>> john kelly coming in, the test is going to be -- this could happen with john kelly in 20 days. if the president doesn't change his ways, does he accept the discipline that general kelly is believed to be able to bring to this job,s general kelly going to be able to stop the president from tweeting in the middle of the night? is he going to be able to stop him from tweeting during morning shows on this network and other networks. scaramucci thing is relevant and interesting right now, but the real question for this president is can he accept the discipline that general kelly is believed to be able to bring to a white house that -- where item ultimate is a part of the every day exi con. >> is anyone going to be able to stop the president from tweeting? he's 71 years old. why is general john kelly suddenly going to be able to walk in and say you know what, donald trump, i know everyone else has told you this including your own children, but -- >> that's really the battle that i'm most interested to watch because someone like general kelly who served almost half a sentry in the u.s

john kelly in as chief of staff replacing reince priebus, general john kelly coming over from homeland security. charlie. >> yeah. not surprising if you watch fox business. we reported earlier on cavuto today that my sources were telling me priebus was out. i would not know who would replace him. there was some speculation that anthony scaramucci, our former colleague who's white house communication director, you know, was the de facto chief of staff in recent days and trump was leaning on him to do stuff. that was speculation. i found that hard to believe that he would actually walk in as chief of staff as communications director and particularly after all the history that we've been talking about recently. but this is a good choice. this guy is a real deal. listen, reince priebus is an excellent political bureaucrat. there's no doubt about that. general kelly brings a whole other level. he brings military bureaucracy to the white house, and that may be exactly what a dysfunctional white house needs. but here's the thing. i don't care whether it's reince priebus or general kelly. if t

kelly. >> that's john kelly. and he understands that. >> does the president believe that? that's the question. >>ible that john kelly is educating the president to the realities of how real leadership has to function. >> do you think he'll listen? >> i'm hoping that he will. now, it won't be perfect and i think the president will continue to reach out to the american people through his ability to tweet. i'm just hoping that he's very careful with the words that he uses and there's a decision to understand the consequence before the words go out. >> so what if donald trump decides to tweet early tomorrow morning late tonight going against something he saw on cable news or deciding to denigrate the republican party for not pursuing health care the way that he wanted them to do that, what does general kelly, now i guess civilian john kelly who is chief of staff, do with a president who has his own microphone and chooses to use it as he has choeds ento use it. >> well, i hope he walks into the oval office, shuts the

john kelly will do a fantastic job. general kelly has been a star and done an incredible job thus far respected by everybody and a great, great american. reince priebus a good man, thank you very much. >> moments ago priebus himself put out a statement that reads as follows quote it's been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve as president and our country that i want to thank the president for giving me the special opportunity that i will continue to serve as a strong supporter of the president's agenda and policies. i can think of a better person than general john kelly to succeed me and i wish them god's blessing and grace success. leah kelly begins his official role in the white house on monday. leia blake, you know of course lots of information coming in that we all want to know what happened behind the scenes on this one and for that we ever programming alert for you. neil cavuto will be live tomorrow morning on the cause of freedom with full coverage on the latest shakeup tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. eastern on

as far as john kelly, he's going to be great. keeping things organized, keeping everyone in their lane, controlling -- controlling flow of information in and out of the oval office, those are all challenges to a chief of staff. and i think he's going to do a wonderful job. >> i know you must be very disappointed. you really wanted to see repeal and replace of obamacare. >> yes. >> you are going out now without having succeeded in that. we also it would happen overnight. how disappointing is that to you? >> it is disappointing, but i don't think it's over yet, wolf. i think the republicans can still come together before reconciliation is over and i wish them well to do it and i'll be a part of trying to help make that happen if i can. and again i'll always be on the team. >> what about the criticism that the president has levelled against the attorney general of the united states, jeff sessions? how uncomfortable did that make you? >> look, jeff is a great guy. but the president is disappointed, and i'm not going to get into that

