Like the inner circle was similar to the reality show survivor. Well, he is the latest head to roll in this shakeup at the white house just over a week after being White House Communications director. Fox news confirmed that he is out. Sources telling the New York Times first quote the decision to remove mr. Scaramucci came at the request of the new chief of staff. Now, thats yet to be confirmed. But if so, general john kelly, the man who just this morning was sworn in and welcomed by President Trump to replace Reince Priebus who was in that position and with whom Anthony Scaramucci had a long, brewing feud took the reigns. We do want to mention, of course, this very decorated general kelly from the marines now takes command almost immediately. Hes former Homeland Security secretary, and he is now President Trumps right and left hand man. He is very decorated, as i mentioned, and hes tasked with putting a spit shine on a team that has had a lot of trouble following the chain of command and coordinating an effective message for the First Six Months of the president s team term. Were expected to hear from the president , and i believe that should be any moment now. We do have the set up. As we see, you can see some of the military people getting ready to honor a true war hero. An agentleman who served as a medic in the vietnam war, highest military honor will be awarded, and that is the medal of honor for his heroic actions in vietnam way back in 1969. Were going to take you to that solemn ceremony as soon as it happens. But in the meantime we are focusing on this breaking news about Anthony Scaramucci. And as we take a look at the details that just happened, Charlie Gasparino who has been getting all kinds of information on this. First to you, adam. What is the white house saying if anything right now . Nothing official yet. We are waiting on the statement. But you should know we were asking this morning before john kelly was sworn in as chief of staff, liz. We were asking who does Anthony Scaramucci report to. Does he report to President Trump . Or will he report to john kelly . Well, we now know that in the form of communications director, he wont be at all. But the next question is has he left the white house all together . Thats a key question that has not yet been answered. Is he still somehow advising the Trump Administration . Does he still have the ear of the president . Or is he off the grounds all together . Were going to try to get that answer at the press briefing at 3 45. Liz big smile on his face at the moment in the east room as you see he now holds the reigns, and it will be fascinating to see if a, the leaks stop. B, the fear taps down just a bit because apparently there are has been so much fear among the lower ranking staff and certainly the higher ranking staff. I want to bring in Charlie Gasparino. Okay. Now the question becomes the way it was phrased, at least if the New York Times is he has been removed from the position of communications director. Charlie, does he go back to what he came in as, which was sort of head of the xm bank. Not head of it but i believe at least a liaison. Yeah. And also he was up for an ambassadorship. Listen, maybe. I will tell you this as someone who has but they with anthony in the past, friends with him as well, this is a very, very talented guy. He was in the absolute wrong job. I said it to you. I said it to neil cavuto. I thought he did a horrible job coming out because liz let me interrupt you, charlie. We just got the statement from the office of the press secretary. That, of course, would be secretary Huckabee Sanders. Quote Anthony Scaramucci will be leaving his role as the White House Communications director. Mr. Scaramucci felt it was best to give chief of staff john kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team. We wish him all the best. Charlie, that almost reads like what people said about sean spicer. Yeah. I dont think so. I think listen, heres the thing. Liz well, the whole clean slate thing. Yes. Yes. Yes. And the it would be interesting to see listen, that last statement that he gave was so that interview that he gave with the new yorker, you know, angered a lot of people inside the trump white house. It also angered steve bannon, im telling you. Stevsteve bannon, the Senior Adviser very powerful. If you have steve bannon, general kelly not wanting you around and steve bannon not wanting you around, well, guess what . You see the writing on the wall. And plus, you have family issues that you might have to deal with which our prayers go out to him. Its a difficult situation. You know, that is thats a good time to step down. I will say this. This is a talented guy, and, again, he should have been in a different job. That Communications Job was he was set up to fail if you know him. Liz well, its almost shakespearean, adam, as they said about lady macbeth. Her ambition leaps itself. I hope thats the right quote. If youre going to quote shakespeare, liz. What was the line, you know, stand not on the order of your going but go at once . I mean, theyre leaving this thing faster than they left the dinner in macbeth. The people leaving the white house. But the key question here charlie was asking is Anthony Scaramucci somehow still connected to the white house . He was a very strong defender of the president that First Press Conference people were talking about how well he had done. And then the new yorker article came out, and hitting a brick wall. Liz yeah, and, charlie, we do want to mention as well that as were looking at all of the developments as soon as the event begins for this medal of honor to a very, very brave medic who saved ten different lives, even as he was hit on the battlefield in vietnam. We will take that as soon as possible. And, charlie, did you