i mean, look, brian i appreciate the clinton pivot. i respect what you do and how you do it. you and i are going to disagree. scaramucci said there could be leaks coming from the white house communication shop. let s play the clip for those that didn t see it. tomorrow, i ll have a meeting with incommunication staff and say, hey, i don t like these leaks. we ll stop the leaks. if we don t stop the leaks, i m going to stop you. it s just really that simple. bravo. do you think that s true that there have been leaks from inside? here s what i m going to tell you. i think our job at the white house is fwhaut not about to si read about ourselves. i would get much better press coverage if i was good at that. folks working overtime for them and not the president. whether they re inside or outside the white house. i am interested in getting timely information out to
show later. that s not baseless allegation, but there is a chokepoint on the information here. reporters need their questions answered, this needs to improve. it needs to improve for both sides in this equation. jon: are you making predictions as to how the communication shop will change in the white house? a lot of scrutiny is going to shift to the white house chief of staff. spicer was his that guy, trump has pretty successfully marginalized his own chief of staff. with the repeated questions about priebus, is he up to the job, polling, guests at his country club in florida about whether he ought to fire priebus. he s never left his chief of staff and a particularly strong
that we want the mic lost over 1,000 people on that shift, so this was a huge moment of leadership for a commander in chief, and at the very end, a question appeared to be shouted about what happened today with the changes in the white house with it this white house press secretary quitting abruptly. he said only make america great again. back to you. clearly, the president hopes to get back on track now with the messaging. this really all started the needs that to james, he was fired, the president expected his communication shop to whip up an appropriate response within the space of about 45 minutes to an hour or so, the president often feels poorly served by those around him if he doesn t get the instant response that he wants. but having known scaramucci for the song and knowing that scaramucci will likely set up a cot in his office and never leave here, the president has deftly got someone on board who will put his full attention on getting the president s message out. harri
and be on the same page as the president. again, this is just one snap shot from one person. but, again, somebody who has been critical at least to me, of the communication shop. questioning in light of what we ve seen over the last couple of days whether or not this will make any difference for how this white house is able to function. or communicate going forward. thank you for that. nicole wallace, before we lose you, i wanted to check back in with you. you know how white houses work. and as long as the president is going to call his own shots and bring the new york times in for an open ended meeting without a transcript from the press shop, what s going to change, if anything? well, i don t think anything is going to change. i think the president i think that s a mistake we keep making. we ve been making it for two years. it isn t coming. it isn t going to happen. he s now openly talking about asking questions and trying to become better informed about the
i m hoping they will think about some of the questions you have been raising with tom price. you know, what about the patient? what s best for the patient? and that s free markets. he seemed to feel that the bill in its current form does address the issues that are most important to patients today. price was excellent. i thought he ought to be out there every day basically being the seller of this. no one else is being the seller of it. he s very effective having been a doctor as chairman of both the budget and health committee. and i would have him out every day making his points. the problem is it s not being sold. i think to a certain extent if there s any deficiency in this white house, it s been the communication shop. they have a lot of other things distracting them. there s nothing more important in the next two or three weeks than this. you are right, the messaging is so critical. dr. price can speak to the medicals a effect. medical aspect. you have to talk about the
