I am so happy that America still have Treasures like these men who have seen it all, and they believe in Truth, and have no fears to say the Truth at all time....They've aged well with the posts\ attitudes\ norms and proceedings of so many American presidents ..... Few of these icons are still existing; hope Americans will learn the TRUTH from them
Wonderful interview!
This is a great interview. Reminds me of the Dick Cavett show where there would be actual intellectual conversations on mainstream talk shows.
A “blast from the past,”. Rock. Thanks for the reminder of how good an interviewer Cavett.was (and of the high quality of guests he had). Seems like it was ages ago. With a few exceptions, it seems that things in general, and TV programming in particular, have gone downhill since then. Good wishes to you. JT
Fabulous interview with Woodward & Bernstein. Great to see them. 50 years later. Glad to still be here to see it.
Thank You, Stephen and crew, for giving extra time to these men and the important message they are giving to us.
Here here.
Yeah the message is leftist propaganda and stupidity.
@@bradthompson5383 oh dear...you poor li'l troll. 😆😅🤣😂😀
@@bradthompson5383 what exactly are you lookin' for between Nixon and 45? I'm not sure they entirely missed Reagans Iran-Contra deal OR that blow job during Clinton's years.
But he all means, let us elaborate on your take...
@@bradthompson5383 for instance?
GREAT interview! I appreciate (and saw) Stephen biting his tongue and not interrupting these fine gentlemen as they spoke. It's very important to let guests speak and not to interject and distract. Makes for a much better and cohesive interview.
I could listen to Bernstein, Woodward, and Colbert all night! So much respect!!
@Van Jono Quit spamming ffs
Me too
That’s sad
@@zozocreek8327 No, but you are. If you truly believe your comments about "Dems don't have policy to run on, so they're just trying to scare us" and other such bullshit, you need to ask yourself, "what policies do the republiCONS have?". Your answer will most definitely be NONE. Because when asked McConnell said that if they win control back, he will then reveal what their policies will be. Also, you should be able to see that it is also the republiCONS that are scaring people. They are the ones who make false claims about immigrants, BLM, the LGBTQ+ community, climate change, etc., just trying to unite people based off of hate and created enemies.
I challenge you to give examples of dems "creating fear". Because it's really hard to come up with any.
I'm 70, and the two are like dear uncles. It's great they're still alive and kicking, .... and still best buddies.
Legends. Glad they’re still around.
@C C Because information is now indistinguishable from misinformation.
Ernie, look for a new noun. "Legends" are usually mixed with fiction, these men are real.
@@pintificate No, I'm happy with my choice of words. Thanks.
Kudos to Colbert for getting BOTH Woodward and Bernstein. It seems that generally Woodward shows up on MSNBC and Bernstein on CNN. Rarely do we see them together. I guess CBS is neutral ground of sorts. They still work well together, each building on what the other has said.
Neutral. Lmfao
From the days of Walter Cronkite, CBS has the reputation of quality news. And NBC has "history's longest running television (news) program". Every Sunday for more than seventy years,
Meet The Press. And ABC News is flashy but credible. Fronted for so many years by Canadian Peter Jennings. Who the Hell believes Fox "News"?! Foxes are wily and deceptive. No kidding...
I think it's only because they have the 50th anniversary of their book coming out, and they're doing a publicity tour for it. I don't know if they had a falling out, or what, but you rarely see them together.
Wonder why they only show up on cnn and msnbc.....lmao
@@adeledorman6447 They speak too far over the head of the average Fox viewer, or correspondent for that matter, so they aren't invited on.
These two are so knowledgeable, so wonderful, **and** hilarious. Love your sense of humor, both. We need it so much these days.
We need someone w integrity to come forth in the Senate.
End the two party system and choose the candidate who is smart and represents your values.
Geez, big order. It's hard to find someone with integrity at all. So few that when the one or two with integrity DO come forward, they get ostracized and treated like outsiders.
Do you mean, 'someone with integrity' on the GOP side? Otherwise, your post is too sweeping. There are many congresspeople with integrity on the Dem side. Trouble is: it's essentially minority rule, ....so a minority of Senators (GOP plus 2 Dems) can nix all legislation that could help Americans.
@@QueenOfArabianSea Without a 2-party system, the US could slip further into autocracy, as happens in half the countries of the world, like (for example) Hun Sen in Cambodia, who has been in power almost 40 yrs and imprisons anyone who politically challenges his rule. Putin does same (with Navalny and others). US's GOP is on its way out, and in its place will be a 2nd party - which will be left of Dems.
Katie Jackson!!!!!!
She will blow u away.👍
"Craven" is the perfect descriptor. Thank you, Carl 🙂
These two men had a lot to do with my deciding in high school to become a journalist. That was 45 years ago. Thank you, W&B.
