I’ve read both of the books these National heroes have written about Nixon and omg they are such brilliant journalists!!
Great interview. ... Woodward & Bernstein will go down in history as 2 of THE BEST REPORTERS EVER!
Kat Potter Also Edward R Murrow.
What about Ida Tarbell who virtually single handedly caused the breakup of the monopolistic Standard Oil, Upton Sinclair whose knowledge of the meat industry and the outrageous activities they were about in producing canned meat products which led to his novel "The Jungle" which reveal how they were endangering the health of American consumers led to the formation of the FDA, Edward R. Murrow and Murrey Marder who exposed the excesses of Senator Joe McCarthy, or David Halberstam and Seymour Hersh who revealed the lying that went on in Vietnam. Hersh was the first one to report the My Lai Massacre. All these reporters were the authors of consequential stories that fundamentally altered the way we do business in the United States. Any capable investigative reporter would have done the same thing as Woodward and Bernstein and the story virtually fell into their lap because they were the reporters on duty at the Washington Post that morning when the Watergate Burglars were being arraigned by the DC court.
Obviously Ben Bradlee determined these two young men were enthusiastic for the story and so assigned them to it. And both being ambitious and skillful journalists doggedly stayed at it. I would expect nothing less from well trained reporters. And of course most of us saw the movie "All the President's Men" the dramatically telling of it that Robert Redford was the driving force behind it and who played Woodward in it alongside another great American actor Dustin Hoffman. That movie forever fixed in our minds what a great investigative reporting can do. It inspired many to want to emulate them and for awhile much of the American press seemed intent to reveal any negative story about individuals as another Watergate type scandal, almost to the point that the word "Gate" was affixed to any story that shown anyone in a negative light, and often as not the scandal was simply nothing of any real consequence other than a way to ruin some people's lives and careers.
It turned then into "Gotcha Journalism" and most times patently unfair. And now we've come full circle where every story that is critical of the right wing is based on the liberal media out to get right wingers. For sometime now the networks treat the right wing with kid gloves because much of their advertisers are part of the right wing Republican donor class, so you never get any reporting that shows American corporations in a negative light and the networks want to make money out of their news divisions which in the old days when Cronkite and Rather and many others were at CBS, Huntley-Brinkley and Chancellor were at NBC, Howard K. Smith at ABC. They didn't expect to make money off their news divisions then because the reporting of news and the facts around them were in the public's interest and a sacrifice the networks made because accurate news was necessary to keep a democratic republic a viable possibility.
But some time in the late eighties or early nineties when they did away with the "Fairness Doctrine" and the accompanying rise of the cable industry and Hate Talk Radio you saw the networks transfer management of their news divisions to their Entertainment divisions which saw them become in many cases especially in their spin off cable divisions nothing but forums for editorializing and opinion and with the advent of Fox News in the US specifically right wing outrageousness. Conservative Australian PM Kevin Rudd has stated without equivocation that Rupert Murdoch is a cancer on democracy. Why we allow this foreigner who virtually destroyed democracy in the UK and his native Australia to come to the US and have his citizenship fast tracked by Ronald Reagan.
He's had to much power in determining the policies of our government far to long, he's owned a political party and made them virtually subservient to his agenda which is mostly about the accumulation of wealth for himself and those like him. And the fact he's been able to do this is beyond me. Woodward has done some great things in his career, but now I think his ambition is mostly interested in self promotion and making lots of money. He well knew Trump was lying about what he knew and understood about the Corona Virus and didn't have the common decency to reveal it and simply because I think to prevent it from trumping the release of his book which was bound to make him a fortune in sales and that was grotesquely selfish on his part and should outrage the American people. He could have saved many lives and chose not to.
They’ll be known as the Scoop & Poop Journalists !

As I sit here watching this I have tears running down my face, tears of gratitude for Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. Because of these two brilliant journalist we will now be able to reclaim our White House from Donald Trump the greatest threat to our nation America into the planet earth that we have ever known. These two guys are national treasures and heroes. Period.
Is that what you really think ? You’re Fucked in the Head For Sure ! DemoRats ! LOL !
