Quickly. Critics say its an inexperienced white house scrambling to find its footing in washington. Fox team coverage. Chief washington correspondent james rosen joins us. How general kelly will discharge his duties. We begin with john roberts and the changing white house staff on a monday. Good evening. Ten days ago press Secretary Sean Spicer stepped down in order to clear the decks for Anthony Scaramucci to build a new communications team. Today the white house cleared the decks again. It ranks among the shortest ten years and white house history after ten days on the job, Anthony Scaramucci is out as White House Communications director. General john kelly, new white house chief of staff, asked for scaramucci to go after an interview scaramucci thought was off the record. The president felt anthonys comments were inappropriate for a person that position. And he didnt want to burden general kelly also with that line of succession. Scaramuccis removal sharp indicator of how much power john kelly will have. President trump lavishing praise on him after his swearing in this morning. I predict general kelly will go down in terms of the position of chief of staff, one of the great ever. As the senior military assistant to robert gates and leon panetta, kelly is well versed in the ways of washingto washington. President trump is banking that kellys military discipline can bring some order to a west wing riven by competing power centers. What hes done in terms of homeland securitys recordshattering. The border, the results weve had, and the spirit. A very controversial situation, theres been very little controversy. Stick with the president dismissed the idea of a west wing in crisis, saying the there is no white house chaos. Companies are doing tremendously well. Kelly joins the team in the midst of domestic setbacks and Foreign Policy challenges. Among them north koreas latest show of defiance, firing off another intercom Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. It will be handled. We handle everything. Another crisis, venezuelan president Nichols Maduro consolidated power in an election u. S. Officials considered a sham. The National Security advisor and treasury secretary slapped new sanctions on maduro. We hope the sanctions will make maduro officials reconsider their actions. John kelly will have a level of authority that his predecessor Reince Priebus never enjoy. Several white house senior staffers had a direct line to the president and around priebus. Under kelly, everyone in the west wing, including ivanka trump and Jared Kushner will report directly to him. Bret john roberts, thank you. More on this with the panel. I will be hosting special report from the white house tuesday. I will be joined by Kellyanne Conway to discuss a changing white house staff with big challenges ahead home and abroad. If day one is any indication, President Trump believes in retired general john kelly in this new position. Is the resignation of Anthony Scaramucci by word, maybe not deed . Is it the first after restoring order in the white house . James rosen joins me to look at what the keys could be too general kellys success. Good evening. The firing of Anthony Scaramucci, he will be chiefly remembered for an unprecedented volume of public profanity. Sometimes the need to protect the president from himself. You have the worst job in washington because your job is to catch the javelins. The men who have served as white house chief of staff include some of americas most accomplished public servants. Dick cheney among them. It is James A Baker the third who held the job twice, during Ronald Reagans first term. Fi if they cant get the president , they want to get the chief of staff. The last military man to run the white house, moved over as nsc deputy halfway through the watergate scandal. Some historians believe he helped maneuver nixon out of office. I, gerald r ford, do solemnly swear. His tenure as chief lasted seven weeks. Chris whipples offer of gatekeepers. Gerald ford had a model of white house governance that was like donald trumps. Advisors coming and going. No chain of command. The man who held the job for bill clintons second term set a background in the armed forces was helpful. My first responsibility was to develop a chain of command. My military experience was probably more valuable to me that my political experience. Analysts emphasize that the one thing a successful a successful chief of staff will possess is something that only can come from his relationship with the president. True primacy over the rest of the staff. He is a political guy that turned out to be a superstar. Veterans predicted trouble for Reince Priebus when his hiring was paired with an announcement that steve bannon would enjoy equal footing with priebus. There is nothing wrong with a diversity of opinions in the white house and perspectives, but i think the white house runs well only if there is one chief of staff clearly in charge. In comments, jim baker advised general kelly to focus less on chief and more on of staff. Chris with bowl advised him to demand clearance of every tweet. Bret story you broke about computer systems. Fox news has learned the National Computer network relied on by americas top federal prosecutors suffered a hit as a Justice Department source put it, knocking out Internet Service and causing other disruptions. The outages were impeding prosecutors work as late as this afternoon. Federal Officials Say the power source in South Carolina has gone down twice the last few days with the office is relying on emergency backup while working to bring systems back online. We are told there is no terrorism connection but rather that this was simply a hardware issue. Bret okay, james. In a diplomatic tit for tat, Vladimir Putin orders 755 u. S.

And a sign of commitment, President Trump will sign legislation to strengthen and codify the United States sanctions against russia. The bill prompted Vladimir Putin to retaliate, ordering the removal of more than 700 u. S. Diplomats. Translator we have waited quite a long time and thought something might change for the better. We had hoped the situation would change but apparently if it changes, it wont be soon. Despite the diplomatic tit for tat, the Vice President said that the administrations preference remains a better relationship with russia. We are unified in our mission. A better relationship and the lifting of sanctions will require russia to reverse the actions that caused the sanctions to be imposed in the first place.

