richard painter, and cnn reporter michael d'antoni author of "the truth about trump." michael, let me start with you, you're the buyographer here, the number is stunning. there's a difference between perception and free wielding with no care for facts. which one is it for the president? >> well, i think he began his life deceiving. you can talk about the number of floors in trump tower which he's always overstated. or his wealth which he's also always overstated. that was proven in a lawsuit, you know, he made the mistake of subjecti ining himself to a deposition and had to reveal that he wasn't even half as rich as he claimed. so, this is a fellow who started out deceiving people. then, i think he lost any contact with the need to be accurate. so, he's now in an office where people count on him to speak factually. he's not accustomed to that. it's really something that's not important to him. so, we're now facing a president who is a public official and leader of the free world, whom we can't trust to speak accurately. because i'm not sure he knows what that is. >> we

many, many different newspapers, broadcast stations, lots of sources, let me bring in richard painter, and michael isikoff from yahoo news. you heard the president, fake news but i want to remind people of a laundry list of actions to this point. so trump asked for loyalty from comey. to drop the flynn probe and then he fired him. he pressured sessions not to recuse himself from the investigation. and to fire mccabe and he asked a lot of people, including coats and pompeo to get the message out that he was not under fbi investigation. how do you see this latest revelation? >> well i do think it is significant if for no other reason that it does get to the president's mindset. remember, this all begins the obstruction phase of the investigation. it begins with the decision to fire comey. the president asked for his loyalty, he asked him to back off of flynn investigation, and then he fired him. the president then tells lester holt he had russia on his mind when he did -- now the pushback from the white house is always been, no, they fired him for other reasons. because of his handling of the clinto

starring doug jones, richard jenkins, michael stuhlberg, michael shannon, and sally hawkins.ible. every single image of this movie is glorious to look at. i love this film. definitely one to look out for. i guarantee you best picture, best actress, cinematography, and best director nominations for "the shape of water." next up is "dunkirk," my number-one film of 2017. i've seen it six times in theaters, three of those in 70-millimeter imax, and it was beyond mind-blowing. christopher nolan has directed a film here that is beyond belief. i love nolan's direction. i love the simplified script, the time structure. i hope that nolan finally wins a best director oscar this year. definitely see it on the biggest screen possible. i love this movie. and harry styles is actually very, very good in the movie as well. next up is "call me by your name," this film is gonna have a lot of nominations, definitely in the best picture department, and best actor and best supporting actor and possibly best director. it is beautifully shot. takes place in italy. it is a beautifully romantic love

michael: the entire future of the brand is based off of my vision. richardthe owner's son is pushing for a piece of the pie. michael: i think 7% to 10% would be more than fair. lemonis: but his cavalier attitude isn't helping his case. michael: who cares about a $10,000 up-front cost? lemonis: i think we all kind of care about the $10,000. and now a family feud is brewing in the business. richard: what's important to me is the most important thing. michael: you're not making any sense.

richard, let's talk about that latest reporting from kaitlan, michael wolff saying the president had great input, in fact, on the statement crafted on board air force one about the trump tower meeting and that statement we know did not give the whole story. it didn't give the part that really matters here and the president knew it. he wanted to make sure that hillary clinton stuff wasn't revealed. do you see a crime here? >> well, you don't have a crime in making a false public statement, but what it is, is a part of what seems to be a tendency of the white house to go to cover up wherever there is a choice between telling the truth and coming up with some fabricated story. here again, as we saw from the very beginning, the inconsistencies in the story led directly to donald trump dictating a false story about adoptions in place of what actually happened at this meeting when there were so many people who could contradict that initial cover-up story. >> so a cover-up isn't a crime, though? >> a cover-up, if it's an obstruction of justice and has other aspects to it, most definitely ca

michael, we obviously just saw richard nixon, addressing head-on watergate.sident clinton took a different approach as it related to monica lewinsky. what do we expect from president trump tomorrow night? >> in the bill clinton case, this was just after the lewinsky scandal broke. it was exactly 20 years ago this month. a lot of people were saying, what is he going to say about the subject that is on everyone's mind? you know, some people, pretty unrealistically thought he would talk about resignation. bill clinton gave this enormous long speech, never mentioned the scandal, talked about social security and his numbers went up. >> his numbers went up. we could see that with president trump. president trump, on friday, didn't address artificial intelligence or income equality. in a room where business leaders are paramount, he talked about tax cuts and the market and people like it. how important are president trump's words? we are living in an era where we say it doesn't matter. think about fdr, the freedom speech in 1941. this is a moment. could it be a mome