Greta: YOU are Spot On RIGHT ! These incredible Brilliant, Patriotic MEN are National Treasures ! ! I Pray that GOD WILL Bless these MEN and ALL whom they LOVE !
I agree with you Greta 100%
Just read this. AGREE!! I was #9 for Watergate. This crap now. I am terrified!!!
The biggest threat is Putin and Trump, don't forget that!
Two American Heros!!
Bob Woodward has a beautiful voice ,it is a joy to listen to ,this is what truth sounds like.
Henny van Veldhuizen It has a Mr. Rogers quality doesn’t it.
Woodward is likely a CIA asset. Why didn’t he reveal Trump six months ago when lives could have been spared? It’s not journalism, it’s fostering a meme. A meme from “intelligence sources”.
Yeah like Nails on a Chalk board !
Doesn't he? He captivates my attention & lulls me to sleep at the same time.
@@teddmented YES! 100% AGREED!!
I love you guys! Love & respect from Canada!
proud Canadian! grateful Love Canada back!
Woodward & Bernstein are legends .
Only in your Mind !
@@stevesanzari7294 You most be to young to remember. Because that was the ending of a president and Nicson knew when too step down. " And with all the bad ST the stump has done he refuses to step down. Can't wait until they come out with the movie and the series let's just hope we're still around to see it "
Love these men they are true heroes to the American People. ❤️
National treasures that speak softly and carry a big stick.
Headline news in The Washington Post is not speaking softly and journalists should not be carrying a big stick. “The pen is mightier... “
Much like Biden.
The Guardians of American Democracy. These two men are true Heroes, and Patriots.
The Grand Old Men, of freedom.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I wouldn’t Trust these two old Fucks to Protect my Dog Shit ! Hero’s ? Don’t think So !
Yes and could you just imagine when they were to learn of Nicson rong doing.
And you know the movie.
( All the Presidents men )
Just wait until they come out with the
movie on the stump.
"I believe we are only scratching the surface"
I love Woodward and Bernstein! True gentlemen :)
Seen them two French kissing in the bathroom made me sick to my stomach
Christine Hathaway-Coley agree...
And this is the quality sadly absent from the presidency
Bernstein and woodward have destroyed their reputations in the twilight of their lives. Not to mention the damage they have done to journalism in general.
@V. V Nixon was a crook and his presidency was a criminal presidency. That's a fact! This is not an exaggeration. Nixon was not "tricked". Watergate was not normal. But Trump is FAR worse.
@@nautiquecowboynautiquecowb5317 you would make anyone sick to their stomach
Beautiful great Journalist. Period
This interviewer was very good, and asks great questions.
Very good conversation I only wish it was longer. Two of our greatest
Forget the Blue Wave. America needs a Blue Tsunami - Vote, encourage every adult you know to vote. If your state is attempting to make it inconvenient for you- insist your vote is counted. Do not take no for an answer. Vote!
It’s the Dems that are creating the voting difficulty these days. Why is that? Why not vote in person and be the person that inserts your ballot into the tabulator? Suddenly everyone wants to use the US Postal Service to handle their ballot. It sounds fishy to me.
Roky Erickson rocks There is a pandemic happening!
@@rokyericksonroks How is mail-in voting causing voting difficulty? It's been a thing for many years and is how the military stationed overseas participate in elections.
Explain how making it easier to vote and to have your vote counted and ensuring that foreign countries don't interfere in our elections is causing election difficulty.
Seriously. Explain how. Otherwise, trotter off to your fucking cave with the rest of the fucking village people you fucking *simpleton.*
It is a tsunami
And Vote Trump 2020 !
I love how they said they are still close friends and speak to each other a few times a week.
Yes, because that makes one a good journalist. smh
Yeah they’re Butthole Buddies !
In my view,you two are national heroes and patriots..You speak the truth.,Unlike the lies that came out of our former president..God bless you both
American Heroes. They should be at the Justice they really love the constitution.
Yeah they Love to tear itDOWN ! Like All DemoRats !
One of Bob Woodwards key-Element for interviewing people is that he shows empathy for them and makes them feel comfortable.
