and that he says you know we were staff in the house judiciary committee and woodward does not follow up on either one. so we did not learn about the secret meetings until they became available to me in 2013 we will start with the first one. this is a letter, i know you can't read it but that is okay. this is a letter, to judge sirica and up in the upper left corner, not quite, right below the handwriting, that would be my handwriting, it says it is phil, that means phil drafted the letter, and his secretary typed it, that is not a jaworski letter, we are not even sure that jaworski signed it because it is dissipated , it was dated december 27 and he was not there. he read the line, when i met with you and judge to your request on friday, december 14, the four top watergate prosecutors meeting with the two judges who were going to do the watergate trials, what is going on. they can say anything they want, this isn't a casual hallway conversation this is a formal sitdown. jaworski has been special prosecutor for a month. so, sirica calls him then, three days before this meeting, the me

woodward could have known. i showed you his notes. it is embarrassing. this all could've come out along time ago when i was young man. this is bob bork he writes a book called saving justice. it is published in 2013 and published right after he died. he talks about what it was like to be solicitor general and what it was like to survive the saturday night massacre. i was reading it yesterday. i wanted to redo the whole book because his take is so different from what you were told. i argued the stats on empowerment, the issue of impoundment and got my head handed to me. richard nixon was president. as i slowly realized the unspoken rule that nixon was not going to win any cases and that's not to say the office of the presidency did not win, but the closer any case got to richard nixon the person the quick it was rejected. this is the solicitor general saying the courts are biased against nixon's also. he goes on to talk about what it was like to be acting attorney general. he really wasn't very friendly. he was not at going or meeting me halfway. througho

now, woodward could have known. i showed you his notes. it's embarrassing. but he could have -- this all could have come out a long time ago when i was a young man. okay. this is bob bourque. bob bourque comes into the saturday night massacre, okay. he writes a book called saving justice, watergate, saturday night massacre and other adventures of a solicitor general. it's published any 2013. it's published posthumously write after he dies. and he talks about what it was like to be solicitor generalard what it was like to survive the saturday night massacre. i was reading it yesterday. i wanted to -- i mean, i read it before. i wanted to read you the whole book because his take is so different from what you were told. here's what hes is as sg. i argued the statutory case on the issue of impoundment and got my hat handed to me. court was very unfriendly to impoundment, particularly because richard nixon was president. as i slowly realized, the unspoken rule was that nixon was not going to win any cases. that's not to say the office of the presidency didn't win

woodward and bernstein talk to a lot of. people.es woodward talk to mark felt, yes, and he also talked to sandy smith at the time magazine and maybe some others. but woodward and bernstein were knocking on a lot of doors, they had multiple multiple sources. so this is not by any means purely in fbi thing. the best book is called leak by max holland. he wrote a book about felt and about -- max holland really got into this question so i would recommend if you want to know happened, i found that to be the most useful book on how watergate -- it is a big topic in woodward and steen played a critical role but there were many others involved. host: nick is checking to see a book to be covered thatno book d we will let you know i and then you can watch leak on a website at booktv.org. you talk about that being the best book in your view on the topic and some your favorite books include herman walk who just passed, 101 years old, robert penn worn, all the a kins men, john eaton, is he a friend of yours? guest: he is a close friend of mine.

with the woodward street folks. [please stand by] this project will be subject to that new legislation because the permit has been issued by the time he goes into effect. thank you commissioners, i appreciate your consideration. i'm here for questions. >> thank you. >> we will open the side of public comment. anyone who wants to provide any public comment. please come up. >> good afternoon commissioners. when we were last here we were sent away to work with project sponsor to reach an agreement, which we took very seriously. i reach out to mr. n-uppercase-letter that following day, and left a voicemail, did not hear back. i reach out again the following monday and left another voicemail, and no reply. when i did not receive a reply to either of my voicemails acknowledging my calls, i reached out by e-mail, that following tuesday with no response ever received. this is the first time that i am hearing that this is going to bn behalf of 16 community groups and the commission knows this

you mentioned he was brought down by woodward and bernstein. don't we know it was mark fells and the fbi who fed them the information. [indiscernible] >> like what the fbi has tried to do to trump wax certainly true - - >> that mark felt was dubbed deep throat by mark woodward. woodward and bernstein went around and they talked to a whole lot of people. mark also talked to sandy smith of "time magazine" primarily. but woodward and bernstein were knocking on a lot of doors. multiple sources. so this is not by any means, purely an fbi thing. the best book on this is called, leak. by max call him. he wrote the book about felt. he really got into this question. i would recommend, if you want to know kind of what really happens, i found that to be the most useful book. >> i know our producer nick is checking to see if booktv covered that book and we will let you know and then you can watch leaked on our website at booktv.org. you talked about that being the best book in your view on that topic.some of your favorite books include - - just passed. 101

i had sam woodward here.at past me, i would have said don't do it. >> in january of 2018, samuel woodward stabbed to death a 19-year-old jewish college student. >> don't do it why? >> because you are worth far more. >> what about the person's life who was lost? >> i'm not too concerned about it. i'm not too concerned. >> but knowing there are people like that that are reading your book and living out word for word. >> if you have got to do it, make it worthwhile. >> so somebody like james alex fields who drove his car into a group of people and murdered a woman, you wouldn't condone that. >> that had to be done. there should have been more. i think somebody should have opened up on that crowd of communists down there and just lay them waste. >> oh, my god! >> he should have accounted for 50 or more. now he's doing life for one confused, lost and confused white girl who got turned against her own people. >> well, i know heather's mother. she lost her daughter who was at the peak of her life. >> she was victimi

because the president was complaining about bob woodward's book. why didn't you talk to me?ur other aides, but i didn't speak to madeleine. >> this is to me just a reminder that anyone in the orbit of donald trump whose last name is not also trump may eventually fall out of orbit and probably will fall out of orbit. the turnover has been unprecedented and i think that is just the basic as michael cohen i think demonstrated. kind of the story of his life and career is that this is a president, this is a person who views loyalty largely as a one-way street. and that eventually everybody runs afoul of that and the cast of characters is forever rotating unless your last name is trump. >> madeleine, 28 years old. you knew her before she went to work for the president at the white house. >> i think when you look at the idea of the gate keeper of the president and administrations having any interaction with report reporters, it's almost asinine. she had contact with reporters because of being at the -- the interesting element is president trump almost always has someone like this.

