♪♪♪ [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>>> GOOD EVENING. I'M ANDERSON COOPER, AND IF YOU
EVER WONDERED WHAT'S WHITER THAN ST. PATRICK'S DAY, YOU'RE
LOOKING AT IT. TONIGHT A WHITE HOUSE MAKING BIG
MUSE, ANDREW McCABE IS OUT, FIRED LATE ON FRIDAY, A DAY
BEFORE HE WAS ABLE TO RECEIVE HIS PENSION.
HERE TO EXPLAIN THE MAN WHO HAD TO DO THE FIRING, ATTORNEY
GENERAL JEFF SESSIONS. >> HELLO, LOOK AT ME, I STILL
GOT A JOB. >> SIR, CAN YOU GIVE US THE
EXACT REASON McCABE WAS FIRED? >> WELL, YES, ALL COSTS.
MR. McCABE WAS IN CLEAR VIOLATION OF -- BECAUSE OF HIS
LACK OF CANDOR, WHAT -- I DON'T KNOW, I CAN'T EVEN DANCE AROUND,
TRUMP MADE ME DO IT. McCABE HE SAW TOO MUCH.
>> OKAY, SO THIS WAS NOT YOUR DECISION?
>> LOOK I'M ALWAYS DOWN TO CLOWN, BUT THIS WAS SNEAK WE
EVEN FOR ME. I'M JUST A SIMPLE MAN WHO WANTED
TO MAKE THINGS BAD FOR IMMIGRANTS, AND NOW HERE I AM
TAKING AWAY THE PENSION OF A CHRISTIAN WHITE.
IT AIN'T RIGHT. >> WELL, THERE ARE RUMORS THAT
YOU MIGHT BE THE NEXT TO DO? >> WELL, FRANKLY I CAN'T BELIEVE
I'VE LASTED THIS LONG. I'M LIKE THE ENERGIZER BUNNY, I
KEEP GOING AND GOING, AND I DRINK WATER LIKE THIS.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> LOOK, YOU ALL NEED ME RIGHT
NOW, IF I GET FIRED, HE'S GOING TO LAUNCH ROBERT MUELLER RIGHT
INTO SPACE. IF I DO GO, DON'T WORRY, I'M
STILL GOING TO WREAK HAVOC. LIKE TARAJI P. HENSON SAID, I
CAN DO BAD ALL BY MYSELF. >> THANK YOU, MR. SESSIONS.
>>> THIS WEEK HAS BROUGHT SEVERAL HIGH PROFILE FIRINGS
FROM THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, INCLUDING REX TILLERSON, WHO
JOINS ME NOW. >> HOW YOU DOING?
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> QUITE WELL, SIR, QUITE WELL.
NOW, THE WAY THIS WENT DOWN MUST HAVE BEEN A LITTLE EMBARRASSING
FOR YOU, BUT YOU'VE BEEN PRETTY GRACIOUS ABOUT YOUR EXIT.
>> OH, YEAH. IT JUST WASN'T A GOOD FIT.
BUT THESE THINGS HAPPEN. >> NOW, IT WAS WIDELY REPORTED
THAT YOU WERE FIRED BY A TWEET FROM THE PRESIDENT?
>> WELL, THAT'S NOT TRUE. JOHN KELLY CALLED ME PERSONALLY,
HE SAID, WHERE ARE YOU? I SAID, SIR, THAT'S PRIVATE?
HE SAID OH, GOOD, ARE YOU ON THE TOILET?
BECAUSE I GOT SOME NEWS. >> ARE YOU OKAY?
>> I'M FINE. IT'S JUST CRAZY HOW ONE DAY
YOU'RE THE CEO OF EXXON, A $50 BILLION COMPANY.
AND THE NEXT DAY YOU GET FIRED BY A MAN WHO USED TO SELL STEAKS
IN THE MAIL. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> REX TILLERSON, OBVIOUSLY STILL PROCESSING THIS.
JOINING ME NOW ARE TWO PEOPLE WHO HAVE A FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE
OF WHITE HOUSE DYSFUNCTION, MICHAEL WOLFF, AND TRUMP KMUNGS
DIRECTOR FOR 11 DAYS, ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI.