He hit the nail on the head there, Trump can't handle losing omg he said it was rigged when the Apprentice didn't win an emmy!
I've been saying it for years--he IS Cartman! Or like, he's got Cartman Syndrome. "I'm very strong and not fat at all and everybody likes me"...and any loss in any popularity contest (like an election), is de facto rigged.
These two gentlemen are the last of honorable journalism. They could still expose Trump if they were still in the business.
Woodward wrote a couple books about him during Trump's presidency.
Let’s not forget that Woodward could have exposed trumps miss handling of the Covid crisis in real time but chose not to in order to help his own book sales
And what would have come out of it if he had? Absolutely nothing. Trump has been caught saying worse things many times over the years, and nothing has stuck (which is the reason he's called Teflon Don). This is not the 1970s when a newspaper story could expose a crime or scandal and take down a powerful figure. Woodward is just one man, and had he appeared on MSNBC or CNN screaming at the top of his lungs that Trump was downplaying COVID, we know exactly what would have happened on the Republican side... NOTHING. Also you failed to criticize the DOZENS of Trump staffers who saw his misdeeds firsthand and could have exposed him "in real time". Certainly if General Milley or William Barr had resigned in disgust and reported their experiences right after they happened, that might have made some waves.
Not sure what you mean. They haven't been out of the business. They're not retired.
Every thing Trump does has either been done in plain sight or has been exposed. Yet he remains a free man.
It underlines the sad fact that America is no longer functioning as a democracy with an intact rule of law.
and people still support Trump. Those people are the problem
Not just Trump but the people who prop and support him up
Institutions exist that profit immensely off of both the interests of those people and their intra-class conflict they have with you and your ilk. THAT is the problem. The people that inhabit that ideological space have always existed.
It's almost like the two groups share a dialectical relationship, and you can't increase one without increasing the other??
Yes, especially after he continues to push the jabs
It's not just Trump fans, either. It's all of the people who'll defend Trump and vote for Trump, not because they like him, but only because he's a Republican. And it's all of the people who can't be bothered to vote _at all._ It's also all of the people who throw away their vote on some idiotic third-party candidate, which only helps the GOP get elected.
There's a lot of blame to go around.
Bill Garthright, Absolutely right. The very least a person needs to do as a citizen is to vote and to be an informed voter. I know there is a lot of misinformation out there, but here are a couple of clues for people 1) If it sounds ridiculous and is full of nothing but hate (example: all of the people on one side are pedophiles, certain people should be killed) then it is ridiculous. 2) Pay attention to how legislators vote, not what they say. (After voting 100% against the infrastructure bill, many republicans bragged to their constituents about the benefits it brought to their states.) Oh and 3) Don't vote for idiots who pose with their children armed with semiautomatic weapons. Geesh. Where is child protective services???
Just an awesome interview to have two good guy legends whose memories of that historic event are so crisp even after Sen. Goldwater poured those tumblers.
Barry might have been the only one who drank the whiskey, though.
Stephen has some bottles back there. What do those two heros like to drink?!
Great show… great great show😊👍🏻
Whilst I may not have agreed with Barry Goldwater on policy, I have grown to admire him as a person, in terms of his integrity and probity. For instance he once said about gays serving in the military that there have always been gay people in the military, all that matters is that you shoot straight. He supported tribal communities. He himself was appalled as the GOP moved further rightwards.
Anyone with an ounce of intelligence knew that Trump was unfit for the office of President -
Don't blame Trump for the mistakes he made. Blame the people who voted for him in 2016 because they allowed these mistakes to happen even they know he's incompetent
@@FlecheNoire07 I will blame Trump, he knew what he was doing. He knows when things are wrong but doesn’t care. He knows how to manipulate people. He did it all his life. He used to call the newspapers and say a celebrity was going to be at his hotel and knew it wasn’t true, he wanted the publicity. He’s a showman!
@@FlecheNoire07 We can blame both.
Mr or Ms Mundy, I agree with you. I had no agreement with Goldwater's policies, but with the benefit of hindsight, as many others have articulated far more persuasively than I could ever do, these are debates over policy, debates over what ways to proceed are to the benefit of the country. This is not the case today; these are no longer debates about how to invest tax dollars for the best return. Now, we are confronted with fantasies of reality; which way is up, does air exist, is the world really round. It is beyond crazy. People out there have lost their sense of reality. "Should we spend this money on roads or education, or put it into the military? Again." That's a debate. "What sound is purple?" is just fucking madness.
