After the republican sealed the nomination last year. Much more in a moment with chuck todd and katy tur. And a sitdown with one of the most interesting minds, Malcolm Gladwell, the author of the Tipping Point and blink, gl gladwell is the master of what some call pop science. It is pop science. Its not a criticism, its true. Its the whole point, right . A fascinating sunday sitdown with Malcolm Gladwell. And what happened to Amelia Earhart. Nbcs Kelly Odonnell is live for us at the white house where the president is already tweeting this morning. Kelly, good morning. Reporter good morning, willie. The President Trump woke up at the white house after an important trip. Back in the u. S. President trump can unpack a new, more personal connection to Vladimir Putin, after their facetoface in germany. But another russia connection is hitting close to home. The New York Times reports the president s eldest son, don jr. , held a meeting at trump tower with a russian lawyer with ties to the kremlin back in june 2016. Soninlaw Jared Kushner was also there, along with then Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort. The meeting with not been known publicly. Trump junior said in the statement that he asked jared and paul to stop by for what the president s son called a short introductory meeting. We primarily discussed a program for adoption of russian children. He said want program was not a Campaign Issue and there was no followup. Jared kushner has previously updated his security application to list contacts with foreign officials including this meeting with a russian person. Aides say the president pressed putin about his alleged role directing Cyber Attacks on the u. S. Election for about 40 minutes during their thursday sitdown, telling reporters on air force one i think President Trump handled it brilliantly. Reporter President Trump skipped the chance to explain himself. Rex and i had a tremendous meeting yesterday with president putin. Reporter while Vladimir Putin, who denies any wrongdoing, suggested translator i think that he was satisfied with my answers. Reporter and this issue is still so much on the president s mind, he has already been tweeting about it in a series of messages this morning. The president writes, i strongly pressed president putin twice about russian meddling in our election. He vehemently denied it. Ive already given my opinion. We negotiated a ceasefire in parts syria that will save lives. Now its time to move forward constructively with russia. The president says he pressed putin twice, thats something we had not heard about. Advisers said they talked about the issue for 40 minutes during their two hour 16 minute facetoface. Kelly, thanks. Chuck todd is moderator of meet the press. Katy tur covered candidate trump during the campaign. Shes an anchor at msnbc and the author of a book called unbelievable about her time covering the campaign, available now for preorder, good morning, katy, chuck, good to see you. Playing off these tweets from the president , basically backing of Rex Tillersons account, he pressed putin on whether or not there was meddling, did you do this. It was described by the tillerson camp as a heated exchange. Thats one description. The other side coming from Russian Foreign minister sergei lavrov, saying actually President Trump sort of accepted our assertion that we didnt do anything and complained that his opponents had been exaggerating the issue. What are we to believe without an independent confirmation of either . I think President Trumps tweet just now says it all, willie. He said, ive already given my opinion. We know the opinion he gave 24 hours before meeting Vladimir Putin while in poland when he said, it could have been russia, it could have been somebody else. And questioning the intelligence community, bringing up the no wmds in iraq controversy. So i think we know his stance. He just made it clear, i gave my opinion, he didnt restate it, so we know what his opinion is. The question is how many republicans in capitol hill are comfortable with the idea of lets move forward. That was tillersons message, that now is President Trumps message. Can you just move forward with russia without doing a severe punishment over what they did in 2016 . The Trump Administration would like to. The question is will the rest of the Republican Party go along with it. Katy, when you have two congressional investigations and bob mueller, the special counsel, looking into it, there wont be moving on from it. He says ive already given my opinion. What exactly is his opinion . At times he says its russia, it could be china, we dont really know who it was. I think his opinion is just that, he doesnt want to accept the intelligence hes being given by his intelligence community, which is that putin ordered an attack, a hack, on our electoral system. And thats what im been told repeatedly. But its something that hes not come out and said publicly. He was given a chance, as chuck just said, 24 hours earlier by our own hallie jackson, can you say definitively that russia interfered in our election, and he refused to do it then,y equivocated, it could be china, it could be anybody, nobody really knows. That is where this president stands. It is notable that he will not publicly doubt Vladimir Putin but he will publicly doubt the assessment of our intelligence community. That is something that we have not seen in american politics before, certainly not when the president is standing on foreign soil. With the polish president , bringing up the failure of wmd, recalling that for the world. Chuck, all this while this new report that kelly referenced on front page of the New York Times, between donald trump jr. ,and Paul Manafort with an attorney with ties to the kremlin, the first revelation of a private meeting we didnt know about. Whats the significance here . Look, it could very much be what donald trump jr. Said it was. And this happens on president ial campaigns a lot, an intermediary comes in and says, you have to meet with so and so, they care about this issue. Its possible that its all innocent. The problem is there has been this habit or pattern of Trump Administration officials going, oh, yeah, i forgot about this meeting with a russian, oh, yeah. This all came about because of refiled reports, refiled forms, ethics forms that both Jared Kushner and others have said about this meeting. Now, im also fascinated by the two different responses we got. First you had donald trump jr. Giving a very sort of bland explanation for it. He was just meeting on a specific issue, having to do with russian adoptions. And then later, the trump the president s legal team comes out with a much more conspiratorial statement that somehow connects it to the people that put together the steele dossier and all of that. Im sitting there going, why do you have two different explanations . That makes the initial report i think more damning, because of the way theyve responded. And even one white house source, katy, said it could have been a setup, the russians or the democrats creating a cloud of suspicion. Thats how they do things, though, they dont have a united front, they havent presented that, partially because theyre so inexperienced in the political realm, and constantly because they feel theyre constantly playing defense. They have one set of lawyers coming up with a plan on the fly, and donald junior says one thing, the president comes out and says a third thing, and everybody will have to scramble to figure out what the actual explanation is. Weve seen this time and time again, notably when it came to Donald Trumps firing of fbi director james comey, we had an account that completely contradicted what his press aides were saying to the press and what the Vice President were saying to the press 24 hours ago. This is partially because a lot of them arent very experienced in politics, it could be because donald trump jr. Didnt really know what the protocol was, didnt know who could be knocking on their door saying lets have a meeting. And health care is still sitting on the plate in front of them. Katy, thank you, chuck todd, thank you as well. We watch you of course on meet the press, joined by john brennan and lindsey graham. Catch katy every day on msnbc live at 2 00 p. M. Katy will stick arounds for the highs and lows of the week. Firefighters out west are having an extremely difficult time getting the upper hand on several raging wildfires.

