bob woodward has a special tie to the university of texas. in 2003 he and his wraug post colleague carl bernstein, placed their watergate papers here at the university's harry ransom center. it was a historically excite in acceptance. the identity of deep throat was made public. many hours of white house recordings had been released by the national archives, and the ransom center has continued to supplement its watergate holdings most recently with the generous gift of papers of legendary washington post editor ben bradley. which we look forward to opening for research use early in 2017 in the intervening years, the watergate papers themselves have been heavily consulted by our students and historians while collectively, the country as a whole has continued to come to terms with that national crisis in its continuing impact on our political life today. the watergate archive continues to give up new insights into the nixon presidency, and for years to come, it will continue to ground those histories in an historically verifiable record. but to

bob woodward interviewed p donald trump last month for "the washington post."terview with him was very revealing. let's start with ted cruz for a second. he dropped out. what does it say to you about the republican party that his message did not resonate? >> conservatism in america, in the republican party, is in a crisis. it just does not sell, and cruz -- it was not just his personality, his ideas have not taken hold, and they totally overwhelmed by the trump campaign. >> meaning that economic populism trumped social issue. >> trump trumped everything. it is all about his personality i think. if you can step back, and this is the hardest thing, he is a revolutionary. this is the trump revolution now. and we need to understand why this happened, and we need to understand in a deeper context who he is. >> that's what we want you to tell us because you have talked to him and followed him. >> yes, and we talked about your interview with putin when putin said not a stage of our life passes without a trace. we need to look at every stage of trump's life. he was her

i wish bob woodward for transparency reasons would tell us how many reporters did he and his newspaper life when he was running for president of the united states. how many reporters are they going to put on hillary clinton's life so we can know every phase of what's going on in her life? how many reporters are they going to assign to the recent story that the administration either mislead or lied to the american people about the iran nuclear deal? there's a good rule of thumb to go by, bill, reporters will run over their own grandmothers to get a story on page 1. but they will always salivate more going after republicans than going after democrats whose values they share and whose opinions they share. >> but it's pretty nakedly, i don't want to use the word corrupt, but let's say biased. look, you have got a "the washington post" that's now run by besos, he owns it marty barron from the "boston globe." he's the editor, right? fred hyatt, the uber leftist running the editorial page. we here at the factor deal with the "the washington post" on hard news stuff. we put the reporters on al

syndicated columnist george will and bob woodward, from the aforementioned "washington post." were quoted this week, as saying that the "washington post" has 20 people working on every phase of donald trump's life. >> that's correct. we've announced a month ago that we're doing a book and we're going to do stories, as this evolves. the equivalent effort will be made on hillary clinton. and it's traditional and i think particularly in this campaign, which is one of those pivot points in the history of the country, we need to tell people everything we can find out. and that means a massive effort. >> are you making an equal effort. that's something that we're hearing from folks, an equal effort on hillary clinton. you got 20 people on her? >> it's not necessarily the number of people, it's who's working on it. >> smarter people on hillary? >> no, no, but believe me, the goal here is the best obtainable version of the truth. you can't find out everything. and as we know, biography is character. look at hillary clinton's time in the senate. we should do a full excavation of it. her

we watched bob woodward this morning, or at least the alien clone from "invasion of the body snatchers> oh, my goodness. >> who said we have 20 people on trump, we don't have that many on her, but they're high quality. he said "new york times," "the washington post" would be on top of this clinton foundation stuff. not a word. the american people know this. the media is all out to kill trump and elect her and ignore bernie sanders. they are making themselves the enemies of the american people. >> did you judd says your friend bob woodward is a shape shifter in human form? that's what i got. >> you have to you "invasion of the body snatchers." >> in august when no one reads the paper "new york times" did their big front-page story on the clinton foundation. what they basically said is it's a bureaucratic mess. >> i remember that. people were watching. >> but no scandal, just badly run. >> is this a scandal now? >> it is becoming one. >> on the clinton foundation. ar we're going to hear from the fbi on the -- >> absolutely. >> the fbi is very busy. >> 147 agents by last count. >> they ha