@@DaveT383 I agree with you Dave, and I enjoyed your style here. But as for your last question, we all know that the sound of Purple is Prince, not that any of these racist uptight fuckwits would know. And on that subject, I'd like to see a leader with good ideas and real grace and style, particularly anyone younger that a half-century, to ask nicely of the Prince estate if it could use some of Prince's most (so-called) offensive songs for a political campaign. Even if that leader didn't win, it would be funky as all hell.
The Republican party is mostly an embarrassment, but there is Liz Cheney, who's policies I dislike, but she believes in Democracy and the constitution.
Absolutely. She believes in it so much that her father actually succeeded in doing the thing Trump and his cronies tried to do!!
She's literally the daughter of a convicted war criminal- the single worst of the 21st century, and has carried on her father's legacy in EVERY. SINGLE. PIECE. of legislation she has introduced while in Congress. Not that you could name a single one.
You are cheerleading for a racist, anti-choice, pro-war Corporatist without even a hint of irony. And you deserve what youre gonna get as a result.
Don't forget Adam Kinsinger.
And is why she was ostracized from the party
@@moniqueengleman873 Any other war criminals you're a fan of that you wanna throw in there?
@@lynnturman8157 Being kicked out for being a decent human being. Makes sense for the GOP.
Wow. Nearly as many Senators hate Donnie as hate Ted Cruz. No mean feat.
Both are Gold Medalist in the Slimeball Olympics!!!
Brilliant.
And they hatelove each other.
@@scottbaxendale323 You know it !! Its a hostile circle-jerk between those two and DeSantis!!
And yet, they won't do jack squat about it because their first thoughts are, "What's in it for me?"
Love these guys. Dedicated...
I really enjoy their insight and story telling ability. I honestly think I could sit and hear about any life stories and experiences they'd want to sit and tell me and be completely captivated.
Me too! We're lucky to have these erudite, experienced gentlemen at THIS time in our nation's history as well.
@Van Jono Hmm, 4 month old account, damn spamming EVERY thread available..
So. You Russian or Chinese, 50/50 chance, ik 🧐🤨🥱
Sindol, you'd better act quickly. These men are rapidly sinking into senility. I mean that in the nicest way.
@@pintificate No they're not and no you don't "mean that in the nicest way".
The fact that Pence even needed to consult with someone to do the right thing tells me everything that I need to know about Mike Pence. Far from being a hero he was just covering his ass period.
He consulted with the right honourable fly, alright.
He stood like a mannequin while America was being tortured & raped!!
In the end, though, he at least decided correctly, even when pressured otherwise.
@@zorkmid1083 That was interesting to me. I really didn't have a lot of faith in Pence in the run up to January 6th, and I still don't believe he is the best of the current Republican party, but he did finally choose to stand with the duty he had and perform it. I was really taken aback when I heard that on January 6th, Pence refused to let his Secret Service men remove him from the Capitol, because if Pence left, "they've won." Pence actually risked his safety in obedience to duty.
@@nancyjay790 Nope. Pence refused to get in the car with the secret service, because he thought he was going to get whacked. He was absolutely terrified at that point that he'd be disappeared, executed and dumped who knows where.
These two guys are what I always think of when I think of good, stand up, decent Americans
This whole thing with Making America Great again was all a Carnival Act to make the Washington Swamp Draining and Appears to be just the opposite N it's all about Me the BULLY n the China Chop Shop N Teriffs that most Americans paid for on everything from China The Deal maker must think Americans are Stupid in Draining the China Swamp lmao that Americans paid for to the 2 Trillion Tax giveaway that Drained the Washington Swamp by 50 percent with working Americans picking up the price Tag in Draining the Washington Swamp to Covide19 closed door meetings about the killing rate of covide19 then addressing Public Donald Trump said that it's nothing it will be over in few weeks Wile some Congressional Leaders were moving N selling Stocks not from closed door meetings from news on TV lmao N Draining the Washington Swamp so what's Donald Trump Do he sends 9 Ton of PPE to China with no stock piles doe Americans to point it's all about Donald n fighting a world wide Pandemic and says to use bleach crazy chit N Inflation
Could have been nice of Woodward to release the tape of t saying how deadly the virus was rather than waiting until his book came out. Other than that I agree.
@@TheQueenRulesAll because it was bs
@@TheQueenRulesAll..... Ya pretty shitty thing he done there or if he would have testified too
Also Ben Bradley and also Katharine Graham.
Mike Pence actually grew a spine at the last moment, and only when he was convinced he could not acquiesce to trump one last time. Pence, "Christian" Mike Pence, stood by and did nothing for years while trump systematically did all he could to dismantle our democracy. Pence gets very little credit for taking a stand at the last possible moment; even if it almost cost him his life. Woodward and Bernstein could be on every night and I would tune in. Classy gentlemen with so much perspective on American politics. I love their use of the word "craven" to describe today's GOP. They have sold their collective souls to trump and his deplorables.
