HIMSELF.
LET'S GET ON WITH THE SHOW.
I'M KENNEDY.
SO HOPE HICKS IS LEAVING AND
SOON ANOTHER BRAVE SOUL WILL
TAKE HER PLACE.
UNTIL THEN, WHAT IS IT LIKE TO
RUN THE COMMUNICATIONS WINGS OF
THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE.
JOINING ME, ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI
IS BACK.
>> I DIDN'T THINK I WAS GOING TO
GET A PICTURE UP THERE, THEN YOU
SHOWED ME AT THE END.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LUKE'S TO
RUN'S COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT.
I WAS ONLY THERE FOR 11 DAYS.
I DON'T HAVE REGRETS ABOUTING
LEAVING, I WAS FIRED.
I PUT A WHOLE COMMUNICATIONS
PLAN TOGETHER THAT WAS
RELEASED -- SOMEBODY LEAKED IT
AND PUT IT UP ON THE INTERNET IT
WAS A NINE-PAGE PLAN.
I HOPE THAT A LOT OF STUFF I HAD
IN THAT PLAN -- THE NUMBER ONE
THING IS TO KEEP THE PRESIDENT
ON MESSAGE.
KENNEDY: WHY HAVE THERE BEEN SO
MANY COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTORS IN
A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
SCAR
>>AR
>> IN MY CASE I WAS CAUGHT ON A
STORY I THOUGHT WAS OFF THE
RECORD.
AND I USED A COUPLE OF POOR
WORDS, CURSE WORD, SO GENERAL
KELLY DECIDED HE WAS GOING TO
EXERCISE SOME LEVEL OF AUTHORITY
BY FIRING ME INSTANTANEOUSLY
OVER TALKING A FEW CURLS WORDS.
KENNEDY: WAS THAT UNFAIR?
>> I THINK MOST OF PEOPLE KNOW
IT'S UNFAIR.
I TOOK IT LIKE A GENTLEMAN AND I
TOOK IT LIKE A JE GENTLEMAN.
BUT WHEN YOU SEE HE'S COVERING
UP FOR GUYS SMACK THEIR WIVES.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, WE DON'T
WANT TO BE IN THE WIFE BEATING
ENABLING PARTY.
KENNEDY: WOULD YOU GO BACK TO
THE WHITE HOUSE?
>> NO, I DON'T THINK THERE WILL
BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO GO
BACK.
I'M TOO OUTSPOKE, I'M TOO MUCH
MUCH A NEW YORK.
I WANT TO CALL BALLS AND STRIKES
LIKE I SEE THEM.
I'M 54 YEARS YOUNG.
NOT 54 YEARS OLD.
KENNEDY: AS YOU SAID, HOPE HICKS
USED SOME OF YOUR PLANS.
VERY QUITE AND LOW PROFILE.
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY TYPE
WILL WORK IN THAT POSITION?
>> GOOD QUESTION.
THE PRESIDENT WILL HAVE TO MAKE
THAT DECISION.
IT'S DEFINITELY NOT ME.
I'M TOO OPINIONATED.
I'M TOO HONEST BY THE.
PEOPLE SAY THEY WANT THE TRUTH
BUT THEY DON'T WANT THE TRUTH.
I THINK THE PRESIDENT IS BEING
TO BE WELL-SERVED BY PEOPLE THAT
ALLOW HIM TO BE THE PRESIDENT.
AND THEY ALLOW HIM AS COREY
LEWANDOWSKI AND DAVID BOSSIE
SAID IN THE BOOK, LET TRUMP BE
TRUMP.
IF THE PRESIDENT WATCHES YOUR
SHOW, I WOULD SAY GO BACK TO
BEING TRUMP.
KENNEDY: DO YOU STILL TALK TO
HIM?
>> I PROBABLY TALKED TO HIM
THREE WEEKS AGO.
I TALKED TO HIM A FEW TIMES
AFTER BANNON WAS EXPOSED TO BE
THE GUY I SAID HE WAS.
IF YOU READ-MY EVALUATION TAKE
OUT MY CURLS WORDS, IT'S WHAT I
SAID ABOUT BANNON.
I DON'T TALK TO HIM THAT MUCH.
KENNEDY: DOSE SAY YOU WERE RIGHT
BE I WAS WRONG, I FEEL BAD.
>> THAT'S NOT HIS PERSONALITY.
>> I WAS TRYING TO HELP HIM.
I'M A LOYAL GUY.
I WORKED ON THIS SINCE 2016.
I YOU GAVE MID 6 FIGURES TO THE
PAC, THE PRESIDENTIAL TRUST AND
INAUGURAL.