michael also firing very troubling allegations from his. letter. to. the questions are now being raised about the reliability of the. area they pretty much ran up the space. alarm richard gere's but if you're at the listening post here are some of the stories we've been tracking this week michael wolff throws the book at donald trump exposing a dysfunctional white house and a thing or two about the u.s. mainstream news media egypt and the talk show hosts on the front lines of the c.c. government's propaganda efforts night after night after night the protests in iran and the social media battlegrounds that matter there plus years of the press the worst of the worst. in the age of twitter and the twenty four hour news cycle a book launch might seem like a story for a slow news day unless it's fire and fury by michael wolff a journalist who divides opinion on his approach to sourcing and to the facts having inveigling his way into the trouble white house to tell the inside story of the administration he describes a president with the barest grasp of his responsibilities suffering from a gradual loss of his faculties in short wolf goes there using the d. word that mainstre

richard please. first as regards this dossier ok i know everybody spun up about it. michael flynn has pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i. not because of a dossier papadopoulos has pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i. not because of a dossier a lot paul but what about a solution incited by a grand jury not because of a toughie. and the da see my point is what will bring trump and the people around him down are facts ok are facts the dicey a might as well not even exist for a purpose of what it is given it's a wonder in this because i'm going to give you and i don't think there is a god i hear all the hear this whole time what is what the fact that you're referring to please the fact is the ok of you for facts the russians said we want to help you the people said we want to help the russians to help and cetera when you talk time line is hundred times the timeline is important if your answer cna answer peter after i gave b.c. knew the sit on the line is important when did they ask when you asked me a question well the answer is the intelligence community which you may not buy and

. >> carl bernstein, john dean, richard ben-veniste, thank you. >> coming up, what michael wolff hast the claim that he never spoke to president trump about the book and that it lies. >>> we've just gotten reaction from sean spicer, who we named at the top of the program as one of two additional high-ranking officials in trying unsuccessfully to keep jeff sessions from recusing himself from the russia probe. michael wolff responded today. >>> in other news, michael wolff spoke out today and said the fact that the president tried to stop the publication of his book not only helped sell the book but prove its point. quote, i authorized zero access to white house, actually turned him down many times for author of phony book. i never spoke to him for book. full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that don't exist. look at this guy's past and watch what happens to him and sloppy steve. sloppy steve apparently being the president's new nickname for steve bannon. here is some of what michael wolff had to say on the "today" show. >> i absolutely spoke to the president. whether he realize

michael cohen was involved with felix seder and other deals with the trump administration with career criminals, it's a problem. >> richard, there's no contention of anything that happened here being not consensual. it was in the interview that's published, consensual encounter, which is now being denied, but if you read the interview, you can make up your own mind about whether it happened. i guess, to the extent that you don't care about the president being unfaithful to his wife, what ethical issue is there here from your perspective? >> well, the whole thing is disgusting. but we have had disgusting past week to ten days. we have a president who refers to the countries where americans of african descent come from as s-holes, and now we have this, using hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy off silence from some porn star that he's having some kinky sex with. and now he's going to fly down to mar-a-lago, get $100,000 a head on some fund-raiser and guess who's going to pay for him to fly down there on air force one. the taxpayers. that's the big picture here. he probably does not have legal liability with respect to t

richard branson is dyslex dyslexic. >> these are allegations in a book by michael wolff. he's a sleaze bag. >> let us start with our chief white house correspondent halle jackson there in the briefing room getting ready for this briefing set to start in 30 minutes. what are the president's lawyers alleging? >> there's essentially -- issuing the cease and desist letters to both the publisher and the author of this book "fire and fury." the book comes out january 9th. cat's out of the bag to a degree. it's a little difficult to put the toothpaste back here. you have the attorneys for donald trump, for the president, saying steve bannon violated a nondisclosure agreement for example. there is obviously a legal threat here. let me for context point out during the campaign, even before that, donald trump has threatened to sue a lot of people. everybody from lawmakers to the women accusing him of sexual misconduct to the club for growth, none of those suits ended up actually getting filed. so it's a question of the follow through here. although it is worth noting that the attor

we have secretary of the navy honorable richard spencer right here next to me and behalf mr. mr. michael strianese ceo of l3 technology who also is looking for a lot of this technology that he can then present to the secretary to see what it is that can best protect us. i'm going to kick it off with the conversation. i want to remind you all to jump into the conversation you can do that on line through the mobile app and anybody watching at home if you have any questions send them to us on twitter and we will be watching for all of those twitter @#are in cf. anybody is watching on line right now. let's kick it off. michael first tell us about what it is that you want from a disaster standpoint from these companies like mr. strianese' and what is it that you wanted what is it that you need? >> first of all trish i want to thank you for being here and to be with this esteemed group. the topic of putting more money into business is something we are doing more of already. it's not at a level that makes the department happy and as an investor there are trade-offs. i can ask for a buyback wher