Exactly the right word for what the GOP has become. Maybe not Liz Cheney, though.
He was scared....not brave
Mike Pence supported everything tell he realized he might die, and them just wanted to protect himself. Pence is a deplorable person who thinks you should pray the gay away.
I agree. Pence allowed the craziness to continue for so long, that the conditions for Jan 6 became inevitable.
Pence departed the Trump train at the last minute, because it was clear that Trump and his cronies were acting illegally and unconstitutionally. There are also clear indications key members of the judiciary, the executive and military were not going to condone, support or allow Trump to implement Eastman's plan.
I'm also sure that Pence knew if the madness did proceed, there would have been a second Civil war. American cities would have burned.
Doing the right thing doesn’t have a measurement or deadline…he did the right thing at the right time. Period. Thank God.
I was camper at Interlochen arts camp and our drama director found a television somewhere and plugged it in in the theater and we watched the resignation and I cried from relief and sadness for what he put our country through. my dad worked for the Nixon administration and I was friends with other kids whose dads worked for Nixon too. there was another boy whose dad was a reporter at the Washington Post and he also cried. But most of the other campers were less than interested, as kids often are. And that made me sad too. I wonder if they care now.
TheBelllsTolling: You know, Richard Nixon actually committed an act of treason during the Vietnam War. While Nixon was running for President in 1968, President Lyndon Johnson wanted to begin new peace talks between the North and South to try to end the war within the next year or 2 (and some believe that this could have worked had Vice President Hubert Humphrey won in 1968). However, Nixon secretly contacted the leaders of both sides in Vietnam and basically told them to not make any deal with Johnson and wait until after the election, because if Nixon won he promised to provide both with a better deal which (unknown to the public at the time) was his "secret plan" as he called it. According to the U.S. Constitution, Treason (which is the ONLY crime fully defined within the document) is providing aid or comfort to an enemy that we are fighting during a time of war. And even when President Johnson called Nixon to confront him on this, Johnson knew Nixon was obviously lying when Nixon said that he wasn't preventing Johnson's new peace talks from happening, but Johnson couldn't do anything about it. So yeah, Richard Nixon committed an actual act of treason but the public didn't know about this potentially damaging piece of evidence that could hurt him as President and the United States when they had voted for him in 1968, and it's thanks to this action by Nixon that the Vietnam War lasted an additional 5 years and costs thousands more American lives.
@@jessetorres8738 Yes, I watched this in a documentary about…cant remember who, lol. And maybe I read it in one of my liberal history books ; ). I would say we’re at about 60 (not) to 40% for presidents who are sociopaths. And nowadays, people want a Messiah. They expect the president to be shining and perfect. No human being is.
@@thunderousapplause who "expects the president to be shiny and perfect?" We just had a con man with 3 personality disorders and ADHD as our president....not sure what you mean.
@@Blue_Dun Bidens low poll numbers and the media’s continued attacks of him. That’s what I mean.
@5:12 " Shamelessness.... "
--- Jerry Springer's TV show in the 90s led to the election of Donald Trump.
The difference is that all our former Presidents before trump actually respected the office! And trump has never had any respect for the Presidency..or for Congress, for that matter.
... or for the nation or its people!
@@alankobrin762 or even himself
So many of the safe guards rely on the basic morality of the lawmakers
@@johnnym3071 oh he loves himself.....
I wouldn’t say ALL our former presidents respected the office. Clinton and Nixon immediately come to mind
I still say this was the first time in 75 years that this individual was told no and he couldn't handle it.
I agree, but why won't the Republicans in Congress stand up to toddler Trump throwing his tantrums?
Shows you how sad the situation in the US actually is.
A failed coup attempt left unpunished is nothing more than a training exercise for the next coup!
"I won't be your friend anymore, and I won't let you play with any of my toys anymore." Trump, ever the ill behaved six year old.
He's a little boy grown tall; a deeply insecure, hate-filled bully with a cult-like following. I somewhat pity him, but more importantly, I fear for our country.
Exactly, the six year old who was caught lobbing rocks at the neighbor's baby in its backyard playpen. Some things never change.
Trump is desperate
"I'm not going to invite you to my birthday party at Mar a Lago!" Wow, those are fighting words 🤣
Because Trump so desperately wants to be accepted by those who look down on him, he assumed that his underling would feel the same way. This is precisely the same reaction he had when Pres. Xi didn't sell his own country down the river despite the fac that Trump served him "the best chocolate cake in the world." Trump can't conceive that even someone like Xi can operate taking into consideration how a decision he makes will go down with the Chinese people. He fits in perfectly with Putin and Kim.
