Anthony. it related to secret information, but -- and i didnt ask him about that when i was talking to him last night, but it does appear his conversations with the justice department resulted in a statement about leaks. >> right. >> can i one up your extraordinary? >> heres the bottom line. youre never going to stop leaks while you have competing power centers inside the white house. >> yeah, thats right. >> what you need to do is have a white house that has one agenda. and i think scaramucci w...

>> not thousands but an establishment of people that surprised me when we talked about reince and spicer. >> and the white house said oh, by the way, my chief of staff is ivanka trump. >> thats a gray area -- >> listen, were six months in. so you go through iterations. sometimes things dont work out and you replace. thats what donald trump is doing. finding out what works and what doesnt work. sean spicer didnt work. maybe reince doesnt either. he will find out and make the changes. >> i talked ...

Would be a terrible move. what would you say to this president about hi very public comments about his attorney general? >> theyre hurting him. i think i heard on your show earlier listening in the earpiece what you played back with regard to what lindsey graham said. i think lindseys statement is accurate. there would be hell to pay, real consequences. i think sessions has more than a considerable following in the senate and more importantly with conservatives at large in this country. an the i...

Considerations. the only considerations should be the relevant facts and the evidence. is there credible evidence that theres been a violation of the law? if so, the attorney general should proceed. but not under pressure from the president. otherwise, what would be the next step? if this doesnt work, if the attorney general is still being criticized by the president, then should he go after hillary clinton, should he prosecute her? again, this constitutes an abuse of power, an attempt to interf...