Of course People are openning when they are at their home, because they have nothing to fear.
And also Bob is the guy who has this cool Charisma, if he would not be a reporter I am pretty sure he would be a damn good detective or psychotherapist.
At least Nixon told the truth some of the time.
Wendy Schneider Trump is the most disgusting thing we’ve ever had in the White House.
Compared to the DemoRats and Fake News who tell the Truth NONE of the Time !
Nixon knew the difference between the truth and a lie... like they say::: Lincoln couldn’t tell a lie...Nixon couldn’t tell the truth...Trump can’t tell the difference....
Wow!!! Look how many people are watching this 2 years later and commenting.
The best of the 20thnCentury
ME!
June 24, 2022 oh how right they were even 3 years ago!
I admire Mr Bernstein & Mr Woodward , two true gentlemen, best journalist
Thank you both. You are documenting the decline of the US in the most poignant way.
No. Trump is not all Americans. Americans are strong and resilient peoplel They will survive the disaster of DT, as they have survived other disasters, God willing.
Susan Schafer
Susan, Donald Trump will be President for another 4 years. What will you do? How will you survive? You must find and befriend a Deplorable. They survived 8 yrs of Obama and can help you through the trauma of it all.
@@rokyericksonroks Rocks for brains ... Susan said she'll survive, with or without Deplorable friends. So will all or most us ... we just wouldn't enjoy it ... IF Cheeto McBonespurs (credit Michael Whitted) cheats to win.
Thanks to the DemoRats It what they do best ! Keep America Poor !
@@stevesanzari7294 Steve. If you do the research, you will agree with TRUMP who said, "The economy just seems to do better when the Democrats are in charge" of course, that was just before he switched parties. Plus, it's public & indisputable knowledge. I assume ur young, but Im old enough to remember him saying that AND it's on vid. Do you knows why he suddenly became a Republican? He said, "If I ever run for President, I'll run as a Republican. They're easier to manipulate". Im sure you think Im making it up or repeating "fake news", but I really hope you'll research this. Both are FACT!!!
Id love to be able to sit down with these men and just listen, for months I could listen to these wise men
Truly a sad time in American history.... DJT is a menace to the planet.
Yes. The ENTIRE PLANET. I cant imagine being hated by the majority of a neighborhood.
Wise men. They were their crowns of wisdom well. Their grey hairs.
Listen to wise people, for they have substance from which people can learn a lot.
two ancient NPC's
How time has passed. I remember them as handsome young men
@@maureensansburn6413 Me too!
Yeah Listen to wise people Not these 2 Has Beens !
Woodward and Bernstein know how to get to the truth and have some profound insights !! They are masters of their craft.
How nice!! What are beautiful friendship!
Two smart and experienced people of the press. I SALUTE THEM. I HOPE AMERICA LISTEN TO THEIR WISDOMS. HAVE A LONG LIFE TO WATCH AMERICA THROUGH TIMES..
Untruth is the basis of his pursuits. That pretty much sums up Trump
Bless these men of honour, and all honest and courageous reporters. My sense is that many Americans no longer receive their information from print, not from newspapers or Bob Woodwards books, if I may coin a phrase "print is falling on blind eyes." We need podcasts, videos, Instagram, RUclips, Tic-Toc (yes, Tic-Tok) video presentations of Bob Woodward's books. We need the "FEAR Show" and the "RAGE Show" where the books are ready in accessible chunks for the "too busy" or "too shallow" to absorb. Trump will win where rational discourse has been erased! WAKE UP AMERICA, TRUMP IS 1984!
John Dean served as White House counsel to Nixon from 1970 to 73, he was a key figure in the Watergate saga-participating in, and then helping to expose, the most iconic political scandal in modern U.S. history at the time. Today Dean believes Trump could be one of the most corrupt presidents ever-and get away with it.
“The American presidency has never been at the whims of an authoritarian personality like Donald Trump,” Dean stated. “He is going to test our democracy as it has never been tested."
Dean stated that he is not only convinced that Trump will be worse than Nixon in virtually every way-he thinks he’ll probably get away with it.
