that probably explained the scaramucci thing.e've seen that with other people who have broken from donald trump whether it is amma rosa and he reacted that way because he can't help himself. >> let me get april to weigh in. what do you think? >> wolf, i want to go back to chris's earlier point. this demask us moment for anthony scaramucci has been an evolution. i remember when anthony scaramucci and i first met we were on opposing sides of each other about donald trump and he went in on me. and then we talked about it. and then later on he became a white house employee for 11 days and thin stel in support of the president and still on television and he and the president were talking. but after a while there was an erosion and anthony started to see the light and he would say things that made me say, hmm, he's think being this. and then i emailed with him yesterday and today and we have been talking and he's very concerned about this -- all of this racial animus and rhetoric that the president said and this elijah cummings stuff a

why now is scaramucci acting? >> i think he acted because it is time and i give him credit for doing that. i know he is not an elected official. no matter. fact is he is an influential member of the republican party. waiting for other people to step up and other people to act and other people to show courage. there's time to exhibit courage and time to exhibit leadership. if ever there was a time, it is now. how dare the president at that time equate moral equivalency between the two groups. i remember we used to have a president, could be republican or democrat, they stood for america, they stood for the people, for the values we all stand for. i remember john mccain. remember that debate with obama when someone went after obama that he is an arab. mccain said no, he is a fine man, a decent man, good family man. we have fundamental disagreements on policy. that's where it should be. this issue of demonizing people of color and immigrants and mexicans coming from drug countries and infestation, it is despicable, d

>> well, not because of scaramucci. i think i'd take a step back here.his is a much bigger problem happening in the country. we now have a metastasizing, exponentially growing terrorist threat in the u.s. these white nationalists, terrorists, are growing online exponentially. the fbi has pointed this out. we're now seeing the carnage in america, and yet there's no coordinated response. there's no coherent response. there's been no call to the american people to say we've got to do something. let's get law enforcement together. let's get the governors in here. in fact, we just have weird tweets that echo the language from the white house of the people who are pushing forward this terrorist threat. that's a major deal. that's not a partisan thing. that's not a racial thing. that's not a left versus right thing. that is a dangerous thing. when you have an exponentially growing terrorist threat in the united states with no response, you've got a major, major problem. and that goes alongside there's an external threat. the mueller report, whatever it says abo

>> so now scaramucci is on tv. he's on tv a lot. >> i talked to scaramucci. he said one of the things he's upset about is the criticism that go back. do you think there is more to it? >> i don't know. this is, these are both people that are quite likeable on tv. trump and scaramucci. the mooch was not for trump in 2016. then was for trump and now isn't for trump. i don't know, maybe it's sin skier. i think they could potentially patch things up in the next six months. wouldn't that be a reunion. scaramucci has pointed out they may have to replace him. do you know he followed today on twitter? mark stanford. former republican from south carolina. he has his toe in the water. >> since he married the tweet now saying the 2020 challenge, that d. that end them getting back together there. >> i think, i think the real housewives thing didn't pan out. scaramucci got the bug, the film bug. the spotlight bug that the money can't satisfy. he's like a meerkat. he sees the spot light, the meerkats pick up. that's the mooch. i have a sports analogy, you won't get it maybe

>> you know, anthony scaramucci, it's interesting because one of the things we have to give president for he hasn't changed, he has been the same as he was when anthony scaramucci worked for him and prior when he was in new york city and i know a lot of what anthony scaramucci has said has to do with the president's comments on race, the president was making those comments long before he ran for president, so i think that's the issue people have with what anthony scaramucci has said, is that this president hasn't changed, he's been who he is and so anthony scaramucci calling him out start to seem sort of -- a way that he can get something from the media which is a lot of attention he has gotten. he can have his own view on the president but is self-serving. >> we agree on that. >> i did prez him on that and he admitted he waited too long and had to question why are you saying this now when you defended the guy for so long. great discussion, thanks so much. after the break, one of the great issues facing america, why are commentators so craze that sean spicer is going on with dancing w