Funny and sad like 😂😢😭
And my response would be "Ya promise??"
they are shameless fascists.
not that hard, people...
Money and GREED go hand and hand. This shows how people will justify anything to get their hands on more n more money.
todays greed for money and power is beyond anything i have seen in my lifetime
Must be difficult for you to be African American the last 6 years.
Woodward and Bernstein are true, courageous American heroes. We are fortunate to still have them, their wit and wisdom among us.. It’s beautiful to see them together and enjoying each other’s company with Stephen. Long may they run.
James...I was just thinking the same thing. How cool it is that they are both still around and active and sharp. They are old school journalists...the likes of which we don't see anymore. Truth was as important as the story itself. Now days, truth be damned.
@@Blue_Dun Thanks, PJ. Cheers to you. JT
I have a 6yo who had a temper tantrum this morning. Like a good adult, I didn't give in, because "spoiled brat" isn't a title I want for my children. Especially when they're adults.
How did you handle it ? Can this be applied to trump
I remember Nixon’s resignation vividly. We were a host family for an international student. She was terrified and asked if we needed to hide and stockpile groceries. It didn’t occur to me that this would have been her reality at home. I hated what Nixon did and the whole Watergate saga, but I was so proud to be an American and know there could be a peaceful transfer of power and there were men and women of principle making it happen.
Sad to say tjose were the good old days, right?
🤔😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
This time the Law and the Constitution appear to have prevailed. However it was closer than ever. Come 2024 both of these things we thought of as bastions against such machinations may fall because not enough Americans are willing to put in the efforts to stand at the polls and stop it.
I hope that you are wrong. But I'm really fearful for our democracy
The greatest honor the people of the United States of America can bestow on a man.
And it was not enough.
The people didn't. Nearly 3 million more voted for Hillary.
@@pendorran I believe the Russians cost Hillary the election.
Nothing is ever enough for the person who has always had more than they deserved
Nixon also had some humility and self respect.
Nixon despite all his obvious flaws was a lawyer and intellectual man with self awareness and was an adult. Trump is none of these things
Trump can't even spell humility
And, he actually cared about America. Misguided as he was, Nixon craved power not just for the form of it but for its substance, because he believed he could use it to make America better ...
if the DOJ doesn't do anything after these hearings are over, then Donnie will keep doing them and knowing that he will face no consequences. SO FAR, NOT GOOD
"Part of our problem with politics is no transparency"...do what? We have never had this from our legislators. Admittedly, it is worse now. All I can say is VOTE in the midterms and get some sh*t done. If Democrats can hold on to Congress, there may be some "Hope"...but I ain't holding my breath.
The Republican Party will never again get my vote, on any level.
@@kokohead333 I am not quite as stalwart as you. But they will have to be an incredible Republican like Adam Kinzinger.
This Republican stood his ground... but only after consulting with Dan Quayle.
I still can't wrap my mind around that one. What a world we now live in. 🤡
Y’know, I still think it’s important to highlight it. Two of what have been considered the weakest links in the party weren’t willing to overturn the election. What excuse do the more powerful have for laying down and letting Trump use them as a foot scratcher?
@@BeeWhistler It's because they were weak that they didn't go through with it.
Trump's coup should have succeeded so that there's no more argument over whether or not it was a coup attempt.
The United States of America has to face the horrible reality that the Republican party is a treasonous terrorist organization that is fighting a Civil War against our country. To admit this means to admit that real measures must be taken to outlaw and abolish the Republican party.
"We are fighting the same people who we fought in World War II." - Chair of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley speaking to Congress about the GOP
He only had one choice, Quayle is the only VP as pathetic as him!! Cheney is no longer around!!
@@BeeWhistler Excellent point on how cowardly the Hero of the day was!!!
@@kellyhunt5888 Actually, he is, but given his daughter's position in the party, he's the last person Pence would have consulted with.
The reason Trump is the way he is, is going to be because he never had consequences for his actions and his parents gave in to his demands as a child. He learnt that if he screamed enough he would get his own way.
Correction----his father gave him free access with no demands as a child----his mother, like all women had no say at all in business, at least until his daughter came along...!
And those that support Trump are no better as they have no discernment and they want what they want when they want it.
I dont see him not getting arrested this time. We have never had a prime time hearing like this where all the crimes are laid out on a time line. DOJ prosecutors are watching. So is Garland.
@@williamlacentra2808 growing up in NY I heard about the mother. She actually had a lot of say and was an evil cold hearted witch. Behind closed doors, she was running the show and everyone was afraid of her.
His Dad raised him this way. There is a documentary about Fred Trump and Cohn.
Goldwater was a fascinating conviction politician he was so right in warning against religious influence in politics and so wrong about the civil rights act. These two seem morally and intellectually contradictory.
