when you stop and think, rosemary woods, his secretary, never knew about the tapes. henry kissinger, as close as henry was, never knew about the tapes. john ehrlichman never knew about the tapes. >> two people told me about it before it became public. i called bradley at home at 9:00 on a saturday night i believe and said nixon taped himself. what should we do? and ben said, i wouldn't bust one on it. and it's kind of a b-plus story. i thought, okay. the boss says b-plus. i won't work on it. i took sunday off and monday they called butterfield. i remember, ben came by and knocked on my desk and said, okay, it's better than a b-plus. >> from that point on, of course, it's a fight for the tapes because they answer the questions. am i telling the truth? is the president telling the truth? what else happened? you know. the prosecutors immediately subpoenaed the tapes. the senate subpoenas them. so nixon is early advised to destroy the tapes. dad promised he would teach me how to surf on our trip. when you book a flight then add a hotel you can save. 3 waves later, i thin

rosemary woods represents really the majority of women at that time. you could be a nurse. you could be a teacher. you could be a secretary, or you could be a housewife. those were your choices. i was a very early professional and there we were head to head combat basically. >> ms. woods said it was a mistake. a record button hit accidentally while she took a phone call. >> she described that she pushed the wrong button. instead of pushing stop, she had pushed record. she also had to keep her foot on the pedal. >> mrs. woods used the machine to show how it happened. >> when i asked her to demonstrate, she pushed the button, kept her foot on and she supposedly reached back about six feet to get the telephone. her foot came off the pedal just with the mere movement. there was no way it was believable. >> the white house contention that the talk between the president and haldeman was accidently erased would give more ammunition to the president's critics. >> to hear something that was so obviously untrue changed a lot of the american public's view of the whole situation. >> ro

is every disturbed as else who is intelligent, when you look at five months, this is the great rosemary woods, right? that was 18 minutes. this is 50,000 texts. that is disturbing. he got more than five hundred thousand dollars essentially from hillary clinton, agassi investigating hillary clinton -- and is he investigating hillary clinton? i keep out of it. -- he is theik mayor. it is one of those things. >> did you ask him who he voted for? trump: how much of the money did he spend in the campaign? who did you vote for? [laughter] trump: i think that is an unimportant question. >> do you think robert mueller will be fair to you? what wet trump: here is will say. no collusion. there is no collusion. here's the thing. define collusion? trump: i could not have cared less about russians having to do with my campaign. you always say hillary was a bad candidate, but you never say i was a good candidate. but i was a great candidate. goodbye, everybody. announcer: c-span, where history unfolds daily. in 1979, c-span was created as a public service by america's cable television companies, and is bro

when you look at five months, this is the late great rosemary woods, right? with a step, right? this is a large-scale version. >> what did you think about that? >> he's disturbed and so is the general. this is after all the news that came out that mueller interviewed such and such. this is another smoke screen in order to damage that credibility of the mueller investigation and damage the credibility of the men and women of the fbi. >> look over here, look over here? focus on this. >> they just want to damage the credibility of the investigation. it's very -- the timing is amazing for this alleged secret society. thankfully, he didn't know about the secret society within the secret society. that's for another day. >> brooke? >> go ahead, chris. >> can i add one thing here? >> mees. >> this is the president of the united states simply saying that, again, let me repeat, a piece of a texas taken out of context and a report from a senator that someone had told him the fbi has off-site meetings is the equivalent to rosemary woods, nixon's personal secretary accidentally deleting 18 m

rosemary woods. a lot of people say who is that?hat was nixz nixon's secretary and it's talking about the gap in the tapes. he is constantly trying to play to advantage, right? that's what he's doing. with mccabe, he's grossly out of context about the money his wife got. mccabe never got any money. his wife got money from mcauliffe and some democratic organizations. it happened over a year before he was even in the position, let alone involved with clinton. but that's where his head is. i'm really worried about the fbi. it looks really bad. so is the general. how do those types of tactics introduce risk for him as an inrview subjectn this type of setting? >> tre no way you can divert this conversation by throwing out chaff on things like andy mccabe. i don't think anybody, including director mueller, my former boss, is going to use the word "collusion." they won't ask the president about collusion. they will not give him an opportunity to say there's no collusion here. that's all a myth. >> he'll say it anyway. i'll bet you lunch on