Crews have made some progress in restoring power to some of those customers. But its just one more problem that crews have to deal with in the middle of the skyrocketing temperatures. Willie . Lets hope they get a little relief from the weather, at least. Steve patterson, thank you. Overseas, a ceasefire in southern syria is in effect. As we mentioned a moment ago, President Trump tweeted about the ceasefire, which was one of the items to come out of his meeting with russian president Vladimir Putin.

He visited the Kennedy Space center in florida with the states junior senator, marco rubio. This photograph shows pence touching something labeled critical space hardware with a giant printed warning, do not touch. As you can imagine, social media had a few things to say. The Vice President enjoyed it too, tweeting, sorry nasa, marco rubio dared me to do it. Senator rubio tweeted back, in fairness, i warned the Vice President , you break it, you own it. With President Trump away at the g20, the Vice President had some free time so he got on photoshop and went in for another round, tweeting, okay, so this isnt exactly the first time this has happened. Nasa put out a statement saying the equipment was due to be cleaned anyway, it was fine for the Vice President to touch it, the Space Program was not compromised, thank goodness. Sense of humor from the Vice President. I didnt see it coming. I loved the hand under the warning. How do you do that .

Randy pops one up, the infield converges around it, the first baseman drops the ball, hustling all the way, the third baseman drawn away from the bag, all the way around to third. Technically an error on the first baseman. Well go ahead and call this maybe the first ever infield triple. The first thing they teach you, katy, is sprint out of the box, you never know whats going to happen. Absolutely. And you teach fielders to call it. I got it, i got it. That is every Little Leaguers dream right there, every Little League batters dream right there is that someone is going to make that mistake.

And you can see across the bay area this morning a lot more 50s and 60s to start the day. Cooler to start as evidenced by the 24hour temperature change about 5 to 10 degrees on average.

Several helicopters were used to fight the flames along with a giant sky crane capable of dripping more than a thousand gallons of water at once. Westerlily winds gave firefighters on the ground all they can handle. We tried to stop it before it got to the refinery. We wanted to make sure we stopped it.

