I'm grateful to these two men who care enough about our country to bring this information to us all.
Yes because we were in such danger that he saved this to promote his book, that's how you know we were on the brink if collapse.
👩💻When 45 lost the election, considering what the country had already experienced under his corrupt leadership, I thought, "My God, what is this man thinking and what will he do until he is gone on January 20th." I was praying, begging, beseeching, and imploring everyday for protection from this megalomaniac. I am grateful that Providence sent the people that stood up and protected our country and most importantly others in the world. "Cometh the hour, cometh the man." Much love and peace. 🙋♀️
We did not have a peaceful transfer of power for the first time in the history of the USA. And think how close things might have spun out of control on January 6. Trump had told Chris Miller, the acting Secretary of Defense, not to send in the National Guard until Keven McCarthy and other Rethuglicon Congressmen were able to tell Trump they were in danger, and that was two to three hours into the Insurrection of January 6, 2021.
I was a nervous wreck.
@Doc Holiday No, it was the armed militias throughout the country and the sympathetic politicians who stood by for four years that made this act of domestic terrorism a threat.
Yes, much love and peace - to the taliban? Or to the Americans still stranded and abandoned there by this "savior"? Lets see, he withdraws troops before civilians, releases one of the 2 founders of the taliban with a plane load of cash and flies it and him to kabul for the taliban. "Isis-k" strikes as it infiltrates through the ranks of the taliban, killing 13 of our soldiers. biden retaliates by drone strike murdering 3 of our afghan allies and 7 children, the youngest one 4 years old, as they try to load up their car with water to try and escape the taliban. Then milley is caught first having committed treason undermining Pres. Trump and now doing the same to biden, but milley is touted by the left as a hero. Then, we have an open border - it is Not closed - look at the images on the news - 10k haitians, 2k afghanis including a few known terrorists on our lists (who knows how many made it through), and untold numbers of hispanics, and who knows who else, along with 150 illegals released into the US WITH COVID, at our border, bodies being found one a mother died from dehydration but the child was found, bracelets from illegals being brought here by the cartels, those slave bracelets indicating cartels involvement, as well as drugs being transported into our country, biden spends the weekend on vaca, kamala is nowhere to be seen. biden, well rested from his vaca promptly falls asleep during a visit and interview with ambassador, as press are frantically hustled out of the interview so none of their questions off script can be answered by china joe. Then, there's the emails found on pedophile bidens pedo druggy son hunter, colluding with china and big bucks going into his and daddy bidens pockets. Now biden is pushing a vaxx mandate that, everywhere, including other countries, is being hugely protested against, why, because it is an ILLEGALl mandate, as well as UNCONSTITUTIONAL. I cannot wait for all the ballot recounts that are being done in several states, including Maricopa Co, AZ to be finished. Governors are scrambling to think of anything they can do to get this disaster of a criminally negligent and treasonous illegally placed so called president (ha), out of the WH, along with his socialist commie admin. So, when they leave, please, go with them. I hear joe has a nice nursing facility waiting for him in kabul - he will sip tea all day long with his taliban best buds, and during all this - all our allied countries are ready to jump ship, and our enemies are laughing at us all. So yes, you go ahead and be grateful for pedo joe and his gang of thugs. You are probably one of them. Our soldiers died in Afghanistan. biden spit on their sacrifices, and their families sacrifices. Those 13 soldiers died needlessly. Their blood is on bidens, his admins, and the hands of every single person that voted for him or helped rig the election with illegal, stolen, ballots, and cover ups. Sleep well at night? I don't see how you can.
What makes me sad is all the GOP knew about that crisis and they did nothing. They could save our country but all chose their political careers over the safety of our country and its people. 😔
It seems some are still stuck in the hope the DJT would be a new Teddy Roosevelt, coming in from New York as a masculine dark horse tearing down the ingrained corruption from the top.
If you are not familiar go look up the history of hitler's rise to power. I'm not comparing Trump to Hitler. Hitler is hitler. Trump is trump. But read about his rise to power and how the party he took over changed. How he failed and then prevailed. Fascists don't make it to power without a significant portion of hte political establishment propping them up. And once they get the power they want... anyone who would question it is done away with. What I'm saying is the Republican party are simply useful idiots and if that fucking son of a bitch ever got real power, a lot of republicans would be disappeared just like most democrats. Who would do the disappearing? The paramilitary wing of the fascist movement. Proud Boys.. etc.
