no, you know, ithink roger ailes might have been in a bit of shock.ting to my right, he said, you know, "these guys are a little right of my tastes and i'm a life—long republican". he was surprised, but bannon, he is full steam ahead. he was invigorated, i think this whole notion we have of him that he is foaming at the mouth and crazy and he had given an interview to michael wolff that made news before this dinner where he said "i'm darth vader, i'm satan". he came in with a great mood and sat down and one of the first thing he said, we are going to move the embassy tojerusalem in israel and they had a discussion about that. then they started ticking off cabinet appointments, supreme court appointments. they were, he was... i would say it was his relationship with the president was he was a take charge guy and there were things he said that made me think he didn't think donald trump was dwell on the details. he was entrusting bannon. to today now. a lot of what wolff recounts suggests a man in the white house who is not really in control of his facul

>> michael wolff became an ally of roger ailes once roger ailes was filed from fox news. and roger ailes and steve bannon from my understanding formed an alliance to help belittle or stop rupert murdoch's influence on trump. >> and when you spoke to michael wolf, at whose behest did you do that? >> i don't do it on anybody's behest. michael invited me. >> sam nunberg, thank you. >> by the way, i like michael and i'm not disputing anything he quoted me on, it's sometimes just out of context. >> appreciate your time. >>> amidst pressing questions about trump's fitness for office, republicans are taking extraordinary measures to protect him. the ridiculous stuff they tried to pull today just after this. >>> michael wolff's book portrays a president who's seen as incompetent, childish and unable to absorb basic information. even before the book, trump repeatedlystaked out authoritarian positions, increased the odds of nuclear war and been accused of obstruction of justice and much more. republicans in congress have responded to all of this not by trying to contain or even rem

i talked to roger ailes, who i knew him slightly. he was amazingly a big fan of the "hollywood reporter" as someone who grew up in entertainment, and he and his wife, had a spirited discussion about the accusations levelled against him at fox news. spoke quite candidly about rupert murdoch and a lot of personal discussion about the impact the news was having on his son. one of the fascinating things about the conversation with roger and his wife. in his heart he truly believed he had done nothing wrong. >> interesting. >> and elizabeth -- they were a couple, if you didn't know the backstory and clouds around him, would think it's very nice older couple in love -- >> i want to ask. sorry. ask you about a few quotes from the book, that dinner. roger ailes asked steve bannon quote, what has he gotten himself into with the russians? then president elect trump. >> he went to russia, thought he would meet putin but putin didn't give a -- word -- about him. did you hear that? is that accurate? >> i heard a discussion, couldn't say verbatim

he was such an intimate and a — so warmly received by steve bannon and roger ailes, and also roger ailes'srust and intimacy with them that the conversation we had that night was stunning. it was — the thing from start to finish went for five hours. they poured their hearts out about the republican party, and how they were going to — who they were going to put into cabinet. roger ailes offered to coach candidates in their congressional testimony. they talked of rudy giuliani, who wanted to be secretary of state and was disappointed not to get the position. steve bannon said they owed him something, because he had come out forcefully and spoke on the shows in the united states, when no—one else would, after the access hollywood tapes. roger ailes said, you know what you do? just let him be photographed walking out of air force one. just detail after detail that, were they openly spoke so comfortably in front of michael. to any way characterise him — you can try to dispute the facts, which i think is not... but you cannot dispute the relationship he had with people in the white house. tempera

>> so michael wolff became an ally of roger ailes fired from fox news. roger ailes and steve bannon, from my understanding, formed an alliance to help belittle or stop rupert murdoch's influence on trump. >> when you spoke to michael wolff, at whose behest did you do that? >> not any anybody's behest. michael invited you. >> all right. sam nunberg, thank you for making the time. >> by the way, i like michael. sometimes a little out of context. >> thank you very much. appreciate your time. >>> just ahead, amidst questions for trump's fitness for office, republicans are trying to protect him. the most ridiculous stunt they pulled right after this. ♪ you don't like my lasagna? no, it's good. -hmm. -oh. huh.