see thats the back of sean spicers head. The former spokesman. Liz spokesman. Maybe hell come back now that anthonys out. That will be interesting. And its possible in this administration. I will say this again. If you think anthony is the reason why theres dysfunction in this white house or sean spicer or Reince Priebus, its not. Its because of the guy at the top who, you know, instilled this sort of culture of, you know, insanity from day one and, you know, who basically created people competing against each other without some sort of of a formal line of command where the chief of staff would normally herd all the cats. He had all of these different people reporting to him and Reince Priebus did not have that sort of power. And, you know, that having that sort of putting people against each other in many ways breeds the outburst you see from a very, very aggressive guy like scaramucci last week. Hes an aggressive guy. Almost breeds it. Its as if trump is telling him to do it, and then he does it, and then he finds himself in a hole. And im telling you. The guys talented. They should put him in a different job with the business community. Hes worth having around. Take it from me. And, you know, but this job, he was not qualified for. Not and it he wasnt unqualified. He was not qualified just from a liz well, i dont know, charlie. From a standpoint of his inner being, hes much more of a fighter and a pusher and a liz okay. But can i push back. Yes. Liz you and i have been super Close Friends with Anthony Scaramucci. I agree with you on many, many points. Hes very, very intelligent. Right. Liz i called him a Bridge Builder as recently as ten days ago before the whole new yorker thing. But to say its not that he wasnt qualified. Charlie, you dont call it the new yorker, start screaming and have all kinds of outbursts with the f bomb and c bomb. No. I meant thats. Liz thats not communication director. Hes qualified intellectually, hes qualified liz if he were, he wouldnt have done that. No. My point is hes not qualified emotionally for that job. That was the point i was trying to make. Liz thank you for clarifying. Kevin scott is a gop strategist. Both sides of the aisle here. Give us a sense of what happened here and what your thoughts are now what the perception is of whats going on inside the white house now that you have a marine general in charge. Yeah. I think a new day in the white house. I mean, this morning President Trump tweeted that the white house is not in chaos. I think any objective measure says the white house is in chaos. That being said, general kelly, this is a quick action that immediately shows that he is going to at least do his best to start getting things in order. To align the message to make sure whats coming out of the white house is consistent and coherent. And i think that whether regardless of which side of the aisle you are on, we should breathe a sigh of relief because general kelly being in charge means things are going to be better out of this administration. Theres no question. Liz i would agree. But cristy, is the hall watertight now . Meaning no more leaks, no more scandals, no more drama. I dont know. Shakeups . Is this over for at least the time being . No one man, even if hes a general, is that powerful. Youve seen an unrelenting string of just utter chaos from day one in this administration. And you can either see scaramuccis firing as one more example of that chaos. Because, of course, now hes going to have to be replaced. Or you can see it, you know, as you guys are and as i might as well, actually. As finally the first right thing thats being done here; right . Because it was so obvious, especially to those of us who work in communication that you cant do that. But if you were not fired for Something Like that, then theres something liz lets go forward because scaramucci for now is not a playa as our kids often say. But adam shapiro, to what happened well before scare maturey came onboard, and that was sort of this russian roulette drama, and, again, i want to have everybodys attention on the lefthand side of the screen because it will start for james, who is the man from the vietnam war era who will receive the medal of honor from President Trump. But back to this, adam. Looking at the issue with james comey being fired and then Rod Rosenstein being lotted and put in place to carry this issue forward and now the president says hes from baltimore, hes not even a republican. There arent many republicans in baltimore. And then the mueller investigation. Yeah. Well, Charlie Gasparino and im sorry to keep quoting charlie because i dont do it often. But he has pointed out two things that are going on here. First, youve got donald trump who is responsible for some of the chaos that weve experienced over the last almost 200 days. But the other issue is the message. And could people deliver on the goals of this president and his administration . Reince priebus could not do that. Thats one of the reasons hes out. As for, you know, the russia investigation, those issues, thats certainly not the president s agenda. But staying on message and the message is tax reform, health care is the job of the chief of staff. Its also the job of the communications director, and its the did job of the press secretary to actually fight adam, its a job of the president too. Yeah. The president has taken knocks for not selling health care. You cannot blame Reince Priebus for this president s lack of messaging. I would say anthony was a distraction over the last week. You cant even blame him. This was a president that made bad situations worse. The question is does he listen to this new chief of staff or not . And, you know, we dont know. And i make one other thing. I think another big mistake that anthony made over the last