I cannot tell the last time that I have ever listened to another interview that was so truthful and unbiased.He is so knowledgeable and makes such great analogies . He totally understands the whole political spectrum.
It is an analogy but it is also reality. Trump does have a gold-plated bathtub. Character wise he would Let it ever draining run and run all year long. I think Trump derives pleasure from waste, making him feel more powerful and he is a junkie for that feeling.
"Do you know how many times in my life I've hired the wrong person for a job and had to look at myself in the mirror and say, wow, I misjudged that, I got that wrong?" We need more people like Mr. Scaramucci. Self aware, fallible, thoughtful, and intelligent. I'd vote Scaramucci.
It is very hard to forgive someone who got into the Trump camp. He was one of the better ones, which is not a very high bar, and he is definitely very smart and honest compared to the usual but the fact that he was willing to jump on board with a scam artist, and miss the birth of his child because his power ambitions is a very hard to dismiss stain in him. Apparently he was perfectly OK with a structure built on dishonesty and only grew a spine after he was fired. It's still a good thing but I'd prefer someone who was honest from the beginning. I prefer him to be a political commentator because he is definitely very knowledgeable, smart and seems very non-partisan.
@@blb1954he became that though. So, tell me, the ‘American dream’, which he achieved he is penalized for…what earns respect? Should a person not go that path if they can, in order to appease your anger at the capitalist system you live in? Is it jealousy? What is it? It’s a weird irony to tout the United States as a place to pursue such dreams…yet if a person achieves them, they are ridiculed? I myself am not driven to that definition of “success”…the riches etc. I also don’t love the way that some achieve that wealth. However, it is a system we live in. You can vote for changes, get in office, do something if you don’t like it. I just wonder if you’ve analyzed why you categorize him in a simple way. He’s from a working class and propelled himself somewhere else. Should he have refused the opportunities?
I actually think this guy is right on with his analysis. He is far more intelligent than I thought. Thoroughly enjoyed this interview and gained respect for AS.
@@4thumbsdown I think he got caught up in the whirlpool that surrounded Trump as the campaign had progressed. Followed by an incomprehensible amount of Trump's antics, the appointments made, the people sacked, the people who left. Scaramucci must have felt trapped as it began dawning on him how awful, and stupid Trump really was as president. Perhaps he'd seen Trump do lots of stupid stuff, but dismissed it from his mind. Everyone was caught up in the seemingly endless horrors of Trump's earliest days.
I’m liberal yet always enjoy hearing what Anthony has to say. It would be AWESOME if both sides could talk with each other using Anthony’s style: We’re people first, and our political parties shouldn’t define us. How can we get there?
This is remarkably insightful. Scaramucci has a gift of fast learning in real time. Mr. Scaramucci and Steve Schmidt are my two hands-down favorite Americans of the year.
I've listened to so many of Anthony s interviews and I'm so shocked at the wisdom he possesses. He knows exactly what the problem is and knows exactly how to explain it on a level people can understand. It's a shame he was fired from the White House. I truly believe things would be different today in this country if he was never fired.
@@markboliek6130 Watch clips of The Mooch prior to him joining the Trump Team. He always hated Trump. Then Trump started paying him lots of money and he became Trump Defender #1 for a short while. When Trump stopped paying him he began to revert back to his original opinions. Kind of like Kelly Ann Conway, who was also very anti-Trump before she signed onto the Trump team. These people aren't stupid, they're just opportunists who lack integrity.
Robert Schrader I agree- though I would wish to add that he still is as always adapting his comments to the moment... his rarely stands on the same foot... What he says about trump not being able to find his team in levels of government... he avoids talking about the resistance of government employees due to the illegal and or non constitutional path his administration was set forth to undertake under trumps “guidance” ....
Very insightful interview - Mr. Scaramucci gives insider's view of politics at its' highest level. He's a very intelligent & well spoken guy yet at times self-deprecating. Thank you Frontline!
Thanks to Frontline and TH-cam the history of the fall of the American Empire will be documented and preserved. Hundreds of years from now someone will be watching this video to do research for their Phd.
I appreciate Mr. Scaramucci tremendously because he's one of the few that actually articulates President Trump, how we got to where we are today politically and the origins of some of its players. He's intelligent and honestly could have taken a different approach after his brief time in the Trump administration.