news chief roger ailes. mostly said bannon, he went to russia and thought he was going to meet putin, but putin couldn't give an expletive about him so he's kept trying. now a person at that dinner said that actually happened. your response? >> mr. bannon wasn't even there during these meetings, these conversations. so i don't exactly know how he's credible in this. i'm not exactly sure who she is -- >> he was obviously at the dinner because he had the conversation with roger ailes. >> i'm saying i don't know anybody else at that meeting -- or that dinner who's corroborated that. >> yes, janice minn was there and is corroborating that. >> i'm saying who else was at the dinner? >> now that's two people. that's bannon and another person at the dinner. roger aim eailes is obviously n longer alive. >> that's what i'm saying, you're using one person to try and make your point. i'm telling you there are multiple people at the dinner. you're just picking and choosing which ones to believe. >> they are the only two

how can you trust this is what roger ailes said? after all, roger ails is no longer with us. turns out, according to wolff, he was the one who hosted the dinner. he was there for watching as bannon was trying to convince roger ailes that steve bannon had donald trump in lock step with the bannon way of doing things, the nationalism way of doing things. the fox news way of doing things. >> "the washington post," i'm sure you read the article, raised some of the same issues. he noted that wolff in the past has been called blunt, pathetic and calculating. a provoketeur. he has been accused of not just recreating scenes, but of creating them wholesale. essentially saying here's a guy that makes stuff up. do you find him to be credible? >> listen, i should point out that michael wolff has attacked me personally. help wrote a nasty review of my roger ailes biography. i'm no fan of michael wolff. that said, i think this is actually credible. the thrust of this book, that the people closest to the president of the united states find him to be mentally and emotionally unfit for office

i think there is a feeling in the ailing camp that that fourth test in melbourne, while it wasn't a triumph because they only true, it did at least show they could stay competitive with australia for longer periods of time for stub if they could build on that in the fifth test in sydney and get a victory, it might vindicate some of the decisions they have made and ta ke of the decisions they have made and take some of the pressure off some of the key figures in that england can. of course they have failed in their mission ultimately because the ashes are gone, but a victory here would perhaps give them something to build on, going into

among them, former "fox news" boss and confident roger ailes. quote does he get it? did trump get where history had pit put him? he took a sip of water. he gets it. he gets what he gets. >> according to the book, ailes also questioned trump's understanding of health care. as the debate rages -- >>> explosive new book lieutenaalso details interesting conversations about the fallout from charlottesville. he called for guidance asking where does all this end, are they going to take down the washington monument, mount rushmore. with him vacationing bannon urged him to condemn violent and. >> but jared and ivanka urged presidential behavior. their plan was to have trump return to the white house and address the issue with a forceful censure of hate groups and politics. exactly the unambiguous position trump would not be willing to take. the jar va -- >> wolff adds this quote. privately trump kept trying to rationalize with someone would be a member of the kkk. they night not actually believe what they believed and t-- who knows what they believe now? trump of course blame

and after -- and michael -- after the death of roger ailes, roger ailes' widow, elizabeth, gave michael permission to use information from the dinner and then steve bannon took the record -- took the dinner from off the record to on the record. that's permitting michael to use the information. day we they were in a relaxed, you know, no reporting environment at the type and thime, they lai out what they were going to do for the next three months, who was going to be in the cabinet roger ailes offered to coach people through their testimony for congress it was, i mean, everything it was stunning. >> sounds like a fascinating -- i want to be on the invite list next time, janice. >> right. >> let me peel back, obviously you vouch for the accuracy of the account of the dinner but there are others who have disputed very directly quotes attributed to them >> right. >> gary cohn just in a statement to eamon javers denies calling the president dumb, similarly mr. mnuchin has, similarly tom barrack, his close friend, has said the same thing. put me into an editor's chair working with michael wol