john kelly will do a fantastic job. general kelly has been a star, done an incredible job thus far, respected by everybody. a great, great american. reince priebus, a good man. >> you heard the president calling reince priebus a good man. he is gone now after seven months of constantly being called weak, ineffective and worse by the president. he finally took the hint or the shove and offered his resignation. >> the president has a right to change directions. the president has a right to hit a reset button. i think it's a good time to hit the reset button. i think he was right to hit the reset button and i think it was something that i think the white house needs. i think it's healthy. >> okay. he thinks it's healthy. he's gone. that's what you say. the question is, what next? what changes? can general kelly, the anti-trump in many ways -- believes in order, discipline. he thinks before he speaks. can he change the behavior of the president's inner circle and, more importantly, can he change the behavior of the presiden

let me just briefly put a human face on general john kelly, secretary john kelly. in 2001, he lost his son in battle. he became the highest ranking officer to lose a son or daughter in combat. first lieutenant robert kelly was killed in afghanistan. on this memorial day -- >> hold on for a moment, because the president now, we're getting the tape of the president walking down the stairs at air force i going back to speak to reporters about this major announcement. listen in. >> reince is a good man. john kelly will do a fantastic job. general kelly has done an incredible job thus far, respected by everybody. a great, great american. reince priebus a good man. thank you very much. >> all right, so there you see the president of the united states speaking very briefly to reporters with the announcement praising john kelly, the new white house chief of staff. this white house chief of staff does not need senate confirmation. senator john madsen of west virginia is with us. you know john kelly. what do you think? >> he's held in high regard of both democrats and republ

so, diane, what else do we know about john kelly? >> like you said, fred, he is the consummate marine. he's plain spoken, mission oriented and above all he's a leader. but perhaps most importantly president trump likes and respects john kelly. and, well, it appears the feeling is mutual. it was another major announcement made over twitter. >> we're following breaking news. president trump just announcing a new white house chief of staff. >> reporter: the president tapping homeland security secretary general john kelly to replace reince priebus as his new chief of staff. >> john kelly will do a fantastic job. >> reporter: kelly, a retired marine corps general with nearly five decades of military service, has served many roles, the latest homeland security chief where he has earned high marks from the president for defending and enforcing the white house immigration policy. now, earlier in his career kelly served tours in iraq and afghanistan. his son, robert michael kelly, was killed in combat in afghanistan in 2010. president trump a

john kelly will do a fantastic job. general kelly has been a star, done an incredible job thus far, respected by everybody. a great, great american. >> a source close to priebus says he privately offered his resignation after anthony scaramucci offered a profanity-laced tirade against him. kelly is seen as a stabilizing force. a 45-year-veteran who has carried out tough on crime as a leader of homeland security and wants to crack down on leaks. his event in new york, the focus was gang violence. he also sang kelly's praises. >> truly one of our stars. john kelly is one of our great stars. >> that was nbc's kristen welker reporting. joining me now, chief washington correspondent for bloomberg news and congressional reporter for "the washington post." great to have you here. >> kevin, let's start with you. did the anthony scaramucci interview where he skewered reince priebus push him to re-sign or did the president straight-up fire priebus? >> i think it was a combination of both. i don't think there is anyone in the west

reince priebus is out, general john kelly is in. the president accepting the resignation of his chief-of-staff and learning that priebus resigned privately yesterday but the writing had been on the wall. president trump making the announcement, of course, on twitter and going on to say this. >> reince priebus was a good man, john kelly will do a fantastic job. >> and reince priebus tells our wolf blitzer that he's just fine with all of this. >> he intuitively determined that it was time to do something differently and i think he's right. >>> we have breaking news tonight on the russia investigation and the question that's been looming over this administration during a week of chaos and upheaval. president trump will sign the russian sanctions bill we've learned tonight. in a statement the white house said, president trump read early drafts of the bill and negotiated regarding critical elements of it. he has now reviewed the final version and based on its responsiveness to his negotiations, approves the bill and intends to sign it. t

than john kelly. i think he's just a great human being, good man. >> give him some advice. look, we use the word dysfunctional around this town a lot, and i say that -- and look, let's be realistic. the senate is a mess. the white house feels lining it's been a mess, both for very different reasons. what's your advice to general kelly in helping to functional eyes this dysfunctional town? >> well, they need -- we just -- you know, general kelly has gone up through the ranks, so he understands how to basically direct the functions of jobs by jobs, categorize them and know who is in charge and who has to be responsible for each other and who is going to answer to who. he can but that function together. he can put that structure together and he can hold them accountable for that. and then i think he came into this with his eyes wide open. he's been around this long enough. and the president has a comfort level with and has confidence in general kelly, and he has to have a person around him that he has th

