that was president nixon's press secretary john ziegler talking about bob woodward and carl bernsteint the "washington post" with coverage of the watergate investigation. they were subsequently portrayed by robert redford and dustin hoffman in "all the president's men" which was based on their book. >> every day bob and i would go have a cup of coffee together in the morning in a little vending machine room off the newsroom. >> it sure is quiet in here. >> and on this particular day, not that long after the break-in, i put a dime in the coffee machine, which is what it cost then. and i literally felt this chill go down my neck. i mean literally, made my hair stick up, i think. and i turned to woodward and said oh my god, this president is going to be impeached. and woodward looked at me and said, "oh my god, you're right." >> that is carl bernstein in the documentary "all the president's men revisited" which includes the perspective of some people who did not live through watergate themselves like our own rachel maddow. when we come back, a journalist who covered watergate and one of

it's carl bernstein. >> when he first came to my door, i was pretty nervous. just sit down for a second. >> i don't know why i didn't throw carl out even though i was hesitant i wanted him to know. >> she knew a lot about the finances of the campaign. she knew about the secret fund. >> she was suspicious because there were all of these large amounts of money going to people. >> was it all one hundred dollars bills. >> a lot of it was. >> it was supposed to be secret. >> i'm sure we counted in over 2 or $3 million. the great majority was cash. >> there were people who were authorized to distribute money from the secret fund. one of them was mitchell. >> john mitchell was the attorney general. he was a nixon loyalist. >> the highest law enforcement officer in america controlled the secret fund that controlled the activities. >> bradley said they're going to call him a crook. we took a deep breath and said -- i said mr. mitchell we have a story in tomorrow's paper i would like to read to you. >> he said go right ahead. i got as far as john mitchell while attorney

but to the issue of whether or not the president should testify, carl bernstein, you earlier said itble thing if the president answered questions under oath, carl. what did you mean? >> first of all, once he got in there, if it was open ended, it could be devastating and probably would be. because it would be a license for a prosecutor to go in to all of trump's history in terms of his finances, russians, russian money, all kinds of pandora's box that trump has spent years trying to keep people from opening. it's unthinkable to me that he would permit that. but there is a problem i think that he has, and i'll leave to it the lawyers to discuss. and that is activities that took place before he was president of the united states. because a lot of what we're talking about here occurred before he was president of the united states, including the possibility of criminal activity then. i'm not suggesting he engaged in criminal activity. but it certainly is something that prosecutors would want to look at. so there is a real pandora's box to repeat that phrase because it's so apt here. and

howard bernstein knows when we'll get some relief. >> looks like midweek we'll get some relief.ac is working. 80 degrees still downtown, fairfax 79, cool spots locally are in the low 70s and the humidity, if you've been outside, you feel how it's ramped up tonight. during the day and this evening not anything to show you. there's high pressure overhead. that means sinking air and suppresses development of clouds and showers. looks like that's the case for the most part again on monday. we'll start monday morning dry and mild and muggy, mid-60s to low 70s early and we'll quickly warm up to around 90 by lunchtime. in the afternoon not much activity, highs maybe 95 tomorrow at national. i think most areas stay a now tuesday we'll see a front up across pennsylvania. once again lunchtime temps near 90, but in the afternoon on tuesday some spotty showers and storms and that will be the precursor for i think more widespread activity for wednesday with a front coming and more activity, that means temperatures will start to cool off a bit as we head toward the second half of the week. we

howard bernstein will tell us when we might need it. >> we may need it as soon as tomorrow morning in a few spots, tracking all sorts of showers off to the north in pennsylvania, new york, new vagland, off to the tennessee one severe thunderstorm warning in the norfolk area earlier this evening. what i'm watching around here is this stuff in pennsylvania and ohio trying to drift off toward the south while it's moving generally east. it's having a real tough time crossing the mason-dixon line. we'll watch that overnight. one thing we're watching, too it's muggy out. if you haven't been outside, been inside with the ac, the humidity has really jumbled up, still low to mid-70s -- jumped up, still low to mid-70s now, most of us still above the 70- degree mark, so really feeling like summer now. futurecast overnight temperatures aren't dipping below 70 in d.c., mostly cloudy to start. some showers will develop especially south in the morning and some to our north and west. then we'll see in the middle of the day how many of these near leesburg and winchester, but they would be over here as