. >>> anthony scaramucci joins us live. "new day" continues right now. >> epstein was discovered in his cell here. sources saying he died by suicide. >> the prison warden who had to approve of him being taken off of suicide watch will have to answer to those questions. >> the president sharing a conspiracy theory linking the clinics to the death. >> he's whipping people up into anger. what he's doing is dangerous. >> presidential hopefuls making their case to iowans. >> we have this notion that if you're poor you cannot do it. poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids. >> joe biden is not playing with a full deck. >> he continues to lead in the polls but other candidates are moving up. he's under pressure here. >>> welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. this is "new day." i'm john berman. alisyn is off. erica hill joins me this morning. great to have you here. >> good morning. >> and this morning we have what could be a dramatic change of heart from one of the president's longtim

>> not because of scaramucci. we have to take a step back.s is a much bigger problem happening in the country. we have a me tast sizing, growing, terrorist threat. in the u.s. the white nationalists terrorists are growing online. the fbi has pointed this out, we're seeing the carnage in america and there's no coordinated response. there's no coherent response. no call to american people saying we have to do something. let's get the law enforcement together and the governors in here. we have weird tweets that and echo the language from the white house of the people who are pushing for the terrorist threat. it's a major deal. it's not a partisan thing or racial thing. that's not a left vs. right. that's a dangerous thing. you have a growing terrorist threat in the united states with no response, you have a major major problem. that goes alongside the external threat. the mueller report says very clearly we are at war with russia. russia declared war on the democracy and pulling out all stops to hurt us. with no coordinated response. internal th

and he felt like he was good to scaramucci.don't think that they can be concerned about almost anybody, even if you've got an a-list candidate which seems unlikely at this point. at this point you can say if you disagree with me, but he is the republican party. there is no space there. there's no distance. like, they are one. >> the numbers are the numbers. 86 to 90% in just about every poll. >> so who is going to come out against that? it's just not going to happen. they will be the last people, even with the economy going back, i would think that republicans would be the last to turn on him. >> the republican leaders are going to come together, and i'm thinking of two very quickly. lindsay graham and mitch mcconnell would have to be two of those people. running for re-election in fairly red states who know that a primary challenge could actually kill them. it just doesn't happen, right? >> you need a major change in the economic political circumstances to have a real political challenge to donald trump. you are absolutely rig

they say that it is embarrassing to watch anthony scaramucci. what do you say?obably the best messenger for the message, but i certainly hope that he's correct. i don't see him right now. as far as the white house, whatever they say, you cannot believe. i mean, this is a president who has lied over 12,000 times. their credibility is pretty well gone. i'm surprised that it's even newsworthy to listen to him. >> of course, you are put in a position where that's the press secretary for the united states. you can see the challenge of the situation. one thing anthony scaramucci says is that he has been inundated with support from republicans for taking on trump. you and i spoke about a week ago. you spoke out against the president's racism. you made this decision that you were no longer going to stay silent. then your own state g.o.p. party, they said get out. that was their response. what has happened since? >> well, they did ask me to leave the party. i'm not going to do that. absolutely no way. i'm going to stay in the party and use the platform that i've recently

it's anthony scaramucci looking for tv time. cnn just got more viewers.s funny about watching this is all the journalists and pundits who paid him no attention, called him a laughingstock and a joke when he served as white house communications director for 11 days, now they are acting as if it's some sort of important commentary handed down from a major figure in the republican party, some sort of party elder. it's frustrating to watch because it shows such hypocrisy, those media sources and pundits and commentators that are dismissive of him and have been dismissive of him from the outset. he is a fringe character and this is just a cry for attention on his part. scaramucci's part. >> neil: do you worry, if you see anything nominally critical of the president that all bets are off and he might tweet some stuff about you. >> it's not an unfair comment but i will say i just try to call balls and strikes. talking about polling and data and making sure i pick the right poles and do an analysis from that standpoint. scaramucci went after him in a way that he

he briefly employed, scaramucci, trump tweeting quote scaramucci who like so many others had nothing to do with my election victory is only upset. i seldom had time to return his

how much sway does anthony scaramucci have? even though people may agree with him in private, in terms of trying to get somebody to come out and say something beside him to support him. >> let's see a republican elected official who has to face the voters in potentially a republican primary. when someone like that comes out against donald trump, then that will be -- anthony scaramucci has no electoral votes. he got no votes at all except his own. i think you make a very good point that, you know, he's interesting, he's a media figure. he is not someone who is answerable to a republican electora electorate. >> again, i go back to friday night where he was still standing by the president. the picture from the hospital had already been put out. his trip had been criticized and some of the details coming out of his trip and commentary had been out there. why anthony scaramucci had the change of heart. many skeptics say did it happen to happen after the president tweeted at him. i'm not saying it is but timing is suspect. >> timing