this is bannon allegedly talking to roger ailes.he idea here is that it was trump who was being the aggressor in the relationship, trying to get putin's attention, trying to curry favor with vladimir putin. >> right. and that's not a secret per se in the sense that if you do a search of donald trump's twitter feed in years past, he has tried to do that in public. so i have to. >> he has been trying in public. this is suggesting he went to russia, tried to get putin to sort of to meet with him and to be a more formal ally. couldn't get it done. >> at the point he might have done that, it was probably more a business arrangement. you can't divorce business from politics entirely in russia. if you can curry favor with the russian president, you get doors opened to you in the financial world. this is the two sides of this whole russia scandal. on the one side, what did the russians want? how organized was their campaign to wield influence over the election. were the allegations they were trying to specifically help the trump campaign ac

roger ailes and his wife elizabeth arrived first.is shortly -- this is on heels of ailes being oefted from fox news. he was not allowed to speak to any media. the two of them were thick as thieves on everything, riz beth and roger. she was his staunch defender, angrier about the way he was treated than he was. really, if you were just -- by their accounts, they simply were baffled, could not believe any of these allegations coming forward, believed people were personally motivated to get ahead in their careers, that roger was a great champion of women. they believed it so much that you could see how they could convince others that it wasn't true. he also was very candid about his feelings about rupert murdock, and i thought tellingly at dinner, roger sat to my right and we were talking about donald trump, and he said, roger said, you know, i'm a lifelong republican, but these guys kind of scare me. many days i thought, since that conversation, what would the nature of fox news be today if ailes had been kept in charge? would it be th

news anchor made headlines a full year earlier when she sued her former boss, the powerful ceo roger ailes for sexual harassment. the case was settled for $20 million. gretchen carlson is with me now. gretchen, welcome to the program. >> thank you for having me. >> you are most welcome because this is a massive conversation and a movement that is some say at a delicate stage right now. do you think that there is sort of a tipping point moment right now, a sort of come to jesus moment about how this is going to go forward. >> i'm calling it a cultural revolution and i don't think we put the genie back in the bottle at this point. so many women and men have felt encouraged, inspired to find that bravery and courage to come forward that i really feel like we're going to continue down this path. my great hope is that it will trickle down to the women who work in all of these industries that are not hollywood, television, or capitol hill, where they're not famous necessarily but still enduring the same type of harassment and abuse. >> let's talk about that. because there obviously reason is a l

he says, what has he gotten himself into with the russians, pressed ailes? he went to russia but thought he was going to meet putin. putin couldn't give an splitive about him, so he's kept trying. >>> that struck me, kimberly, it's present tense. it's two weeks before the inauguration. he kept trying. i don't know what bannon means, but i imagine this is something that might p iq ue the investigation of someone. >> he admired him. he was a leader that was at least strong. perhaps that was just some sort of kinship that he saw and he wanted to continue that. of course we are taking steve bannon's word for this. but i mean, it just adds another level to this ongoing flirtation that the president has had, like a bromance, especially before the inauguration with vladimir putin that does not in any way make him or anyone else in his circle look better as this investigation goes forward. >> michael, where do we go next? >> oh, boy. well, look, we're waiting for the next shoe to drop. is mueller going to bring more indictments, those papers are filed with the grand

ailes died last year, and fox reportedly settled for $20 million. carlson subsequently left fox. last fall, her book on her own experiences was released, titled "be fierce." now, a former miss america herself, carlson was named chair of the miss america organization last week in a move to change its culture. she joins me from connecticut. thank you for being here. congratulations on being named to this position, but it has to be a hard time to step into this role when there was frankly such a messy situation at the miss america organization. >> yes. well, judy, great to be with you. i've always admired you from afar, so thank you so much for having me on your program. this is a call to duty for me as a former miss america i felt this call to help, this is a volunteer position. i've had a lot of those kinds of positions over the last 18 months. really i've turned my life into helping other women and now trying to do what i can to empower women and help all the volunteers within the miss america organization as well. >> woodruff: there were e-mails, vulgar language used by the form