They were terrified of trump and the Russians. Russia poisons people.
What makes me sad is this is continuing with the attack on Roe v Wade.
@@mikegamerguy4776 Yeah, people want to please the tyrant, and keep their jobs (or their lives) so they look the other way, and he continues his rise to power. Yours is a legitimate comparison of Trump to Hitler. The tyrant needs his toadies to look the other way, and they do.
I may not have known specifics about our national security crisis but I felt ongoing fear and dread of whatever Trump seemed to be capable of. Thank God Miley and the generals were staying ahead of things.
Treason
Thank God for journalists and comedians. Essential for democracy. Special mention for General Milley.
Yes, Thank God & General Milley.
He should of spoken out sooner.
@@pelicannurse7397 Yes, he should have. In a sense he did, though, after June 1, 2020, and the phony bible photo shoot.
@@arliewilliams6596 forget "god" and direct your thanks to Milley.
@@deevnn How about forget you.
Scary. We all knew stuff was happening and hoped there were adults in the room for those 4 years. There is a lesson to be learned here.
And that lesson is to note take it for granted that other people will vote responsibility. We need to vote these Republicans out of office.
@@freda2758 Unfortunately, there are too many right wing Catholics and other so-called Christians who love the fetus but hate the child, and love tax cuts for the wealthy, because, you know, they might get that rich some day.
Yes it was so dangerous and threatening to our country that he waited to tell the story when he had a book out 10 months later
@@ldfreitas9437 I take it you want to tax the “ rich”… it sounds all fair… righteous even… but then you have to think… and then what happens? That’s what thoughtful common sense people do. For instance… if you raise taxes on corporations… do the corporations lose?… no… they just figure out how much extra taxes they have to spend… and raise prices to cover their costs… so they don’t lose a dime… the taxes get paid by the consumer in higher prices. Then if the taxes become too high to raise prices realistically… then they outsource their products else where…. Meaning the jobs leave the country…. But the products are still cheap. Lower corporate taxes helps keep all the money in the country. But it sounds righteous to get the baddies…. Are they stealing from you? No… they provide a service that you enjoy and make your life better. So punish them?
The amount of tax money that the super rich keep due to off-shore shell companies and tax havens is in the trillions. The rest of us pay taxes, but not them. It’s not about punishing them in my opinion, its these tax avoidance schemes that should some how be looked into. Thanks to the Panama papers we understand the intricacies of this shadowy game, however I do sincerely believe it’s the lobbyists that work for the super rich that have the power in deciding the laws that are meant to regulate the system itself. I could be wrong, just the way I see things.
Quiet weeping is a step up from screaming into a pillow, I guess.
Well done, you've discovered what was their goal all along. This was all a ploy to increase the sales of MyPillow.
@@desmond-hawkins 😂 😂 😂
I’m thinking the reverse.
Those book titles, Fear, Rage & Peril sum up the Trump years nicely.
I hope you flip thru the new Biden book… or the Biden laptop book out next month. Probably won’t… probably call it Russian disinformation…..

How many books by Bob Woodward is it going to take for America as a whole to hold our former president accountable for his actions? I commend Woodward and Costa for their reporting, but it's so frustrating that nothing is being done about it.
💯%
Racism and ignorance outweighs logic when dealing with the uninformed
I'm surprised we left it in this present in the first place, I'm surprised that everyone was saying let's give him a chance. What the hell is everyone thinking? In reality Donald Trump was not hiding everything he was revealing who he was from the very beginning, no one should be shocked about this at all.
Imagine that--our "president" is the biggest threat to our country.
Yes, I was constantly terrified in those 4 yrs. 😳
AS is/was any rational person!
The Mango Mussolini was committing high tre45on every day in those 4 years.
@@DaveGIS123 any examples? Treason? Really? Like the Russian collusion hoax? You still believe that one? Did you know that Hillary pair a company called fusion gps to make a fake dossier called the steele dossier and took it to the fisa court… knowing it was fake… so that they could invoke the patriot act and spy on trump before and during his presidency? That’s 5 years? Any results? Muller report…. Goose egg. So they impeach him over a phone call… he released the transcript of the phone call… impeached him anyway. Why don’t they release the transcript of milley? Or of Biden talking to the Afghan president in the months before the withdrawal?