i meant john kirby, not john kelly earlier. i want to correct myself. >> john kirby said we would lose a lot of talent if what happens the president is trying to mandate. thank you, lieutenant general mark hertling, monica helms, so glad to have you here. visibili victor. >> the unit cohesion was used to keep blacks from serving in the military, women from serving and gays serving openly. today, america has the strongest fighting force in the world. >>> moving on, the president on talk on how police should handle suspects after an arrest. >> and when you see these thugs being thrown in the back of a paddy wagon, you see them thrown in, rough. i say please don't be too nice. like when you guys put somebody in the car, you're protecting their head, you know, you put your hand, like don't hit their hand, they just killed somebody. don't hit your head, i say you can take the hand away, okay. >> cheers and applause standing behind the president after markings made. that the president made about ms-13 gang violence but now some law e

john kelly will do a fantastic job. general kelly has been the star. he's done an incredible job thus far. respected by everybody. a great, great american. reince priebus, a good man. thank you very much. >> bret: a wild week in washington ending with a west wing shakeup announced late this afternoon. the president speaking about his new chief of staff, homeland security retired general john kelly. the press secretary resigning and a new white house chief of staff chief of staff. welcome to washington. i am bret baier. just before 5:00 eastern time, president trump announced general kelly will be his new chief of staff, he starts monday morning. at first, there is no mention of what happened to reince priebus, who has taken a beating this week, courtesy of incoming communications director anthony scaramucci. the president, priebus and scaramucci returned to washington from long island on air force one. he thanked him for his service and dedication. the shortest tenure, 189 days, of any chief of staff not serving in an interim role in the white house. k

general john kelly is in. before we get into the details of how this all happened, let's just take a look at all the frankly bizarre things that have gone on this week. monday, jared kushner appeared before the senate intense committee admitting he had four meetings with russians. on the same day, the president gave a speech in front of thousands of cheering boy scouts, a speech the boy

take a listen to what he had to say about john kelly. tosident trump: i want congratulate john kelly who has incredible job of secretary of homeland security. incredible. one of our real stars. stars.ne of our greatelly is one of our stars. story of thisthe administration has been about the in-fighting and palace intrigue. do we expect that to change now? along?these new guys get kevin: i don't think it's going intrigue, the palace will continue. quite frankly, i'll be blunt, washingtonlture of as we know it currently in 2017 some yearsr quite before it. but in terms of how it relates to the trump administration, you know, i think that the comments of anthony scaramucci to the "new yorker" speak for themselves. he somewhat apologized, not really, in a tweet. but i mean there's just this sense -- i feel like investors rightoking at washington now and kind of confused and don't know what to make of it. whatre just watching this, is going on down there. i can tell you that at a staff level at a junior staff all the way up to the principal l

john kelly is very well liked. he's obviously been the star of the administration when it comes to the cabinet. the operation of the homeland security has been fabulous. they've got border crossing attempts down by about 78%, starting to build the wall. john kelly was the outstanding star. i think the transition is going to be seam less to chief of staff. he's got the background for it. he spent a couple years as the marine corp less layoff liaison on capitol hill. colonel. and he was the military aid to two defense secretaries during the obama administration, so i think he's exceptionally positioned >> i'd love to hear your thoughts. on the other side of the aisle, guess, go constitutes aisle kind of mentality that people like among both sides? >> sure. i think it's interesting that the a will have the four star general to serve in the role of the white house to the staff was alexander hague under president nixon son, i'm not going to draw parallels >> secretary kelly, general kelly is respected. if we're looking

it is john kelly's first day in a very big job. he'll be sworn in later this morning followed by a cabinet meeting. the question on top of everyone's minds, can kelly bring order to this wild west wing. >> reporter: president trump turning to retired four star general john kelly, for help rebooting a stalled white house agenda and reigning in a chaoticest west wing, that after reince priebus was pushed out. >> the president wants to go in a different direction, wants more discipline, more structure in there. >> it remains unclear how kelly's appointment will impact chain of command at the white house and if the former homeland security chief will exert any influence over the president's own behavior, including his use of twitter. >> you have to let trump be trump. anybody who thinks they're going to change donald trump doesn't know donald trump. >> the president remains at odds over repeated public attacks on attorney general jeff sessions. >> well, it's kind of hurtful, but the president of the united states is a strong leader. >>