. >> the book quotes people like roger ailes and rupert murdoch for evidence.se are people wolff dined with and spent years covering for other books. but is there more evidence? i can tell you tonight, yeah. the evidence that trump was the washington generals, or as wolff puts it in the book, the producers. that's another plot where people win by trying to lose. here's some evidence. first, trump didn't launch his campaign by donating a big amount of money. he began, basically, from the start with a self-proclaimed billionaire making a loan, cwhih i reported at the time. and while a primary campaign can run over $130 million, he didn't put in 25% or even 5% of that. he began with less than 1%, under $800,000. he wouldn't hire campaign professionals. of course, it's one thing to say, fine, you want people outside the beltway. it's another to say you want the most important job with no professional help. can we stop and think about that for a minute? that would be like trump building a hotel with employees who had never done a building before or launching a seaso

and then fizzle and let's do business protests a roiling the major cities of iran and ailing economy sparking the unrest u.s. president donald trump has praised iranian protesters for acting against tehran's brutal and corrupt regime after days of deadly unrest the people are frustrated with a weak economy and rising food prices economic turmoil spilling onto the streets. the protests began thursday in response to a forty percent price increase for eggs and poultry the government also announced plans to raise fuel prices the moves would have hit the poor especially hard at a time of economic uncertainty inflation is at ten percent unemployment is high and young iranians face weak job prospects this despite the high hopes that many expressed as international sanctions began to be lifted in the wake of iran's nuclear deal. with the sanctions being lifted we hope that foreign capital pours into the country. that will allow us to reopen factories. and then it will be easier for young people to find a job that suits their taste. but that's not what happened in investment did increase but

wolff's new book, "fire and fury," one that stuck out to me, early on a conversation between roger ailes and steve bannon, happened a couple weeks before the inauguration, a dinner hosted by michael wolff in which roger ailes asks steve bannon about russia. he says, what has he gotten himself into with the russians? mostly, said bannon, he went to russia and he thought he was going to meet putin, but putin couldn't give an expletive about him, so he's kept trying. that really struck me, kimberly. present tense, two weeks before the inauguration. he's kept trying. i assume you don't know exactly what bannon means. but i would imagine that this is something that might peak the interest of an investigator. >> i think it certainly would. we saw the president speak in glowing terms about vladimir putin and how much he admired him and he's the sort of leader that was at least strong. perhaps that was just some sort of kinship he saw and he wanted to continue that. i mean, of course, we are taking steve bannon's word for this. but, i mean, it adds another level to this ongoing flirtation that t

i think there is a feeling in the ailing camp that that fourth test in melbourne, while it wasn't a triumphrue, it did at least show they could stay competitive with australia for longer periods of time for stub if they could build on that in the fifth test in sydney and get a victory, it might vindicate some of the decisions they have made and ta ke of the decisions they have made and take some of the pressure off some of the key figures in that england can. of course they have failed in their mission ultimately because the ashes are gone, but a victory here would perhaps give them something to build on, going into the tests against pakistan and india the tests against pakistan and india the summer and the 2019 ashes series backin the summer and the 2019 ashes series back in england. as for australia, they feel that 3—0 is a fair reflection of this series and want to make that four. somewhat ominously this is the australian captain steve smith's home ground and he is desperate to get a big score in this one too. a couple of changes, interesting ones. mitchell starc makes his return for aus

, ailes pitched boehner as his speaker of staff, and the president responded, who is that?ur reaction? >> there's two separate issues. no question michael wolff is a sloppy reporter at times. also no question the president has known speaker boehner for years. they golf together, text, talk on the phone. i don't think it's likely at all he simply doesn't know who he is. it's possible if his name was brought up out of context or he was surprised to hear it or didn't think of him in those terms, he could have had a momentary lapse like that. i don't if i attribute to to wolff being a sloppy reporter. >> thank you guys for the conversation. i appreciate it. >>> coming up next, president trump claims his rhetoric is the reason for this week's diplomatic talks between north and south korea, but is his tough talk really easing the tension? >> tech: at safelite autoglass we know that when you're spending time with the grandkids... ♪ music >> tech: ...every minute counts. and you don't have time for a cracked windshield. that's why at safelite, we'll show you exactly when we'll be t
