>> we need to point out nearly half of the u.s. population has zero dollars and zero cents invested in the market. >> small investors have continued to yank their money out of u.s. stocks. why? >> theyre struggling from the post traumatic stress disorder from the retail sector. >> thats all about jobs. theres more news though. despite the best efforts of the presidents lawyer, "fire and fury," that bombshell book on the inner workings of the president is flying off the shelves. we should note nb...

The president, some mocking his intelligence. if that was happening in your office, if your staffers felt that way about you, could you run your office properly? could your office function? >> well, obviously, most of those staffers who felt that way are no longer at the white house. i mean, you look at this book, its not a coincidence that the publisher is going to release it quickly. its going to be on the best-seller list. it is about palace intrigue, its about gossip and selling books and ma...

We wont betray them or put on the record what was off. but we can say that the following lines from the book ring unambiguously true. how trump processes and resists information, instinct over experti expertise, ill-preparedness and low regard for key aides. theres this piece in "the national review" who says the same thing, if this surprised you, if what was in the book shocked you, you havent been paying attention for the last year. >> i think there are two ways to read this book. theres a lot...

Theres a commitment to the agenda and an easy working relationship to get it done. >> mac, i assume theres a chiefs of staffs club here, have you spoke on the john kelly since hes been in the white house and given him advise how to handle this? >> no, i have not offered advice. nor have i spoken to chief kelly. i had a couple occasions with him before that. he has a reputation to get things ordered on process and those types of things. youve got to get this in place. but the president is the one...

Portrait of the president, of the way he does his job, of his sort of capacity to lead and to comprehend the information before him as commander in chief and its attributed to a great number of sources inside the white house. some of them have denied the stories in the book, but the reporting in the book is based on an extensive number of interviews, not just steve bannon. >> michael wolff had more to say about steve bannon. i spoke to steve as i spoke to many people throughout the length of the...

Theres trust. certainly theres comments about more discipline or, you know, us not trying to do too much. but nothing like this. and nothing like these kind of interviews and access to an author such as michael wolf who is going to write this book. >> speaking of that access, let me play a little bit of janice minn had to say earlier on this network about how this all came about. >> he said, i dont know what they think im doing. and a different answers would be, im going to keep doing it. until ...

White house? would you have that access to bill clinton? >> i would hope not. theres always the possibility someone gets access, but you find out about it. you have communication with your staff people. if you see something that doesnt strike you, you get on top of it. these were early days. and apparently wolf just worked his way into the white house and got access both in the white house and outside with others speaking to him. again, i dont think we have seen anything quite like this, hallie....

Thinks the justice department is kind of his toy that he can use for his own purposes. and people who are viewing that, and justice department officials, fbi officials are seeing that and saying thats really disturbing. >> good to see all of you. and coming up, bob muellers obstruction case. well talk about new reporting. plus, the white house in crisis i as the author of that bombshell book speaks for the first time revealing how aides really feel about president trump. >> i will tell you the...

Wolff said he didnt know who that was. not true. weve heard donald trump talk about john boehner for years. but on the whole this has rocked the white house, this has overtaken their agenda. they wanted to start 2018 talking about immigration. republican leaders im told are going to camp david this weekend to talk about the agenda. on the same day this book is coming out. so the president will be meeting tomorrow at camp david at the very moment this book is coming out. so the reality here is in...

Desist. theyre not ceasing and desisting. in fact they have pushed the publish date up by four days. its coming out tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. the publisher says we see it as an extraordinary contribution to our national discourse. whats your response to that? >> im no attorney so im going to leave the attorneys to litigate with the attorneys for the -- the spokes people for this piece of tabloid trash, but its pretty obvious that if i were an attorney, there are plenty of accusations in that book th...