Listening to this knowing nothing is going to be done to change the electoral college, or clean up our system is depressing.
The economic impact of the midterm voters going “meh” and /not/ voting is going to be … dramatic. And brutal.
@@jonathanmatthews8928
Our only weapon is voting
The Electoral College:
Why in the Hell don’t more people know about this?
No More Occupants of the White House without the Majority of the People's votes!
The antiquated and Heavily REPUBLICAN GERRYMANDERED ELECTORAL COLLEGE - How America is working on FIXING it.
It would take a Constitutional Amendment to abolish the Electoral College: The methods used to Amend the Constitution requires either-
1st method: A Constitutional Convention, or the
2nd method: 2/3rds of both Houses must agree on the Change/Amendment:
In either case it would be necessary to Draw up an Amendment to eliminate the Electoral College; at this time, With Trump's influence and the proven Corrupt Republicans in the Senate; it would not be a good idea to do that, it would leave the Constitution open to any changes that the Republicans want to make. Thus, further undermining the Constitution and the Laws of the Country.
There is an easier way to ensure that the winner of the popular vote gets the Electoral College vote:
The Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote/THE NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE INTERSTATE COMPACT
is bringing electoral reformers closer to their goal of sidestepping the Electoral College to elect presidents by a nationwide popular vote.
Under the compact, states pledge to allocate all their electoral votes to the winner of the nationwide popular vote in presidential elections.
Check it out here:
www.nationalpopularvote.com/
If your state is not listed on the site as having joined the Compact and you think this is a good idea, AND YOU WANT YOUR VOTE to actually count NOW IS THE TIME to start calling your State Reps and ASKING/DEMANDING that your state joins the compact NOW.
The Democrats are attempting to do just that with the Protecting Our Democracy Act. In short it cuts off a Trump-like personality off from ever holding the office of POTUS. They pass this act then Trump can't run unless he submits ten years of his taxes. Secondly, he can't use the office to enrich himself. Can you imagine a guy like Trump not being able to openly run government business through his holdings?
Yeah, never again.

I can’t believe they let Bob in the WH after the 1st book.
That is because Trump can't read.
Just shows you how narcissistic Trump is. He's got no shame and he loves attention and rewriting history.
@@elainejohnson6955 Trump couldn't understand the Constitution when someone read it to him
Beware of the next smarter creep.. after Biden.
This is just a rehearsel..
Bring on the hurse. Death is freedomb.
That is becose strumpf is a user.. high on sudavet and cocain. He realy thouht he was very strongly and masculin.
And Bob thought Nixon was the lowest the presidency could sink...
Remember, 46.9% of Americans doesn't mind it goes even lower...
Also Bush 43 was bad as well as Trump and Nixon.
But then there was a tRumpf..
Remember Nixon refused to challenge 1960 election because he knew a challenge would undermine democracy.
Good thing we never had a president after Trump.
I can’t believe I live in a world where I have to be grateful for the existence of Dan Quayle 🤦♂️
I forgot he was still around...who woulda thought?
His approval ratings are higher than Harris's. SUCK IT!!
you are dead, obviously...
Yes, you cannot make this stuff up!
Amen. And he has the nerve to run for a president ! Never ! He is a demented as Dump
Dan Quayle. He may spell democracy with an E at the end for all I care, but he's the effing man for saving it!
Well said
The guy who said _"What a waste it is to lose one's mind"_ saved American democracy.
@Doc Holiday No no, Trump left. Weren't you paying attention?
@Doc Holiday It's genuinely funny that you think that's a response.
As someone who puts related interview videos in a queue - I wish there were numbers in the title, I've accidentally just watched the 2 later videos first
Lol I watched them out of order again too
I have the same problem. YT will send the notification foe the second vid in a series so I always then have to go look for when Stephen introduces the guest. All this tech but can't get videos in order... Lmao!!
they bear repeating.
I had to click on all three to watch this one first. Sometimes the listing order on the channel helps
I believe it's intentional so that we are forced to watch the ads.
I had to have a shot of tequila in one hand and a joint in the other to watch this. Seriously.
oh! we could have all come over!
