he never met bernstein until very late in his life. he met and leaked information to woodward because he wanted to become the number one guy at the fbi. the fbi director had died in may of 1972 a month before or six weeks before the watergate scandals seminal crime the break-in. the democratic national headquarters and that said in motion an intense rivalry to become who was going to become the fbi director. there was an acting director el patrick gray. felt was number two. he wanted to become number one. so he was leaking information to undercut. his rivals inside the fbi. inside the fbi this is a an interpretation that is persuasive in my view and it's the subject of of a book length treatment called leak mark felt self-disclosed is deep throat in the year 2005 when he was in his 90s. encouraged by his family to do so leighton his life. so, you know if you look closely at the hairline here. there is some so maybe there was a hint or clue in the movie the 1976 movie. that the deepthroat character played by how holbert played exquisite

bob woodward and carl bernstein. these were reporters of the washington post, the lead reporters in the watergate scandal for the post, they teamed up in 1972 and worked together through the scandal in 1974. together they wrote to books about the washington scandal. kelsey graham is another name that will encounter. she was the post publisher during the watergate scandal. the post was a family own newspaper and she was the publisher from 1969 to 1979. she backed the watergate investigation. sometimes in the face of government pressure, catherine graham died in 1970. he was the post-executive at the time. that is the top news from official of a newspaper. then broadly broadly oversaw the watergate coverage with his newspaper. me he was the executive editor for 1968 to 1991, aperiodic that watchfully coincided with the posts rise to the top ranks of american journalism. bradley died in 2014. another name that will here is that of michael get lure. he was the posts on his ban, or in house media critic. he was there for

and woodward and bernstein are now in their 70s. they are still prominent on the national media stage. which of these four factors, in your view, is perhaps most persuasive? if you had to say, okay, one of the four is most persuasive and this is it and why. caleb? >> i would say it's easy to remember to tell. i think a lot of times, unless you are really into politics or even journalism or communication, your probably not going back and re-reading all of the details of the watergate scandal. we will hear about it and remember what it was from other people. i think that will be my argument for it. that's what happens the most, so people aren't getting accurate information. >> nicely said. summer is a shun here is the driving factor. other likely reasons? which of the four? isabelle? >> i'm actually going to go with number three, and probably say that the movie did the most work to probably convince popular consciousness that this was a thing that really happened, and you should believe it. because i think sinema, more than marissa wa

bob woodward, we should note, is the more recent author of "peril," carl bernstein the author of "chasing history," and together they wrote "the president's men." i hear those amazon links clicking from right now where i sit. bob, let me start with you. much of the former president's time in the white house, donald trump's, was about, in some ways, it seems, provoking violence. was this the first time you've heard through testimony, however, about him actually resorting to anger and violence himself? >> yes. it definitely is. i'll tell you, one of the things that struck me, if i may say in all of this testimony, it connects to john dean going back to nixon 50 years ago. cipollone, the white house counsel for trump, if you follow the testimony and other things that have come out, he's just running around the white house bursting with, don't listen to donald trump, don't do what the president says, i'm worried about this, i'm worried about that, and carl and i were speculating today with knowledge that one of the things the white house counsel does is sit in on national security council mee

so but for this is entirely possible mark felt would never bother leaking to woodward and bernstein at all . >> and bob woodward wasn't bob woodward either. bob woodward is the kid is just beginning to learn the craft. the serendipity of that. i want to take you to something you right at the start of the book which is will talk about the book and how it came and then start delving into the story itself but early on in the introduction garrett says this. watergate represents much more than an individual moment decision event or target. it has sony pass that there is no simple motive or story to tell. no single thread that makes all the pieces come together. , yone who's done journalism that's a striking thing to say. in 2020, probably more than ever we're all taught find a narrative. find the line through the story, find the art which gives the reader or the viewer and if you're writing the pilot for your netflix drama series'for your writing a piece of investigative journalism you have to think what's the line. once the top line, take me through it and you begin this book as a project

also, carl bernstein whose reporting with bob woodward uncovered the watergate scandal.rizona house speaker rusty bowers said during his very moving testimony today. let's play that. >> and i said, look, you are asking me to do something that is counter to my oath, when i swore to the constitution to uphold it, and i also swore to the constitution and the laws of the state of arizona, and this is totally foreign as an idea or a theory to me. and i would never do anything of such magnitude without deep consultation with qualified attorneys. you're asking me to do something against my oath and i will not break my oath. >> carl bernstein, let me ask you something. was that a john dean moment, do you think? >> i don't think we're there yet. it was a moment of great integrity. it was a moment at which we see in fact what liz cheney said in her closing statement. there will come a day when donald trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain. >> she said that to all -- >> to the republicans who have not gone along with this investigation and tried to shut it down and tried to i

for this it's entirely possible that mark felt would have never bothered leaking to woodward and bernstein at all. yeah. and bob would wasn't bob woodward either. i mean, but would the kid. who's just beginning and just beginning to learn the craft and it's another serendipity of that very striking. i want to take you to something you write at the start of the book, which is because we'll talk a bit about the book and how it came and then we'll start delving into the story it tells but early on um in the introduction garrett. says this watergate represents much more than an individual moment decision event or target. it has so many parts that there is no simple motif or story to tell no single thread that makes all the pieces come together. now anyone who's done journalism? that you know, that's a striking thing to say. i mean in 2020 probably more than ever. you know, we're all taught. find a narrative find the line through the story find the ark which gets the reader or the viewer, you know if you're writing your your the pilot for your netflix drama series or you're writing a piece of i

