other words, no bannon. this news is going to send both sides into a tizzy, but forget about the spin. what matters is how we got here and how things may change. facts first. let's remember why trump cozied up to bannon in the first place. mid august, 2016, trump picks bannon to be his campaign chairman, why? why did he pick him to be chairman? because bannon hated the gop establishment that was going after trump, encouraged trump to be his most bombastic, which trump liked, and he had a feel for a group of americans that trump wanted to connect with, now known as the base. so trump wins. that skinny margi

bit about anthony scaramucci. he seemed to try to pin the blame for this story coming out on steve bannon. that was a short time ago. he spoke with chris. listen. >> i find it very ironic that this information is coming out while he is here in davos, while he's had great fanfare. so, you know, you and me, i would love to get a look at somebody like steve bannon's phone records to see who he is talking to and how this information is out there. second thing i will say is that the president talks to everybody. and so this information apparently happened in june. why it is coming out right now like a big water balloon on the president when he is having a fantastic trip here in davos, meeting with world leaders? >> ryan, how do i don't think the news tonight is going to reverberate in trump world, or is reverberating? that won't be the only finger-pointing going on, will it? >> yeah, i'm sure like anthony, i'm sure there will be a lot of people in the white house trying to figure out who leaked this. if i remember corr

priebus was asked about scaramucci's leaker accusation on cnn in july. and declined to answer. >> i'm not going to respond to it, i'm not going to get into the mud. >> scaramucci's language got him fired after just ten days own. >> i was told by general kelley, maybe 9:30 in the morning on that monday, july 31st, that he needed to let me go. is. >>> zuch says he left proud. >> when i look back at it, i knocked two, possibly three bad players out of the white house. >> sean spicer and priebus, and maybe bannon? >> i deserve credit for him. i exposed the tremendous amount of leaking. i explained to the president how he was leaking, what journalists he was using to leak for somebody that was calling themselves a man of the people and a populist. and somebody that was deriding the swamp as aggressively as he was turned out to not even be a -- it was like a combination of a swamp creature and a ses pool operator. >> up next, the russia investigation. >> do you think president trump told general flynn to lie to the fbi about his contacts with the russians? mom

two days away from me, and you're already hanging with anthony scaramucci? >> reporter: i'll tell you, anthony and i go back a long wawa way. we were together in a movie some years ago. i saw him, and he's always good for the answers. the single biggest question in davos is, hey, velshi, where's ruhle? the place misses you. everybody asks you about. scaramucci was coming by. i'll tell you, what is donald trump going to do here exactly? we see cabinet secretaries walking back and forth here. we saw wilbur ross talking about the fact that nafta may be re-negotiated. maybe we're in a trade war after donald trump said we're not. we heard mnuchin talking down the dollar. something treasury secretaries don't do. may be some merit in it, but they generally don't do it. i stopped scaramucci and said, anthony, what is the president trying to do when he comes and speaks here? he'll get here on friday. he'll make a speech thursday and friday morning. what is he going to do? here's what he told me. there seems to be a mixed message. the president is coming here and says

joining us now, i wish he was here, anthony scaramucci. happy new year. >> congratulations on your unbelievable show. >> laura: you've got to come on more. >> i'm thrilled to be here, let's make this not the last time. >> laura: let's talk about you and the white house. i'm reading these stories add reports that, you talk to the president regularly, he has an enormous amount of respect and affection for you. there's some desire to bring you back in. the white house is being coy about it. >> that's all news to me. i addressed that on how we should show over the weekend. it's a little bit of nonsense. i'm not a presumptuous person. i don't expect to go back to the white house. i certainly set on the year i didn't take a general kelly would want to hire me back although i think he's doing a great job. i think at the end of the day, they seem to be doing a great job. i thought today's communication strategy was absolutely brilliant, my hats off to them for allowing the american people to see the president the way you does the president, and hi

anthony scaramucci, welcome to hardtalk. it's good to be back.you believe that donald trump is a president that the american people can be proud of? yeah, i mean, listen, we're in a polarised country, so certainly 40—60% of the people are not going to like the president at any given time, i think that's been true unfortunately for the last 30 years. but, yeah, if you look at the diagnostics of what's going on in the last year in terms of the economic growth, the wage increases, the fact that he's tackling, or at least handling, our adversaries, and trying to build strong alliances with our allies, i think yes. there's a lot to be proud of. well, we'll talk economy and foreign policy, but i want to begin with the style and tone of this presidency. arguably the most important job in the world. do you believe that he is handling it in the right way? well, you have to remember, go back to the campaign — the president, the candidate then was in front of 17 other potential candidates and the constant remark... i don't want you to go back to the campaig

one of the reasons we're so anxious to get anthony scaramucci's take on this. it will be interesting to see what he says. >> david, back to the headlines, one of the headlines about what bannon said is about that meeting. so the meeting now at the crux of some of the investigation with the russian lawyer, here's just to repeat i it again. the three senior guys thought it was a good idea to meet with a foreign government in the conference room on the 25th floor with no lawyers. they didn't have any lawyers. even if you thought this was not treasonist or bad blank and i he happen to think it's all of that, you should have called the fbi immediately. this guy had the president's ear and thought it was treasonist. >> no question about it. even without knowing the particulars of the investigation, it shows that the trump campaign was open for business. even if foreign agents were coming through the door. it's a huge problem. bannon looks to be settling a lot of scores here. >> good point, david. >> the settling of scores can make some things possible. bannon still b

here's the thing about scaramucci.ssic , he was willing to take questions from everyone, even cn n which at that point had run a story that was total crap that he had to recant and they fired two guys from it. he made a real impression from that though, and that was the problem . we apparently learned that he was good at yoga. he's made the rounds on the talk show s. there are other late night shows on tv? i didn't know that. they're not as good do you have a new year's resolution? a. do you do that in. >> no. i'm going to keep crush ing it all year. christie, crushing it in 018. yep. >> speaking of crushing things, apparently the new year's resolution to get if it is also popular on the hill. we spotted the sign for the weight watchers es program inside the capital. it is the senate weight loss program. it is a 12 -week program for weight watchers. tomorrow is the last day to sign up. the sign also says it cost 156 bucks for 12 weeks. i got to tell tu, you know it. it's a good program, but you got to stick to it. if y