carl bernstein, we'll talk about.k you, sir, very much. >>> just in to cnn, sources are telling us that president trump is expected to reverse part of former president obama's cuba legacy. the president is set to travel to miami tomorrow to announce his plan to a receptive crowd of cuban ex-pats and their families. how far is president trump planning to go with this? >> reporter: i think it's fair to call this a partial rollback. the embassies in washington and havana will stay home but there will be more targeted efforts to go after tourism and businesses in cuba. strictly enforcing the guidelines and rules of who can travel to the island nation. on business, you're going to have businesses that are prohibited from doing any commercial with the military arm of the cuban government and the commerce arm of the military government. you're going to have secretary of state rex tillerson start a task force to try to improve human rights and expand internet rights on the island and the president will speak on the need for h

first alert meteorologist howard bernstein is out on the terrace. lucky for you. >> really comfortable now. nice and dry. it got warmer today. into the 80s. right now we're looking at temperatures, 82 in town. owings at 83. if you have plans, no problems whatsoever. we're looking at a couple showers and storms in ohio and pennsylvania. but i do we may get a few clouds but that's about it. we're going to be in good shape. as we're looking at the evening planner, the temperatures in the 70s. it won't be as cool this evening as it was let's say last evening. even tonight, our lows will be mostly in the 60s opposed to the widespread 50s we had this morning. looking at the weekend, tomorrow, we're going to push 90 in town. mid to upper 80s. a slight chance of an afternoon storm. better chances i'm thinking north of i-70. and then on sunday, boy it gets hot, humid too. mid 90s. heat index near 100. it looks like the high heat with the mid 90s will be around for at least the first half of the coming week. we'll have that toasty seven- day coming up in a fe

back with political analyst carl bernstein. we have a lot to cover so let's get through this.ou say today is a watershed moment. why do you say that? >> because trump's strategy is now apparent and it's being talked about by some around him and that is to stop this investigation in its tracks, to stop it no more whether it involves firings of mueller, rosenstein, but to stop it in its track and at the same time to prevent a move for impeachment. you would think that the two would be mutually exclusive but he's trying to do both at once. >> let's talk about these tweets. this is one of two tweets. i'm being fired for firing the fbi director by the man who told me to fire the fbi director. he calls it a witch hunt. in the interview with lester holt he says i was going to do it anyways, it doesn't matter what rosenstein said. >> he's not contradicting himself in terms of strategy. once again, let's get rosenstein out of this thing. that's his objective. rosenstein will recuse and let's stop the investigation at all costs because he does not want any more penetration of the facts

joining us now, cnn political analyst carl bernstein. obviously, carl knows a little bit about investigations, both journalistic and otherwise, as one of the key reporters behind the watergate coverage way back when. carl, thanks so much for being with us. as james comey is six days away now from testifying, a very big moment, what will you be looking for next week at this time? >> to find out what the narrative is that the fbi was doing under his leadership and whether or not the president directed him to curtail the fbi investigation, how that was worded. but i think something much bigger is happening right now, and that is that we need to understand what is being covered up by the president of the united states and those around him. the fbi knows there's a cover-up going on, but we don't know what the cover-up is about. is it about financial matters with the trump organization? is it about actual collusion with russians? we're going to find that out as these investigations move on. and what we're seeing, particularly from the white ho

you had a president who was carl bernstein said criminal.nt abused the powers of his office. that's the bad news. the good news is the rest of the constitutional system jumped and put the breaakes on him. it was the conservative judge who started the process but you had the u.s. supreme court and the unanimous decision. >> peter row di no an et nick italian guy from jersey does it. an old seggy sam urban comes in and does a good thing. >> howard baker. >> a low key guy comes through magnificently. they performed so well. i see some of that happening with dur ban and feinstein. thank you elizabeth. tune in 9 eastern for our special presentation of all the president's men revisited. when we return let me finish with trump watch. no he won't like it. you're watching "hardball." you love them together, but you've never had 'em quite like this. at red lobster's lobster & shrimp summerfest, the lobster and shrimp you love are teaming up in so many new ways. like new coastal lobster and shrimp, with a lobster tail with butter and herbs, sweet, smok