week, he kept saying he was obsessed with the leaks. By the way, the leaks are not the problem for this white house. The problem is the lack of policy and the lack of well, the president doesnt stay on his own message. Liz let me just interrupt for a second, guys, because at any moment, we believe the president will come out to award james mclowin the medal of honor. He took multiple hits of shrapnel and other hits to save ten of his fellow army men in the platoon, and it is just an unbelievable moment to have a combat medic receive the medal of honor when that begins, i apologize in advance, gang, if we get interrupted, and i jump right in here. But Anthony Scaramucci has just apparently tweeted oh, thats from yesterday. Okay. Never mind. Let me just say this here that we do want to make it clear that i agree. Scaramucci is not the issue, but we are now hearing the music for the president , and thats the old video on the right of scaramucci because he has been removed from power and, guys, i do want to quickly also mention that general kelly who is now chief of staff is sitting next to the two who have been known as the top people next to President Trump and thats Steven Mnuchin treasury secretary and gary cohn, the economic adviser. Lets talk as the president walks in what do you think an event like this is sort of a reset button . Well, i think with all of the other things going on, its tough to see this as a reset. But it certainly gives President Trump the opportunity to look president ial and start to restore order. It also helps when you talk about general kelly. This focus on the military is something that President Trump really wants to be a signature of his administration. Liz President Trump as we mentioned is set to award this first medal of honor of his presidency. And let me give you a little bit more on the recipient of it. Hes former Army Specialist james and according to the white house risked his life nine to ten separate times to help rescue fellow u. S. Troops in vietnam. There he was an army medic running out. Hes the gentleman on the far left next to the president. He suffered multiple wounds, shrapnel, small arms fire, and on three of these occasions, he refused medical treatment and evacuation in order to stay with his unit to continue to aid and defending other wounded americans. A true hero here. Hes now 71 years old. He apparently lives in, i believe south haven, michigan. And this is interesting because its really ash carters first pick. Of course under president obama. He recommended him for the medal of honor last year, but there were previous rules that said recipients had to have it had to have been five years of the action. Well, they changed the rules, finally. Heres President Trump. Trump thank you very much. Please be seated. Thank you, chaplin hurley, secretary mnuchin, secretary mattis, secretary shulkin, senator, congressman upton, and members of the armed forces, thank you for joining us as we award our nations highest military honor to specialist five james c. Today, we pay tribute to a veteran who went above and beyond the call of duty to protect our comrades, our country, and our freedom. Joining jim today is his wife shari, his brothers mike and tom, his sons jamie and matt, and many other members of his very large and beautiful family. Were also gratified to be joined by eight previous medal of honor recipients. Now, jims name will stand forever alongside theirs in our history and in our hearts. I want to take a few minutes to tell you about jim and how he earned this place among legends. Jim was raised in bangor, michigan. His father built their house from scratch and worked 40 years at a piano factory. Jims dad taught him a simple but powerful lesson. Never do anything halfway. Always do your best. Jim took that lesson very much to heart. He played for four varsity sports in high school and three in college. In august of 1968, jim was drafted into the army. Within six months, he was trained as a medic and arrived in vietnam. Right away, jim poured all of himself into his duties treating the sick and the wounded. Before long, all of his fellow soldiers called him doc. On may 13th, 1969, less than three months after he arrived, jim was one of 89 men in Charlie Company to embark on a mission to secure a transportation route. As jim and his men jumped out of the helicopter, it quickly became clear that they were surrounded by enemy troops. Within minutes, enemy choppers were were shot down and one of his men was badly wounded in the middle of an open field. Jim did not hesitate. He blazed through 100 meters of enemy fire to carry the wounded and the soldier to safety. But this was only the first of many heroic deeds jim would perform over the next 48 hours. After tending to the first wounded soldier, jim joined a mission to advance toward the enemy and advance, they did. Before long, they were ambushed. Again, he ran into danger to rescue his men. As he cared for two soldiers, shrapnel from a rocketpropelled grenade slashed open the back of jims body from head to foot. Yet, that terrible wound didnt stop jim from pulling those two men to safety. Nor, did it stop him from answering the plea of another wounded comrade in carrying him to safety atop his own badlyinjured body. He was badly injured. And so it went shot after shot, blast upon blast as one of his comrades recalled whoever called medic could immediately count on mcclou mccloughan. Hes a brave guy. As it turned to dusk and nearly all that could to make it back, they were finally in their night defensive position. Except one soldier whose plea jim could not ignore. Again, doc did not hesitate. He crawled through a rice patty thick with steel rain. That means bullets all over the place as soldiers watched him, they were sure that was the last ti
