in washington, this is secret. who is this guy? for a secret in washington to have been intact for as long as this is quite remarkable. it's quite something. the throat barred its name from a couple of sources. he met woodward on what he called deep -- the throw would give him some information but he couldn't quote the source, it was all supposedly on the background. at the time, or just before, a controversial pornographic film came out with the title the throat. anyway, the name deep throat, the source, the identity, was a fascinating topic in washington. over the years, a variety of sources, a variety of names were offered up as two potential candidates. who is deep throat? take a look at this list. henry kissinger, the u.s. secretary of state. l patrick gray, the former acting director of the fbi. diane sewer, who worked for a while before going to network television in the nixon white house. john dean, who was nixon's counsel. pat buchanan, and nixon aide who later ran for president three times. he sought and failed to win the

but george washington, whether or not george washington couldn't tell a lie, he could not tell a joke. [laughter] and he couldn't village look, or maybe it's just that he wouldn't elegiac. nor would he laugh at asia, have jokes. this in part because he presented himself to the wall that is very sober minded, serious character. as a young man, he got a hold of this list of sort of maxims and principles of life for a young man. something like 110 of them. and one of them said, laugh seldom and never in distinguished company. he wrote this down. and these were words that he came to live by. now, i really don't know if in his private life, george washington -- now, i don't think it told jokes. he might have left at jokes. but in his public life, he certainly did not. and people would try to warn him up. there's a story that is told on good authority about george washington at the constitutional convention. this is before he's president. he's actually president of the convention. and he is this austere figure, he is the commander of the continental army, he is the one who won the revolutio

>> afternoon everyone, welcome to the washington post for this event. years ago today good afternoon, everyone. welcome to the washington post for this very special event. 11 years ago today, a break-in took place at the democratic national committee headquarters in the watergate building, just two miles from here. the white house press secretary at the time refer to the incident as nothing more than, quote, a third rate burglary. that may have been how history would have recorded it but for the reporting of two men who are about to take the stage. a former publisher of the washington post, phil graham, once said that journalism is the first rough draft of history. bob woodward and carl bernstein wrote their first draft of this story and then a second. under the guidance of legendary editor ben bradley, whose wife sally is here with us today, and the support of the publisher catherine graham, whose son don is here with us today, they exposed a tale of cover-up, corruption at the highest levels of government. the totality of their work changed journalism

in the darkness of washington. quite beautiful. host: if daniel chester french is somebody you're intrigued by, monument man, the author of the book is carol holzer. up next, good morning. caller: good morning. two points, my wife who died a while ago, used to work for the department of interior and i know they use to -- i don't know if they still do -- give tours into the monument underground, to other recesses but typically would not be apparent and the other point just last week i was listening to testimony by deb haaland about the atrocities that have happened to the indigenous people here and it should be duly noted and recognized that it was under lincoln that i think the largest mass execution of people were done, so we just have to be able to tell all of the history. guest: i agree. i would love to talk about both of those things. first, i think the caller is referring to what people call the under croft of the lincoln memorial. the memorial itself is 99 feet high. the undergirding, the basement, call it the under croft, is

together we provided an example for how washington can and should work. we got out of our comfort zones, we built broad coalitions with unlikely allies, and we refused to demonize each other when things got tough. and i sincerely thank senator chris murphy for his passion, senator john cornyn for his leadership, and senator thom tillis for his pragmatism. each of my friends and colleagues brought a unique perspective and expertise that allowed us together to craft the most holistic approach to community violence in nearly 30 years. i also want to thank all of our staffs, especially my legislative director, michael brownley, and my counsel chris voisten, for their tireless hours, including working straight through father's day, to get this bill right. you know, their efforts will save lives, help families across our country feel more secure, and make our schools safer. i promised arizonans that i would be an independent leader for our state and that i would ignore the chaos of washington and instead just focus on getting things done. it won't surprise anyo

washington posts reporting. in the next hour will discuss and examine how the heroic journalist journalist myth of watergate took hold. and why i in the next hour, we will discuss and examine how the heroic journalist myth of watergate took hold, and why -- we will also discuss some of the principles of the washington post. the principles of the post at the time of the watergate scandal, and what they've had to say about this interpretation of watergate. and we will consider why it matters. we will consider the so what question. white debunking this myth matters. along the way, we will have some time for q&a. here are a few names that we will encounter during our class today. carl bernstein and bob woodward, these were reporters for the washington post, the lead reporters on the watergate scandal. and they teamed up in 1972 and worked together through the scandal in 1974. together, they wrote two books about the watergate scandal. catherine graham is another name you will encounter. she was the post publisher du