up next, the newest clash and with anthony scaramucci. what it means is a another high-profile loyalest turns on the commander in chief. we call it the mother standard of care. it's something we take personally, and believe in passionately. it's the idea that if our mothers were diagnosed with cancer, how would we want them to be treated? that's exactly how we care for you. with answers and actions. to hear your concerns, quiet your fears, lift your spirits. with teams of cancer experts and specialists, delivering advanced treatment options and compassionate support every step of the way. all here in one place, with one purpose. to fight your cancer, together. that's the mother standard of care. this is how we inspire hope. this is how we heal. cancer treatment centers of america. appointments available now. cancer treatment centers of america. why accept it frompt an incompyour allergy pills?e else. flonase sensimist. nothing stronger. nothing gentler. nothing lasts longer. flonase sensimist. 24 hour non-drowsy allergy relief >>> preside

now, remember, anthony scaramucci lies about everything.ntinues to try to blank his own blank. anthony scaramucci has never appeared on this program because he is one of the most ridiculous characters in the trump freak show and he is a proven liar and proven liars aren't welcome here, especially the clowniest of the clowns in the trump world. anthony scaramucci's break with the president, if it holds, which is actually unlikely because this is scaramucci we're talking about, will mean the loss of at most one trump vote in the state of new york, which donald trump is going to lose anyway. the words "anthony scaramucci" have always meant absolutely nothing in american politics and they always will. his new claim that he is looking for a republican to challenge donald trump for the republican nomination means that he remains so flawlessly ignorant about american politics that he doesn't even know that donald trump already has a serious republican primary challenger, the former republican governor of william weld, who will join our discussion

yes, that is a ton of shade for anthony scaramucci.ause in this day and age, donald trump puts people on his transition team. they become political experts. the fact that we are talking about breaking news this morning, i'd like to figure out what breaking news is. like, i just have a ton of questions. and mostly for anthony scaramucci, like, he stands to benefit a whole lot from saying now after putting america through this tragic presidency, that, oh, this isn't the right thing to do. but also i can't tell you if or i'm not going to vote for donald trump. i'm over the whole thing. i've been over anthony scaramucci since we talked about this last time. >> i know. let me say this to answer your question here. there's a lot to gain,. i was emailing early this morning. >> what were you emailing? >> about this. he said he's about a pro-america campaign but he does stand to gain something. he is trying to create a pack against donald trump. that's the bottom line. no, but wait a minute -- >> hold on one second. joe walsh who has come forwa

anthony scaramucci seems like he took his public shot at trump.seems to be potentially waning in terms of getting attention. so now he's come out with a second promise and in a very trumpian way, 18, you know, it wasn't like a bunch of people, very specific number like he has the dids to deliver. the question is who is going to do that? i cover this administration, hr mcmaster, james mattis, rex tillerson. these are not people who seem like they have done anything to suggest they will go over to anthony scaramucci's side and get under and join his quest. if anything if they had something to say, they would deliver it on their own. will they deliver? tom's split seems to be different. it's a personal split between the two of him. i don't know him coming out with resonate with the average voter. the other thing shadowing all of this is everyone heard all of this before. if you're a voter in ohio or pennsylvania or wisconsin, you know all of this about the president and the president's response will be exactly the same. these people have an ax to gri

jim, you were at the white house when scaramucci was there.he's a likable guy whether you believe in his politics or not. he's certainly a very new york chab ever ch character. there is notion that republicans will speak out against the president, which is scaramucci saying he thinks there may be this change on capitol hill among republicans, which a lot of people may it sha-- a lot of democrats may be wishing for but no sign of it. >> i don't see a ground swell of support. the president's numbers among republicans continue to be very, very strong. again, i think this is a war of the words and anthony coming out against the president and taking his punch if you will with the war of the words, i don't see any grounds for, you know, washington republicans turning their back on the president or revolting against the president. no indication of that. >> rick, what was that? soft-handed what? >> soft-handed man baby. >> i have to write it down so i can think about it. thank you. >>> coming up, is it all or nothing now in the conservative movement i