He was a hardcore libertarian. liberal on social issues but unwilling to use the government to achieve those goals, conservative laissez-faire on economic issues. However detestable he was at least he had a spine. We would be much better off if the GOP was run by people like him instead of the Trumpists.

"Craven"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍
A lot of brilliant people have spent countless hours trying to understand the words and deeds of a child named Trump.
Yes...but when I scream at the screen " you're like a f'ing eight year old !"
I remind myself how insulting that is to every eight year old.
The thing with Trump is there isn't much to "get". He's a grifter and an egomaniac, and not at all intelligent. He's used to brute forcing everything in his life, which means he just blurts out whatever dumb thing he's going to do. He also likes to play the mafioso, like when he threatened pence by saying if he didn't steal the election from him, he wouldn't 'be his friend anymore" (he'd try to kill him). You top all of that off with not having ANY capacity to accept critique, and you have Trump.
The BAD SEED CHILD djtRUMP!
I love how many people are still obsessed with trump after everything that's been going on for the last year and a half. Astounding. Your gas is insanely expensive, no border, inflation that will unavoidably end in a depression. Buuuut because you don't have the self Control to turn off MSM and Twitter, you don't care about any of it. Amazing. Astounding, really.
Trump is proof you do not have to be smart to make a fortune.
No balloon for you, Donnie. No balloon for you.
We should take away his birthday too!
Trumps ego has screwed him again. He should've resigned so pence could pardon him.
That is really what I thought would end up happening, but I was wrong
Saying that Trump is acting as poorly as a six-year-old having a tantrum is actually an insult to six-year-old having tantrums worldwide. You can negotiate will follow about easier.
These two guys are so cute together! Great to see how they seem to genuinely like and respect each other. They've made such a valuable team over the years!
The fact that "I'm not going to be your friend anymore" wasn't the object of widespread derision, because there was just SO MUCH ELSE, shows how bad this was.
“I’m not going to invite you to my birthday party down in Mar-a-Lago!”
What!?! What grown adult says that to another grown adult! 😂
I’m sure Pence was super upset he didn’t get a balloon-sculpture hat at Trump’s 7th birthday!
"He thought he could overwhelm the law and his VP", I think you forgot he was also trying to overwhelm the Constitution, as well.
"If you don't do it, I won't be your friend Hhmmpppff!"
Don't threaten me with a good time!!
Constitution & Law Bravo Bernstein & Woodruff. The threat of not being invited to Trump's birthday party .. .priceless
Actually I don't think Trump's wife attended his birthday.
Donald Trump is what happens when you make your kid a millionaire to get out of paying taxes before he’s even old enough to drive.
dumb trump happens when your story and added no education or parenting giving values and/or morals. You can make a kid a millionaire if you raise him decently through good parenting.
Touche! 💥👏 & he was your POTUS. 😂🤪😱Your REAL problem is your family, friends, neighbours who voted for him, would vote for him again, if your incompetent AG does not do the job he "WAS" paid to do, *that your Jan 6 Com is exposing to America & the rest of the world to see.
@@heavierthanlight7173 what lessons could you possibly be teaching your kid if they are a millionaire before they’re even old enough to drive or have their first job and consequently never have to work a day in their life if they don’t want to? Donald Trump doesn’t know how to love. Or how to sympathize. He doesn’t even know how to buy groceries. No kid with an upbringing like that could possibly have a good grasp on reality.
@@craigcampbell1843 I know people with lots of money who have kids. Those kids (my friends) are pretty straight forward, caring, nice with normal values. They only bought a house from daddy's free access of money and are already 12 years setting out on their own, making their own money. So it's not how you NOT shape a person to be, but how to shape (parenting) a decent person who has been taught responsibility accountability and the way to treat people how you want to be treated. If you neglect all that stuff, you surely can end up with a trump like figure...
@@heavierthanlight7173 A story that old rump has had legally suppressed involves a time when he was a child and his mother gave him a 'yuge' birthday party. According to some who were there, he threw a massive temper tantrum and was sent to military school shortly after that.
Trump has no clue that most of the world thinks he’s a joke. I wonder if his kids realize, or if they’re in denial too.
So correct. And yet I see so many idiotic MAGAts claiming he was respected. As someone from the rest of the world, trust me that’s a joke. He was (and is) widely reviled, even by those that are so called “conservatives”.
Ivaanka has always known but it suited her to suck up for a few years.
Ivanka and Tiffany, maybe Barron, know. But Junior is too deep in drugs to think clearly and Eric...duh!
thanks, Stephen, for having really great, important guests on your show.
