Seven years ago I would have thought you were insane if you said that I would one day not only respect Anthony Scaramucci's intelligence, but actually like him as a person.
This is the first time I’ve seen him and he’s a clown. Deporting illegal immigrants and temporarily detaining them is a concentration camp? And he said DEI ie discrimination is good?
I cannot believe how much I like Scaramucci. This is one of the most relatable, humble yet successful dudes I've listened to in a long time. I feel like I could talk to this guy for hours. Great pod.
Anthony’s humility has resulted in him becoming one of the most trusted & respected men in this country. I’m old, & I’ve had my failures alongside my successes, & that degree of introspection is commendable. Young people, learn from Anthony. If you fail at one thing, it was only ONE thing at that one time. Get up & try again!
That was a great podcast. Anthony Scaramucci is inspiring and wonderful guest. Anybody who get gets kicked out of Trump’s White House after 11 days is in my good books.
Mooch is more of a moderate which is where most Americans live. Regarding Project 2025 I saw this posted and sadly I believe that it may not just be hyperbole. “A storm is coming, people. Let's not be caught off guard like other countries that are now run by fanatics. For instance, Iran in the '70's was a tourist friendly, free and open country with a robust economy, a rising film and music industry and nightclubs. Now it's a closed off theocracy where women have no rights and the government shoots it's critics without a trial. This is what Project 2025 will do to us.”
this is important, thank you Prof G for adding this to the political conversation. I'm a life long progressive and I love intellectually honest conservatives, and the Mooch has earned my respect.
I am shocked! The Mooch is the man, I never thought I'd say that, He was such a joke after he left the White House, but he is absolutely the opposite of his old image. He is smart, knowledgeable, funny and a great storyteller. Brilliant! You guys should have him on the show more often!!!
This was a fantastic conversation. This is the best discussion on real world political startegy I've seen in a long time! I think Scaramucci should definitely be placed higher up on that list he referenced. Well done!
Just trying to be honest here... back when the mooch was comm director he struck me as a used car salesman. Here he comes across as just more honorable. I like this redemption arch.
I uploaded those 900 pages of Project 2025 as a pdf to ChatGPT and asked it to summarise it. The result scared the life out of me. I'd recommend doing the same to anybody undecided about how to vote in November.
Yes, highly recommend people listen to that. Both are excellent. And for people who were a bit surprised by Scaramucci… He is a great story-teller, including historical context, he makes the complex simple and is very self aware. I think he’s a fantastic commentator, and definitely has the personal experience with trump over a long period of time.
I am a huge fan of Galloway and Scaramucci, first time watching Prof G show and liking it so far. You all should also check out Anthony and Katty's podcast called The Rest is Politics. Great analysis and the hosts have a great banter back and forth.
Great show! I believe Anthony’s comments about Trump fearing Newsom. I know someone who is a Trumper, and right after Biden’s debate debacle, he said, “well, who are they gonna put up-Newsom?” At that moment I realized that the right was very afraid of him. I always thought he was impressive, and I hope the Democrats hear Anthony’s take on this.
Well, apparently, I'm not your average listener. I am a post-menopausal 56 year old woman who is interested in finance and politics (almost to a fault). I have heard Scaramucci numerous times on other podcasts as well as on MSM news programs and have come to respect him tremendously.
Maaaaan, as an Eastern European I am scared for the future of America. There was a time America was the IDEAL, the aim, the dream for us. Now here we think how to evade the fate that the US is headed to. Hope you guys get it together...
This was a god damned great podcast. Intelligent questions, probing questions, insightful questions, meaningful questions. And you let your guest talk. 52 minutes of excellence!
I have heard Anthony on some other podcasts as well and he’s surprisingly reversed my negative opinion of him that was formed during his tenure in the Trump administration.
Great interview/guest, can't help but feel like that had to be edited down from three hours to one and Prof sliding a Boeing joke was so slick. For the record, I would've watched/listened to the three hour version as well. Thanks for putting this out there.
Go Scott! Go Scott ! Let’s get Newsom, Whitman on the podium now! Thanks for having Anthony on and great to be able to pick his brain so we can strategize!
I can listen to Anthony all day. So articulate. Great storyteller. Sharp and authentic. Glad he’s helping take down Trump. He should be special advisor to Democrats campaign.
Anthony keeps it real and it’s hard not to like the guy. I’ve seen many interviews with him with different personalities and he just nails it every time . I would be honored to have a beer and talk with Anthony Scaramucci anytime! Awesome guy 👍🇺🇸. Thanks Ant! Thanks Scott!