anthony scaramucci, thank you for coming. >> totally fair.nk you. >> just to come, in the wake of jeffrey epstein's death, charlie gasparino on how he was interviewing him about business and what he told him about sex with young girls. stay with us. ok, let's huff and puff. like you do sometimes, grandpa? well, when you have copd, it can be hard to breathe. so my doctor said... symbicort can help you breathe better- starting within 5 minutes. it doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. symbicort helps provide significant improvement of your lung function. symbicort is for copd, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. it should not be taken more than twice a day. it may increase your risk of lung infections, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. symbicort could mean a day with better breathing. watch out, piggies! ask your doctor if symbicort is right for you. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. if you can't

scaramucci will not tilt them. scaramucci has known for two years what this man was. he was angling still for a job. he was the white house press communication director for a whopping 11 days. and now in -- i also want to mention this. everyone is praising scaramucci for these comments, he's still neutral on trump. he says he's still neutral on him but compares him to a nuclear react melting down. i think most of us have been saying he's been melting down two or three years. it's not going to shift anyone. but the fact that scaramucci is another person who is part of this administration that turned on trump and trumped turned on him just goes to show that trump is loyal only to trump. >> there's a "washington post" story, doug, and it's about the president's brand. it says president trump considers himself a branding wizard but he is vexed by a branding crisis of his own, how to shed the label of racist. do you see him really trying? or if you were giving him some sort of guidance effectively trying to shed that? >> i think he's trying to yell at staffers that they're

anthony scaramucci, thank you for coming. >> totally fair.to come, in the wake of jeffrey epstein's death, charlie gasparino on how he was interviewing him about business and what he told him about sex with young girls. there's a company that's talked to even more real people than me: jd power. 448,134 to be exact. they answered 410 questions in 8 categories about vehicle quality. and when they were done, chevy earned more j.d. power quality awards across cars, trucks and suvs than any other brand over the last four years. so on behalf of chevrolet, i want to say "thank you, real people." you're welcome. we're gonna need a bigger room. >> sea of speculation about jeffrey epstein's death in prison. turn to one of the few reporters who actually spoke to the sex predator this year. charlie gasparino is with us. you talked to him in march on background. that is out the window because he is dead. you talked about the actual sex crimes he convicted. you asked him to describe the sex acts that landed him in jail. tell us about that. >> this is inter

anthony scaramucci the former white house communications director for a whole 11 days but a longtimeis boss and his boss's behavior tells cnn he no longer necessarily backs the president's re-election. he also has a message for republicans, you may want to consider a new candidate in 2020. he just spoke to john berman. listen. change at the top of the ticket when someone is acting like this, someone is that lax, intellectual curiosity to take ideas from friends. i think the policies are very, very good for american people but the rhetoric is so charged and so divisive that we all have to take a step back and say and say what are we doing. one thing i find reprehensible and the president continues to do this, and i think what will end up happening is, sound and reasonably minded men and women in the republican party will say, wait, we can't do this. he is giving people a license to hate, to provide a source of anger to go after each other, and he does it on his twitter account. >>> that is right just part of berman's interview with anthony scaramucci. he joins me now with the national

>> than feud with donnie deutsche and anthony scaramucci.ington post" reported that the republican party leader are worried about being able to win back these suburbs that they lost in 2018 in the midterms. and the president's antics and racism and feuding on twitter, et cetera, they are worried it will hurt the party chances, not just for president trump to win re-election but house and the senate. >> there are a lot of republicans who held their nose and voted for trump because a lot of it based on the policies. and republican senators tell you time and time again that they are happy with the tax policy and deregulatory policies and the transformation of the judiciary but they wish he would put down his phone, a., so we stop asking them questions about his tweets every day, but also because they know his rhetoric could be damaging to the voters that they need. clearly the suburban area will be one heavily targeted area for both parties next year and on the suburb issue, obviously we talked about the -- the race issues, the lack of focus on