it's john kelly's first day on the job. he was sworn in this morning. this gifves us a little bit of insight of how kelly felt about scaramucci. >> reporter: it gives us a lot of insight. he didn't think he was the right fit for this new order he's going to try to impose on the west wing. but it also gives us a window into how much authority the president is going to give his new chief of staff. this is something that may not have happened, you know, a few weeks or even months ago. it's clear the president is giving john kelly, at least now in the opening days of the honeymoon phase, if you will, the full authority who goes in the oval office, who sees the president and the staffing decisions as well. this is something that is a key question here. the chief of staff among other things is the one who controls access, who has the president's ear, who sees him in the oval office. >> we have sarah huckabee sanders at the podium. we're going to listen in. thanks so much, jeff. >> sure. >> waiting for you. good afternoon, everyone. before i start, i'd like to

back to john kelly, wolf, who we were just talking about. i got to tell you, i'm no fan of this white house or this administration, but knowing john kelly is in the room as opposed to somebody like reince priebus or anthony scaramucci when the president is considering how to handle north korea gives me a lot more confidence than i would have had yesterday. >> i've heard that from a whole bunch of people. thanks very much, congressman himes of connecticut. thank you for joining us. >>> back to the white house, anthony scaramucci resigns after less than two weeks on the job. >>> and later vladimir putin's revenge for the u.s. sanctions. he's ordering hundreds of diplomats, technical staffers out of the u.s. diplomatic relations in russia are reliable for intelligence gathering. we have new information for you. (vo) when you wake up with miracle-ear, your mornings can come to life with sound. call the number below so that your day can start just like this. today can be the day you join millions of americans who have already started hearing bett

do you think he ran these by john kelly? >> i doubt that he did. i mean, what he said, i saw a list of them, he must have had six or seven tweets. neil: looked like six. by in large -- >> congress, senate. neil: 60 vote make-up of getting any legislation. it was doomed even with a simple majority. but these were i thought on message tweets, they were actually effective tweets, they didn't go off message. >> i think they are and it's a great issue. sure, i mean, look this is an issue. i agree with the president 100% here, look, the filibuster is gone. we may not like it, traditional conservatives may not like it but if the democrats get in they will do away with it in order to block anything that the president of the united states, so i think -- neil: democrats have done that already before judicial appointments. >> sure. i think that's gone quite frankly and i agree with the president but he ought to have told, general, i'm going say a couple of things this morning, x, y, z and let him know what's coming. neil: pat, let me ask you, talking to forme

password was "hey guys." >>> number one, general john kelly. white house chief of staff today, hoping that kelly can help reboot the stalled white house agenda and rein in a chaotic west wing. >>> vladimir putin telling the u.s. they need to reduce their diplomatic staff by 755. >>> president trump slamming china after north korea's latest ballistic missile test. the president vows to impose sanctions. >>> tropical storm emily. parts of the state under a tropical storm warning. >>> new jersey governor chris christie getting into a cubs fan's face after he was heckled. christie could be heard calling the man a big shot. >> i don't think those two will remain friends for very long. >>> general john kelly will be sworn in as the new white house chief of staff in just about an hour. is he the right choice to bring stability to the west ring? two former chiefs of staff give us their takes. >>> first, need an afternoon pick-me-up? cnn correspondent elizabeth cohen shows us some of the best energy-boosting snacks in today's food for fuel. >> the best

clearly john kelly likes to run a tight ship. if he's got somebody out there who he believes is a bit of a loose cannon, not to say he was, he probably will want to reign that person in. kelly comes from a live of combatant commanders that includes james mattis and joe dunford. i remember in the iraq war of 2003, dunford relieved the commander of the unit that was traveling with right in the heat of battle. so this is a group of combatant commanders that when they see a problem, they deal with it swiftly and quickly. what is really interested about this, neil, is the fact that the president had wanted scaramucci in that job. he had given him that direct line of communication. he had given him seniority over sean spicer and ten days later in comes john kelly and scaramucci is out. so just goes to show that the president is willing to take some pretty drastic steps to get the team in that he wants, neil. >> neil: you mentioned -- here we are. >> don't worry, john roberts. you have plenty of time. >> waiting for you. good afternoon,

