Panicked and said, you know, you should talk to someone in the press office. thats because i didnt have my own agenda while i was there, i was trying to serve the presidents agenda. i didnt wanti to say something that would end up in a book that made the president look bad. obviously the white house is full of people who care more about their interests. and i think that flows from the top. you have a president who is self-centered and doesnt care as much about citizens in this country or puerto ...

Staff. he also says ive got the recordings to back this up and the notes as well. as a former white house official, david, how plausible is all of that? generally speaking, how open are white house staffers to talking with people with unfetterred access to the west wing? >> well, im a former white house staffer, but i also served in a white house that was run competently. and i think whether or not you read this book, its pretty obvious this white house is not run competently. i mean look at wha...

York times" story asking don mcgahn to stop the recusal of jeff sessions, his response was everything i did was 100% proper and the intimation was that everything hes done is 100% proper. you disagree with that? you think thats false? >> i do. i think the new book "fire and fury" is matched by the fury of his response and retaliation for it and the pants on fire lies that he has told throughout the year of his presidency. and so i really dont think that he is the most credible witness, and i wou...

Find out more about it, but there does seem to be an avenue it explore here. also it feels like were in a never ending replay of 2016 because were still talking about crooked hillary and the foundation. and my mind is kind of blown that it is 2018 and were still reliving all the drama of 2016. >> we also have new nicknames to consider, peter. we have sloppy steve now, the president reacting to the new book by michael wolff, denies being interviewed by him at the white house. but also slamming st...

You dont need to understand that this white house has been chaotic from a book, you can see the chaotic nature of this white house by the way its prosecuted its agenda over the course of the last year. so the evidentiary piece of the book is to me less important. the american people can look at whats going on, can look at the presidents twitter feed, can look at the ways in which policy has been enacted by this administration, by the ways in which people have been fired and the sort of revolving...

Policy and the agenda ahead, he was asked about why he felt the need to tweet about the book and the subject matter while at this important confab with the top lawmakers as well as members of his administration and cabinet. heres how the president responded when asked that question. why tweet today? >> this morning you were tweeting about your mental state. why did you feel the need to tweet about that this morning? >> only because i went to the best colleges -- or college. i went to -- i had a ...

My real concern is that we now have, as my colleague just said, a stable genius who is probably closer than anyone since the invention of the nuclear weapons to an impulse launch. thats what im most concerned about. >> understandably so. james, you have the president who also took shots at michael wolff, of course the author of "fire and fury" and he says he doesnt know me, he never interviewed me and pointed out that michael wolffs credibility has been called into question by many out there. th...

Book, which certainly hit the newsstands and the bookstores and online with a particular fire and fury, to play on the books title. so the president pushing back hard. also talking about some of the policy and political goals for the year ahead with the midterm races in just a matter of months now and those will be heated contests. he says more republicans are needed in congress at the same time. he said he wants to work with democrats on issues that range from infrastructure to immigration and ...
