Stuck at the same stoplights with everyone else. the biggest mistake he made is the fox news interview. it happens one of two ways. either the principal says i need my voice out there to defend myself. or a not helpful staffer says your voice needs to be out there to define things. thats how these things happen. the coms team needs to get a hold on things and have him step back. >> speaking of having your voice out there, in spite of pruitts problems, his boss seems unphased. heres the president...

Other people who need an offramp, but have to find a good reason to get out. >> at a certain point, theyre all undermining their own credibility by continuing to work for this person. he makes them do really -- like degrading the lies that, especially the coms team has to do. thats going to make it tough to take you seriously ever again in your career, i dont know where sean spicer is going to wind up, but whoever he has as clients, they have to know he doesnt come with a ton of credibility, we ...

President for the meeting. there is no diplomatic strategy for how were going to tell foreign partners. theres no legislative strategy for how youre going to alert congress. yet wilbur ross department in the late hours of wednesday evening cobble together an e-mail to say this is what were doing. and that then gets leaked out, to your point, that theres a meeting about to happen. its really important to note, no one at the state department, the treasury department or the department of defense kn...

Perhaps that requires trust in his coms team. but tweet smarter. >> i think theres something to that. you can use twitter to help advance your message. that said, if youre like the coms team and youre tweeting out p.r., press releases all the time, nobody wants to read that, right? one of the reasons why he has been successful, harlan, on twitter is because hes authentic. >> thats the word for it. sometimes its not as polished as we might like. in the past, running cam pains, ive taken the twitt...

Priebus and steve bannon. >> who leaked that to you. >> oh, man, i cant tell you that. i cant tell you that. >> okay im just going to -- what im going to do is i will eliminate everybody in the coms team and well start over. its no problem. thats all. so, i asked these guys not to leak anything and they cant help themselves so well eliminate everybody. so somebody in the coms team leaked that to you? okay, but youre an american citizen. this is a major catastrophe for the american country, so im...

Combat with him to publicly shame him, all this tension stays and all the leaking continues. >> tone comes from the town. thats the point a.b. is making. this is all about mimicking the presidents own memes and actions. trying to shame his internal, not enemies but challengers. what scaramucci may have done to priebus last night mimics what the president is doing to jeff sessions on twitter. none of it is healthy, none of it is normal. none of it speaks to leadership that puts a cohesive team on...

Under confidence plus insecurity always equals paranoia and back stabbing. so what you have to do as a manager is you have to go through the process and the system and figure out where the back stabbing is coming from. that will lead you to the people that are insecure or under confident. if you cant bolster them and make them better, then you have to remove them from the process because then it becomes addition by subtraction. thats what i know. >> understood. >> so i dont want to talk about an...

Impossible to get rid of every leak, but i think we can take dramatic steps to get rid of leaks. one of the big problems im discovering in the coms team are that senior guys are the ones doing the leaking and asking junior people to leak for them. im proud to be reporting to the president so i can hermetically seal off these leaks. >> a.b. stoddard, you have a white house that says its constantly distracted by the media. it just constructed this massive distraction. the president wants to be the...

Went to the fbi to investigate priebus for leaks. skruch deleted the tweet over two hours later calling reports that he was going after priebus wrong, although lizza stands by his reporting. hours earlier scaramucci told fox news he believes the leaks are coming from the top. >> one of the big problems im discovering in the comes team is senior people are doing the leaks. they ask junior people to leak for them. im proud to be reporting directly to the president so i can hermetically seal off th...

Be engaged less. i think the good news in all this, and i disagree with alex, is he has a very good team, including a very good coms team around him, as he faces the questions around what the special counsel is doing. i think he needs to listen to them. i think hes got top-notch talent there, and i think that he needs to just keep plodding away at his agenda like he did in miami. alex is right, it doesnt get as much national coverage. but if you look at the miami coverage and south florida cover...