scaramucci is talking about a challenger for mr. trump in 2020. >> this is not a never trump situation. this is not just screeching rhetoric. this is, okay, the guy's unstable. everyone inside knows it. everyone outside knows it. let's see if we can find a viable alternative report. the president is out with a new unproven conspiracy theory accusing google of manipulating 2 million votes in 2016, adding his victory was bigger than thought. that's not true. there is no evidence of a google conspiracy to change votes, the search engine is denying manipulation of its data. the president thinks fox news may be out to get him, too, after one of the network polls found mr. trump's approval rating changing. >> fox has changed and my worst polls have always been from fox. there is something going on at fox right now. i'll tell you right now. i'm not happy with it. >> reporter: there are new white house talking points, claiming the economy will be the best in the world until the 2020 election. they take issue with democratic contenders calli

and to anthony scaramucci. let me read you what he wrote about anthony scaramucci. scaramucci is a highly unstable nut job who was with other candidates in the primary who got shellacked and unfortunately he got into my campaign and i barely knew him until his 11 days of gross incompetence and made a fool on tv and putting together -- [ technical difficulties ] this is not a never trump situation. this is not just screeching rhetoric. i've got to get some of the former cabinet officials in unity to speak up about it. they know it is a crisis. >> and anthony scaramucci is talked, kaitlan, about former cabinet officials and krnt people in the administration who feel the same way he does but as of yet none have come forward. >> not under this current discussion and not with anthony scaramucci but he is a part of a growing chorus of people who once had close ties to the president and no longer do but who want to come out and say that he is unstable or that he's unable to do his job. but the problem that he has is credibility. is that people who have come forth like him

scaramucci says it is like "game of thrones."says, we have to take this guy out because he's like the night king. the minute the night king is vaporized, all the zombies are going to fall by the wayside. >>> let's unpack mooch's point here. he's arguing trump is like the night king, powerful, scary, immune to harms that have taken out other warriors. the night king is not harmed by fire, for example. trump not harmed by scandals that have burned up other politicians' careers. but like many despots in fiction and reality, the night king rules on fear. once destroyed, everything can change and his subjects don't always stick around. that's the mooch's view of today's republican party. if you vanquish trump electorally, his seemingly zombie-esq followers will scatter. although "game of thrones" fans will notice he flubbed the night name, it's the night king, not the ice king. >> i'm going to bring up the ice king. remember the scene in the "game of thrones" where he kills him and the other dead zombies evaporate? that's where we are

>> scaramucci knows no bounds whatsoever.what his performance was when he was at the white house, what he's been since, the absolute bankruptcy of his moral, ethical values that somehow he thinks he's going to reclaim some public persona that he should have long ago walked away in shame baffles me. no, there is no possibility of that. the possibility is more likely that donald trump could lose by a small margin and then refuse to vacate the oval office. >> how do you really feel, peter? wow. >> i think your comparison of anthony scaramucci made him sound like michael cohen. michael cohen was morally bankrupt. that guy would do anything for trump. what i saw with scaramucci -- >> he did do anything for trump. he lied, he cheated and he stole. >> i wouldn't go so far. i think he went in there and did the job. i think he wanted to communicate what the white house wanted to communicate. i don't think he was as bad as michael cohen. i was one of the blanket people scaramucci reached out to. there were worse actors, is what i'm try

you just heard anthony scaramucci.t sun stable, getting worse, and that's after his appearance on "ac 360" last night. three different cabinet officials called him after his appearance. what is your reaction? >> i don't really have a big reaction. i've been opposing donald trump for his rhetoric and division for a long time. i try to be pretty careful not to make the attacks personal, don. that's the only thing i can say. and in terms of everybody can have their say and he's pointing some things out that bother him a great deal which includes division. and that's been my concern about the president since before he became president. i don't like the division. i don't like the negativity. you see, we have two ways to go in america. we can either tell people they're victims and drive them down. or in fact we can lift them up and say yeah, you have problems but i think we can fix them. and i do choose the latter, which is to be able to say look, you should be able to have problems and we can fix them. not somebody else too

scaramucci seems to have had a change of heart.bviously, he worked for the trump white house for ten days before he was tossed out. and seems to believe that president trump's behavior in the after math of the shootings in el paso and dayton mark a new low. my thought would be, what's so different about last week as opposed to many other weeks in the trump administration. if you're a trump critic, last week wasn't a great week, but there have been many other weeks that you can point to that would deepen the skepticism of people who don't come on liking president trump from the outset. >> dana: he did condemn president trump for awhile after they had that split from the white house. he's been quite vocal. the thing that i thought was surprising, he was suggesting that even the president might need to be replaced on the ticket. chances of that are pretty much nil and nil. >> chances of that are very remote at this point, barring something catastrophic or something more significant that president trump would do or that we would learn.

