Was going to step down to clear the decks for Anthony Scaramucci to build a communications team. Today, the white house cleared the decks again. It ranks the shortest ranks in white house history. After ten days on the job, Anthony Scaramucci is out as White House Communications director. It was john kelly who asked for scaramucci to go after a profanitylaced interview scaramucci thought was off the record became public last week. The president certainly felt that anthonys comments were inappropriate for a position in that position. And he didnt want to burden general kelly also with that line of concession. Scaramuccis removal is a sharp indicator of how much power he will have as staff. Swearing in kelly this morning. I predict general kelly will go down as chief of staff one of the great ever. As a senior military assistant, kelly is well versed in the ways of washington. President trump is banking that kellys military discipline can bring some order to a west wing by competing power centers. Trump what hes done in terms of Homeland Security is record shattering. You look at the border, you look at the tremendous results weve had, and you look at the spirit. And with a very controversial situation, theres been very little controversy, which is Pretty Amazing by itself. In a tweet the president dismissed the idea of a west wing in crisis saying there is no white house chaos. Insisting all the markers have been a Successful Administration are there. You look at stock markets, the highest it has ever been. Unemployment lowest in 17 years, companies are doing tremendously well. Still amid setbacks and Foreign Policy challenges. Among them. North koreas latest show of defiance firing off another Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. Well handle north korea. Were going to be able to handle them. It will be it will be handled. We handle everything. And now another Foreign Policy crisis as venezuelan president maduro consolidated power in an election u. S. Officials consider a sham. Today the National Security adviser and treasury secretary slapped new sanctions on maduro himself. We hope that these sanctions will make all maduro regime officials reconsider how their actions have asked affected the country. His predecessor Reince Priebus never enjoyed. Under priebus regime, several senior staffers had a direct line to the president and around him. Under kellys management, everyone in the west wing, including ivanka trump and Jared Kushner will report to kelly. David thank you. President trump insisting that the north korea will be handled. With displays of our military, but is it enough . Fox News Senior Foreign Affairs correspondent has our report. The pentagon is now calling north koreas latest launch of an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile its longest test yet. And thaticity it is prompting a u. S. Military response.

And successfully tested from a u. S. Based in alaska, the antiBallistic Missile system set to be deployed in south korea. Short of launching a war, important moves to move against north korea threatening the u. S. We have got to focus on defense. The actions of kim jongun also triggering a global war of words during his current european trip, Vice President pence let go of this, though. The president of the United States is leading a coalition of nations to bring the pressure to bear under at times north korea will permanently abandon its nuclear and Ballistic Missile programming. One of those nations threatened by north Korea Missiles following a phone conversation with President Trump today, japanese Prime Minister abe also banged the drum. Under the strong unity of u. S. And japan, we all have a tangible action regarding military measures to improve our capability and take every caution in the face of north koreas threat. And as china rolled out its military this weekend for the army day parade, also defending itself against charges it is not reigning in north korea. U. S. Ambassador to the Un Nikki Haley tweeted. Done talking about north korea. China is aware they must act. Japan and south korea must increase pressure, not only a u. S. Problem. It will require an impartial solution. We just hope that the other countries can see that they also need to take up their responsibilities in comprehensive the relevance security counsel resolutions. If its any consolation, newly analyzed video shows the nose cone of the icbm burning up, not surviving reentry. Experience, however, pyongyang will keep trying. David thank you very much. Well, russia continues to fire back at the u. S. For stepped up sanctions. Russian president Vladimir Putin announcing he will force the u. S. To cut 755 people from its diplomatic staff. The move coming as the white house prepares to sign another round of sanctions into law. Fox news correspondent Kristen Fisher has our report.

We have waited quite a long time and that something might change for the better. We had hoped that the situation will somehow change. But apparently, if it changes, it wont be soon. This fight the diplomatic today the Vice President said that the Trump Administrations preference remains a constructive relationship. Russia. America is open to a better relationship with russia. But the president and our congress are unified in our message. A better relationship and the lifting of sanctions will require russia to reverse the actions they cause the sanctions to be imposed in the first place. But the president s remain aware that russia will ever reverse course and worry moscow will make a move like it did in ukraine. On this trip, they wanted the Vice President to reassure them that the u. S. Was still committed to natos article five, the mutual defense pledge. And today, thats exactly what they got.