michael wolff has said. >> you hear him put out the tweet, stable genius. it's like richard nixon, i'm not a crook. >> yeah, e mean, he handled it in the worst possible way by adding to it. he should have just blown it off and discredited the author, who discredited himself by being sloppy, and let it go. donald trump can not do that. there's a great lesson for anyone wanting to run for president. be careful who you surround yourself with. donald trump, one of his biggest mistakes was surrounding himself with people who didn't have his interests in mind. steve bannon clearly looks out for steve bannon. that is the worst possible chief strategist to put in the white house. >> matt schlapp, let me take this to you. you had steve bannon at the c-pac conference. i remember that early back in 2017, when he was riding quite high. is he done now? >> no. i don't think he's done. i think he's marginalized his voice. most republicans want a big, long break from him and his brand of politics. i think the issues behind him still animate the republican party and the conservative movement

richard: never go up against a pro. sitting to be vice president's right is michael carpenter. he is our senior director at the penn-biden center. he is the former secretary for russia and eurasia and the two of them are the co-authors of the recent article in the same issue, "how to stand up for the kremlin, defending democracy against enemies." their piece addresses many of the same issues as the report by our own bob blackwell on how to respond to russia's intervention in the 2016 election and how to respond to the geopolitical challenge that russia poses to u.s. interests around the world. i returned from moscow a few days ago and i was struck by how limited this relationship is. it is less expensive than it was a during the four decades of the cold war. i am struck by how limited our -- different our views of the world are but also, and it comes out in the article, by the case for exploring the possibility of limited cooperation and meeting the challenges posed by north korea's nuclear missile program or trying to reduce conflict in eastern ukraine or syria. with that, let

alarm richard gere's but if you're at the listening post here are some of the stories we've been tracking this week michael.

blin and richard nixon were both subject to impeachment because of it. so much of the questioning will involve michaellynn's departure. the firing of james comey. why that took place. whether there was any cover-up of the real reasons for those actions. that i think is going to be the heart of what mueller's team will be asking about. >> and it follows what else we learned. that the attorney general of the united states was questioned last week by mueller's team. that's pretty extraordinary when you go to the top of the justice department. >> well, he is a very important witness in this case at two levels. in part because he has given inconsistent answers himself about his connections as member of the trump campaign to the russian government. so he was going to be asked about it. so more importantly, he was a key player in the firing of jim comey and he was a witness to those events. so that will be a very big part that was, i assume, a very big part of what he was asked about when he was interviewing. >> when he testified before congress, we all heard the clips. he didn't remember this. couldn't reme

midwin charles, contributor to "esse e "essence" along with michael conway, serving with the house judiciary committee in the inquiry of richard nixon. i want to ask about a change in tone or rhetoric that i've heard here. before the holidays, it seemed like a lot of republicans were calling into question robert mueller and these other investigations. now you have president trump and others all but sticking a fork in this, saying it's done, it's time to move on. this has played on for a year. it's time to move on to other things and we can talk about what those are in a moment. have you detected the same change or turn in rhetoric? >> to a certain extent, but what's unfortunate is that the president of the united states, as well as all the others who have said that this investigation should be over, don't understand that it just doesn't work that way. this special counsel is charged with looking at whether or not a foreign power, here russia, interfered with our election, our presidential election. and his mandate is to look into anything that comes from that, anything that dovetails out of that, which is why you see with mana

we had the secretary of the navy, honorable richard spencer right here next to me. and we have mr. michael strianese, chairman and ceo of l-3 technology is also looking for a lot of this technology that he can then present to the secretary to see what it is that can best protect us. i'm going to take it off, we'll have a conversation and what remind you all to jump into the conversation, you can do that online through the rndf mobile app anyone watching at home if you have any questions just submit them to us on twitter, and will be watching for all of those, twitter at hashtag rndf for anybody who's watching online or on fox business now. so let's kick it off. first michael, tell us about what it is that you want from an investors standpoint from these companies, like michaels, what is it that you want, what is its unique and what do your investors since expect. >> was for some of what he thank you for being here. it's a real privilege to be with this distinctive so thank you for that. the topic of putting more money into the business is something that the are doing more of come you're se