“I used to have one-on-one conversations with Nixon, where I’d see him checking his more authoritarian tendencies,” Dean recalled. “He’d say, ‘This is something I can’t say out loud...’ or, ‘That is something the president can’t do.’” To Dean, these moments suggested a functioning sense of shame in Nixon, something he was forced to wrestle with in his quest for power. Trump, by contrast, appears to Dean unmolested by any such struggle." Dean went even further in his assessment, stating: “I don’t think Richard Nixon even comes close to the level of corruption we already know about Trump.”
And a big difference between what happened then and now is that, in Watergate, you didn't have literally dozens of lawmakers from the President's party (then, as is the case now, the GOP) that were involved in the same mess that Nixon was involved with. There's a reason I consider this mess to be Watergate, Abscam (a forgotten political scandal around the time of the 1980 election in which a dozen or more Democratic lawmakers were tried and convicted), and Iran-Contra rolled into one and then pumped with steroids in the same manner that you would fuel your gas tank.
This scandal that is being investigated by Bob Mueller and other parts of the DOJ is so massive in scope that, not only do you have the President involved, but you also have members of his family, virtually his entire cabinet, his campaign team, and as of now, 43 GOP lawmakers, a number that includes the late John McCain ($200K from Vekselberg and Blavatnik) and five GOP governors (Abbott-TX, Bryant-MS, Kasich-OH, Scott-FL, and Walker-WI), all tied by various reporting to Russia and/or what Mueller and other parts of the DOJ are investigating. And there could be 20-30 more GOP lawmakers more who could find themselves tied to this mess (9 other GOP senators took from two entities heavily tied to Cambridge Analytica) or facing a mass obstruction probe down the line.
Dean must have been asleep when Holder was running guns, or when Obama was dropping 26,000 bombs in one year, or when Clinton was helping bomb Libya back into slavery. The argument is STUPID that Dean makes. Trump, for all the complaints of his authoritarianism has WAITED ON THE COURTS when things didn't go his way. Obama got a pass from the press so everyone can miss me with this nonsense. IRS targeted conservative groups and we don't hear a peep about that.
And when the history is written on Trump will you still be complaining about Obama and the Clintons?
kultan2000 Obama got a pass from the press? Really? Didn't his lie "if you like your plan you keep your plan" become politifacts lie of the year? Didn't Fox News constantly claim he wasn't a citizen? Didn't they suggest he was a Muslim? Didn't Trump suggest that Obama had bad grades at Harvard? Wasn't Clinton impeached? Who are you kidding?
Nice story maybe hollywood can turn that fairytale into a movie.
Make America great again Impeach Donald J Trump and Mike Pence

Is that what you want for Christmas that and a bag of coal
From a practical standpoint impeaching Trump is unlikely to result in him being convicted removed from office, because the (Republican-majority) Senate would be the judge/jury in those proceedings. The whole thing could back-fire on the Democrats in terms of how the voting base reacts to it.
And then, even if you suppose Trump would be impeached and removed from office, how do you extend that to Pence? If Mueller's investigation didn't indicate any wrong-doing on his part, then there's no basis for impeaching him, and he could pardon Trump. So in very real terms once you're president, criminal activity has very little power over you.
That said, personally I think if there is a real case against Trump, he should be impeached, because crime should have consequences (to the extent possible - as previously noted pardon power is kind of OP). If there really is a case against him it's right that it should be heard, even if the best we can hope for is a senate full of Republican partisan hacks rushing to downplay or dismiss the charges.
Amazing guys 👍🏻✌🏻
I read as much as I can those books that I think are worth reading about various political players. Bob Woodward's books are always worth reading, because he maintains the journalistic standards set with Carl on All the President's Men and The Final Days (the latter being essential for anyone who needs the pay-off).
Even glancing contact with the current president is enough for any rational person to have a solid grasp of the man's idiocy, greed, weak character, dishonesty and incompetence. He said something stupid yesterday, again today, and it's not unreasonable to think that he'll say and do stupid things tomorrow.
On that basis, it would have been fair to assume that there's nothing Woodward's book could tell you that you don't already broadly know. But Fear made me realize how fucking terrible Dumb Nixon is _even when_ he has smarter, more sober, cautionary people trying to explain things to him in crayon.