I’ll pass the tequila, lol ✌️
🎵 Oooooh weed weaver, I believe you get me through the night 🎵
bong and a bourbon for me, but right there with you, friend. and it's 10:30AM.
1:13 what you mean is that it is true of every book that woodward has ever written, you aren't likely to like the protagonist, and in some circumstances you are literally the antagonist too. he does some really good deep in their head historic reporting.
Here's a sentence I never thought I'd write:. Thank God for Dan Quayle.
Rod Serling himself could not have come up with a more surreal and unbelievable statement than "Submitted for your approval: Dan Quayle, a man lost in the twilight zone of obscurity after misspelling the name of a vegetable; has become..... the saviour of Democracy. Your last stop; the Trump Zone".
Cue eerie music.
If only America had a strong system of checks and balances, you wouldn't have to rely on the guy that said _"What a waste it is to lose one's mind"_
As far as I'm concerned, Dan Quayle can spell potato any way the hell he wants.
@John Bradey You'd think Woodward would know how to say. New Klee Air

Woodward seems to have learned that word from W.
Hooray for Stephen, working the Eastman Memo into the monologue. That's one thing that makes this show great.

We have always said that Adolf Hitler was a madman and history will show that Trump is on the said level.
@@colinjosling2108 that comparison is insane… and very disrespectful to Holocaust survivors. Your bitterness and hatred and using their tragedy. You should be ashamed.
The book is such a stressful and addicting read about a crazy moment in US History, that it should made into a movie or limited series. Holy crap it is crazy.
Careful, that may still happen. A movie either theatrical or streaming movie.
I had a bad feeling and people just brushed me off. Good to know that my anxiety wasn't "imagined."
The 2 Roberts are soooooo good together. I'm so glad they wrote this book.
Their book "Peril" should be made as a movie before 2024 to let the people realize how effing cynical the ex pres orange man is, that his plan almost happened and hopefully he'll not be nominated again.
Actually he should be arrested already.
I’m sure it will be, perhaps not before 2024 tho
I hope not since his cult will just scream louder that this is "EvIdEnCe" that the "hollywood elite" are "covering their tracks"
We didn't know, but plenty of us guessed what Trump might do given the chance. Why were the people closest to the seat of power so surprised by all this?
Nobody was really surprised
I knew he would not leave quietly and that there would be no peaceful transfer of power. He should have been indicted and already charged with sedition and insurrection for January 6. Merrick Garland is letting the nation down.
oh god this is scary and also lovely too see a light being shined on the idiosyncrasies of the final days of the trump administration
Light shines on the laws broken in treasonous manner and then no consequences happen. Then it is just a dim, one second light.
There should be a serious consequence of the full of the law to Eastman, Dotard and co. Why even have treasonous laws if something like this can be brushed off. The next one saga will not be led by idiots like Dotard, but seruous fascist smart people. The Justice Department should really start prosecuting to the fullest to these people, to put fear into future wannabe fascist ones.
ruclips.net/video/yQBnPT2rX2g/видео.html
“Idiosyncrasies”? I think malfeasance is a more appropriate word.
@@aboy6236 you sir have hit the nail on the head unlike the previous adminstration who hit the nail with their own head like imbeciles
As political commentator and former Republican presidential advisor Mark McKinnon so aptly put it recently, "The Republican party is at dysfunction junction." May disagree with conservative ideology and with their stances on many issues, but do value and respect LOYAL opposition--a duty that the GOP has for too long forgotten and abdicated, putting personal and party interests before country. That is not only harmful to their party, it is harmful to our democracy and institutions. And it has come to represent a clear a present danger to our nation, a serious threat to our very security.
All of this is mentioned because it is firmly believed that this is not a time for diplomatic, soft-spoken words. This is not a time to be timid or Pollyannaish about our current political landscape, but a time for frankness, a time for acknowledgment of defects, a time for courageously confronting stark unpleasant realities. Our democracy is a fragile construct, only as sturdy, vibrant, and enduring as we maintain it, requiring constant vigilance and due diligence. Just as we don't forget Pearl Harbor, or 9/11, even more so the attack against our nation's Capitol on January 6, 2021 by fascist Reich-wing domestic terrorists incited to insurrection by a deranged President against his own government must never be forgotten or forgiven.