anthony scaramucci, omarosa manigault newman, and jw verrett.of this buy greenland? >> try to ignore trump as much as i can. look, this guy can't even get a trade deal done. he is going to get a deal done to buy greenland? it's a warning to the democratic party, don't just pick someone to get the other side. that's what happened. i watched it begin to lose all grounding in principle. it's depressing. don't let that happen to your party. >> don't pick wild. >> don't pick somebody just to get the other side. i respect somebody like joe biden who says nice things about republicans like me during the primary when it doesn't help them. that speaks to character. the future could be joe biden and mitch mcconnell working together, and i think that's all right. we can renew some of the old reagan-tip o'neill. >> constructive. >> but it's just another squirrel. he throws these squirrels out when he is trying to get us to distract from something. >> he didn't leak this. >> no. but he know there's is this long list of squirrel things i call them. detract. >

well, here to discuss now is none other than anthony scaramucci.ood to have you on. >> he said other things, too. there's enough to go around. after our conversation there'll be a couple more and i'm sort of tired of responding to them because it's so sophomoric and i feel like i'm operating like the high school president who happens to also be the bully in the lunchroom cafeteria. i sort of find it comical. >> all right, let's talk about something else. his trip to denmark, right, he's saying he's postponing it because the prime minister won't discuss purchasing greenland. aren't there other things to discuss especially with an ally? >> yes, but it's also broader context there. he wants to be the human wrecking ball for the grand alliance. he's such a narcissist, what he wants to do is say to all of our european allies and leaders of the free world around the world, he wants to say, well, i'm now in charge now and i want to swing this wrecking ball any which way i like to show i'm in power and as we said say here in new york that's like a total sp

>> first of all anthony scaramucci is all about anthony scaramucci, you can ask the young staffers in community should's office that literally were terrorized by anthony scaramucci. he only survived 11 days in a job. >> martha: how did he terrorize them? >> he took spoke to them badly, i think the young staffers felt very uncomfortable around anthony, i have to tell you you ask at the staffers and they always said that was the worst time to work in the communication child which was under the reign of anthony scaramucci. again, to be in the white house is a great honor and privilege to be a public servant to serve the president of the united states. and obviously anthony was too weak and too much of a and too much of a loser to survive obviously the stresses of the white house. screw and i can't let that hang out there, he was -- to the young and inappropriate staffers. >> keyed him intimidate the young to medication staffers. he was going to be fired next, it was the terrifying of this young staffers staff the always felt very much to be needed by how he treated them. that's what he c

that was all before scaramucci signed up to be the white house com director. what changed? >> i spoke to him earlier today and the gist of his answer was that it's the compound acts. and it was just the latest series of tweets that were, in his eyes and we've called them at least the tweets racist in tone and tenor, and that he had enough. look, let's just get to the reality of it and the reality of it is that scaramucci is a republican, he was a republican donor, he was somebody who supported more traditional republicans than donald trump but he knew donald trump socially. and during the campaign, brooke, they had a -- particularly towards the end of the campaign, my understanding realtime back then is that they had a pretty good relationship to the point where he was kind of an adviser that not a lot of people really knew existed that the presidepresident, then-candidate, listened to him and they had a relationship from the business world and that's where it was planted. if scaramucci was someone who was an elected official right now, it's hard to imagine you would hear t

that's president trump talking about scaramucci talking about him. while he fully supported the president recently, the president has said things that divide the country in a way that's unacceptable. that's the latest verdict on him. scaramucci added eventually he turns on everyone, and soon it will be you and then the entire country. today scaramucci went further saying he thinks republicans need to consider a change at the top of the ticket. >> i think the president needs to be challenged. i think he's a very tired pitcher now that's throwing balls over the backstop, and we need a relief pitcher to come in that can speak to the american people about very similar policies with a different more inclusive style. i'm calling on my fellow republicans. the question is going to be object them, do they have the courage to step force in a block, okay, and knock this guy off. >> next is a republican considering challenging the president for the nomination for president in 2020. you know this guy, stick with us, you're watching "hardball." us, you're watching