joining us now, bob woodward and carl bernstein, whose reporting on the watergate break-in, which was 50 years ago today, started a series of events that led to the resignation of president nixon. a new edition of their book about all those events, "all the president's men" is out now, and carl bernstein's book "chasing history: a kid in the newsroom" also available now. bob, you say you have been obsessively watching the january 6th hearings. i wonder what you think so far, and especially yesterday the major takeaway is. >> it is an accumulation of compelling evidence that if you look at what the law is, 18 usc 371 that says clearly it is a crime to subvert the legitimate function of government. january 6th, the day they had to certify who is -- who has won the election is that moment. in fact, it is the only moment in the constitution and the law and we now see and we now know and we have known for some time that trump worked on this for months to subvert it. not only is it clearly against the law, but it is against common sense, it is against the constitution and the legal system w

daniel suzuki, richard bernstein definitive, i cannot say enough about richard bernstein's classic bookl investing -- style investing." you people are heated that technology is a valued trap. why is it? daniel: there is a lot people are saying, things have gotten cheaper. obviously, they have. that is the argument you could've made three months ago, six month ago. that was the same argument they had people making from the early stages of the tech bubble in 2000. it has to come to the fundamentals, province, quiddity, sentiment. the sentiment perspective remains the most well loved of the market. despite volatility, they are seeing influence in many areas of the market. they are calling it the biggest beneficiaries of the liquidity boom. liquidity goes the other direction, that has become a major headwind for these areas. people have this impression these are defensive areas of the market, they are not cyclical. that was the case in the pandemic, but if we go through the run of the mill economic slowdown, their earnings are in a slowdown. you are seeing the results. it is probably not be

judy: what about that, andrea bernstein? you've talked to a lot of people around us.hat are you hearing about whether brett -- the former president could speak about this? andrea: his own white house counsel thought he would be in serious legal jeopardy if he went to the capitol. he was warned that he could be charged with it obstruction of an official proceeding, but it is quite stark that the white house lawyer told the president that the white house lawyer warned the chief of staff the president could have blood on his hands. that is the man who in the president's first impeachment essentially blocked all of his participation coming from the white house. this is someone who is very loyal to trump who was saying these things at the end of the day. so i think there is concern there. at the very end of the hearing, the dramatic finale was when representative cheney asked cassidy hutchinson weather meadows asked for a pardon, and she said yes, he did. then the curtain dropped on her testimony. there was a very strong sense that he thought he had done something wrong. n

in a moment, a conversation with bob woodward and bernstein, whose reporting did more than most to makeclear that watergate was for more than the simple break-in it first appeared to be. it's worth mentioning now because contrary to the impression people might have today, knowledge about what watergate truly was in size and scope and the threat to democracy it posed did not come all at once all neatly wrapped up in a bow. it was revealed in day by day slices of the truth by bob and carl and so many others. that notion seems just as true tonight, 50 years later, when it comes to the latest assault on democracy. almost since the day capitol was attacked, so many that it's hard to keep track, and harder still to be surprised or imagine any of it changes what we think we already know. yet this week, the house january 6 committee, even as it tries to bundle up the scandal and tie a bow around it, has also delivered plenty that is new. and today promised more. listen to committee member zoe lofgren today on cnn talk about donald trump's effort to strong arm georgia secretary of state brad raf

jared bernstein is with us. hard to say which way this will go, jared, whether congress will go with it. but i guess my question is more why now? gas prices have more than doubled. why only now looking at relief on the fed gas tax? >> i think now is an important moment given that since putin mustered troops for his completely unjustified attack on the sovereign nation of ukraine, gas prices are up about $2 a gallon. in terms of now, i think it's important to recognize, neil, that this is one of many efforts that the white house under the president's direction has been taken. many are on the supply side. so this is a dip in to trying to help folks directly at the pump. as one of your folks that you interviewed said, every little bit helps. it's not the only thing we're proposing by a long shot. if we get refiners to share their margins, states to take down taxes, we can see a more significant relief at the pump. it's an important piece of a larger puzzle. >> neil: that might be the case. but sort of your job in t

how are you able to work with or collaborate with with carl bernstein and bob woodward on that project and at all if you did well, i knew both of them from the washington post particularly bob woodward. and you know as interested in i i didn't. actually, i asked woodward for a blub and he agreed and then he said he had his own book to write and focus on so he didn't even give me a blur. but anyway, no hard feelings, but i wasn't really didn't. feel the need to do a lot of interviews. i mean, i've talked to woodward particularly woodward often about watergate and i investigated this whole question mark phil mark felt, you know, the question of who was deep throat. i mean that all comes out in this book, you know, but i didn't really need to talk to people 40 years 50 years after the event because the you know, i had enough problem listening to all these tapes and dealing with i mean the contemporaneous material is so rich. that it's and it's much more valuable and much more authentic than people's memories 50 years later. so if you want to read a would get woodward's perspective on some

and i looked up and said to my breakfast partner, that looks like carl bernstein and she said it is. and i said who's that guy next to him? it was bob woodward. so that is the way the day started out. i thought that was auspicious. i will get to questions. this is actually a very interesting great panel that we have. i will just mention that we do have an opportunity for audience questions. and that will happen at about a quarter to six. so that we wrap up by 6:00. and i would urge you -- there will be a microphone. if you raise your hand somebody will get you the mic and you can fire away. some of my colleagues from the washington post are here. so, i know that we will have some heavy-duty journalism happening. so, william golson of the working institution told my colleague dan both recently that we've been living for nearly half a century in the world that water make -- watergate made. as of today, the word watergate nearly goes away. it has been 50 years. so, with that, we want to understand just what that means. and i think you will forgive me if i have the first question go to l
