transgressions, the kind that have proven so harmful and that kelly can overrule him on the more harmful ones made, for example, the firing of james comey is going to take quite a while for us to see if that is actually the case. let s go back to the white house. the i m sorry, we ll go there in a moment. we were supposed to have a briefing at 3:45 with sarah huckabee sanders. we were wondering why it was set for 3:45. that s substantially later than it normally is. it s normally at the end of the 1:00 or 2:00 eastern hour. it could have been it was because this story about scaramucci was developing. and you can see a live picture there. reporters are getting ready to talk to their respective channels or networks about it. but no sarah huckabee sanders yet. this is now seven or eight minutes late. they have been working on getting their story together about what they ll do.
general kelly you now have adults who are now running the country as poe posed to the children that we have witnessed over the last six months. and i would hope that general kelly is somehow can counsel the biggest child in the white house this president donald trump. why am i saying that? you look at the comments he has made, you look at his vulgar language and how he has basically not acting presidential. you need someone who can say, look, respect this office. you are to act like the president. scaramucci was ridiculous. the 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

he probably had some conditions coming into this it and one of them were i m going to make some of these decisions. let me go to stephanie rule whoa is on the phone with us. so let s just walk through this. when anthony scaramucci was on the podium not this last week, last friday, he said i am not starting for a few weeks. i want to be conflict free. sky bridge was not yet sold. it s still not. hna, the chinese con grom rate had shown an interest, had a bin for this company for months. reince priebus was one of the people who brought an issue up to the president months ago saying there s some hair on this deal. there are concerns, there are issues there, people saying a company like this could be interested at sky bridge, at this kind of price, because it s to curry favors. now, that is one of the reasons anthony sort of got blocked months ago. anthony was then brought back in by the president. but the diesel still hadn t closed. in order for sky bridge to be sold, you have to get
to hang her hat and her annualy renovated all white officials next to somebody who had a call look the one he did with a reporter last thursday? the stars just don t seem to align for anthony. all right. stand by. for those who are just joining us, anthony scaramucci is out as white house communications director. ten days after being announced as the white house communications director. in that briefing room right now as we await a 3:45 prels conference is peter alexander from our white house team. peter, what have you got? it s a conversation worth raising another question that now comes to the forewhich is what happens to sean spicer, the former press secretary, formerly the communications director, who said he would be leaving this administration and his conversation with the president he said he didn t believe he didn t want to he said he didn t have the communications chopts to take over this job so sean spicer said he would stick around until the middle of august to try t