6-year-olds will eventually go to sleep and stop...Not Trump!
when McCarthy begged him to tell the rioters to leave the Capitol: “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.” On the night of Jan. 5, when Pence told Trump that he had no authority to overturn the election, Trump was listening to the raucous crowd gathered outside the White House and asked the vice president, “What if these people say you do?”
It is becoming increasingly apparent that all Trump's appearances and proclamations were aimed, not at garnering enough votes to win, but at convincing his base that he was automatically the winner whatever the outcome at the polls.
Cautioning them against mail-in voting (of which Republicans had been the original instigators) is a case in point: he knew but didn't care that it would harm his eventual tally, because he wanted the early appearance of being ahead, in order to validate his long-sown narrative of a robbed election.
it was obvious even to him that he could not win a fair fight, so he threw the match in a way which would start a brawl in the crowd.
It looked as if he was making the same stupid mistake as the USSR in the space race (they contrived to win almost every milestone for nearly a decade, but omitted to build a solid foundation for the "home straight", soft-landing humans and getting them home.)
But he had a twist: unlike the USSR, he effectively convinced some sane people (not just the usual conspiracy nut cases) that the Americans had faked their landing.

Hard to say what the sentiment was for the first impeachment, but it's apparent that McConnell really wanted The Former Guy convicted in the second one. With 40 Republican Senators hating TFG, it seems like if McConnell had pushed like he usually pushes, TFG would have been convicted 90-10. Instead, he made the political calculation that obstructing it would be better despite knowing what was right. To my mind, that makes McConnell TFG's biggest enabler. He's as much a fascist as any of them.
Woodward’s digs are good ones. Objectivity still in place, the ridiculousness of the situation too much to avoid the joke.
Three charming, lovely men
Craven is a great characterization!!
Little Lord Trump needs a Binkie and a pair of Depends not the Key to Fort Knox and Nuclear Codes!!!
These two great historians -----writers and journalist remind me of the late great Historian Gore Vidal--had he been alive today----he would be sitting in that chair alongside Woodward and Bernstein...!
I know Woodward said it wasn't authenticated, but if t***p actually DID in fact uninvite Pence to his birthday party, I personally wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised.
Thank you for doing this! Everybody needs to see & hear this!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I turned 17 the weekend of the Watergate break-in. I watched the drama unfold as a curious older teenager, finishing up high school and then as a freshman in college. I figured out pretty quickly that something stunk in the Oval Office of the White House, and it wasn't a day old salami sandwich. What I don't understand is what took Barry Goldwater (ans so many other Americans) so long. I also don't know why Pence gets credit for doing the right thing when he had to check in with Dan Quayle to be sure.
Best tv interview of all time. Fantastic men, all three of them
It's so cool to see the two partners - still kicking and still friends with each other. I'm 70, and they're like dear uncles to me. I was 21 and residing in DC during the Watergate hearings, .... and I watched every moment. I even saw Halderman, near the WH on 16th Street, looking like a spy. I think he was trying to score heroin (for himself and/or Nixon?). Nixon was already a bourbon alcoholic and manic depressive, so why wouldn't he want to do some street heroin? It's a comforting drug.
What a bizarre coincidence that I just happened to watch All the President's Men for the first time in my life yesterday-- the day that they were on the show.
I hope some college has the sense to hire these men as lecturers. History lecturers. Because they have it all in their heads.
It’s so cool to see these two absolute legends of journalism together just riffing and reminiscing on the political history they lived through and covered for the past 6 decades. So many People born and raised in the internet age have no idea what actual journalism means and the ethics needed to properly do this extremely valuable job. Props to two living icons!
One of the saddest things in America is that our people are not even transparent and open with how they feel about anything, even about themselves.
The hateful mob that attacked the US Capitol on 1/6/21, who tried to violently bring down the Government of the U.S., clearly showed their emotions.
@@GoGreen1977 i would say that the showed their fear, though they called it anger.
When trump was first elected and I talked to people about how horrible he was, the people who agreed with me whispered like they were afraid to let anyone overhear us. It was chilling to me. I kept thinking "We're not there yet." It's scary when people think it's "1984"
40%?....It's probably closer to 70% who hate him, but are afraid to say anything..
respect these old school guys Bernstein and Woodward....they've seen it all, and their words are wise and sincere
More like a three-year old throwing himself on the floor, kicking & screaming because his mommy told him "no."
I want a balloon
This is a real treat!
Woodward is my hero....a man who held onto the information about trump willingly knowing that COVID was serious but purposely downplayed the severity until Woodward released his book few months later,
Ravi Peiris M.D.
Placing blame on the wrong person. Trump. TRUMP. Get the spelling correct.
And since you're a doctor, what did YOU do at the beginning of the pandemic?
