and he didn't, in the immediate, and then i found this book that he worked with and bob woodward, the last of the president span -- >> we both have our copies. >> this is my beloved copy of the book. i ordered two -- and i read it three times in a night. i saw in alex, the person that i wanted to be. i saw somebody that had not only this incredible moral character, and this incredible america patriotism, but he knew that if he was ever asked to testify, he'd be forthcoming. he would tell the truth. and he had no reservations about that. that's how i wanted to be, and that's where i wanted to get myself. i was in a really dark period of my life, but alex sharing his story nearly 50 years later with bob woodward, is the reason i'm sitting here today, and if there's anything hopefully we'll have more time to discuss it, this book was profound, and i think alex is what the most incredible people i've had the honor to know and meet. but the fact that he was willing to share a story, but also share the truth, history will repeat itself if we don't have good people in government willing to s

so he did work on this book with bob woodward. so i ordered several copies of it. you could see, i mean, this tabbed. i wish we could pass it around, although it's a little embarrassing but he really was the man and it seems now looking back it was should have seemed so obvious. but i didn't really have anybody in my i was in a very dark period of my life. and this period of almost complete isolation of people who i wasn't isolated from were my former friends in trump world, who i wasn't being my authentic self with. so when i read this book that alex had worked on with bob woodward, he's alex became my friend in these pages and i felt i could relate to him and his journey, but also like who he was and he inspired me to then, you know, start to try to correct course and try to find a second chance. so you know, there are many people in this journey who i pay tribute to, but alex is one that he is just another incredible american. and but, you know, it's it's unfortunate that that 50 years after watergate, we're in a position where we're dealing with the results of

the atlantic, his profile of general milley called "the patriot" this was approved in a book by bob woodwardta last year, i don't particularly understand why this would prompt donald trump to call for his execution and accuse him of treason when there's literally nothing treasonist about this except this is another comment by donald trump and comment disparaging somebody who served his country for four decades, somebody who was chairman of joints chiefs of staff because donald trump appointed him to that role and who kept the country, you know, in the -- kept the ship sailing smoothly. there's nothing treasonist. i still fully don't understand what exactly is the offense that allegedly took place here given the fact that donald trump had not intended to attack china and this was a call that was approved by the acting secretary of defense. none of it makes any sense. but again, that's kind of par for the course when it comes to this particular presidential candidate. >> and you make a key point both with john kelly and general milley and everybody else spoken out from inside the administratio

. >> reporter: and in 2019 trump bragged to journalist bob woodward about building an ultra secret nuclear weapons system. >> i have built a weapons system that nobody's ever had in this country before. >> reporter: one former cia analyst says trump's recklessness with secrets endangers american lives and -- >> if our allies cannot trust the u.s. with information because the president or former president is willing to give it away for nothing, for bragging rights, other countries are going to see us as partners that they cannot trust and they're going to start reducing the amount of information they're going to give to us. >> reporter: former president trump has repeatedly denied mishandling sensitive information regarding the abc report on what he allegedly told the businessman about american submarine. they said that lacked proper context and that the former president did nothing wrong. that businessman, anthony pratt, has not responded to multiple requests for comment. wolf? >> brian todd reporting. thanks very much. for more on this important story i'm joined by donald trump's former n

and it reminded me, jake, you may remember, when we covered bob woodward's first book on trump "fear"d woodward tells the story of how trump's own lawyer, john dowd, said you can't go on the stand. if you testify, was the quote, you'll end up in an orange jump suit. and i remind everyone of that because one of things that the judge did in the gag order ruling was trump took the stand. he was under oath. and he said, oh, i was talking about michael cohen, not your clerk. the judge said, that wasn't credible. so just big picture, that was my takeaway from today's court appearance. >> and what does this tell you about what comes next in the trial. >> michael cohen is on the stand now and he's a very important witness. but there is a lot of evidence here that needs to be gone through. there are other witnesses from inside of the trump organization, there are financial documents, and so the point that the attorney general made there is this is a long trial, there is a lot of evidence and she made another really important point to keep in mind. the judge has already given what we call summa

there was a time he sat down for an interview with journalist bob woodward and ended up revealing thece of a secret u.s. nuclear program. and it was the now infamous moment where trump allegedly waved around a classified iran war plans, in front of -- biographer while demanding that someone bring him a coke. now, today, the new york times and abc news are reporting and yet another instance of trump giving way americas secrets. according to these new reports, after he left office, trump gave away yet more classified information about americas nuclear subs, this time, to an australian billionaire. the billionaire is a man named anthony pratt, who runs one of the world's largest cardboard companies and is a club member at mar-a-lago. according to this new reporting, trump -- pratt highly sensitive information that could endanger the u.s. nuclear fleet, including the supposed exact number of nuclear warheads usa marines routinely carry and exactly how close they supposedly can get to a russian submarine without being detected. according to sources who spoke with abc news, that australian

because we all talk about chuck todd, bob woodward and all these people. all they care about access in washington. they want to be part of the what's what's for progressive journalists like for you. because obviously you could talk to bernie's people, you can talk to aoc people, but what's it like, you know, you had joe manchin the show. what's that look like from your because i've always been curious and the second question is, in a state like new york, in a state like california, it's even like state like new jersey. this problem of the media markets are so expensive especially in california how you run a statewide race and have a progressive incumbent. i mean, gavin newsom climbed that ladder one by one. and, you know, him and nancy pelosi and feinstein, it's like they took years to get, you know, to achieve that return on investment, as you call it, to get the money to run statewide campaign. how is it even possible? it's not delaware. you can't go door to door. there's too many people. it's too expensive. so i want your thoughts on both of those thing