"Beware the demon Pomposity."

So well put!
And revere the angel of truth
Don't forget about Ben Bradlee. Some other editor would have told them dump their story, especially today.
Absolutely
I like the moment when Jamie Gangel asks, "who will be the new Woodward and Bernstein" for the Trump era, and it turns out to be--Woodward and Bernstein.
So true! We need to find some trainees for these guys....W.& B. must be exhausted after four years of this craziness....
It is sad too ...
The biggest issue is the culture. Trump just brings out the worst of American culture. Americans’ best qualities are positivity and diversity, but this administration leads people into opposite of what made the USA great.
Thank Goodness for these two American heroes as they continue to report on Trvmp's "War on Truth."
When Trump is impeached for all his misdeeds, Pence should be thrown out as well. The ticket conspired so both Trump and Pence are responsible for acting together.
He will be! The Constitution provides for nothing less than the end of the entire administration, upon conviction by the Senate, a clean sweep of ALL THE 'OFFICERS, ELECTED, OR APPOINTED! LEAD EVERYONE OUT IN ORANGE JUMPSUITS LABELED FBoP, I SAY!
Oh wow. I didn’t realise this was 2 years ago. I thought this was now, as in just before 2020 election
I actually did, too.
You two guy are so awesome could listen to you all day long and. I bought Woodwards book about trump on fear. Thank you for all your hard work guys.please keep bringing the truth to light because this man Trump needs to stay far away from our Whit House
Protagonists in bringing down the lying demon , Thanking Them in A Big Way , wishing them strength and resilience in their Endeavours.
Thank you for sharing the story of your dealings with the scoop of the Watergate and Nixon scandal!
Interesting to see this two years after the original airing. These guys are sharp, legendary... but in all of the justified Trump analysis, where is the acknowledgment that without the 40+% of the people to sponge it up, he wouldn't be anywhere?
Anyone that doesn't know who Woodward and Bernstein are. Check out the movie "All The Presidents Men". It will be entertaining at least, and also a history lesson on watergate and how the truth became known. Can't go wrong with actors like Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman. Two great actors of the time....
I would love some reporting on how other nations, ie. Spain, France, feel about what Trump knew about the virus. One might conclude that "playing it down" devastated them as well, in lives lost and economic destruction. Am I the only one wondering about this?
Ive read MANY MANY comments from ppl in other countries. Most recently from Canada, close to home. A mom from Canada & her friend used to pretty close & their daughters played together at the park. Her (former) friend is such a huge fan of Trump that she cannot tolerate anyone who doesn't think he's the bees knees. I had just been thinking of how I would never let this fool destroy my relationships, so I just about cried when I read her comment and realized that Trumpism is destroying relationships even in other countries. My thoughts almost immediately went to biblical scripture, as usual. The bible says that satan & his demons seek to divide, deceive & destroy and that in the end times there will be deceptions that we couldn't have even imagined but that seem SO VERY TRUE that even many Christians will fall prey to them. The bible has never steered me wrong.
"War on Truth"............that summarizes the uniqueness IN ITS generality --- AND CLEAR PATTERN of contemporary formal leadership, succinctly........
Amazing people
Bob is so good I can't believe Trump let you interview him again for a new book! Well done!
Trump thought he could get Woodward to write a grand book about him. He did not understand who Woodward really was. He is a really brain dead baby on American History. He did not even know what the Arizona Memorial was.
If you haven't seen the movie go and watch it. The nuts and bolts of the story is FABULOUS.
Bernstein is one of the few journalists who speaks plainly and without euphemisms about the monster who rules America.
Brilliant men!
Actually, I think that they both did answer her last question. They did so by qouting those who have worked closely with this president and have concluded that he is unfit for the job. The strength of their answer is in the authorities mentioned, and their number.
Sure would be interested in the story of whether any Congressmen honestly believe Trump is fit to be President. We don't need names, let them stay anonymous. Just do the story.