Thus, we MUST condemn both cowardly, corrupt Republican so-called "leaders" defying truth, justice, duty, democracy, and Constitution--and their dysfunctional political party that behaves as a cult--in the strongest possible terms, using the most muscular language that can be mustered. For it is necessary; the very fate of our nation depends upon it. Disaster was narrowly averted with the defeat of Trump, with Democratic control of the House and Senate, but the battle for the soul of this nation is far from over, and we must never again allow ourselves to become complacent. And so it is vitally imperative that we remind each other of this, that we impress these things upon our children and fellow citizens of this nation.
"Call this civic barbarism. Instead of promoting the values of responsible citizenship, Trump, Republican leadership, and their media enablers have elevated and blessed the very worst among us. They are making many Americans less suited for self-government and more dangerous to their neighbors. And they are doing so for the reason some of the Founders most feared: To lead the mob against true democracy."
~ Michael Gerson, from _'Trumpism is American Fascism'_
(NOTE: Gerson is a staunch life-long conservative, who served as former President George W. Bush's chief speech writer.)

Hitler went to "scorched earth" in the final months of WW2, as a reminder. He blamed the Germans for losing WW2, not himself.
.....what we wouldn't give for a good old fashioned sistr fuckr right about now..
Sitting in Scandinavia, I found all of the former guy's weird behaviour and his weird speeches bone chilling. And I watch his January 6 speech thinking the crowd will go to war for him now.
And after the election - and I was sooo happy to see that there were some 80 mill. sane Americans - there was the most soul soothing silence. When he was kicked off Twitter and FB ..... what a wonderful silence. At least for a while.
There was it was called "voting"
America was saved from Trump by just a few people doing right, from one VP advising another, to a couple Secretaries of States not bending to incredible & illegal pressure, to a general standing in the way of nuclear Armageddon.

@@DgurlSunshine What treason? If you mean Milley... Telling a foreign power that we weren't going to attack them? You think that's treason? It's not. He didn't divulge classified info. He's allowed to talk to foreign governments. That's literally part of his job. We let China and Russia and other countries know when we are executing manuvers or launching missiles. Anything that could be misconstrued as an attack, we let them know. And... even if we were going to attack China and he lied to China... that's still not treason. Beyond that everything Milley told those under his command was literally protocol. He simply told people to follow fucking protocol and keep true to their oath to defend the constitution. That's not treason. Anyone who thinks it is, is a fucking fascist. So if none of that is what you meant, then this is for all the others out there who will read it. Anyone who thinks that a general should not work within the law and within the considerable power the head of the joint chiefs has to safeguard the country from a man who was literally telling the Vice president to assist him in a coup is a fucking fascist.

Never leave us, Bob. We need you. Glad you’re clearly grooming Costa to be your ‘heir’ though. I can tell he’s going to do a great job.
With Woodward's new book you can take everything you thought you knew about the prior president and keep on thinking it.
my question for woodward if i were ever given one, "would you ever destroy your own story if the person you are building the story on presents something that could be excessively dangerous to the world at large, would you interrupt the writing of a book and potentially end the possibility to stop someone from doing something absolutely insane?"
I think you're implying that Bob should have screamed bloody murder over what he was discovering instead of writing a book? Not to be cynical, but that had been done several times prior: career professionals on "both sides" said Trump was patently unfit for office, the Mueller report, two impeachments, etc. etc. Nothing could touch him. Bob would have been labeled as "fake news."
@@michaelmiehl3630 Absolutely agree.
Kght222 - No, he wouldn't. He answered this question in a previous interview (for the previous book) basically he said that isn't my job.
@@theabristlebroom4378 thanks for a reasonable response. i'm not trying to be mean and woodward writes excellent books, i have read a few. just an honest question about whether or not he would intervene if he ran into information that needed immediate action. it might disrupt his book or even completely change it (i don't actually think it would stop him from writing a book, i don't think you could stop him from writing a book even if you cut his arms off) but i wonder how he would respond to learning something that clearly needs immediate action.
stephen is right in saying that trump’s past makes a strong verasimilitude for the events that transpired
What is the best definition of verisimilitude?
From its roots, verisimilitude means basically "similarity to the truth". Most fiction writers and filmmakers aim at some kind of verisimilitude to give their stories an air of reality. They need not show something actually true, or even very common, but simply something believable.