i'm joined by jamie hammond, european ceo of alliance bernstein. thanks for joining us. >> you're well some. >> you had the opportunity to look across the whole of europe from your position talk about where you see the opportunities today. >> i think there are a number of opportunities. what we've been seeing over the last few years in a low return, low interest rate environment is clients more and more wanting advice of where to invest. you mentioned european equities. european equities are considered to be, compared to other markets, perhaps suffering better value but clients are shifting away from trying to buy a certain amount of european equities, u.s. equities, and putting together portfolios to looking to what people are calling solutions and products that offer an outcome that outcome is meeting income needs or risk tolerances that they have. so we're seeing around the region people increasingly going beyond home markets. so uk investors investing less into uk equities and more into global markets and a shift into different asset classes to

i asked a close friend of mine to do it. >> carl bernstein.ers of donald trump is saying he admitted of having leaked. >> it is more than him acknowledge thag acknowledging that he leaked. we have seen the former director say today that he engineered the appointment of the special counsel. he believes that so strongly that there needed to be this investigation without intrusions from the president and those around him and the former attorney general. but, it is an extraordinary thing, not since jay edgar hoover in our country had such e fe effecti effects in our elections and our cultures. comey knows things. that's what clears from this testimony. he knows things. he's got records that he made of it and we don't know what else he knows. i cannot imagine he took all of these actions without thinking there is something, very, very serious here and that's why we see these investigations plural. closing in on the president of the united states and the president meanwhile has gone to his base making the conduct of others the issue and tried to ral

but i think on the issue of whether or not the president should testify, carl bernstein, you said it a remarkable thing if the president answered questions under oath. >> one thing is once he got in there, if it was open ended it would be devastating and probably would be because it would be a license for a prosecutor to go into all of trump's history in terms of his finances, russian money, russian investments. but there is a problem that i think that he has. and i'll leave it to the lawyers to discuss. and that is activities that took place before he was president of the united states, because a lot of what we're talking about here, occurred before he was president of the united states, including the possibility of criminal activity then, i'm not suggesting he engaged in criminal activity, but it certainly is something that pretti prosecutors would want to puck -- talk about. and before a grand jury is nixon, after he was president of the united states, he did 11 hours before a grand jury and the testimony wasn't released until a few years ago and it was a horrible picture of presi

carl bernstein, john dean, and the director of the task force. carl, is this bigger than watergate? >> i don't question if it is bigger, i said this in some ways could be worse than watergate because it is about undermining our electoral process by a hostile foreign power. and destabilizing our most basic institutions which are free electionin elections. but also watergate itself was about undermining free elections. because the objective of the nixon conspiracy was to interfere in the democratic party's primaries and see as nixon's political opponent in 1972, to see george mcgovern be the nominee of the democratic party rather than senator edmond muskie, who was the frontrunner, and through a vast campaign of espionage, the nixon white house succeeded in helping mcgovern be the nominee. so there are the parallels, but this time it is a hostile foreign power that has intruded and undermined our election process. >> he also says it's -- it is a domestic force, which is the president of the united states undermining the institution. >> well, exactly. in both cases. >> right. >> john d

publisher and managing editor decided to put two young journalists in their 20's, bob woodward and carl bernsteinn that story and not to give up on it. that sort of kept it at least in the local headlines in washington, and eventually they were able to uncover through their journalistic investigation , a much broader pattern of wrongdoing. host: over time that led to a special investigation, and we have an archive tape of then-president nixon talking about all of this. i as the new attorney general have today named elliot richardson, a man of unimpeachable integrity and rigorously high principle. i have directed him to do ensureing necessary to that the department of justice has the confidence and the trust of every law-abiding person in this country. i have given him absolute authority to make all decisions bearing upon the prosecution of the watergate case, and related matters. i have instructed him that if he appropriate, he has the authority to name a special supervising prosecutor for matters arising out of the case. whatever may appear to have been the case before, whatever in proper activi