I'm watching this and I'm thinking this is current and then I realize when Woodward says all this stuff about turkey and Saudi Arabia and not being welcome back at the White House for a long long time this is a really old but still wonderful interview
Interesting to look at this 2018 interview through the post-coup Insurrection and Constitutional crisis commanded by the most venal politician that ever existed.
Boy this guy had made so much monies writing all these presidential books that it's a miracle that he can stay true and honest.. Obviously he not doing it just for a big paycheck. We certainly need more people like him in the news media.
I am still kinda puzzled why the Interview wasn't published earlier 🤔
Walking history duo🚀🚀
Woodward and Bernstein are national heroes. Who will stand up today to disclose the atrocities of the Trump administration? We need someone who will force Trump to do the honorable thing and resign.
Impeach Orange man!
Love Woodward 's insight into media taking trumps bait.
One big difference between Nixon and Chump: Nixon had about 100 more IQ points.
The first section of the kit has ideas for youth leaders on how to introduce gender issues into their youth programmes. The kit is then divided into three separate sections on gender,gender and relationships,gender and sexual and reproductive health.Each section includes background information includes facts, figures and quotes that you may want to use with young people who are working with ,for instance as a discussion starter. The fact sheets may be photocopied or shared with the group to support awareness raising and facilitate discussion . The fact sheets are also used in some of the activities .The activities are practical ideas for things youth leaders can do with young people to get them to think about gender and how it affects their behaviour,as well as role play and practising life skills .
Today Julian Assange is being persecuted, mercilessly for exposing the War Crimes of USA.
People wonder how Trump rallies get people to come. Have you ever seen the big time wrestling crowds? It’s a lot of those same people, but Trump isn’t as talented as a wrestler.
I've been to live WWF/WWE/WCW events. I don't know about the Cheetoe TRAITOR s rallies. But the live events I've gone to. The crowd and fans were NOT scripted or paid. THET I know of. WAY WAY back in the days of WWF/e they did hv paid people to root for certain 'good bad guys' like the rallies.
I guess for the same Hitler, Bin Laden, Seasar, Sadam Hassan and other dictators have been able to have so many followers. And what were there goals?
" Scary ha "
when considering "tRUMP's usa" of 'today' ,
these two very smart & also very funny "dinosaur-institutions"
as investigative journalists give hope to the whole world ... ;
including the usa themselves ... !!!
Why haven’t they investigated Obamagate With the Cunt Hillary’s Fake Dossier !
This is what's going to happen in the last days God going to give people over to believe in lies and deception
I wish they would put dates on these videos. When was this recorded and published?
Robert, since this is on the official CNN RUclips channel, then I assume it was recorded close to or on the 22nd of October, 2018 where it was published. Says under the title when it was published.
Excellent
Bernstein's words must be heeded. news reporting needs to be more than harping on "Trump just lied again!!"
they need to report beyond that. They need to mention it, and then earn their salaries and work hard to discover and report the underlying truths.
Well doneeeeeee
My friend, Juan Pierre Griffin, has an idea for Middle East peace. Why can't Jerusalem become an international holy city for all religions?
The hidden story behind Watergate involves the Pan American Sulphur Co(PASCO). On the PASCO board was Randolph Guthrie, a NY lawyer belonging to Mudge Rose Guthrie Nixon and Mitchell law firm. Guthrie's law partners were Richard Nixon and John Mitchell. The PASCO law firm was a Houston law firm, Fulbright Crooker and Jaworski. Leon Jaworski was the Watergate Special Prosecutor. So on PASCO you find two Watergate defendants and the Watergate prosecutor and 8 months after Nixon resigned, PASCO was bought by Standard Oil of Indiana which was owned by the family of the man who became vice-president, Nelson Rockefeller. PASCO stock went from $10 to $40/share.
Everyone tries to intelligently explain Trump’s behaviour. He is not worth it. He came to power as a result of a huge error. The American people do not deserve such a lowly man as their President.
Athena Ellis, Exactly. And the error was that Dems chose Hillary, with a little help from CNN.
cry moar hahaha
@@sorasky8 I have no idea what you are trying to say. Some grammar and more words might help.
America deserve a strong leader like Trump and not Trickish double agents like Obama and Clintons!!!