when you look at five months, this is the great rosemary woods, right?on. that was 18 minutes, this is five. they say it is 50,000 text messages and it is prime time. that is disturbing. this isn't the first time the president has made comparisons with watergate. however, in the last hour thejustice department inspector general said his office has "succeeded in using forensic tools to recover text messages from fbi devices". i have been putting some of this story to the virginia democrat don beyer the president said he is eager to sit down with robert mueller and the investigation, is this nearing the end? is it leading somewhere?m investigation, is this nearing the end? is it leading somewhere? it is leading somewhere. whitewater went on for ever and benghazi, which was about nothing, went on for years. i think mueller will act more quickly. he doesn't have a political agenda. i think what most americans want is just for the truth to come out, whatever it is. what do you make of the criticism of the fbi at the moment and it seems to have heated up momen

when you look at five months -- this is the late great rosemary woods with a step, right?e version. >>> here to debate ana navarro and mark water. mark, let me begin with you. it was a remarkable important interview. they covered a lot of ground. but the evidence that raj shah is pointing to to say there should be no question almost as if the president has never equivocated on russia and meddling in the election and how it talks about russian president vladimir putin. we just heard last week, he was asked, do you trust the fbi and he said we'll see. what do you make of the white house argument? >> i think we're talking about two separate issues. i can go back all the way back to the very first news conference the president trump had early in his term. it was in the east room if i recall where he said he believed that russia and other actors possibly had attempted to meddle in the election. the question is did it change the outcome, no. the other question is was there any collusion -- >> mark, mark, it's not -- marc they have not been investigating and they have never said

when you look at five months, this is leap great rosemary woods. 18 minutes. this is five months.y say it is 50,000 texts and it is prime time. >> referencing nixon secretary. 50,000 missing text messages, this is the total number of text messages that the general department has reviewed on servers. the missing text messages number is unknown. >> reporter: a technical glitch results in thousands of fbi phones. that affected 10% of the fbi phones according to this law enforcement official. this has seemed to satisfy some on capitol hill including richard burr who believes the fbi's explanation. other republicans are pushing back demanding more information sending letters saying there may have been something suspicious going on. this comes as a number of republicans are seizing on the text messages themselves including one that occurred right after election days where the two fbi agents were do discussing a quote secret society. ron johnson told me he spoke to an informant who said this group was trying to meet off site to discuss various issues. he said he wanted to dig further to

i want to make one reference to rosemary woods because as the prosecutor who questioned her, i want to point out, there was a deliberate e rairase yur of 18 minutes. there was not something that happened because of a switch from iphones to samsung. this was 8 separate eraseures we know that for sure. this was an accident that affected many agos and it's despicab despicable that the president is demeaning the fbi who are hardworking serious people who take their job seriously and seek to do justice and get the facts out regardless of their own perspective. so i'm sad that's happening. >> tim, since you know trump better than anyone here, i want to go back to this issue of trump's lawyers trying to to prepare him for what he's really in for here. did you hear in the president's manner tonight or his tone anything that indicates he understands thate seriousness o what he's involved? >> no, i don't think he understands it at all, lawrence. there's a freight train headed towards him right now. when you prepare a witness to sit down with someone like bob mueller, you have binders full of doc

when you look at five months, this is the late great rosemary woods, right? with a step, right? this is a large-scale version. >> equating this to watergate. >> the missing 18 minutes. >> the missing 18 minutes. this is obviously not. the president saying he's very disturbed. i can see a president being upset by what we've seen factually in those text messages. they don't reflect well on the investigation. but the idea that this is bigger than watergate, which seems to be his suggestion there. not to mention the fact that the inspector general of the department of justice came forward today and says we have managed to get them. the idea that the president's own department of justice was trying to hide something from him, it just shows a level of suspicion that really boggles the mind. one would think a president would say -- and we have heard republicans who work for the department of justice say they're doing everything they can. they want to get to the bottom of this. they're trying to recover these text messages. but the suggestion -- first of all, he has been factually inacc

when you look at five months, this is rosemary woods, step. this is a large scale version. that was 18 month, this is five months. they say it's 50,000 texts. and it's prime time. that's disturbing. good-bye, everybody. >> should mccabe go? >> he got more than $500,000 from essentially hillary clinton and is he investigating hillary clinton? >> should he go? >> did anybody here, many of my speeches, where i talked about mccabe, he was the star of my speech. this is a map. and i said a man who was more or less in charge of her got the wife got $500,000. from 30. 30 is hillary. >> do you regret having him as your acting fbi director then? >> i keep out of it. you find that hard to believe. i find that hard to believe. that's the way it fell. he's there. it's one of those things, but he was the star of many of my speeches. he got from five to 700,000, whatever the number was. got that money for the wife. and you know, in virginia, in virginia, wait. in virginia, you don't have to spend the money. so i never check ed as to whethr or not they spend the money on the campaign. how