and i think the impulse is that odds with letting john kelly be john kelly. let's see how it - >> i mean translate is he is. this is a shuffling of the staff furniture will not matter unless mr. trump accepts of the white house problem is not reince priebus. it is him. and the white house, the president gets what he wants. he likes putting faction against faction. advisors are -- this is a large undertaking than a family business and fighting competing in a dysfunctional white house. that is pretty sharp. the washington journal editorial photo taking on ivanka trump and jared kushner in editorial. cannot change? should not change? or was this what he was elected to do and why he was elected to the white house? >> i think it will not change. it might change for a little while. i think john kelly will have some honey. , a grace period where maybe he will be able to straighten things out. maybe they will be able to get leaks under control. navy anthony scaramucci will clean house in the munication department. the thing is, we talked about factions in the white h

let's talk about the move john kelly just sworn in moments ago. you'll see it play here in a moment. general kelly as chief of staff, good thing for america? >> hopefully. the first 6 1/2 plus months of the trump administration has been characterized as chaos, crisis and confusion. sort of like circus atmosphere that has not put forth, you know, any policy proposals in a meaningful way. >> put fourth proposals. you think it's a good thing for america? all of us want to see government working. it's broken right now. if he can restore some semblance of responsibility and get the president of the united states under control, it will be a good thing for the american people. >> he has serve this had country and given this country his all, his own son, who died fighting for this country. i'm hearing we're waiting for video. you tweeted over the weekend that the president is, quote, a sick guy that language has been condemn bid so many on the left and the right. why are you doing the same? >> encouraging police officers essentially to engage in police br

what would you tell john kelly? >> i would say focus on the staff, get it organized, but focus on what you can do for the american people. you've got to get results here from the white house and for people to feel that their lives are going to be better. you need to push it outward, not inward. >> mack, thank you for that insider's perspective. i'll ask you to stick around because we're watching to see what comes out of the cabinet meeting happening right now. everything john kelly has going on right now as the west wing watches what happens overseas. north korea's latest test launch. russia's retaliation for that sanctions bill from congress. we're doing a deep dive on the new foreign policy problems facing this president and his options, next. stay with me, mr. parker. when a critical patient is far from the hospital, the hospital must come to the patient. stay with me, mr. parker. the at&t network is helping first responders connect with medical teams in near real time... stay with me, mr. parker. ...saving time

i understand you knew chief of staff john kelly. what can you share with us about your experience knowing him. >> as a marine he was as good as they come. and he's a great american. he remember when he got appointed to the dhs people said he was a good marine, but will he know how to be the head of dhs. i think he did more in six months as a cabinet secretary than many in the last administrations. i think he's a great guy and great leader and hopefully he brings that marine corps ethos to the white house. >> i'm navy, he's a marine. the marines don't like the fact that we are all part of the department of the navy. lori: the president spoke in long island talking about the la mara salvatruchtalking abouttat. to your point will immigration. i want to ask you about russia. russia sanctions bill headed to the president's desk after passing the house and senate with nearly unanimous bipartisan support. what do you make of russia's retallation byordering the united states to cut staff in its embassy. >> there is the north korean sanction

they were support of john kelly get order. someone the president would regard as a peer of anyone we have seen in the white house. hoe regarded him as just another staffer, didn't go to him for advice, et cetera, et cetera. it's clear to me that while the president made this decision, i totally great with david, he's setting down some deals here with order, and who goes through who, and what is acceptable behavior, and what is not acceptable? that may go to leaking as well. this send a message that it was not okay, but it sentence a signal, and i third quarter some are probably relieved. >> just the inner circle, jared and ivanka, who have liberate roots, i was reading a piece today, when refer to republicans. how did that, i don't know, speak to how he's feeling partwise? >> he just experienced a week where he witnessed more cracks in his own coalition, in his own support structure. i'm talking about susan collins, lisa murkowski and john mccain who broke ranks, who, that consumed the legislative agenda. i'm talking about hea

