thank you for having me. first and foremost i d like to say sean gave me my first job in politics, and i will always be grateful that he took a chance on me and similarly i thank him for serving our country. i think it s important to stop and take a moment and thank those who have stepped forward to serve in any administration for their service. that said, you know, i think yesterday we saw mr. scaramucci did an excellent job in the briefing, you saw tweets from the left and right and the media everybody saying he did tremendously well. i think we are looking well positioned in terms of the white house communications shop to move forward and focus on the issues that matter to the president s agenda. lauren, i that i you make a great point. i think we all know sean, show video of him smiling ear to ear. i think he is probably one of the happiest people in america waking up today knowing there s a fresh start. bill we know this has been a tough job for sean spicer, death
after the media, in the fact trying to go after the truth we just think of ourselves as being self-righteous, and that we ve got some mission. so my question is, to you, about average americans, do you think they re paying attention, that this stuff really resonates with them or to lauren s point that they re more concerned about jobs, their wallets, safety. well, first of all, yes, americans are most concerned about things that affect them personally, no doubt about it, about their jobs, about their kids education, about their health care, by the way, about their health care for only 17% of americans support this senate health care plan and yet this is president trump s first priority and the republicans first priority. you ve got to wonder if they re listening to the american people, but let me put it this way, thomas. i think that it s true. president trump s base, and he said it best, they don t care if he went on to fifth avenue and shot somebody, they would still support him.
he wanted to bring some new folks in to help rev up the communications operation. my decision was to recommend the president i give anthony and sarah a clean slate to start from, so that they can talk about the president s agenda and help move it forward. so there we have sean spicer, the outgoing white house press secretary in his first interview since his resignation was announced. i bring in lauren zelp and bill press, nationally syndicated radio talk show host and author. lauren, let me begin with you. good morning. this shakeup, also the shakeup for the president s legal team does it look like the trump team needs a reset? president trump is worried about something. well good morning.