David Anthony ScaramucciWhite House Communications director capping off a rocky tenday period that saw the resignation of both press Secretary Sean Spicer and chief of staff Reince Priebus. The new chief of staff general john kelly is expected to provide some muchneeded stability to the administration. The White House Press secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders today making it clear all roads to President Trump go through kelly. General kelly i think will bring a new structure to the white house and discipline and strength, and were all really excited to work with him. General kelly has the full authority to carry out business. All staff will report to the staff. Does that include Jared Kushner, does that include that everyone reports to kelly . That includes everyone in the white house. David hes the general. Joining us now to discuss health care and a lot more. Ed rollins who served in three president ial administrations, chief adviser of the House Republican leadership, the dean, and winning columnist. Both are fox news contributors. So, ed, what a difference. Today the weekend to just yesterday on the sunday talk shows, Kellyanne Conway was on saying she wasnt concerned who was reporting to whom, et cetera. It was so loosygoosy, you cant get anything done in a white house like that, can you . Ive served in three white house, i had access to the president whenever i wanted to, but i had to tell the chief of staff i wanted to have access to it. And the one reason is if theyre debating korea you dont want ed rollins, the political guy walking in right after that and saying dont worry about that. You have to have a consistency. I think general kelly will basically bring that discipline, youre not going to keep people out, but he basically will have an order and a process. David let me just ask you because youve been involved in hirings and firings inside the white house. Do you think there was this was a power was this all based on what scaramucci had told the new yorker . Or was this kind of a power move on the generals part to say i am in charge . Well, its both i think. I think, first of all, scaramucci is a friend. He basically was playing russian roulette with five shells in the gun. It wasnt a oneincident, it was several incidents, and i think at the end of the day the president had the religious right and others were very unhappy about this. I think walking in today saying this is unacceptable to me. You told this guy he could report directly to you. But just finish it off, and he finished it off. David michael, this is a genuine question. Could it be a turning point . I think it could be. I think getting rid of Anthony Scaramucci was no doubt one of the conditions. Under which he would take the job. But i think it works as a turning point first of all, i mean, theres the question of leaks. And i suspect that that problem will be solved now. I mean, there will be firing squads at dawn if you dont have leaks. And i think secondly, just the order. The sense that there is a purpose and a distinct process by which things get done. I mean, weve heard all of these stories of an open door oval office. People hanging around the hallways waiting to see the president on golf or something. So its got to be an orderly thing. Its a serious business. David and, by the way, the one word i hear over and over again with the general who of course not only liquidity himself brilliant as a military tactician in the field, but he also lost his son in afghanistan. He was killed there. Also a marine. He has gravitas. Personal gravitas. And so does the president at times. But at times, hes the opposite of that. I mean, is he going to center more on president ial demeanor . First to michael. Well, i think donald trump wants to be a successful president. He is right now on a course to be a failing president. And i think this has gotten his attention. I think he recognizes the severity of the pinch he is in with members of his own party in congress. David okay. I cut you off. Go ahead. No. No. No in the marine core. My sons a marine, so i know it well. When you get a star in the marine core. You get a star in the marine core, you have to go to combat, you have to be able to walk on water. You get a second or a third. And if you get the fourth, you really are an allstar. David i have to speak my son was just promoted to mastery sergeant. A Gunnery Sergeant is one of the marines that can tell a colonel theyre making a mistake. Its that kind of addressing of the commanderinchief that we need right now, isnt it . Look, i think that what so many good things are happening in this white house. But theyre often overshadowed by th the president s tweets by chaos. I mean, scaramucci hijacked the news flow for two days. David but false scandal is being uncovered. And real quickly. Theres nothing there when democrats cant attack the president for it. And we had this tremendous testimony last week showing that fusion gps had been used by Donald Trumps associates, or assumed it was, in order to attack donald trump. Doesnt look like collusion between trump and russia now. Its between democrats and russia. All the chaos going on in the world today, you watch the news, and you see pakistan falling apart, you see venezuela falling apart, you see the north korean situation, you see the middle east always in terror. I want us to focus on those things in the future. What happened in the last election, i just want to make sure it doesnt happen again. And democrats and republicans, all of us should move on.
