>> i think it is, anderson, and i maybe could begin where carl bernstein left off. bribery, but it's not just bribery. you know, it would be soliciting a bribe if the president said to president zelensky, you know, if you do me a favor, maybe give me a few bucks, stay at the doral hotel, for example, i'll give you a signed copy of "the art of the deal" and let you take a photo opp with me. that's not what's going on. what's going on is our president is saying to president zelensky, you're under attack by russia with russian tanks. your people are dying, and i'll let that go on and hold off the aid that our congress has voted unless and until you go on tv and announce that you are investigating my opponent, joe biden, and his son, hunter with burisma. i mean that is an extraordinary thing. he's stealing taxpayers' money, using it as though it were his, basically dangling it and saying, i won't let you have it, even though you need it to survi survive, unless you help me win. so he is violating the separation of powers by usurping the power of the purse. he's not just

back with carl bernstein, gloria borger, jeff toobin. the fact that the president is talking about no quid pro quo time line makes no sense. the fact before he is in offices feeling pressure from giuliani and trump world. >> you know, what's so extraordinary about in story is that every single piece so far fits together. now, usually not the case. usually there is sort of weird stray facts. everything that's coming out suggests that the only interest root of jowlny or donald trump or anyone allied with him in ukraine was getting dirt on the political opponents and figuring out what happened in 2016 with the mysterious server. that's the only interest they had in ukraine. and every fact that has come out, whether it's from trump personally or through witnesses like taylor who had secondhand information, suggests the same thing. and this -- what rene's story gives us some sense of the origin of how early in the process in obsession with barisma and 2016 came up. >> gloria it's fascinating. you mention you got in president -- the guy who is

watergate investigations joins us now, richard ben-veniste, cnn political analyst and journalist carl bernsteintalk about the ambassador's testimony. how problematic do you think it could be for the white house and the potential testimony next week of ambassador sondland, who is a supporter of the president's? >> very consequential and i think we already know that. there's a whole series of witnesses who are really in a position to do the president great damage because they're telling the truth about what looks like a conspiracy involving the president of the united states to undermine our very basis of free elections in this country by engaging a foreign power to interfere with the opposition candidate facing the president of the united states. we've never had a situation where a foreign power has been called upon by the president of the united states, as it appears from his own words, trump's own words that we've seen he did this. now it's up to other witnesses to fill in more information and that's indeed what we saw the ambassador do today and we have many others coming. and also the whole

investigative journalist carl bernstein and also joining us douglas brinkley, historian.nk you both for being here. take a listen to pompeo two sundays ago with martha radditz before we knew he was on that call between president trump and the ukrainian president. >> the "wall street journal" reports that president trump pressed the president of ukraine eight times to work with rudy giuliani to investigate joe biden's son. what do you know about those conversations? >> so you just gave me a report about a -- whistle-blower complaint none of which i've seen. >> carl if there was nothing wrong with the call as president trump claims, that's not exactly the most honest answer to that question. >> i don't think mr. pompeo has been very honest throughout this episode. one of the real similarities to watergate, there are real differences, and i think trump's conduct as president is far worse than nixon's was in terms of his corruption. in terms of his contempt for the established practices of the presidency and the rule of law in this country. but what we see in both instances a

back with us, jeff toobin, maggie haberman, and carl bernstein.ie, do you have any explanation for the president's behavior on this? i mean the idea of -- i know there's the promise to get troops out. but we're talking about, you know, 50 to 100 u.s. special forces who are in that border region which was preventing this invasion that the president has now said he knew was going to come because they've been watching the troops massing on the border for quite some time. and then he sends 2,000 troops to saudi arabia. so it's not as if there's a big withdrawal of troops from the world there. >> no. and his argument in terms of the saudi arabia troops is he claims that saudi arabia is paying for it, which actually makes our troops mercenaries in ways we are unused to seeing this. i think a couple of things. a, according to every source i have, the president has always been very pliant in his phone conversations with erdogan. i think that was the case here as well. >> he got rolled by erdogan. >> pretty much based on the descriptions i've heard of this