and bob woodward said books, articles, all kinds of things about trump.me thing holds true for hillary. >> they're not doing a book about hillary. they've got a deal for a book about trump. the part about bezos is interesting, he's the owner of the "post," he's the owner of amazon. apparently he was saying i want my reporters, want the "washington post" to do a better job of explaining donald trump and then you marty barron, the editor of the paper saying we're putting all of these resources in to tailing trump. it's not just the "washington post" i've heard the same about the "new york times." >> if you're a great "washington post," fantastic, love it. read all the information. but why give us a hard time all day? why not just say -- all day. >> they're watching, they responded. do not give them a hard time. give them credit for watching and responding and coming out and saying this. by the way, i mean jeff bezos, he said we want the american people to know who they're voting for. >> give him credit. >> they're paying attention. >> i did give him credit.

>> i think it is widely misreported because what bob woodward said, yes, the post would put 20 reporters to look at both candidates donald trump an hillary clinton. it is true the post is doing a book about trump which shows you something about the lucrative media marketplace. they have long series of doing endless series on candidates can. the post revealed gary hart changed his name from gary hart pens and lied about his age. i'm for all the journalism as long as evenly applied. trish: i'm sure there is a lot they could dig up on hillary clinton as well. you have got to vet all the candidates and that is part of a journalists job to do that. >> this is what people say they want media to do. many complain barack obama didn't get full media vetting in 2008. it is fascinating listen to trump attack bezos. he has done that before including in an interview with me. first jeff paid $250 million for "washington post." undoubtedly he wanted a little more influence in washington by all accounts he is very much of a hands-off owner the sitting out there in seattle. he is not micromanaging the ne

"the washington post" is upped by jeff bezos, he owns amazon. he's worth $61 billion. he'll actually number four or five on the forbes list. he made an extra $2 billion this week as amazon's stock was going up. and he's now part of what looks like billionaires for hillary club. per, "the washington post," is digging up the dirt on the opponent, donald trump. meanwhile, he's got some nice -- not nice but made off well from hillary when announcing he has a 20-member army to go after donald trump. >> how handy he's been judge and jury and figured that out for the fbi. >> it's a tilt. it's a tilt of the washington post and the millionaires towards hillary. >> just like water gate and the coverage there. >> that's what it is. >> trump says it's not right. he's exercising political influence and that's not right. >> bob woodward went on

associate editor bob woodward says we have 20 people working on trump.'ll do a book, articles about every phase of his life. according to "washington examiner" here to break all that down, "washington examiner"'s david drucker. what is your impression of this? what is your opinion. >> this is what we do. we're in the media. somebody runs four president. we look into every facet of their life, fair or unfair. voters ultimately decide whether any of this matters to them. whether it votes. he doesn't have a vote are record. he is nationally known celebrity. people know of him. nobody really knows that much about his business dealings. there is no microscope like a presidential campaign. melissa: i totally agree with you. a lot of people were outraged by this. i thought okay, somebody is running for president needs to be thoroughly vetted especially somebody in the public eye but you're right, hasn't necessarily been under that type of microscope. woodward went on to say, we're trying to get to essence much hillary clinton, we don't believe that she intended

when you hear the -- >> -- surprising and for bob woodward to say that donald trump hasn't been vetted. he's been a public personality for decades. we've known a lot about his personals ckpad escapades. so a lot of that isn't surprised. and does it shock -- no i'm more shocked that he's going to expand the power of the federal government to squash my liberty. >> i don't think he's been fully vetted. from the financial side. >> right about that. and that is fair game. with regard to that it's sort of like everyone with carly fiorina. recessing her role at huewlett packard. a.m. adam, could this risk overkill or is this really about selling newspaper, getting ratings. because almost any story on donald trump people stop in their tracks to read it, see it, hear it whatever. >> i just don't think that overkill is the media's problem. we have some good examples here. we have worse than lies in a tabloid and delving into the past -- >> you think that's overkill. you think the fact that lies are now suing is overkill. >> i think that's what tabltd newspapers do. they put a picture of lies aga