let's go to howard bernstein. >> we will be hotter and more humid. today, we stopped in the 80s , tomorrow, the 90s are coming. if you have been outside in the last hour, you can fe humidity that has been here since late afternoon. temperatures in the upper 70s at national. clinton, 75. the cool spots have fallen into the upper 60s and west of town, we might get a patch of fog. your futurecast starting sunday morning. mid 60s to low 70s . it will warm up quickly. lunchtime, sunny, hot, 91. if you will be outside, not just staying hydrated and cool, but the sunscreen, better have it. we have the high sun angle with the sun solstice coming up. and then, as we get into the afternoon, highs will be in the low to possibly mid 60s . what you don't see on the map, any showers or storms. i'll come back in a few minutes and talk about how long the heat wave will last and what our rain chances will do as we head into the coming week. >> thank you very much howard. it is a huge weekend for the lgbtq community in washington dc. tons of pride events are going on.

big panel, paul here, jason, mary catherine, jeffrey tubin, carl bernstein, david axelrod and phil mudd. you said if that isn't obstruction of justice, i don't know what is. >> i think that's true. when you look at the full scope of activity here by the president, when you see him demanding loyalty and then making the demand -- also, think about the scene in the oval office. it's just astonishing. he asks the vice-president of the united states and the attorney general to leave. doesn't that suggest that he wants real privacy? >> and jared kushner sort of lingers and he tells jared kushner to leave. >> he tells kushner to leave. he wants comey alone. and what does he do? he says, can we make the investigation of michael flynn go away. repeatedly asks him, let him go. that to me is obstruction of justice. and the reason you know it's obstruction of justice is that when comey doesn't end the investigation, trump fires him. that's a pretty compelling case. >> catherine, is it obstruction of justice to you? >> i've been somebody who along the way has been more likely to believe comey and be

first alert meteorologist howard bernstein, he is the dad with the answers. >> hot and humid. even hotter than today. in the upper 80s today. i think we make low 90s tomorrow. we did have some spotty showers and storms, and first alert doppler tonight, a lot of activity in the midwest, but the activity here in the mid atlantic has pretty much diminished since earlier. other than a stray shower popping up, we will have a relatively quiet night and a muggy night. it is really humid. it is really warm. temperatures still in the upper 70s. in town. and on the bay. and leesburg, 79. germantown, 77. some of the heat index is still above the 80-degree mark. the future cast shows a fairly quiet overnight and we start tomorrow in the low and then lunchtime in the mid- 80s. spotty showers and storms here. and a couple of strong ones, west of the blue ridge. and with highs upper 80s, to low 90s. but it is going to be monday, as the cold front approaches, upper level winds increase, and a yellow weather alert could be strong to severe storms monday and talk more about that coming up in a

comfort in the factual basis with access journalism there is a proud tradition of that and would word bernstein had their anonymous sources but grounding would of your writing in fact, some of the obvious but rather than speculation by a political staffer with an ax to grind i search for something concrete i can use as the anchor. >> there was a shift when the media went from telling us what happened to telling us what to think. >> there is a fetish of the data are journalism for everybody who wants to be next with a rush to project the outcome of the political contest is a bad trend that leads people to shoot jump to conclusions and unsupported by the evidence purporting to there is less focus on the outcome. >> so in the american context so when the prime minister says something that is not true it is a consequence far more reaching than any media or my personal life. the prime minister of hungary went on television to say the central european university was a violation of a hungarian law but there was no such lot. he said it over national television even the government newspaper said there i

i know all the credit goes to bob woodward and carl bernstein. very little credit or fame ever goes to the whistleblower niksch this case, mark felt. and when the nixon white house was first dealing with the problem that there were serious leaks that had to come from the top -- the united states is the ship of state that leaks from the top, not from the bottom. haldeman new it was mark felts. he told richmond nixon, i think it's mark felt the fbi. the deputy the fbi. and nixon's first response was his jewish? and haldeman wants no, i think these catholic. i don't know what either one would have to do with it but the role of mark felt in the case of watergate is extremely significant. when i think of vietnam dish don't know what the first thought that comes to your mind is -- it's the pentagon papers and when i think of the pentagon papers i think of daniel elseburg and the work that daniel elsberg did in the 1970 and continues to do, including writing a very nice blush for the book that i'm very proud of and in june i'm going to appear with danie

