Mr. Woodward was spot-on when discussing the 2016 election and knowing who these people are, (presidential candidates). I think the press did a fabulous job exposing Trump, while Trump exposed (to put it mildly) Clinton, but even that was still not enough to get non-registered voters to register and vote, and registered voters to vote. So, in a perfect world, the press adequately exposes candidates, while citizens perform their duty and vote. Whereas in reality, non-voters determined the 2016 election results and is why we are where we are now!
I waited 10 minutes for the discussion to start. This guy, Bernstein, really like to hear himself talk, he went on and on and on before we get to hear from the two guests.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE of an emcee, moderator, whatever, thinking IT'S ABOUT HIM!! It's like "open mic" at a wedding. SHUT UP and get to the subject of the meeting/presentation.
Woodward likes to constantly interrupt and get his views across. I would much rather hear more from Mr. Butterfield about what happened from his point of view. We have already heard what Mr. Woodward has to say, from many sources.
John Dean testified before Alex Butterfield. He stated that he thought the conversations were recorded. When Mr. Butterfield testified, they asked him if there were recording devices. Wonder where they got that from? I don't.
I think that really good journalists don´t necessarily let general public know, exactly how well they really know politics and most importantly, politicians. They just write their stuff step by step.
Bob Woodward‘s continuous sanctimonious retrograde criticism of Nixon can get old. Much of what he says is true, but 100 years from now Nixon will be important, and no one will know who he or Bernstein was. I always get a kick out of the fact that liberals can be so sympathetic to some people but so harsh on others. In Woodward‘s case, I think a lot of it is just about his constant and unremitting self-promotion. It’s almost as though he needs to keep telling the same story over and over again to make himself relevant.
Woodward is a conservative. The relevancy that pre-occupies him are the anti-democratic lessons of Watergate which persist and lately (2016-2020) have intensified.
Throughout this and other presentations, I find Woodward boring distraction, forever attempting to establish a relevance that does not exist. Let Butterfield talk and shut up Booooob !
What hypocrite he makes his career over the back of Nixon. It makes me sick to watch guy over and over again. Nixon-Kissinger opened the door to China ended the Vietnam war and here this guy filled his pocket over Nixon mistake. What a patriot??? This guy makes me sick.
He did withdraw the troops, thus ending America's involvement Vietnam, but he did so when he was up for re-election. He ran on a pledge that he would end US involvement in the war during his first year in office. Instead, he ordered secret B-52 bombings of North Vietnamese base camps in Cambodia as a signal of his eagerness to escalate the war. The American people had to wait 3 more years before Nixon finally delivered on that pledge. Nixon did not end the Vietnam War, per se. He just withdrew all the troops from Vietnam. When the North Vietnamese Army tanks rolled through the gate of the Presidential Palace in Saigon, that effectively ended the war in Vietnam.
He and his colleague busted the President in a massive lie and cover up which was so bad that Republicans joined in and Nixon resigned juuuuust before he could be impeached.

With a name like Bernstein you already know who you’re dealing with. One of them
11:22 the "talking about what we're talking about" prefatory remarks finally stop and the actual talking finally begins.
Thank you, Bart Alder.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE of an emcee, moderator, whatever, thinking IT'S ABOUT HIM!! SHUT UP and get to the subject of the meeting/presentation.
Thank god. Can’t listen to these boring old men babble on about nothing
fascinating. I look forward to one day reading this important book.
starts at 11:22
Thank you
I’m 7 minutes in and it’s all thanking each other. I’m out.
Exactly lmao. Big suck off fest: welcome to politics
A NEARLY 12-MINUTE "INTRODUCTION"? NOBODY came to hear YOU, dude...!!
You're so right
Thanks for letting us know about the 12 minutes of hot air. I was able to slip through it to hear from Woodward & Butterfield
Geez, what a waste of valuable time

He told the truth for the country, you don’t serve a man you serve the people of these United States. 🇺🇸
Could’ve taken another 3-hours of that. 👍👍
Happy this is available but wow, the first presenters monotone voice is beyond hard to listen to. Turning it off
Bernstein gahhhhh you couldn’t have let Butterfield answer the last freaking question!? 🤦♀️
Aaargh. Got right to it. It hurts.

Absolutely agree;
We all are very aware of our California friends who cannot tolerate Mr.Woodward. let it be!!!
John Dean testified before Alex Butterfield. He stated that he thought the conversations were recorded. When Mr. Butterfield testified, they asked him if there were recording devices. Wonder where they got that from? I don't.
Woodward seems ignorant about politics. Politicians don't let the public know who they "really are."

Sure Nixon will be remembered in 100 yrs. So will Hitler.

Completely agree

He most decidedly did NOT end the Vietnam war. Christmas bombings, etc., mean anything? It didn't officially end 'til Ford.
He did withdraw the troops, thus ending America's involvement Vietnam, but he did so when he was up for re-election.
He ran on a pledge that he would end US involvement in the war during his first year in office. Instead, he ordered secret B-52 bombings of North Vietnamese base camps in Cambodia as a signal of his eagerness to escalate the war.

Why watch him over and over again if he makes you sick? Perhaps there is something wrong with you.
You make me sick.
He liked Nixon but betrayed him!
Betrayed?...LMAO. He swore an oath to Nixon?
@@pavanatanaya yes that’s how it works. Just not on paper.
I think he betrayed his boss!

The guy with glasses, too annoying of a voice
Hah hah, one of the most important journalists in the history of the USA. Really "annoying".
A painfully slow talker