well, it seems to me that one of the things that we mentioned about martha washington. and again, we'll lead us into dolly is the concept of soft power and i am a pseudo historian. i'm really trained as a political scientist. so we like to think in terms of power and how power is used and defining power and typically political scientists and others. will define soft power as diplomatic power diplomacy cultural exchanges, and we know that first ladies certainly have excelled at that. so let's think in those terms in lynn. let's turn to dolly in that you called it catherine when we were first talking this unofficial role because again, this is a position that that is given to this woman. who's the spouse of the president simply because she's the spouse of the president. yeah, and i mean i at some point somebody's going to ask the very rude question. why should we care about first lady and one of the things is that by studying first ladies the same way studying women their words their work their lives. we learn things we would not have known about and it cannot just be a r

washington posts reporting. in the next hour will discuss and examine how the heroic journalist journalist myth of watergate took hold. and why it is so tenacious. but also discuss what some of the principles of the washington post? principles that the post at the time of the watergate scandal have had to say about this interpretation of watergate. and will consider why it matters we'll consider the so what question. why debunking this myth? matters along the way we'll have some time for q&a. here are a few names that will encounter. during our class today. bob woodward and carl bernstein these are these were reporters for the washington post the lead reporters on the watergate scandal for the post. and they teamed up in 1972 and were together through the scandal in 1974. together they wrote two books about the watergate scandal. catherine graham is another name that will encounter she was the posts publisher. during the watergate period the post then was a family-owned newspaper. and she was publisher from 1969

so she gets to washington in 1890 and 1890 washington was gilded age booming. it was a really interesting place to reinvent yourself if that's what you wanted to do, and she did so she didn't have any money, but she had social status and she had enough of a sort of veneer of sophistication that she was at the opera all the time and she met interesting people and she learned to be fashionable and she became what she thought she wanted to be and she ended up marrying a man named norman galt her sister. her sister's husband's cousin picture, please. this picture is from this time period i love this picture because she's so confident. she's so beautiful. she's so just owning who she is and i think of and this is from the 1890s. this is edith becoming herself getting out of her little appalachian town and becoming herself on her own. to a large degree as mary said if she were a man this would be a very different story including the up by your bootstraps, you know american dream that she would have been given credit for if she were a man so she's shown that she can g

washington. that was not something that could have happened just anywhere in washington d. c.. and so, that space that first ladies and first families in general have provided for gathering americans across the political divide has been a crucial part of it. i think that's why in historical, historian -- in solidarity with dr. allgor there -- the officials fear it is such an important term rather than -- i know, political science and soft power -- but the unofficial sphere is integral to what the first lady has always done, even down to today. so changes, well there are many changes in and we can talk more about these, but it has to do with the growth of gender expectations, the growth of women's activity in the world as we move through the century of civil war, it makes changes. women's war work. and then as we get toward the gilded age and moving into the progressive era, the sort of work that women do in the world to move out of their domestic sphere, which was the socially dictated acceptable place for women to be. >> just education. >> yes. yes, carry on. there's a million

miller goes to washington. he is the stories i told to them. uncle jim met me at the union station is like i got off my train when i told him that my civics class wanted me to make a report he walked my legs off showing me how the federal government works we started out right at the plaza in of the station. the first thing he showed me from the station was capitol hill the seat of our federal government. federal agencies are scattered all over the united states, but washington is a center of all national government activity. uncle jim thought we'd better start with a library of congress it's the biggest and most important library in american set up originally for senators and representatives, but open to all the people. here are most of the important documents and records of the government and copies of most books and magazines published in the united states. but the one thing we wanted to see was in a glass case near the front of the building. the foundation of all the powers and laws of our government. we couldn't really have a form of govern

all right, michael. im in washington d. c. let me go 1st. i want to ask all 3 of you the same question? do we have any reversible split with in russia, west relations? go ahead. michael in washington. yeah. yeah, period, i think we do. i and i think it is something that the united states brought on itself in the west for that matter. but at the urging and pushing of the united states, typically the by the minute administration and the nic neoconservative sewer in it, like victoria newland. this is an effort and a purposeful effort by them to contain and ultimately have regime change in russia . and i think that this was the catalyst for a mr. potent to say ok, enough's enough because the united states just pushed moscow to its own limits and, and, and in so doing push the, the european countries to, to follow suit reluctantly. they, they did an already were stand splits there, but this is, this is something where moscow now is looking to creation of a new multi polar world order, as i see it along with russia along with china rather. and ira
