After her speech at the Golden Globes, America is abuzz with talk of Oprah running for president in 2020. Winfrey has said in the past that she has no plans to do so. However, in an interview with the LA Times, Winfrey's partner Stedman Graham said she would "absolutely do it."
Should Oprah throw her hat in the ring? Emma Vigeland, Politics Producer at The Young Turks, and Nick Givas, Media Reporter at The Daily Caller, discuss that and more on this week's edition of "Agree to Disagree."
Vigeland and Givas also discuss the fallout in Washington over Michael Wolff's "Fire And Fury." Officials in the Trump administration are fuming over claims made in the book about the inner-workings of the White House. Givas says that people should question the accuracy of the book. Vigeland argues, however, that people should be questioning President Trump's fitness for office aside from the details disclosed in Wolff's tell-all.