Malcolm gladwell was a magazine writer when his first book was released in 2000, the Tipping Point, which sought to explain how a simple idea or behavior catches fire and spreads in society became a sensation, selling more than 5 million copies to date. On and off the book spent an astounding 435 weeks on New York Times best seller list. Since then, gladwell has written four more best sellers, become an intellectual celebrity, explaining the world with his brand of pop science, a term of derigs for some but he accepts. His deep dive into daily life and appreciation for good debate fit into this age of the podcast. He is out with a new season called revisionist history. Naturally it is number one on the itunes list. Malcolm and i got together near his studio in brooklyn for a sunday sit down. You should be constantly revising your conclusions. Malcolm gladwell wants to make you think. There are situations where being bad is highly advantageous. With his podcast, he wants you to think again about what you thought you knew. Its a show about things forgotten and misunderstood. So if you have two categories, forgotten, misstununderstood, ts everything. Gladwell revisits heavy topics like the Civil Rights Movement and problems with higher education, but also thinks deeper than most of us about subjects that cross our daily lives, subjects like fast food french fries. A slice of potato, crispy on the outside, pillowy soft on the inside. Right then and there i gave my heart to mcdonalds. Then mcdonalds broke it. What did you find so interesting about the french fries that you had to do an entire episode of the podcast . Because they change. The french fries i grew up on and you grew up on were completely different from fries they serve now. In 1992 they changed the recipe and turned from being the greatest fast food french fries of all time to being i think they taste like cardboard now. I am embarrassed to say i didnt know they changed. Why would they go change something so perfect. Exactly. Thats what the show is about. They thought they were making them healthier. Who thought they were supposed to be healthy. We dont eat it because it is nutritionally superb. We eat it because it tastes good. If it no longer tastes good, it is not the same. He was born in england, raised an only child in canada with his father a mathematician and his mother a therapist. I grew up in a very small town, rural canada. I had the most uneventful, basically rode my bike, read lots of books. We didnt have a television, didnt have a stereo. Never went to the movies. It sounds men as particular. I would tell my mother i was bored, she would say good, your brain needs a rest. I was like needs a rest . I am in the middle of the countryside, nothing happened. His first writing job was at the conservative magazine the american spectator. He went on to write for the Washington Post and then the new yorker where his article, the Tipping Point, became the basis for the book that changed his life. What about that book caught on . I have no idea. I was baffled at the time and have grown more baffled. Really . I dont think about that book. Havent read it since it was published. Of all my books, it is the one i have the least affection. You dont go back and reevaluate some arguments you made and wonder if it holds up today . Only reevaluate ones i think are wrong. Were there some . Oh, yeah. After the International Success of the Tipping Point, gladwell did it again in 2005 with blink. A book about decisions we make in the blink of an eye. Three years later, another monster best seller called outliers he is a journalist, thinker, teacher, cultural translater, scientist of sorts. You heard grumbling from professors and scientists that say it is pop science and the rest of it. How do you answer that . It is pop science. I answer the criticism saying it is not a criticism, its true. I mean, thats the whole point, right . If i was writing it the way the professor did it, then i should be a professor, but i am not. Of course i am trying to find some way to make them relevant to people. Whatever you want to call it, gladwells accessible writing made him a pop culture star. It is not like i was jailed and trailed by paparazzi. You have more people listening to you, gave you a huge audience waiting for what you said next. People stop me for selfies in the airports. Thats how i define the major life change. My name is Malcolm Gladwell. Youre listening to revisionist history. What do you get out of podcasting that you cant get from the other platforms you have . Its a performance in a way that writing the book is not. Theres things you can do with your voice you cant do on the page. People should know you dont roll in, sit down, start talking. How long is it . Probably 6200 words. Many, many weeks of work. Even more weeks of fretting. One of the topics on his mind today, the mood of the country. As you take a step back, look at the world, america, the culture the way you do, what do you think right now is sort of the guiding idea under girding everything out there. One step forward, two steps back. Very american type thing. I wonder if we arent at the beginning of an extended period of backlash in this country, in the face of overwhelming amounts of change in a small time, what people basically do, they say stop, enough, process through this. Theres this angry, vicious backlash. But when change happens in a hurry, thats what people have to find some way to make sense of it. I feel like maybe we are on the cusp of something similar now, and we just have to get through it. On the podcast he avoids direct contact with politics. You know how you hear that ceos play a lot of golf. Thats golf, crack cocaine, rich white guys. Audience can read into that what i am talking about. Every seemingly small subject like the french fries, is a way to get at something bigger. The show is a lament from what was lost. Fries are the reasons mcdonalds exist. That was the foundational core of mcdonalds franchise and they throw it away. This is why people love you. You have passion for things most wouldnt be passionate about. I feel strongly about the fries. As for changes to the fries, we got a statement officially from mcdonalds. The company says while our oil blend has dhangd over the years along with customers evolving preferences, one thing is for certain, our frich fries continue to deliver great taste using premium potatoes known for producing flavorful fries, cooked to perfection using a canola oil blend. For what it is worth, all due respect to malcolm. I find their fridays excellent. Download his number one podcast on itunes now.

Now with social media you really have an opportunity to be part of the consumer dialogue. Reporter major corporations like cocacola are cashing in, with mega stars like selena gomez who can make an estimated 550,000 per post, thanks to 120 million plus followers. It is very effective. Keeps that authentic vibe that people like to get when on social media. Reporter 40 of people say they purchased an item after seeing an influencer use it on social media, contributing to a billion dollar market this year alone. 5 billion by 2020, according to one forecast. It is money thats funneling down to people like natalie ross ee, who quit her finance job at jpmorgan to do the influencer thing full time. It is a risk i needed to take. Reporter shes closing in on a half million followers who love her aerial photographers, regardless of whether or not those kenneth cole shoes were part of an advertising deal, deals she says can range from 6,000 to 50,000. I have to ask, Everyone Wants to know. How much can you really make on an annual basis . I am in the six figure range and yeah, comfortable. Reporter all of the sponsored posts raised red flags. Selena gomez is the most followed person on instagram. How much is she advertising to us . I think quite a bit. And more than many people may know. Reporter bonnie patton, director at truth in advertising. It is the wild west. Vast majority of social Media Influencers arent disclosing these are ads. Including the cocacola post. Only included the word ad after the post said it violated rules that requires disclosures. So many being influencers, can they even enforce rules .