It tells us that our Constitution, much like our infrastructure, is overdue for a facelift.
Or it shows us that however good the Constitution is it still requires human actors who have at least a modicum of human decency and respect for law.
@@sfdint completely agree, and the British have an unwritten constitution that very much relies on that concept. However, the Republican Party since 1928 has shown us that if you don’t explicitly put things in writing they will run roughshod over you (hell even when in writing they still do)…
Those of us that looked into Trump and educated ourselves as to his history in 2014 saw this coming a mile away. For me, this is the most frustrating part. All my fellow Americans needed to do was look into him and they were too lazy to do so. I really think a massive world war with millions lost would be the only way Americans would start to give a damn about facts. Oh, wait we are in a world war with Covid19 so never mind. Future so bright I gotta wear shades...
...😎
And losing that war. Really?
In any civilized society, Don the Con would be in prison. So, the fact such person is still walking around speaks volumes about America's legal system, about America's moral and ethical standards.
I totally agree with you. DOJ does not have any plans to indict trump.
Two great, respected humans.
I like to think of Costa as as good a fit for Woodward as Carl Bernstein was. I hope Woodward stays with us long enough for Costa to *become* the next Carl Bernstein.
Colbert is simply brilliant. The level of intelligence he possesses to converse with intellectuals of every stripe is exquisite.
And using humor to warp reality is a true art form. Also as a writer for the CBS show, Stephen you owe me $10 for making me post this.
Bob had to live through 2 attempts on the presidency to hold power. What a life.
Not just live through it. He investigated, analyzed, wrote, & presented it for public consumption & the historical record. What a job, what a man!
So did we.
The difference being Nixon just worked on getting re-elected. The Orange Menace wouldn't take the loss...😡🖖
Mr. "Potatoe" head Quayle saved the day...I never thought I'd say.
Blah, blah, blah, why ain't the orange fueher in a orange jumpsuit? Seriously someone want to explain why?
Anyone? The world's listening and more than that they're watching.
Nixon was like the juvenile delinquent that threw a rock through the neighbours window when there was nobody at home. Trump is like the juvenile delinquent that set fire to the neighbours house when the whole family was sleeping and they all perished in the fire. Lets not compare the two.
well said!
We need to compare the 2 because it shows the delinquents that are chosen to steal elections each and every time from Democrats. They do an absolute horrible job of governing because their Sociopaths kneeling at the feet of the Country's owners giving them what they want; massive tax breaks including the shambles of their Party who are all in the game too, how can you trust anyone to govern whose already corrupt to the nines, Trump took it to an all time low and disgraced everything he touched!!
Thank you for your shows on important topics and your intelligent questions.
"The problem of Trump, extended globally"
It's true. We have them here in Canada. It didn't take long. Luckily, our federal election was a few days ago, and while I'm no fan of Trudeau, they aren't in office.
The silence in that audience speaks volumes. Just terrifying.
Due to the pandemic, lack of resources and crises in some parts of the world has made lots of people jobless and the financial status of some families aren't okay & this leading to increase in crime rate in our society.
That's right but here in china things aren't so, due to good leadership. Perhaps;many are in search of a good and reliable source of income.
@Black Davies You're absolutely right,but many out there are confused about what part of stock should they invest into..for me! I invested into Bitcoin and it has been a success for about six months now.
Do you guys still think 🤔 crypto is the future?!! With the recent fall of BTC.
@@peneloperiley6357 This fall of crypto is for a greater rising. Do you remember when 1bitcion worth 1cent?. Then it rose up to 60k dollars. If you could get my point i think now is another great opportunity to buy and invest.
I'm an educated lady, but still don't know how to go about crypto trading. Do i need a special class to learn how to trade?.
The music your band played when Woodward and Costas came out tonight! OMG
Clarifies why Pence said ‘You don’t know the position I’m in’ to Quayle
he was in the position of not having any character or backbone
Hahaha "Thank God for Dan Quayle." lol That IS something nobody EVER imagined anybody saying. 🤣
I can't believe Bob Woodward says "nucular."
So I'm not the only one that caught that.
Congratulations Mr Colbert on your award
Pence knew he'd outrage his boss for refusing.
That was the _last_ thing he wanted to do.