The sanctions are one move to try to put pressure on a president that continues to consolidate his own power and is now, in the words of the white house, a dictator. Steve harrigan reports from miami on the ongoing strength in venezuela. Ten People Killed sunday in clashes between protesters and Government Security forces in venezuela. One candidate was murdered in his home, and several Motorcycle Police officers were burned and what may have been the first use of an improvised explosive device in four months of unrest. When the blast went off, some cheered. 20 years of socialism have taken the country with the Worlds Largest oil reserves to the brink of dictatorship and famine. Those who can flee. There are people close to me who picked through the garbage, she says, people dressed like you and me. It affects us all. The man in charge, Nicolas Maduro, High School Dropout and former bus driver, appears to relish the battle. When imperialism challenges us, he says, we show the blood of the liberator that run through the veins of our men, women, and children. His government keeps moving the goalposts. After the opposition won a majority in the National Assembly in 2015, maduro stacked the Supreme Court with 13 new judges. He has pushed through a vote to rewrite the constitution. The u. S. Has vowed to take swift and strong economic action. Nikki haley called the election of sham and a step towards dictatorship. The u. S. Is not alone in condemning the power grab. European union, argentina, colombia, and a number of nations of said they will not recognize this vote. Bret steve harrigan, thank you. Here at home and on capitol hill, Republican Leaders looking to rebound after last weeks drama ending with an astonishing latenight collapse of the moving health care forward. Mike emanuel has the story. Full steam ahead for the white house, senate, house on tax reform. They say theyre working closel closely. Committed to keeping the promise of the american people. This is about creating a fair tax system thats good for the average middleclass person. Creates a wage growth for them, something theyve needed for a long period of time. Stick a hopefully a lot of text drafted and written. We will start with markups. Protect american jobs and make texas simpler, lower. Lower tax rate for small businesses, and for all american businesses they can compete with foreign companies. We want Investment Decisions to bring jobs home, we want local businesses to unleash investment. Whats out border tax on imported goods and boosting tax rates for upper income americans. We are not in the business of raising tax rates but the president himself with his economic advisors put out a framework that we think works. Floated by steve bannon to pay for middleclass tax cuts by boosting the top rate to as much as 44 from 39. 6 . Ryan says the tax reform push is critical. I believe the secrets to getting to 3 growth which is the goal we can achieve, regulatory relief, working on labor supply, welfare to work, tax reform. You cant get to 3 Growth Without tax reform. Chuck schumer suggests republicans should learn some lessons from the struggle to repeal and replace obamacare. If it happens under reconciliation, they are putting the same sign on the door. No democrats wanted, as they did with health care and i think it will lead to the same result. Supporters of Health Care Reform did not spend a dime selling it. Im told theres an expectation members of the Business Community will step up to try to build momentum for tax reform. Bret mike emanuel, thank you. President trump not giving up on that obamacare overhaul. President ramping up pressure, threatening the Health Benefits lawmakers enjoy in an ultimatum some experts say the president could follow through with. Peter doocy reports on what the president cannot cannot do can and cannot do. The president tweeting if obamacare is hurting people, and it is, why shouldnt it hurt the Insurance Companies and why should congress not be paying what public pays . Lawmakers and staffers have been getting 72 of their premiums subsidized by uncle sam. Part of an obamacare arrangement. President trump has the ability to undo the subsidies using the office of Personnel Management because thats the Agency President obama used to set them up. The president would be within his rights to cancel the obama rule that conferred this subsidy in congress. Other americans in these exchanges are not getting employer subsidies. Insurance companies are also waiting to find out if the costsharing reduction payments theyve been receiving to help cover low income americans will soon stop, as threatened. The court, District Court in d. C. , said this is an illegal payment. Why should american taxpayers bail out the Insurance Industry . Democrats dont see it as a bailout. This is about having stability in the private sector in order to provide health care. Tom price could circumvent congress by taking the teeth out of obamacare himself, stripping the requirement that americans pay a fine if they dont have insurance. President trump signed an executive order allowing hhs to waive the individual mandate. That is still an option, right . All things are on the table. In the white houses view, they cant move on. I have heard from some staff saying they may pay more for health insurance. We have word from orrin hatch who says congress will probably need to keep giving Insurance Companies subsidies. Bret mixed day on the markets. The dow rose 61 to hit another new high. S p 500 down 2. The conservative movement is lost, that from a republican senator was taken on President Trump before. Arizona senator jeff flake joins me to talk about the latest in his new book bret has the Republican Party lost its manners and possibly its principles . One g. O. P. Senator thinks so. Jeff flake, author of the book conscience of a conservative. Thanks for being here. Moments ago the president tweeted a great day at the white house. Thats all it says. Its the first day for his new chief of staff and the last day for his incoming White House Communications director. Your thoughts on this and what it means for the white house. I would agree, i think it is a good day. I think we were all wondering if admiral kelly, general kelly. General kelly would be the chief of staff or chief of some staff. Looks like hes going to be the chief of staff and thats what t the white house needs. Bret do you think this white house can get big things done with the current staff and organization it has . There is a lot we need to do. The white house has done some good things. Neil gorsuch on the Supreme Court was a great thing. Some regulatory reforms have been great. Weve got tax reform to go through. Thats going to be a big lift. I dont think its as difficult as Health Care Reform but its going to be difficult. Its going to require a disciplined administration and congress to get it done. I hope so. Bret this is the office of management and budget, Mick Mulvaney over the weekend. I think what you are seeing is the president reflecting the mood of the people. The white house cant move on. In the peoples view, they should move on in the senate. They should find a way to solve the problem. Bret talking about health care, dont do anything else until you get health care fixed. I think we have about reached the limits of what we can do with one party. I think were going to have to involve the other party. We tried. I voted for it. I wouldve liked to have kept health care alive. In arizona, 200,000 people will wake up without health insurance. They will have paid the fine but they cant afford the insurance. A bigger number are paying the premiums but cant afford to use it. We desperately need the reforms but i think we have reached the limits of what we can do as one party. Bret you said you voted for the skinny bill, but the senior senator did not. Your feelings about john mccains vote. His vote was consistent with the position hes taken for a long time. We need t
