Staff and john kelly takes the reins in the west wing. a new day and a brand-new hour of america s newsroom in new york. i m shannon bream. bill: hello. monday we re waking up. i m bill hemmer. good morning. on the hill the focus is on tax reform as republicans shift gears after their failure on obamacare. last hour here in america s newsroom the chairman of the house ways and means committee kevin brady, the man leading this charge on tax reform, says it has been a long time coming. august is about making the direct case and listening to the american people, not only in our town halls and round tables but we ll go to the reagan ranch mid-month. 31 years since president reagan delivered on tax reform. we ll make the case back home and across the country. bill: we have team fox coverage. david bossie standing by with reaction at the white house but we begin with mike emanuel back
bill: terrifying scene from germany. 100 people the fire and rescue crews had to use a crane to reach everyone. repelling those on board down to the ground. that s a job well done. thankfully everybody on board was okay. no one injured. shannon: violence on the streets of venezuela. check it out. people there outraged after an election that could give the country s president unlimited power. u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley tweeting this saying the sham election is another step toward dictatorship. we won t except an illegitimate government. the venezuela people and democracy will prevail. we re live in miami following the story. tell us about the outrage. horrible on the scenes in
Time? it s a big shake-up. it gets thrown around a lot. we heard conway say we re on the same team. the problem is the white house hasn t acted like its members are on the same time. this is one of the things that general kelly will have to get ahold of. more people may be asked to leave and one thing one of the reasons anthony scaramucci was brought in as well. bill: scaramucci made a large splash with an interview without retraction word for word. mike huckabee says you can t trust anything. you have to state it s off the record. he shared this earlier. there is no such thing as off the record, not in politics. every morning you wake up you need to look in the mirror and say to yourself the press is not my friend. the press is not my friend. keep repeating it no matter how
The investigative front. there will be financial crimes that will be prosecuted criminally. i think that s just window dressing. what was he doing with this money? he has connections to a hezbollah-linked character in iraq. sending money to pakistan. i think there will be more than just the financial crimes on its face. in the house of representatives we have to investigate how our systems may have been compromised and it will require putting people in the chair. bill: he said a lot in that answer. let s back up and tell us where this story is now. where the story started and where it s gotten to now. congresswoman wasserman schultz. while she was a congresswoman employed at government expense an i.t. specialist in her office who was gathering information, as it turns out, and selling it to foreign nationals and foreign intelligence services. this is a felony.
Nice they may be to you. bill: he made the mistake by not saying it was off the record. no question it was a mistake but i have gotten dozens of calls from republicans and democrats over the years, anchors who have unloaded in sometimes salty language, scaramucci-type language with the understanding that they are talking to me off the record and i m not going to publish it and i ll say are we saying this for the record? how are we talking here? what has been overlooked in all this. it wasn t an interview it was venting. what has been overlooked is scaramucci is doing what the president wants. unlike spicer and priebus. he has donald trump s confidence. when he attacked reince priebus no one pushed back. for all the bill: why are you suggesting in the past as a report why was it different this time do you think?