@@amzys.o6482 That's what you think and you are entitled to your views, but unfortunately you are misguided. History will tell in the end.
I'm enjoying this but somebody put Carl's microphone on wrong. Lot of static.
Presumably Trump didn't watch this before spilling his guts to Woodward in 2020. What a muppet!
In general, maybe:
The war on truth and facts is waged by people/politicians/whoever to overcome the general notions established throughout the 20th century of a liberal, free and democratic order. In democracy if the facts and solutions are clear to most people, factions that want the opposite, need to subvert those facts and truths to have a possibility to gain power and influence.
The US economy where rich people and businesses can buy viewpoints politicians promote and which politicians might be elected prevents a facts-based discussion in which way problems can be tackled. IN the past ideology was enough to prevent people from seeing the solution. Now lies are needed. Social media is great tool for that, because it requires a bubble which is separate to the reality.
Brexit might be an also a good example, where facts were wiped away with the accusation of scare mongering, and people were persuaded to vote to leave by lies that were impossible to hold up to.
Same maybe for Trump, where white people from the lower income class vote against their own interests for a privileged New Yorker businessman, who gets them by appealing to their fears of globalisation and migration. But he is not a champion of the poor but rather of the rich and the wall street.
In Europe in general you see neoliberals aligning with right wing agenda to tell people that the reason why their income is stagnant are foreigners. Actually, it was the inability of politicians to make sure that all people profit from GDP growth, especially since 2008 when rich people got increasingly richer and low incomes are stagnant or even decline compared to inflation.
Franz - you are quite correct re Brexit. It will be a disaster for the U.K. I am truly scared about the future. People believed the lies. They believed the fear mongering. Trump’s whole attitude is one of stirring up fear. Don’t fall for it.
Why can't you guys get together and form your own country where you can have taxes as high as you like, go to work to support the other half who doesn't work, let anyone in who wants to come, and have free health care, free college, free everything? It would be worth it, wouldn't it?
No one to oppose you.
No evil Capitalist, no greedy people, no haters, no religion except muslim or whatever immigrants bring with them, and just one big kumbaya moment after another. I say go for it. I can't wait to see it.
Oh...wait.. I know why. You need other people's money to do it. And half or less of you can't work hard enough to provide all the freebies, plus guaranteed income for everyone else. Dang. I really wish there was a way for you to have your tolerant loving utopia where all the people you bitterly hate so much are living in a different country..... without you.
He is one of the most controversial persons there is, so many labels that you can put on him and they fit him like a glove he is like a nightmare that we hope will soon go away and then once it's gone we forget about him .
Brilliant
Thanks CNN.☺
I AM THE TRUTH, Bob. All is well, all is planned.
Your reality will end 2027 and you both will probably live a very long life or be reborn again as an empath. You did your work well.

JO&π
Two who are the very best
What they said at the end is that, as reporters, it's not their job to say whether or not Trump is fit to be President. Instead, as reporters, they can present what other people say about that fitness, including people who are close to, or who actually work for, Trump, and then let US draw our own conclusions.
I feel like I need a bath after watching this to all the long-haired bungholes bungholes
The press has been less rigorous of late and has paved the way for being an easy target for Trump’s criticism.
Nucular is just not the right pronunciation of nuclear
Loved this interview
28:48 thought that was an easy no after everything..
the truth always paradox...but not every paradox is truth...!
its called smoke and mirrors
Members of Congress is FIT to judge if the president is Fit to be president? Some of the members of Congress aren't fit to be congressman, some should be behind bars.
If you intend on doing that then I have to say you should then ask each member of Congress who they think is fit or unfit in congress.
Reporting in a way based to the resources of the stories or happening .
Remember God says he going to give people over to delusion men and believe in lies
First we vote! Then we remember William Wallace!
"The only file he ever lost". The wheels just keep on spinning.
Woodward was Naval Intelligence
But people for the most part are being moved by their emotions. People should remember this as they listen to MSM or anybody for that matter.
Whoever did the sound on this should be struck off.
.........‘how’s the baby?’
All The President’s Men 😊