@@sford2044You Must NOT be Too Bright!! exactly the opposite of what you say!! You just don’t like hearing the painful truth of things!! that’s all! They don’t always tell you things that you wanna hear!! He’s definitely NOT a “YES MAN! “ Like Trump wanted!! that’s why he was fired!! Remember Trump knows more than the generals!😳😱🙈🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣
These extended interviews reinforce why I appreciate Frontline. These segments also prove that media, especially, the short format common to electronic media can shape and distort how someone comes across. Many of the sound bites I saw made this guy appear like an arrogant airhead. This extended time period allows him to come across as sane, articulate and less like a zealot with a limited understanding of what they espouse zeal for.
He was an arrogant airhead during his 11 days in the WH, but by the time this was filmed he'd already spent about a year trying to rehab is image and speak out against Trump.
Anthony Scaramucci suddenly became a Trump opponent after the gov't prevented him from selling his hedge fund to China. I'd keep the 'respect' in check until that is cleared up.
@lawomann You're right. Nothing to clear up. Anthony Scaramucci lost his job with the President because he was going to take a bribe from China. Plain fact.
These Frontline interviews are great. The interviewee is allowed to speak frankly and at length. One may disagree with the content or statements, but it is certainly rewarding to able to listen to what they have to say without edits or commercial breaks.
Really Enjoyed listening to this Guy. As a Die Hard Democrat (Liberal) I feel if more people (Republicans) take a approach like Mooch, then we’ll find we have more in common then the massive differences we believe we have.
This guy is really well spoken. I have never paid attention to him until the last couple of weeks. This guy would be great to be able to eat lunch with and listen too.
His analytical analysis of Trump and why he failed as president was spot on. I admired Anthony Scaramucci for using the PBS platform to speak candidly about Trump, the man, rather than to speak vindictively or grinding an ax about his failed position and personal shortcomings with Trump and WH politics. Great interview!!
Yep liking more and more, got burnt, admits it and is able to give his opinion without resentment or partisanship. Not too many out there like him. Maybe learning from Obama....
Thank you FRONTLINE.I like this guy.hes f-ing smart an has a sense of decency and seems to be objective about the issues. ..respect ,,,i wish every one in washington would aspire to be like Anthony Scaramucci.
I was pleasantly surprised at the honesty of Scaramucci. My opinion of him has changed ... I thought his observations and analysis were insightful... I think he has a good understanding of Trump and what his core support saw in him. Really interesting interview!
This is the straightforward TRUTH America like it or not! Oh I am not a Republican or Conservative. As a matter of fact I didn't like the Mooch until he came clean from the Trump administration. TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.👍
Paul Kruse Yes, I agree. Once he broke from Trump, he seems to have calmed down and gained an introspective point of view. He speaks intelligently here.
The Mooch has a good redemption arc, glad he turned it around and came out on top in the annals of history in the end. Seems like a genuinely smart and nice guy.
I remember the Obama time very fondly. He had zero criminal indictments in his administration compared to Trumps hundreds and counting. How I miss Obama, every damn day.
Really enjoy what Frontline offers. A bit more investigative than CSPAN, but still nice to cut through the bull without out all the constant pundit opinion.
say what you will about this guy but give him the credit he deserves for a smart Italian kid with immigrant grandparents growing up in a real working class home who through hard work got himself to be a true American success story....this is why our grandparents left the old country...
This is a well educated man with excellent people instincts. He does a very credible job of explaining the truth from the inside without being one sided. I believe him to have integrity.
Wow, I never saw this side of Anthony Saramucci. To be fair, he was only in the spotlight for 11 days... This interview shows an incredible insight into this time in history. I am very impressed with Anthony. Well done Anthony and PBS!!!!!
I always thought Scaramucci was a lightweight but this interview certainly argued against that. He's very insightful and as a result I've a newfound respect for him... if only he could've been allowed to put those insights to work for this country when he was in the administration, but that, of course, was not possible because: anything trump touches dies, due to his numerous personality flaws.
Haha loved this comment ... Exactly anyone who is rational, logical, experienced in politics, life long services in the army or someone who is smart expert knowledgeable on all things related to how to run a government Trump will not like and will surely be an obstacle to his corrupted ways
Christopher Chilton-Smith he’s an opportunist. The opportunity presented itself so he sided with Trump. He was one of the biggest trump defenders in the media for years. When Trump turned on him, he turned on Trump to protect himself and became a vocal anti-trump voice
I give Scaramucci his props "just due" he was forthright and pretty honest. "Trump has turned into demigod, the founding fathers set it up to eject demigods." America needs to let Trump go.