>> HOW YOU DOING? IT'S ME THE MOOCH.
LIKE THESE THREADS. FIRST SUIT MADE BY THE OLIVE
GARDEN. >> MR. SCARAMUCCI, IT'S BEEN A
WHILE, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO LATELY?
>> LATELY? WHAT WAS I UP TO BEFORE?
NOBODY KNOWS. THE FIFTH ET SPINNER AT THE
TRUMP WHITE HOUSE, I MADE A BIG SPLASH.
THEN ONE DAY EVERYBODY WAS LIKE, WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT.
SPEAKING OF 235IDING AWAY, REXY, YOU AND I WE'RE KIND OF THE SAME
NOW, RIGHT? >> NO.
>> STILL, REXY, IT WAS A BIG SHOCK.
>> OH, PLEASE, I KNEW MONTHS AGO.
>> NOW, MR. WOLFE, YOU SAW THE DYSFUNCTION IN THE WHITE HOUSE
UP CLOSE, IS IT AS BAD AS THEY SAY?
>> IT'S WORSE. MUCH WORSE.
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS, BUT TRUMP WOULD LINE UP HIS STAFF
AND USE A LASER POINTER AND CIRCLE THEIR LOVE HANDLES EVERY
DAY. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> WOW! IS THAT REALLY TRUE?
>> YEAH. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> GENTLEMEN, ANY INSIGHTS INTO --
>> TRUMP IS A MORON! [ LAUGHTER ]
>> SORRY, I BLURTED THAT ONE OUT.
FEELS NICE TO SAY WHAT I WANT. CALL JURASSIC PARK, BECAUSE THE
REXY IS LOOSE. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> YEAH, WELL, THAT WAS VERY STARTLING.
NOW, ANY INSIGHT INTO WHO'S NEXT TO GO?
>> YEAH, JARED KUSHNER'S TOAST, BABY.
LOOK, YOU DIDN'T HEAR THIS FROM ME, BUT THE GUY IS IN DEBT UP TO
HIS CAJONES. THE RUSSIANS,ED SAUDIS, TOMMY
TOUPEE DOWN AT THE AQUADUCT. YOU'RE NOT RECORDING THIS, ARE
YOU? >> YES, WE'RE ON LIVE TV.
>> OH, ANTHONY, YOU STEPPED IN IT AGAIN?
>> ANY INSIGHT INTO WHO TRUMP WILL PICK TO RUN THE FBI?
>> MY SOURCES TELL ME THE JOB IS DOWN TO TWO CANDIDATES,
MILWAUKEE SHERIFF DAVID CLARK, OR THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE TV
DETECTIVE, MONK. >> ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
>> OH, COME ON, IT SOUNDS RIGHT, DOESN'T IT?
>> I SUPPOSE. >> I DON'T KNOW -- SHUT UP.
IT'S ALL IN MY NEW BOOK. >> YOU'RE WRITING ANOTHER BOOK
ABOUT THE WHITE HOUSE? >> YEAH, AND THIS ONE'S GOING TO
BLOW YOUR MIND. NOW, I'M NOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE
ANY MORE, BUT I HAVE A NEW SOURCE THAT TELLS ME EVERYTHING.
>> OH, YEAH, YEAH, I HEARD ABOUT THIS GUY.
WHAT A RAT. COMPLETELY OFF THE RECORD, IT'S
ME. WAIT, IS THIS BEING RECORDED?
>> YES. YES, WE'RE STILL ON LIVE
TELEVISION. >> AYE-YAY-YAY.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MENTION ME BY NAME, ARE YOU?
>> OF COURSE I AM. >> YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME LOOK
GOOD, RIGHT? >> YEAH FP.
>> I LOVE THIS GUY. >> ALL RIGHT, NOW, LET'S TAKE A
BREAK. WHEN WE COME BACK, WE'LL HAVE
THE FIRST RETURNS FROM THE RUSSIAN ELECTION.
