People, god and country, and say here i am. this is my name and this is what i believe. i dont think, chris, in my opinion, you should try to have it both ways. you should try to say, well, im indispensable, and therefore im going to remain anonymous, but at the same time, im going to criticize my boss. even if its justified, and i dont know whether its justified or not. >> fair point. i get the having it both ways point. fair point. how about how the president is handling this? if it is a nothi...

In both chambers in congress and also of course the white house. we all know that. and so i guess to see it from a different way, craig, doesnt the president have a point here with the tweets, again bringing up, you know, health care and the seven years but to his point, republicans had seven years to come up with a battle plan and they didnt, at least not a successful one that worked. >> well, they had seven years to talk about it. but they have only had a few months with a republican president...

Point two in terms of making all of these announcements about whos doing what to whom, somebody ought to check the water in the white house, because folks there seem to grow anxious when they have an unexpressed thought. >> hard to argue with that. look, were laughing about this, but in some ways its not funny. its anthony scaramuccis first week on the job and everybody gets an adjustment period. i think maybe he might get six months or so, should have had his in quiet. not on cable television. ...