anthony scaramucci predicted the president will drop out by march of next year, so sam, there are two parts to this, first, what is the white house's interpretation of those polls, any concern here? >> the white house hasn't expressed a whole lot of concern about the polls. you have seen the prosecute repeatedly go after polls, specifically those from fox news, supposed to be a friendly outlet to them. they have undermined the integrity of the polls, you know, something that supporters of the president often say is that these polls were wrong in 2016. they didn't predict the president's true level of support, and that's what they're going to continue to say going forward, is that these polls do not capture how popular the president is. >> and sam, why is scaramucci introducing the trump will drop out narrative. what is behind that? >> i honestly have no idea. most republicans, i think, both those who support and don't support the president would laugh at the idea that somebody who announced his reelection campaign earlier than i think any president in modern history would drop out at

it's either 2020 or 2024. >> anthony scaramucci, good to see you. the former white house communications director. >>> planned parenthood reject something federal funding so it will not have to comply with the new trump administration rule. but will taking a stand be worth it? what will it actually cost? we'll be speaking to the acting president of planned parenthood next. you're watching "vels "velshi & ruhle." y to upgrade. moving in. moving on up. or making big moves. deliveries ship free and come with a 100-night free trial. no matter your budget. or your sleep style. we have quality options for everyone. so search and shop. save and snooze. and rest easy, knowing that we've got your back. literally. that's what you get, when you've got wayfair. so shop now. we didn't have to stop the movie. i didn't have to call an ambulance. and i didn't have to contact your family. because your afib didn't cause a blood clot that led to a stroke. not today. we'd discussed how your stroke risk increases over time, so even though you were feeling fine, we chose

anthony scaramucci says he can no longer support president trump because of his racially charged rhetoric. and the mooch says republicans should make a change for 2020. >> it is a responsibility of people in the republican party okay to say, hey, man, we need to put a relief pitcher in here. you pitched six strong innings but you're throwing it up against the backstop now. i really believe that. let's see what happens. i'm a loyal republican. i tried to be loyal to him, but let's face it, he's gone off the rails so we just have to call it for what it is. >> we begin the hour, though, with the attorney general talking for the first time about jeffrey epstein's apparent suicide. this morning in new orleans william barr calling epstein's death a, quote, failure. >> i was appalled, and indeed the whole department was, and frankly angry, to learn of the mcc's failure to adequately secure this prisoner. we are now learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation. >> the mcc is the manhattan correctional center. there guards disco

scaramucci has responded.e says, quote: for the last three years i have fully supported this president. recently he has said things that divide the country in a way unacceptable. so i didn't pass the 100% litmus test. eventually he turns on everyone, and soon it will be you and then the entire country. he tweeted a cartoon showing someone something the white house work force, the guy's enthused, he's got a maga hat, at the end he's getting stabbed in the back by the president. the president is defending his time here in central jersey, he says he is working well into the evenings while his administration's trying to reach a trade agreement with china. the president suggests talks could collapse and maintains the u.s. is in a strong negotiating position. >> china wants to settle this deal. they've had the worst year that they've had in many, many decades, and it's getting only worse. thousands of companies are leaving china. they would like to make a deal. i'm not ready to make a deal. >> reporter: the presiden

scaramucci is now so divisive. is it different now than it was in 2016? are we in a different place than we were for charlottesville? >> i think it's work looking back what happened during the 2017 campaign. there was a high percent of people recoiling at the president weighing in on racist issues when he questioned whether a judge overseeing the trump university case couldn't fairly hear the case because he was, quote, a mexican judge. in fact he was born in the united states. he had mexican descent. even at that point "the washington post" conducted a poll and asked people whether they felt the president's comments were in fact racist. in the summer of 2016, 42% of republicans thought the president's comments about judge curel were racist. of course, almost all of the them went on to vote for him as president. i think where this potentially changes is when it becomes part of a one-off pattern or few things the president just has thrown out here. if people link this to actual violence like there was in charlottesville or el paso, that's where it could be