The irritating factor with Biden is the fact we (voters) could see last year he was ageing rapidly and knew it was time for him to pass the baton to a younger stronger candidate with communication skills !! We knew there was a good chance Biden would have some age event occur before the election. After 80 yo the likelihood of health events increases 10% per yr. Knowing that alone means that 4 more years is nearly impossible. We also if Democrats were to actually hold real primaries almost anyone could be beat Dotard as long as they were younger, articulate, & centrist. Instead Dems gave us the weakest candidate we cold possibly ask for in terms if communication skills & age. If you cant sell yourself you can't win, I like Scott's idea, in fact I think it would be the best way to go from this point forward.
I agree. Did you see when Biden was asked if any other Democrat could beat Trump? He was walking away when asked and he stopped,turned around and said "Ya, about 50 of them!" JEEZ!
I still think that Obama/Harris will be a last moment swap. The trick is that they don't have much dirt on them and the Democrats want to keep it that way so they don't let them run long enough for some dirt to float up or for them to make a mistake. Mark my words!
Performance in accomplishments, experience and integrity matters. Tuck him in early, he'll be fine. Tonight NATO talk another scheduling problem. Who has his ear? Rev Lee? Hillary had a couple of rotten apples in her campaign. Republicans infiltrate and plant themselves in other's worlds. Careful locally. 🧲📣💙
I have honestly never seen Professor Galloway so numbstruck into near silence by a Supertalker. Is it charisma? Charm? blather? Gob Gabble? Salesmen. They always make my skin crawl. I met the Mooch in 2010 and he did the exact same thing: had a bunch of finance bros and yagama actuaries stunned into silence like the snake from Jungle book "Trusssst in meeeeee....Lemmie tell you one more story." Jeeesh.
Amen. Preach, brother. This is the best podcast I've heard this year, and I've heard a lot. Hell, Mooch gave me goosebumps at one point, and that's hard to do at my age. Ten thumbs up! 🔥
I just caught this podcast on Apple Podcasts, and I had to see if it was on RU-vid. Scaramucci is great, who knew he was a comedian. A pretty slick guy, but he gets the concept of America at least and understands the threat of the far Right. Love the comment about Steve Bannon at 28:10
Thank you for another brilliant guest. Humility, calmness and intelligence always makes a great guest and listeners a lot smarter. His final story about his son putting his arm around and asking if he would be okay told us two things: His son is a compassionate and caring human being and part of why he is that way is that he has a wonderful dad in his life. Thanks to all at #ProfG for composing such a important episode.
You guys are on a roll! Recently every new episode is my favorite of all time. Even the ad sponsors are noteworthy. Kudos to both of you "front men“ as well as your staff! Mr. Scaramucci: totally impressive!
I'm very surprise by this conversation! Arguments so well presented and a way of discussing that gives a lot to think about. Well done gentlemen for this interview. I would have liked a question or two from Ms. Swisher.
Last year Business Of Fashion reported that Saks had not been paying their vendors for months. Two factoring firms stopped insuring deliveries to Saks. HBC (parent) sold off 340M in real estate to secure merchandise for the holiday 2023 season. This will be very bad for all parties involved.
Anthony Scaramucci is very well read on all these fascist types. I have seen him on different news outlets but man he unloaded some brilliant points. This is what we all need to hear more of. Great job!
Fantastic show and I share the sentiment about your guest. I started listening to his podcast with Katy Kay a few weeks ago. I do wish he had spoken more about project 2025. In particular, I hear my Trump supporting friends dismissing concerns about it because it “isn’t Trump’s policy,” or even the GOP’s. However, I don’t see any clear policy positions from Trump and it seems that the Heritage Foundation has been in control of GOP policies and judicial nominations for a long time. So how worried should we be?
Anthony Scaramouchi has a wonderful podcast of mostly Authors. He's an avid reader. His wife doesn't want him to run for office, even IF he aspires to leave his hedge fund.
One of the BEST discussions ever! Thanks for showing us that maybe there’s hope yet for our country. Never heard of this guy before, but I’ll definitely look for more of his commentary.
Bloody brilliant, here on the other side of planet earth, I have only recently started checking anything I see with Anthony involved the dude is superb to listen to as are you 2 on the Prof G show, Ngā mihi nui, bruce hopkins here in Aotearoa new zealand
Melania met DT in 1998, married him in 2005 and gave him a son. 26 years later this speaks volumes. As a Canadian it matters not to me who wins your next election but I can say that even DT's ex-wives remain(ed) loyal to him following divorce. This also speaks volumes.
Loyal how? Neither Melanie nor the surviving ex-wife showed up to support him at his recent trials, not even the 34 count felony conviction. Melania doesn’t even show up for his birthday or when he arranged for her to get an award. Surely they have noticed his first wife is now in an overgrown plot on the backside of a golf course. They may like the benefits of the money he spends, but I don’t see real affection or desire to support him.