Hes ALWAYS thought he was a Demigod.. only chumps believed it and other grifters.. . sorry moochers.. hes ALWAYS been a Douchebag. you live in NYC.. ask around
Gus Jackson , What? Disaster? Which part is the disaster? The media’s handling of Trump, maybe? The deep states constant attempts to remove him or prevent him from being in office? The never Trumper‘s constant miss representation of Trump’s agenda? Just to be clear, most people believe they are doing much better under this president than any president over the last 30 years. The average man can see that Trump actually gives a damn about them. Trump has a high likelihood of being reelected in an electoral landslide. Go back and look at the election in 1984 as a reference.
After watching the Bannon interview, I love hearing all of these different perspectives and how they slot together. On surface, what they're saying seems to contradict each other, but each interview is like one piece in the big puzzle, and these interviews, taken together, fills in each other's blind spots and you really start to see what's going on.
I respect Anthony because he is pragmatic like me. people in the comment section instead of blaming him and trash talk him, you should thank him for speaking out. But im only a Swede, so i guess im stupid to understand that people can have a change of heart.. Also think its important to listen and talk to the other side because only then you can convince them that they are wrong.
Pierre Berglund you assume his opinions are facts. You assume that he is speaking with no malice or hidden agenda to undermine the president. You assume he is like you. You assume...
Just because people speak differently doesn't mean they shouldn't associate or even work together. Trump is a classic New York Businessman, who will talk very differently from a Goldman Sacks guy...They both understand the system, they understand its broken - benefiting the elites only. And yes, they are part of the elite, that's why they understand what's going on where your average Joe wouldn't know their politicians are selling them out for Campaign donations.
@@Brofessor-Sam oh for crying out loud the man is a terrible business who has filed for bankruptcy numerous times and now he's bankrupt this country. He's an idiot.
@@yvettesavo18 You've obviously never owned a business. Trumps had over 150 businesses and 7 have gone bankrupt. Look at the average bankruptcy rate for businesses. Go on, Google it. Such an argument can only be born in ignorance of how real business works. Sometimes businesses fail, it's normal. Trumps success rate is extremely high.
enjoy watching all this series of interviews and all I can still come away with is my question...over 70 million people voted for Trump and what does that say about a culture? All these intelligent, articulate people telling how flawed Trump was on so many levels. Or is it all levels? Yet due to power everyone is willing to sell a bit of their soul to partake in the journey. To go on sorry, but his assessment of the press being a pillar and how that has been tarnished is really really critical. Media has become a catering to ideology and not fact. That is really really important going forward. Because it is a pillar of democracy. If no one is intelligent enough to see through the BS there is no hope. Welcome fascism or dictatorship.
intelligent people who understand the historic importance of American Constitutional governance over all other models know that Trump was the only realistic choice to support in 2016 and 2020. anyone claiming otherwise is a liar, a fool, or both.
The Mooch is in complete denial of how far right and how militant the Trump base is. They are talking about civil war and spew toxic White Nationalism.
@@hebber1961 You are in the bubble. You're 30-40% of the public. The rest of us see you for what you are. Nobody is wearing those MAGA hats anymore in public. I rarely see them where I live. You all watch one news station...that is the definition of a bubble.
@@bwagner1800 Well first of all, I live in YOUR bubble. We all do. Unlike lefties, I get news from many areas. How would you know where I get news? I'm here for one thing, watching you watch an opportunist and all the lefties loving him...now that he trashes Trump. lol. Secondly, Brian Wagner's poll of MAGA hats should be tried by pollsters. It's only slightly less dumb than their methods. Did you ever think that people don't like to be attacked for wearing them? Open minded, caring lefties who attack people for a hat. That's many of you and if you don't participate, you certainly like those that do. Who's extremist here? So far, you think a large segment of the population is far right and militant, and a hat poll is an indication of support... oh and that a country on a massive economic rebound, is in distress. lol Just stop while you're behind.
I knew Scaramucce was cerebral but in this interview he gives us a look into just how thoughtful and intellectual he really is. And he is self-effacing and charming.
Really good interview. It provided a good inside to Trump and it showed Mr Scaramucci as a smart man, I didn't know either of those things before this interview.
Scaramucci has a Harvard law degree, speaks well and looks good - So why hasn’t CNN or MSNBC or FOX given him a show yet? He obviously is looking for a gig .... they should give him a shot.