Let's all applaud him for finally choosing
not to precipitate Civil War II.
He is a swamp monster…. Always was
I'll take people like these people as guests over virtually any celebrity any time
Been waiting for this.
😹 It makes me lol every time someone in the information trade says they didn’t know Mr. T was a National Security Threat; one of my most enduring nicknames for 45 is Agent Orange. He was a NST the second he anounced his candidacy. lmbao
And yet Pence is still shaking in his boots, unwilling to tell it like it was.
Costa got permanent newscaster voice lol.
Varys smiled. “Here, then. Power resides where men believe it resides. No more and no less.”
*Game of Thrones*
I read "Zero Fail" the same way...I had to close it every so often because it was so disturbing. Still, it was important to read and I believe "Peril" will be the same. Just trying to get the courage up to start it.
Yes, the FOUR YEAR DREAD will forever be burned in my being like the cancer it was and is.....
I need to get that Book. Bravo on solid Reportering. Our Democratic Pocess is Important!🇺🇲
American Marxism is a superior book. No hearsay…. Do yourself a favour. Open your mind and read it.
We’ve got two Bobs in the room!
I'm sure there's a lot more than 2 in the room. Not sure why that should matter?
@@steppenwolf3252 …because it’s funny. Two Bobs wrote a very serious book together, are on a comedy show, and nobody is even mentioning it lmao
@@steppenwolf3252 also I’m not sure what the percentage of bobs per million is but I highly doubt there are a LOT more than two in a mid-sized theatre
Didn’t realize it Costa the host of Washington week was such an extremely distinguished journalist.
no one seems to know what the nation is or how it got that way, or possibly skip lightly over the reality because it wouldn't sell. because there would be no hope in it.
the facts are present in history, but that history is not taught. the reality is visible, but no one names it.
the worst single word in the 'american' language is democracy, because in that language the rule of a few hundred politicians on behalf of a few thousand plutocrats, is democracy, and having polluted that word beyond any use makes discussion useless.
every time someone says 'we might be losing our democracy,' you are being lied to, for you never had it.
Honestly the most harrowing part is how often these people withhold the danger we were in until AFTER the fact, and then make money from the revelations. How about doing the right thing at the right time!
...it's kinda wierd to see people sitting that close to each other during an interview.

I'm sure there will be another Lockdown this fall. What Wave are we in now? Number 4?
"Accountability"?? What "Accountability"?? Now folks, here's a non cliffhanger, if you ever wanted to see one...
Isn't Bob the short form/nickname of Robert? So, this book about Don was written by not one, but two Bobs?!
Side note: that intro music starting at 0:21 was gorgeous!! MORE, Jon Batiste and Stay Human, please!!
I remember Trump alluding to making war w Iran during his lame duck time.

Just ordered this book. Cannot wait to read it. Nothing I have heard that is in this book should surprise us about Trump. I predict he’ll be in jail in three years or less.
In Sid Meier’s ‘Civilization,’ your performance is scored based on real historical leaders. Lincoln and Augustus Caesar on top, Nero and Dan Quayle on the bottom. I’m sure in the next game, they’ll revise which leader is at the bottom of the barrel
Oh they must. I agree.
I would kill for these to be released in order so I don't have to hop all over youtube to find the beginning of an interview.
No wonder America is so paranoid when people go on TV and say "There might be a new Pearl Harbor lolol LETS ATTACK!"
Best Late Night Band by far imho.. even the guest intro music is captivating
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
Cry`pto is the new gold
I wanted to trade crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
It won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Richard p. Baddeley
@@josemigliani5396 Yeah sure,I heard Alot about investments with Mr Richard P. Baddeley and how good he is, please how safe are the profits
I have also been trading with him, profits are secured and over a 100 percent return on investment
Just an idea LS, maybe label the clips "Pt1, Pt2, etc, etc... so I don't have to play 3 card Monti figuring out the interview order, thaaaanks
Si ves la lista de reproducción, ahí están todos los videos ordenados por día.
Again I'll ask, if all these people publishing books knew this was happening, why did it get so far without a warning bell or news appearance outting the plan??
I've been pondering this question and not cynically either. Nonetheless, I think the reason the democrats can't hold Republicans accountable, (and they should be on the ropes for continuing to support Trump when he is so corrupt) is that the dems own corruption, while not as deep or totally complete, their corruption weakens them. Ditto the racism. And the sexism.