this story that john i mean bob woodward made up with no more than just a story i knew woodward and bernstein to call. pretty interesting stuff with how. interconnected he was with all these important figures in u.s. history especially during watergate in the seventy's and what you're saying seems very broken up about what happened. people that. targeting. coming out after talking to them and looking at his book you know who really was because he kind of alludes to the fact of the you know the deep throat mark felt that we know wasn't really the deep throat or really was really behind according to my right. you know. it's a long interview people should watch the entire thing if it requires a lot of thought because in the day we know that the right wing was very paranoid but nixon in a sense that he was making the time with the russians we also know that there is you know obviously the democratic faction that hated nixon and then there's this basic question of did the conspiracy of nixon's desire to put these make it a branch also just go too far and backfire in the sense that shuffler if true

mueller, the man in charge of the special investigation, there were some questions about why rod bernsteinrosenstein would want to keep him in that position. going to follow any orders unless i believe they are lawful and appropriate under the regulation. special prosecutor mueller can only be fired for probable cause. i am prepared to put that cause in writing. were not good cause, it wouldn't matter what anybody says. david: he spelled out what you would have to do to relieve mr. mueller of his responsibilities here at how difficult would that be to do? at this point i do not think there is any basis to find good cause to terminate bob mueller. clear today, he sees no basis for doing it. the reports we were hearing is the president was considering doing it, we don't know how reliable those are. if the president were to decide removed, ids to be think the first thing is to direct the deputy attorney general to make that decision. generaleputy attorney were to refuse to execute that order, then the president would have a responsibility to do that. role: we see bob mueller's -- when you loo

bernstein and he says correlation does not mean causation.huge gains in whether or not they can continue, we do see this area of congestion here. stand, they're nervous about the chip sector that may suggest declines for both. mark: a great chart. vonnie, what have you got? vonnie: we talk a lot about stock market volatility and how low it has been for most of this year. we do not talk much about the move index. it shows the volatility in the treasury market is at lows. lows that we have not seen since right before, guess what this was, the taper tantrum. the federal reserve said it would come out and start tapering purchases. we got this huge spike in the treasure volatility index. we are right down here again. does it mean we will see a spike? we'll have to wait for the next estimate of that to find out. mark: what numbers that? vonnie: 4929. mark: correlation does not mean causation. love to hear something i did not know. yellen is in london and yours is so closely linked to yellen. i've got to give it to you because will yellen try to get

to talk about it, tammy bruce and dan bernstein. nice to see you both. tammy, ladies first.oesn't matter that it's bad? >> it depends on where we set for whether it's bad. as a viewer of popular culture in the media, we've seen this trajectory. let's not forget who coined the issue of fake news, that was the democrats. this is their effort to try to affect the nature of what has been done online. the democrats also have an issue of trying to control things, but i think what you see here, especially flick over the last eight years, you had a media that was compliant with president obama, a lovefest if you will, and now you have a few months of donald trump and this is surprising americans, the starch difference between how they covered that president versus this one. i believe that you have to confront power, absolutely, but you also have to inform the american people. a couple years ago, there was a poll that found media approval ratings below that of a cockroach. a couple weeks ago, 6 out of 10 americans were angry. they were angry at how the media was covering politics. th

let me bring back carl bernstein, one on the pair that breck watergate wide open.carl, this is going oo be the biggest television event since election night last fall. but it stretches back farther. what will you be looking for on thursday? >> i think the real comparison for watergate that tells us a lot so far is that donald trump is not fearly as effective as presiding over a cover up as richard nixon was. after being in office for only four months he now has to face the spectacle of his fired fbi director who has been replaced by someone conducting an even more in-depth investigation. nixon was a three-dimensional figure. trump emerges as a one-dimensional figure. and comey in what we have heard from him thus far about dealing with trump rescores the notion of trump being one-dimensional and trying to cover up and close down this investigation at a very inopportune moment for trump. >> i wonder if your colleague don't see eye to eye on this. he's said this is not watergate. he's been critical of what he calls a smug media going crazy over president trump. is the
