is easily irritated and has trouble synthesizing information? those who have read the book say it s a lot of anecdotes, it sort of reinforces what people know. what do you make of it? yeah, i think that s the problem with the rollout of this book. fundamentally it s not advancing and filling in more detailed a picture than what we know of this president. me as a reporter who covered both his campaign and the white house, i hear these anecdotes every day from people who work inside the white house. they re reported in the new york times, the washington post and elsewhere. this book doesn t actually advance the pauball. especially the fact that the author is anonymous, usually journalists extend confidentiality to sources when the only way they can get that information to the public is by protecting his identity. now the author has done that and says he doesn t want to make the story about himself. but you have to deliver the goods.
written a book, is just appalling to me. reporter: former deputy f.b.i. director andrew mccabe, who was fired last year for lying about a separate issue, previously told 60 minutes that former deputy attorney general rod rosenstein raised the 25th amendment shortly after the president fired former f.b.i. chief james comey. rosenstein was actually openly talking about whether there was a majority of the cabinet who would vote to remove the president? that s correct, counting votes or possible votes. reporter: in an interview to air on cbs sunday morning, norah o donnell asked former u.n. ambassador nikki haley about efforts to oust the president from office. were you ever part of any discussion invoking the 25th amendment against the president? the 25th amendment never came up in any discussion i had. reporter: even though this book doesn t come out until later this month, it s already near the top of the bestseller list. white house press secretary

only a page long. there was only one copy. some members were illiterate. so the house clerk read the bills out loud so everyone could hear the legislation. the house is supposed to do that today but always weaves that role. in college, just because a professor assigns the book doesn t mean that students read it. the same as the case with reading the bills in congress congress. on capitol hill, chad pergram, fox news. mike: we ve got a very special guest coming up next, duck dynasty star and author phil robertson spend some quality time with shannon, discussing the big issues. it s the age-old struggle between good, god, and evil, the devil.
remember, part of the appeal of donald trump to his base is that he was an outsider. that he did not know the system. that he did not operate the way that washington typically operates because the washington that his base is used to has left them behind, at least in their mind in terms of all of the large that america has received over the years. it s an interesting study in getting what you pay for. that s why i am again interested in what this will mean, if anything, to people who read the book, support the reporting, believe in bob woodward s unimpeachability and whether that makes for a tangible change in the electric in 2018 and 2020. we already know that people are either concerned or upset even within his base about donald trump s actions, but concern is one thing. votes have power. and if the book doesn t motivate voters to do something different, that says something else about america that might be more troubling, might be more concerning, but we just have to
