let's get to our headliner former White House communications director Anthony
scaramouche II here in studio how are you it's great to be here nice to see
you four days later still a bit of a cleanup
process how do you think they're doing the cleanup when I look I used to work
in the key food on Long Island when the pickles dropped it takes a little while
to mop everything okay so it's going well
he's on message I got to be totally candid it's nice to see him on other
networks because you got to get him outside of his style box he's a
television star and so let's get him out there I think Bill's probably helping
him do that bill shine and listen we're gonna tit and Tad here people are upset
with the president for some of the bellicosity of his rhetoric but it's
very hard to be upset with this president as it relates to his policy we
can go one tick at a time through policy he's actually done a great job and as it
relates to Russia you got to get the president huge credit that he's meeting
with Vladimir Putin and he's trying to de-escalate tension with Russia which
has escalated since 2014 and the whole Crimea situation so so for me I think
it's going better I think he's got to get if he if he could just marry the
policy initiatives and the execution of those policies with great communication
a lot of this stuff will be done with the presidents my hurt may hurt our
ratings here but a lot of it will be dialed back well and smoother stuff is
probably not as good for ratings the president says the media wants this
confrontation okay late in his now third time trying to
clarify those comments this morning the president tweeting this first tweet the
fake news media wants so badly to see a major confrontation with Russia even a
confrontation that could lead to war they are pushing so recklessly hard and
hate the fact that I'll probably have a good relationship with Putin we are
doing much better than any other country that's an expression he's upset with the
attacks on him I think he's a contrary and by nature and he wants to build a
good relationship of Lattimore Putin and he did say it's 90% of the nuclear
arsenals at around the world are controlled by these two countries and so
I think it's usually important for him to have that relationship
stylistically I was very open about this the press conference could have gone
better stylistically he needed to reverse course on what he was saying
there he did make it happen um you know I think what happened is he's a gracious
guy he probably had a very tough meeting with him behind closed doors where he
was let him have it a little bit and when he got up to the the podium he
wanted to be gracious and so he's prone to do that and so if he had calibrated
and this is not his personality style but even calibrated three or four sound
bites or three or four sentences and he had said something like hey listen I got
to go with my team on this your team's telling you didn't do it my team's
telling me I did do it I mean that you guys did do it and so listen I can't do
it again something like that it would have been a lot easier and so he he made
it get but let me tell you something he's traveling all over the world
he's countless hours on aircraft lots of intense meetings you have to expect
people to sometimes miss state things and so I'm very happy that he walked it
back and he is tough on Merkel stuff on NATO tough he's a man he's he's tough on
them because he thinks he has a great relationship with them and so what
happens in a situation like that is I'm tough on my brother David because we
have a great relationship and we know that we love each other and we're gonna
be together okay he knows he's gonna have a great relationship with the
German people and Chancellor Merkel and prime minister may and so he's tough on
them because he's trying to tell them listen the trading imbalances here are
actually bad for the world if we go to a reduced parity world I'm sorry sorry sir
become more parity reduced trade tower of world it's way better for the
American economy way better for your economy and so these trade imbalances
he's a negotiator he's a real estate developer by training and so he's tough
on them but people are taking that as a wrong sign that he's trying to break up
the alliance he's trying to strengthen the alliance and sometimes when you grow
up in New York you're tough on the people that you love and you're tough on
the people that you know you're the closest to and so I think that's also
being misinterpreted by the intelligence itself he just doesn't
the people who gave him the intelligence cuz he doesn't believe what they did and
in fact he said it pretty much in the CBS interview go ahead and we'll sound
by this number three guys this is with Jeff Glor laughs not on CBS certainly in
the past it's been terrible you look at Brennan you look at clapper you look at
Hayden you look at Comey certainly I can't have any confidence in the past
but I can have a lot of confidence in the present and the future last part is
critical for him going forward that message some guys you know that there
was some weaponization that went on there was some politicization of our
agencies and now that's saying it's the entire agencies but at the tippy-top
there was definitely people did not want President Trump to become present and
that was pretty obvious you just look at the text messages the email traffic the
argument that he's in with James Comey I think all of that's pretty obvious and I
think but however the rank-and-file people in the intelligence services the
rank-and-file people in the FBI the president loves those people I think
it's very very clear that he loves those people but he's a little miffed that the
way the tippy-top people that were politicized were going after him and so
he's saying the right things he's saying hey listen I've got my team in there now
I believe our intelligence gathering agencies and I've got my team in it or
that I trust and so going forward I think it's gonna be way better you got
to wonder what this means for the future of the FBI I mean there's reports out
there that Christopher Ray the head of the FBI is considered walking away
through all of this and and here he is actually addressing all the criticism
that that his agency faces why would they prefer not to get criticized of
course we defer not get criticized but at the end of the day the criticism that
we care about is a criticism of people from people who actually would know us
or work so the day juries don't trust us that I care about mm-hmm listen I mean I
I get were director Ray's coming from and I think that and I've said this and
so I don't mind saying it here let's dial it back let's knock it off a little
bit take it down I think I think the president and the president knows that
he's a very smart guy he's a very good communicator we're in a rough and tumble
situation around the world old we we need to dial it back a little
