Explosive revelations about life inside the white house have been revealed, everything from what the president s staff thinks of him to questions about the president s mental capacity. This is in a new tellall book that came out this weekend. But just how much is fact and how much is fiction . Joining us to break it down, moderator of meet the press, chuck todd. You talked to the author, Michael Wolff, fire and fury. Whats your take . People are saying look, if only 10 of the stuff is true, it paints a vivid picture. Look, the experiences he had and the recounts from staffers and things like that or similar to the experiences ive had covering this hearing various people that work for him say surprisingly negative things about the man they work for. So, in that sense, it wasnt a surprise, but i was shocked to see it all on the record in any form, you know. This stuff has always been told to me on an offtherecord setting. He says he didnt burn a single scorch, that he never took anything that was given to him off the record and put it on the record. He said if he left anything out, because theres been some criticism that he just set a narrative. Narratives out there that its this and he wrote to the narrative. I said, did you leave out positive things that people said . He said if he left anything out, it was even more damaging stuff. He said the idea of the 25th amendment is something that gets talked about fairly regularly inside that white house. Wow. All right, switching gears, this week we saw two influential republican senators ask the Justice Department to investigate the creator of this trump dossier. So i guess the question is, what does this mean for the russia house, youre ecstatic about this development, because it muddies the waters. Here you have, especially who its coming from. Lindsey graham is one of the two senators. Hes been among the president s toughest critics on russia for most of 2017. Of late, he seems to be a little, you know, buying into the skepticism that there is on the right about the russia investigation, at least when it comes to the issue of the socalled dossier. Hes calling for a Second Special prosecutor, one to essentially investigate the investigators beyond this department. Wow. Well, if youre the white house, if you cant get rid of the Mueller Probe, then dilute it, right . Thats your next best option. So, as a Public Relations issue for the white house, this is a helpful development to that. But at the end of the day, they still, you know, the Mueller Probe still goes on, and we still dont know we dont know everything he knows. We only know what weve been able to report. And i guess fair to say, dilute it, but also redirect possibly for this fbi investigation, the Clinton Foundation as well. You also have that, the Clinton Foundation and the hillary email investigation, which smacks of this idea that somehow were bordering on having a president who has been tweeting and whining about this for months, that he does it and the Justice Department says, okay. Were now opening stuff. They say they werent influenced by it, but theyre certainly aware of the president s wishes. Got you. Never a dull moment. Nope, never a dull moment. Not at all. Thats coming up. Meet the press is coming up in just about ten minutes right here on news4. You can catch chuck there, catch all those interviews. A jampacked show.

Check your tickets, people check your tickets, seriously. You know what, though, i would be really careful about it, too, because you dont necessarily want to jump into it. Thats a decision you want to weigh how youre going to take the money, if you want to get it public or private, that kind of thing. Are you telling your family . Of course, maybe. Maybe i would tell my family, but i wouldnt want to tell the media. Id probably stay out of the media. All rit, know when its going to warm up. The numbers are looking a lot warmer than today. Thats a lot of numbers. Temperatures today in the upper 20s. You know what, we are headed to the upper 50s, near 60 by friday, so there is hope.