I PUT MY MONEY WHERE MY MOUTH
AND HEART AND SOUL IS.
I LIKE THE PRESIDENT AND HIS
FAMILY.
KENNEDY: HAVE YOU TAKE AND HIT?
>> I HAVEN'T MEASURED THAT.
AND I DON'T CARE IT'S A HIGH
PRICE TO PAY FOR BEING THE
PRESIDENT'S FRIEND.
WHEN I LOOK AT OUR COUNTRY AND
SEE THE WORKING CLASS I LIVED
IN, ASPIRATIONAL WORKING CLASS
TURNING INTO THE DESPERATIONAL
WORKING CLASS, WE HAVE TO
DISRUPT THE SYSTEM ON THE SWAMP.
KENNEDY: ARE YOU STILL LOYAL TO
THE PRESIDENT?
>> I AM VERY LOYAL TO THE
PRESIDENT.
I THINK WHAT THEY DID TO JARED
IS DISGRACEFUL.
>> IS THAT DOWNKELLY'S SNAWLT.
>> I THINK IT IS JOHN -- IS IT
JOHN KELLY'S FAULT?
HERE IS HOW THE SWAMP WORKS.
WE'LL HIT YOU AND LEAK ON YOU.
THEN IN OUR MOMENT WEAKNESS
WE'LL DROP TWO MORE WATER
BALLOONS ON YOU, AND SEE IF WE
CAN BUILD A WALL OF SHAME TO
LIVE IN.
LET'S LET YOUR VIEWERS KNOW WHAT
THE TIMING IS.
WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A MOVE ON
JARED.
REDUCE HIS SECURITY CLEARANCE.
HE'S OPPOSITE A TEMPORARY ONE,
WE WON'T GIVE HIM A PERMANENT
ONE.
WE'LL SLOW ROLL NUMBER THE
SWAMP.
THEN WE'LL HIT HIM WITH A "NEW
YORK TIMES" VICIOUS ARTICLE.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME HE'S AN
AMERICAN ENTREPRENEUR.
KENNEDY: WHO IS SPEARHEADING
THAT EFFORT?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
IT WAS PRIEBUS AND BANNON.
KENNEDY: WHO IS THERE NOW TO DO
THAT?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
IT WOULD TAKE ME TWO OR THREE
DAYS TO FIGURE IT OUT.
I WOULD HAVE TO BE IN THE SYSTEM
TO FIGURE IT OUT.
KENNEDY: DO JARED AND IVANKA
LIKE YOU?
>> I GET ALONG WITH THEM GREAT.
I THINK I HAD A GOOD
RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM, THEY
REALIZED THEY HAD A PROBLEM.
YOU GO BACK TO THE SUMMER.
THE LEAKING, THE POLITICAL
DIABOLICAL NATURE NOT CARRYING
THE PRESIDENT'S AGENDA.
IT WAS OFF THE CHARTS AND
RIDICULOUS.
I PROBABLY MADE 10 PHONEBOOKS OF
MISTAKES IN MY CAREER AND FIVE
OF THEM THE 11 DAYS I WAS IN THE
WHITE HOUSE.
I WAS HANDLING IT LIKE A
BUSINESS EXECUTIVE AND
ENTREPRENEUR CEO INSTEAD OF A
POLITICAL OPERATIVE.
ING.
KENNEDY: IS THE PRESIDENT'S
DECISION ON THE STEEL AND
ALUMINUM TARIFFS.
IS THAT RIGHT DECISION?
>> THE HEADLINE RISK IS VERY,
VERY BAD AND I DON'T LIKE TRADE
WARS PER SE.
BUT IF HE'S LOOK FOR SYMMETRY.
WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT THE
COUNTRY NEEDS BY LATERAL
SYMMETRY IN THESE TRADE DEALS.
FOR 71 YEARS AFTER THE SECOND
WORLD WAR WE SIDE ASYMMETRICAL
TRADE DEALS.
WE DON'T WANT TO OVERTIP IT.
ONCE THE MARKET LOSES CONFIDENCE
IN THE ECONOMY AND THE MARK IT
THINKS THE GOVERNMENT WILL PUT
ITS UGLY HAND INTO THE SYSTEM.
KENNEDY: IT REVS UP CONSUMER
CONFIDENCE.
>> YOU WANT TO HIT THE RIGHT
NOTE, IMPOSING STEEL TAIR
TARIFFS SMELLS LIKE THE WRONG
THICK TO DO AT THIS POINT.
IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
YOU ARE ALWAYS OPEN AND HONEST
WHEN YOU ARE HERE.
>> YOU ARE GREAT, I APPRECIATE
IT.
LIKE YOU, I DON'T LET ANYBODY