The mooooooooochhh
Interviewer can hardly be heard
Please don't use false equivalencies in your work. That's how evil proliferates in our society. Trump's administration is nothing but evil now!
Incredibly insightful unbiased and penetrating analysis of what's going on in the mind of the guy in the whitehouse
I cannot tell the last time that I have ever listened to another interview that was so truthful and unbiased.He is so knowledgeable and makes such great analogies . He totally understands the whole political spectrum.
Yep. I think he should run for office.
He is candid but he can also spin very well.
He’s very intelligent, insightful and deliberate in his comparisons I really hope he finds a place in DC where he can be involved in policy
“A gold plated hot tub with no drain.” That’s the greatest analogy for Washington I’ve ever heard.
Hella funny the way it sounded
It is an analogy but it is also reality. Trump does have a gold-plated bathtub. Character wise he would
Let it ever draining run and run all year long. I think Trump derives pleasure from waste, making him feel more powerful and he is a junkie for that feeling.
Vote blue save America 🇺🇸🌊💙
Anthony Scaramucci is not only brilliantly savvy, he is painfully honest. Those two characteristics are rarely combined in most public personalities.
Change ur soiled underwear
Very impressive. Anthony Scaramucci gave one of the best interviews of this entire series.
Thank you, PBS.
"Do you know how many times in my life I've hired the wrong person for a job and had to look at myself in the mirror and say, wow, I misjudged that, I got that wrong?" We need more people like Mr. Scaramucci. Self aware, fallible, thoughtful, and intelligent. I'd vote Scaramucci.

You should watch the interview with Steve Bannon, alot better.
@Erika Johnson good luck.
I have noticed if there's one thing the mooch is, is he's very real. Every time.

As he said, trump is a one man band. There is nothing AS could have done to reign trump in
This is a great interview. He's totally objective, and it seems honest.
Is it weird that I kind of like Anthony Scaramucci? He seems real and speaks clearly.
He sounds different without the expletives.

Yea, he is trying to low key put down Trump. I don't think he realizes how often he talks about himself without realizing it.
He is very smart 👍

A hundred years from now people will use PhD in phrases like "those phony diplomas they used to call PhDs".

"Politically I was agnostic" means "I gave money for personal benefit, not ideology". That´s not his fault though. You fix the system, not the person.
OMG. Anthony is making such great observations. He's got a brilliant mind
I respect Anthony because he is pragmatic like me. people in the comment section instead of blaming him and trash talk him, you should thank him for speaking out. But im only a Swede, so i guess im stupid to understand that people can have a change of heart.. Also think its important to listen and talk to the other side because only then you can convince them that they are wrong.
Scarymoochie is a self-serving clown.
Pierre Berglund you assume his opinions are facts. You assume that he is speaking with no malice or hidden agenda to undermine the president. You assume he is like you. You assume...
Anthony's analysis is always on point..... brilliant mind ..... Anthony would be a great president one day
Scarramuchi is able to speak in a measured, intelligent way. Beats me why he associated with Trump.
scripted
Just because people speak differently doesn't mean they shouldn't associate or even work together. Trump is a classic New York Businessman, who will talk very differently from a Goldman Sacks guy...They both understand the system, they understand its broken - benefiting the elites only. And yes, they are part of the elite, that's why they understand what's going on where your average Joe wouldn't know their politicians are selling them out for Campaign donations.
I learned like 10 new and useful words from this interview. This man is very articulate.
@@Brofessor-Sam oh for crying out loud the man is a terrible business who has filed for bankruptcy numerous times and now he's bankrupt this country. He's an idiot.
@@yvettesavo18 You've obviously never owned a business. Trumps had over 150 businesses and 7 have gone bankrupt. Look at the average bankruptcy rate for businesses. Go on, Google it. Such an argument can only be born in ignorance of how real business works. Sometimes businesses fail, it's normal. Trumps success rate is extremely high.
The only flaw with this interview? It's too short.
Great interview!
Can listen to this guy all day
The whole point that I'm deriving from this is that if we want to continue to have a democracy we need to be able to disagree without hating.
Conservatives turned against democracy after they'd lost the '60's.
"Government isn't the solution to the problem, government IS the problem."
Wow! What a great interview!