bit on the tariff situation I would argue that we need to bring the
Europeans together with us and work on the Chinese dilemma I wrote an op-ed
about that in the FT last week I would also argue that you've got your team in
place now at the FBI and these other places I know you're miffed about what
happened but let's go forward okay the spirit of forgiveness on both sides I
think is super important because the American people are tired of the
polemics the American people are tired of the tension it's adding stress to
people's lives when it shouldn't be the economy is flourishing the president's
policies have been amazing on the economy he's been it's been amazing on
the border it's been amazing you know I didn't agree with the child separation
policy but the tightening of the border has taken the slack out of labor markets
that's the reason why the African American unemployment and the Hispanic
American unemployment has tightened up and it's the lowest that it is you're
starting to see that pivot the economy over the last two days an amazing jobs
push any unforced error yeah there's a jobs push now there's a tax push can
they make that pivot now and put all this behind them by the way ray said
it's not a witch hunt yeah at that press conference there yeah or that interview
rather well you know I think I think the world president's saying it's a witch
hunt because he knows he didn't do anything wrong
ray saying it's not a witch hunt because apparently people on the periphery no
president said that on monday distinction there i I do but he should
have said hey you know you guys been messing with me for a year and a half
and there's nothing there there's no collusion so why should I believe the
information you're giving me now and and you're trying to take it away from me
meaning the election victory that I had and I'm not gonna let you do that I
thought Rob Portman made a great point the other day from Ohio he said you won
Ohio by eight points I don't know if anybody predicted that priority election
I mean it was breaking for Trump in the final weeks there in Ohio but eight
points is a huge victory in Ohio you don't need Wisconsin you don't need
Michigan when you've got the Buckeye State or an election like that he sounds
like he's from Ohio right saying stuff like that but let me tell you here's
another thing great about the president if the president was up 60 nothing in
the fourth quarter of the game he's gonna play like he's down seven okay
that's what I love about the president he left everything on the field during
that campaign he's gonna leave everything on the field for the American
people during his press see but I think you're making an
interesting point I think the president has to start to separate the two things
don't conflate the collusion issue which we all know they didn't collude with the
meddling and the insertion of the Russians into the election process
separate the two because that's not going to deal egde it amaze your
electoral success they've been in our face if you will for since 1920
they've meddled in every single election and so let you won the election fair and
square you're a total winner as it relates to this process you're gonna win
re-election and the economy's humming along and you're doing all the right
things so let's dial back and let's tighten up the communication let's have
tighter communication discipline get the messaging out so it's clear and let's
see if we can end the war on the media I don't like the war on the media I just
think it's a bad thing when Bannen declared war on the media at CPAC in
February of 2017 is like that's a disaster for the president that's not in
the president's best interests go out on the other networks express yourself
because this tweet this morning number two I understand that the fake news
media is going crazy writes the president this morning they make up
stories without any backup sources or proof many of the stories written about
me and the good people surrounding me our total fiction writes the president
problem is when you complain you just give them more publicity but I'll
complain anyway it's still the case with this president look I mean you know he's
gonna complain anyway is this nature of who he is I've had bad stories written
about me Sandra that I haven't liked and some of it has frankly been very untrue
but having said that going from a adversarial relationship and going from
a disagreement and recognizing that there's bad actors in every industry
especially politics and having a war declaration I think is very bad because
once you're in a war declaration then you got the nonsense that's going on in
the press room and then you get the nonsense going on in Air Force one with
the press and let's dial it back okay and I think we can do that okay I think
I think we have to smoke a peace pipe get them get the information out there
fairly in a balanced way and then people can relax and then look
at the president's record am I dreaming I may be dream but you know I'm a
persistent guy you know I'm one part power key to one part would what is that
I'm gonna keep repeating myself over and over
I'm gonna continue to peck at your head National Geographic on par parakeet one
part wood pad to our viewers at home check out Fox news.com
gendered politic line tear is this Trump knows more about
dealing with bad guys and Congress hysterical media combined I think that's
kind of what you're referring to in your first answer question but you're looking
at midterms now less than four months away yeah what do you think the republic
howie as a communications director eleven days thank you for saying eleven
like hey my anniversary is coming up okay it's gonna be a big day okay I'm
throwing a big party hey package the message for the Republicans in these
districts across the country to hold the house how do they do the Republican
strategy on the economy is winning the the strategies leading to greater job
security and more wages and the president's executing a very good by and
large diplomatic strategy tension is going to be doubt back around the world
and he's eventually going to get the trade situation right and stick with our
agenda because by and large your life is getting better the holistic aspic of
your life is getting better and and by the way get the big kahuna out there get
him out on the campaign trail because what we find when he's out there he can
draw the crowds he can bring people into the area and he's a winner and by the
way if you're a Republican and you're a never Trump or don't say think bad about
the guy because let me tell you what's gonna happen to you you're gonna say
something bad about the guy and you're gonna lose Trump supporters on the
margin and you lose your district so don't say anything bad about the
president that's how I built skybridge okay just back on the side of the head
until the money comes out come on