What is the nature of the corruption? It's the money in the election process. Katy porter will tell you, it needs to go.
What stops that? The bazillion dollar media economy from all those ads.
We can be cynical but its cold comfort. it's going to cost us our lives with this climate crap, which Biden barely dealt with at the un assembly today. it seemed as an aside between lies about how we are coping with foreign policy. He wants to lean into foreign policy, that's his passion, and so these are his desired actions, not just what's happening while he's busy.
He's as white as he is old.
Which reminds me...another thing I'm pondering: As black and Latinos enter the democracy at last and are doing a good job as well, are whites fleeing democracy and moving into fascism?
@@hereholdthiswillya Your absolutely right about getting the dark money out. There needs to be 10 more Katie's, she's honest and understands where most Americans are in their lives trying to make enough to just enjoy life, and get by. As far as fascism I mean to this point I can't rule out anything. This country is a stream pot ready to reach its limit, hope something can pull the country back from complete brink.
Because Watergate did not sell enough books?
Everyone in Trump's admin. knew it was happening. In fact, we know now the big lie is still being spread today but no one is doing anything to stop it,, are they? Why not?
@@TheIncredibleShrimpolino Bless your heart🙄❗
Please put “part 1”, “part 2, and “ part 3” in your RUclips. It’s hard to find where to start without clicking on each segment
I've read Fear and Rage. Bob Woodward writes exceptionally well and it is an easy read. I found, particularly in Rage, was not so much about Trump, which we all had a good idea what he was like, but the stress and anxiety of the people who worked closely with him and the effect it had on their lives. To work for Trump in any capacity is a highway to hell , quite literally!
Garbage comment… he’s not a politician… he demands results… yuck…. Hard to work for? Would you rather he was easy to work for and everyone takes advantage like always? Let’s put this to an example…. Government supplied road maintenance crew… they don’t care how long it takes… how many people on the crew… if the project get completed on budget…. Typical government overruns…. One guy in the hole digging and four guys watching… shovel benders…. The whole government is run like that spending your tax dollars. Trump demanded hard work and efficiency…. Politicians don’t like that… so they leak things to the press and say that it’s chaotic…. Good… it’s about time someone put their feet to the fire.
@@gutspipola8886 It is quite clear from your remarks you have not read Woodward's books.
@@generalpublic3744 nope. Guilty.
@@generalpublic3744 nope… just judging the timing. The world is in danger… but this is gonna be a great book…. In about 9 months…. Maybe the world wasn’t in danger? Or Woodward is a profiteer… which one?
With # 45 Acting As Delusional As # 37
That Was A Damn Good Call Milley Made
I am waiting for the new Bob Costa diet book. Should be a #1 bestseller !
Ex-military people get extreme anxiety from these possible scenarios. A level of anxiety that regular civilians - including bosses - don't understand.
can you please number these multi-part interview videos so we can know what order to watch them in?
And this is why my gut was on fire and I lost sleep for four years there....scary stuff!
I knew this interview was going to be gloom and doomy so I wasn't going to watch, but then I felt Stephen would be proud that I stuck through the shows entire content.
_Bob and Bobby._
*BILLIONAIRES FEAR that once you CONVICT a BILLIONAIRE* _then the Arrest, Trial, and Convictions won't stop!_
EQUAL UNDER THE EYES OF THE LAW, no matter your title, race, religion, or wealth.
Are you kidding? The world didn't know? I'm from Europe and when Trump became president, I had conversations about how every nation must be on alert on a daily basis. People were going through possible war scenarios all the time. If you didn't realize that, America needs a major reality check.
Hear, hear !!!
What is sad is that the people here and the audience listen to this in disbelief that America was in such a state yet there are millions of Americans who will not watch this and just say fake news. It’s appalling
People will never reckon how thankful they should be to Pence!
I will never be thankful to that religious stiff. Miley changed the codes. The buck stops there
@@Tattiehoker That is correct, however with some trump apostle, the election would not have been certified that day. Thats what I meant by that, Pence's 15minutes.
Would be great if y’all could mark you’re 2-part videos. 🤙
Very strange how these are uploaded
What kind of lies ARE legally accountable?
