Michael Wolff on Morning Joe. When Mayor Richard J. Daley ran Chicago a half-century ago, he used a word to describe malicious gossip spread by his political enemies. Late in an interview with the author of the hot, hit book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House , Brzezinski and panelist Susan Del Percio ambushed Wolff, beat him up verbally, and kicked him off the show. Early in the segment, she sat with arms tightly folded, glaring at Wolff while others asked about other subjects. Of course, he started the rumor himself but never referred to her by name. Then he reacted to her reaction. This is awkward. As she spoke, Brzezinski took a few sheets of paper in her hands and twice stacked them with sharp raps on the table as if she were a judge wrapping up a case by announcing a verdict and pounding a gavel.

And while waking up and getting to the studio every day is still hard, I can say with confidence that I have my morning routine down to a science. The big challenge for me, of course, is getting enough sleep. My alarm goes off at 4 a. But trust me, no makeup in the world can replace sleep. So I try and push the envelope to get as much shut-eye as possible. A car picks me up to take me to Rockefeller Center and I stumble from my house still in my pajamas. Once on the road, I — you guessed it — fall back asleep.