I could listen to Woodward and Bernstein talk for hours. These guys have seen a LOT, and their insights are invaluable.
I can't get the thought out of my head that Bob Woodward is exactly like Ronan Farrow will be in 40 years.
Awesome to see these two together
Tdump is living bile.
Woodward and Bernstein... two incredible men. I admire them so much. Such class, so educated, such integrity and strong characters.
Yeah, Nixon was one of the party and not the people. The party mattered most. Trump has his army and he will burn the party down before he gets dropped. Different sources of power between these two, the difference in behaviour is totally justified.
There's very little courage in today's political leader on both sides of the isle. One can count the politicians of ethical fortitude on one hand.
I personally would have GREAT RESPECT for Mike Pence, if he were to go "LIVE", in front of the January 6th committee (preferably in prime time TV), and told EVERYTHING about his meeting with the "former twice impeached, disgraced president " on January 5th and what that conversation was about, it would go a long way, in my consideration of voting for Mike Pence, for President of The United States of America...just saying...
Pence was happy to support Donald for four years of lies, and the reason he didn't refuse to certify was because he couldn't, not because he wouldn't..
You'd vote for that as president?
😂😂
@@dfr6663 Exactly. If his hands hadn't of been tied, I guarantee he would have rejected to count.
I don't think he is cut of that cloth.
Love those two Gentlemen just great humans 🙏🏻🙋🏼♀️
… 2:11 - 2:18 “this is a tough human, someone who watched water boarding” what a quote 🤣🤣 watching America effectively get water boarded doesn’t make someone tough(what you did to stand up for America during this autocratic/etc abuses of power blip in modern American history, makes one tough). Wouldn’t one think those who effectively got unjustly water boarded by the open ended direction of an autocrat/dictator/etc would be the tough one, not the one who sat back and watched it happen within a 4 year period of a blip in modern American history. Doing the dirty laundry for a guy who seemly sent his henchmen to beat Americans out of the way so that he could take a photo holding a bible 🧐really 🤔 so tough. This is America the best country in the history of the world thus far 🇺🇸 , it’s not North Korea. Do better. So tough. Psh. FBI/(okay admittedly many in the CIA/FBI/etc but that’s not the portion that’s focused on in this case study)/etc are tough for at least attempting to stand up for American people in America and attempting to uphold American values during the 4 year blip of American history. But those who knowing sat by and or partook in those abuses of power and the American values, are the least bit tough for betraying America and it’s people during this blip of modern American history, it’s the 21st century. Others knowingly watched the abuses of power occur (i.e. to the American people), that’s not being tough… that’s SPINELESS weakness of American values to knowingly stand by without standing up for the most basic American values. These guys are kind of funny, in part for the wrong reasons tho 🤦🏾♂️ 😂oof
Christopher Hitchens underwent the torture simply to understand it in the name of journalism. He immediately turned on the Bush administration using it.
Thank you Steven.. I’ve been wanting to see Dumb and Dumber for a while ..
I am beginning to think Mike Pence, the unlikely hero of the story, might well have earned himself a Peace Prize
Gee, Pence getting the Nobel Peace Prize would kill Trump.
I’m in . . .
Nope.
Stop pretending he's some kind of hero. He sat quietly by and let Trump shit on the Constitution for YEARS and only spoke up when it affected him personally. Yes, he saved democracy, but only as a byproduct.
Sad when just doing the bare minimum legally required by your job requirements means you're eligible for a Nobel.
You mean, Piece of Pizza, don't you?
@@TheSpicehandler One could have felt very differently had the chap swung the other way, which, mercifully, he did not. But I get your point too. Our perspective just varies perhaps.
I remember the Nixon hearings,I was home for weeks with bronchitis. Captivating. Today, such looney bins in Congress and b.s. thrown around out loud, not in secret, that I wonder if our nation will survive.
0:55 - 1:27 wow does that make it better or worse that they stood by witnessing the abuses of power to the people they signed an oath to serve above all else. 4 years of abuses of power, 4 years may be a blip in American history but that’s a significant amount of time in regards to the average American lifespan… it’s true the abuses were not equally distributed across the board and may or may not have affected their targeted voting bases, but for the sake of America and all Americans knowingly turning a blinds eye to the abuses we all witnessed in front of our very own eyes is a betrayal to the people of the country they signed an oath to serve. Not sure he’s effectively saying what he thinks he’s intending to say in regards to knowingly/intentionally or unknowingly/unintentionally doing wrong… does it not seem worse when people in power/influence knowingly do wrong by America and the people of America 🇺🇸 🤔idk it doesn’t sound any better
I have so much respect for these icons of investigative journalism. Also love how grandfatherly they are about telling stories about having a drink with Barry Goldwater lol