maggie haberman and carl bernstein. political analysts there are times i wish i could have reversed what i said on camera. doesn't work that way. does -- does the white house really expect anyone to believe that mulvaney's reverse sell what he men to say? i mean he seems like he was sayingway he really thought. in fact was belligerent about it and told people to get over it. >> he was asked the question several times. it's hard to suggest he didn't understand. i don't know whether he meant to go that far. he certainly want expected to go that far by people in the white house who knew he was talking about the ukraine related issues. but the nobody expected yes some version of a quid pro quo. the white house knows they have a problem with this. they are trying to turn the page as fast as possible and tell all of us that you know he didn't really say what he said, tell us that the president is not angry which actually just based on my reporting i think the president is not as focused as people think he is. >> on the mulvan

. >> nixon went after "the washington post," whose reporters bob woodward and carl bernstein led watergateon hated the press because it was digging into the very story he was desperate to hide, that the white house was deeply involved in the watergate cover-up. his campaign seemed to work. early in his second term, nixon's approval rating soared. but then came the first crack in the white house defense. in the summer of 1973, all of america was riveted by the senate watergate hearings. >> what did the president know, and when did he know it? >> as the country watched, white house counsel john dean turned on his president. >> i began by telling the president that there was a cancer growing on the presidency. >> dean testified that the watergate burglars were blackmailing white house aides. >> the white house was now being directly subject to blackmail, and i didn't know how to handle it. i told him i could only make an estimate that it might be as high as $1 million or more. he told me that that was no problem. >> it was john dean's word against the president of the united states. >> i have

. >> john, not a week goes by we don't quote carl bernstein for having said republicans were the hero of watergate. do you think we're seeing a plot line change in real time now that may result in us someday hearing that the insider who is chose to step forward and speak were perhaps the heroes of this story wherever it takes us? >> i certainly we're moving in that direction, brian, in terms of getting to the truth of what happened inside this administration, what happened outside the administration in terms of rudy giuliani, the president's lawyer, in terms of the ukrainians who were -- american -- ukrainian born americans who were aest ared yesterday. what we've got is a situation now where people who doesn't want the white house to talk are going to capitol hill. we saw the white house counsel's letter saying the administration is not going to participate in this. yet we have the former ambassador to the ukraine testifying. we have gordon sondland next week supposedly ready to testify. this is not going to hold. more and more people are going to talk. there are people who are no lo

. >> following that very crisis your fellow author carl bernstein has always said republicans were the heroes of watergate. do you see it possible the same dynamic could emerge in our time? >> i think the question right now when you think about the nixon impeachment was that at the beginning only 19% thought he should be impeached and then gradually that number increased as events over shadowed what was happening? at first nixon was saying i had nothing to do with it. i don't know the plumbers. then you finally have the events. you have the john dean testimony. you have the people inside the administration being sent as we know with haldeman and erlichman and mitchell into indictments. then you have of course the tapes. i mean, the tapes were the smoking gun. by that time republicans had to respond to events so the question will be how will these hearings educate the country? how will they make the country understand if this person is above the law what that means? >> doris kearns goodwin has agreed to stay with us over this break. a big question for her on the other side of this break

just for perspective, because i heard carl bernstein say it today.u see all of this coming out, what is coming together? he raised the prospect that he thinks what we're seeing play out is it looks like a conspiracy led by the president of the united states, which is a very serious charge, of course. do you agree? >> it is a serious accusation. and when you read the text messages, certainly they do have a bit of a conspiratorial flare, especially that one where somebody says, wait a second, it looks like we'reholding aid to a fledgling kuchblt i tell my kids not to put things in text messages. now that it's in the forefront, it's not the first time this has happened. with china there is a process in place. people around him were helping keep this behavior undercover with the password-protected device. it's all -- >> these are legal questions, and there are legal questions. it is a political process, though, that continues to play out. all of the focus not only on the president, now back to capitol hill. the inspector general of the intelligence commu