Brilliant interview!!!
enjoy watching all this series of interviews and all I can still come away with is my question...over 70 million people voted for Trump and what does that say about a culture? All these intelligent, articulate people telling how flawed Trump was on so many levels. Or is it all levels? Yet due to power everyone is willing to sell a bit of their soul to partake in the journey. To go on sorry, but his assessment of the press being a pillar and how that has been tarnished is really really critical. Media has become a catering to ideology and not fact. That is really really important going forward. Because it is a pillar of democracy. If no one is intelligent enough to see through the BS there is no hope. Welcome fascism or dictatorship.
This extended interview footage is excellent.
Anthony Scaramuchi really knows the candidates.
Nice! I love Frontline!!!!! This is some quality content.
How intelligent people get behind Trump is beyond me.
Of course it's beyond you. LOL
intelligent people who understand the historic importance of American Constitutional governance over all other models know that Trump was the only realistic choice to support in 2016 and 2020. anyone claiming otherwise is a liar, a fool, or both.
@Derrick A enjoy your despair this November.
@@Jeton6 that must mean you think you're intelligent
@@stalker7892 dont let my self-image concern you too much, just try not to chew your fingers off when Trump is re-elected.
Fascinating seeing a hybrid of Harvard meets New York street wise working class.
The Mooch is in complete denial of how far right and how militant the Trump base is. They are talking about civil war and spew toxic White Nationalism.
Do you own a mirror?
No...a magnifying glass on people like you...traitor.
@@bwagner1800 You clearly don't have a window in your bubble either. Get outside, take a breath and a look around. Must stink in there.
@@hebber1961 You are in the bubble. You're 30-40% of the public. The rest of us see you for what you are. Nobody is wearing those MAGA hats anymore in public. I rarely see them where I live. You all watch one news station...that is the definition of a bubble.
@@bwagner1800 Well first of all, I live in YOUR bubble. We all do. Unlike lefties, I get news from many areas. How would you know where I get news? I'm here for one thing, watching you watch an opportunist and all the lefties loving him...now that he trashes Trump. lol.
Secondly, Brian Wagner's poll of MAGA hats should be tried by pollsters. It's only slightly less dumb than their methods. Did you ever think that people don't like to be attacked for wearing them? Open minded, caring lefties who attack people for a hat. That's many of you and if you don't participate, you certainly like those that do. Who's extremist here?
So far, you think a large segment of the population is far right and militant, and a hat poll is an indication of support... oh and that a country on a massive economic rebound, is in distress. lol
Just stop while you're behind.
This interview in particular was a FASCINATING insight into the political process and into Trump, thank you very much.
“Trump was the avatar to express their anger.”
This was one of the best descriptions I’ve heard.
I knew Scaramucce was cerebral but in this interview he gives us a look into just how thoughtful and intellectual he really is. And he is self-effacing and charming.
A great interview, thank you PBS
I had no idea he was this pleasant and knowledgeable
Very well said - good show.
Really good interview. It provided a good inside to Trump and it showed Mr Scaramucci as a smart man, I didn't know either of those things before this interview.
Dang if you are feeling loss or old, just remeber Michelle Obama, Barack obama, and The Mooch were all still in law school at age 23.
Ty for this interview!
This guy sounds like a wizard now after everything that happened.
Brilliant discussion
Scaramucci has a Harvard law degree, speaks well and looks good - So why hasn’t CNN or MSNBC or FOX given him a show yet? He obviously is looking for a gig .... they should give him a shot.
Anthony I would vote for you for President! You are full of common sense and good character!
This guy is very intelligent..
This man is brilliant..and distinguished.
Massive vocabulary. Left or right, very good speaker
He is a lawyer before left or right, you really live in a bubble, huh?
Not “ massive “
@@wordwarrior2350 yep, agreed
I agree. You could even say: He has the best words.
@@eliteviktor3Anthony Scaramucci has never practiced a single day of law in his life. The bubble's occupancy is one: you.
I am so impressed with this guy. I love that he has a blue collar background and can understand both worlds. Very impressive man!
Mr Scaramucci you actually have a great point i enjoyed your interview.
I've listened very intently and he's right
Good speaker, informed and eloquent very good thank you
Love the Mooch!
Beautiful interview!
This was a good one
I used to think that Scaramucci was a foul-mouthed, cynical chancer. But, the man is erudite, articulate, intelligent, and interesting.
While I never saw a single episode of the Apprentice, I did pick up on the phrase "Trump, your fired!"