obviously more influential with john kelly. but also scaramucci, someone who trump views as a friend. someone who is not of washington, someone he believes is a good performer on television. i think donald trump being more of what we believes to be the most trumpian possible. i would note that he's been pretty trumpian in the first six months, but i think he believes that there is more -- he needs to embrace more of who he is and trust his gut more than he has and not be slowed by the traditional ways of thinking. these moves clearly will allow him to do that. >> it is interesting what the washington post is reporting, that reince priebus was belittled by trump and saying the demeaning came through in other ways to at one point a fly began huzing overhead distracting the president and as the fly continued to circle, trump summoned his chief of staff and tasked him with killing the insect. does this sound like the donald trump you know? >> well, it really does because he runs things in a why by humiliation. he's always intereste

kelly offered to resign, and john kellry accepted, and the reason is he wanted to allow john kelly to create his own team. that's the reasoning that was given, but i think it's a significant sign in terms of how much latitude the new chief of staff has and the situation. the person i was speaking with that made that point, clearly this is a strong signal that john kelly as chief of staff is in charge, he has a lot of latitude and clearly scaramucci went to him and to have to resign. >> but also president trump loss confidence in scaramucci as a spokesperson for him, as somebody whose image he thought was working to his advantage. no doubt john kelly was able to build his own team, no doubt, but if president trump thought anthony scaramucci's performance over the last 11 days was how he wanted to be seen, this would keep going even with a new chief of staff. >> but you know, he never commented about scaramucci's vulgarity. he never said this is inappropriate, this is unacceptable, because the message that scaramucci was delivering about reince priebus and steve bannon, by the way, was

liu going on to tweet at secretary john kelly, saying dear white house chief of staff, john kelly, good luck. fred? >> boris sanchez, thank you so much for that, from washington. here with us to discuss with our panel, adam ensis, a staff writer for the "washington post." patrick healey, a cnn political loirt and chris cillizza, cnn politics reporter and editor at large. chris, you first, you wrote an article for cnn.com making the point that priebus' departure completes the purge from the washington insiders from the president's inner circle could signal a harder turn if trump's outsider rhetoric and approach. explain what you think we're about to embark on. >> sure, fred. it speeds up the purge, it doesn't mean that there's no one with ties to the washington and the washington establishment, kellyanne conway was a washington pollster prior to her time with president trump and vice president mike pence before. john kelly is someone spent a long time around washington. is but he's not a washington establishment political figure that is reince priebus. he was the olive branch. he was the

, john kelly, admiral john kirby, i should say, you're with us. you know john kelly well. you worked with him when you were the pentagon spokesman. he was, what, a top advisor to defense secretary leon panetta. >> correct. >> you wrote a piece on cnn.com. you called him a no kidding bona fide straight shooting full tilt leader. based on what you know on the new white house chief of staff, is he going to get that place organized? >> if he is invested in by the president as david said, it really comes down to the president and what kind of chief of staff he wants. if he'll invest in and trust general kelly, yes, i think general kelly can certainly get things more organized, more disciplined and more productive, more effective. you can argue whether the policies are right or not, but he can certainly organize the team. >> you know, it's interesting also, rebecca, this morning he tweeted, the president tweeted and i'll put it up on the screen, highest stock market ever, best economic numbers in years. unemployment lowest in 17 years. wages rising. bor

there's john kelly right there. many of us are wondering why it had been delayed, and part of that may be because this news about anthony scaramucci is going to be discussed. so we've got a very, very busy hour for you, but let's start with nbc's peered alexander, who is in the white house press briefing room where we're going to get that briefing very shortly. peter, this is news that has developed in the last ten minutes or so. >> yeah. that's right. i was upstairs behind me behind the closed doors on the west wing outside of what remains sean spicer's office where we know some of the communications team is now gathered as they prepare to at release some sort of formal statement about anthony scaramucci's dpor tour. it's striking as we talk about what the headline should be for this white house which is the awarding to a medal of honor to a medic who fought nearly 350 years ago. instead it's in effect the selfish is actions in the eyes of many by anthony scaramucci where he was targeting reince priebus and steve b
