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

>> one of the first things i remember, it was very early on after the break-in, bob woodward said do not let them ever take the story away from you. he knew from the beginning this was going right to the top, almost in the courtroom. bob and i were in the courtroom when the original burglars were arraigned and they had $100 bills with consecutive numbers and funny passports, and you said this is big, right away. >> i was just trying to get a date. >> that part did not work out for you, bob. >> oh, yes, it did. >> i think we will save that for the sequel >> what i remember and it haunts me. that is, how the republicans stood by him, nixon, and formed a little protection unit around him, almost up until the saturday night massacre. that is when the republican phalanx, they tried to protect him and they began to crumble. everything does lead to this moment in terms of that presidency. the other thing i remember is at various times we really did think that he was committing a coup d'itat. we thought he was going to send the military in and there was fear that he was going to destroy the d

joining me now is carl bernstein, he, of course, with bomb bob woodward well wrote the watergate scandal about that saga. bob, what do you know, carl, sorry -- carl, what do you think happens for this country if this court, which we all know is conservative leaning, which we all know donald trump appointed three justices on, what happens if they does have immunity? what president putin said? >> it sets the precedent that the president of the united states is above the law. the odds of that happening, given the nixon precedent, are somewhat dim. you would have to assume that this court, which actually has been quite unhappy and this is for us in some instances with the way that donald trump has railed against the judiciary, decided against him, ordered him to turn over. his tax returns have not been very favorable to him. i think that we can, perhaps, expect that this is going to be a judicial consideration based on the justices on the reading of the law and precedent. maybe an exception might be clarence thomas who probably ought to recuse himself, but probably won't. we don't know what

in his 15 book, the last of the president's men, bob woodward writes of a january 1972 memo that you wrote to president nixon, updating him on the military situation in laos. president nixon wrote a handwritten note on that same memo, which read kay, meaning kissinger. we have had ten years of total control in the air in laos and vietnam. the result equals zilch. there is something wrong with the strategy or the air force. and yet, the night before, in a cbs interview, dan rather, president nixon said of the bombing, the results have been very, very effective. i think their effectiveness will be demonstrated publicly. president nixon is saying the bombing is effective. privately to you, he's saying that they have done zilch. how do you account for that? he wasn't saying that. it's very one of the causes of my activism is that scrap of paper gets collected and then treated as if it were a legal document. here are the president's. they were 18 hours a day. they had constant and they write a note. their adviser in frustration that it's still going on. and nixon had a way of exaggerating