everyone coming into the santa clara county fair will go through a wandering process, as they come in woodward result in longer weights at the gates. >> it was a long wait but like i said, we are happy that way because we feel safe. >> i feel sad but different times, you have to do that. >> reporter: today's grand opening celebrates affairs a 75th anniversary. but it comes just four days after the gilroy garlic festival shootings. officials say they clearly came up with a new security plan, that greatly increases the number of officers fairgoers will see and penny they won't. >> we have done everything we could possibly do to make sure that everyone at the fair is safe. >> reporter: teams of well armed officers are on foot, motorcycles, atvs, and golf carts, they are patrolling the outside perimeter is, and contract security guards are posted around offenses. >> there's quite a few security, i think it is good. >> reporter: the sheriff acknowledges the difficulty of securing the whole 157 acre site. >> it is very difficult to secure something 100% when it is in an outdoor area. >> reporter: in

i mean this goes back a long way more than 70 years to the 2nd world war because during the 2nd woodward japan had colonial rule over the korean peninsula during that time it used south koreans for forced labor so last year a south korean court ruled that. japanese companies that was that had benefited from that at the time and it was still in existence now should start paying compensation to the south koreans affected now to pan feels that that issue was settled a long time ago back in 1965 when they signed a treaty normalizing relations and so japanese companies have been refusing to pay this compensation as a result of that we've had trade tensions building they boiled over really a month ago when japan started to impose restrictions on certain items going from japan to south korea in response to that we saw protests in south korea and south koreans stopped buying certain japanese goods it's escalated very quickly and then we reach these latest restrictions so real chain reaction going way back up tell us about this latest step that your pen has taken by taking south korea off its lis

the author of "fear, trump in the white house" bob woodward joins us.blic affairs at the university of texas,s msnbc contributor victoria defrancesco soto. federal prosecutors are treating the el paso mass shooting inside the walmart as a case of domestic terrorism. the u.s. attorney says his office is investigating the 21-year-old white male suspect for hate crime charges and firearms charges which carry a penalty of death. the el paso district attorney also says his office will seek the death penalty. officials say the suspect drove about ten hours to get to the el paso walmart that was packed with back to school shoppers on saturday morning and opened fire, killing 20 people and wounding 26 more. the el paso police chief says the suspect surrendered without incident and he's speaking freely and he's been forthcoming with information. about 20 minutes before the shooting in el paso took place, a hate-filled diatribe appeared online believed to be linked to the shooter. the unsigned essay was posted on an extremist website and said the attack was motiv

this one's stunning, this is from bob woodward's book about the first term of president trump. in the wake of bashar al assad using chemical weapons against his own people, trump said to jim mattis, at the time again the former defense secretary. we need to kill him, we need to assassinate bashar al assad. we don't usually do that as a country. >> let's go to the last one. we know this, this happened. jim comey testified in front of congress. a former fbi director, comey said in a private meeting, trump urged him to see if he could drop this investigation into michael flynn in this context with the russians. again not something that comey felt comfortable doing. >> you mentioned pardons, how trump has floated them dangled them. 15 trump 35rdens. these three, we didn't put them all on the screen. look at these three. these three are all very conservative caused pardons. all people that trump's base really liked and wanted pardons, and he did it. there's some precedent for this. even if he doesn't say i'll pardon you, he could say, look at who i pardoned in the past, dot dot dot,

christine woodward is joining me now, the ohio chapter leader of moms demand action. christine, thank you very much for coming on. i said a quick hello to you in dayton yesterday. it's my honor to have you on. this weekend's shootings became the 15th and 16th shootings in 2019 involving the deaths of four or more people. why do you think these events -- why this time might this muput more pressure on leader mcconnell to do something? >> i just think, brooke, it's an accumulation of these events on top of one another and people have had it. moms demand action has been on the ground working on this issue for five years. we built an infrastructure and the tools that people can use. so this time when these events happened, there's something for people to reach out to. there's somewhere for them to go. we can bring them into our organization and put them to work tomorrow, today on gun violence prevention. i think that amplifies all of our voices. >> it seems that in the aftermath of any of these tragedies, you know, the calls to write elected officials grows louder. what d

you know, obviously the wood would -- woodward street neighbors were a big part of the folks that came last time. i do think this is a better project than the first time it came in front of us. thank you for the efforts. >> very good commissioners. there is a motion that has been seconded to approve this matter with conditions as amended to include a condition prohibiting corporate housing. on that motion.

ingredients of a classic family of a mission the sense that it's telling a story which needs to woodward it has more to put it is you know it's not just of our billing and. it's a lot to do with a man his belief his love for the country it's a vote in the mindset of atsic to. be a god in a box and you don't need video. so i mean that inspiration coming from of a small town and achieving what they've achieved. i think that nobody lucky to get if it make this because otherwise you would get a film which is very. where you play and. sing and that's not how i saw myself. in most of the bad in india it's like you should stay at home you should instead you should do household chores and you should not go out. and get the opportunity to even go outside and study. was very happy and then you see you had a politician thing that she went out at 7 pm 7 pm in the evening so it's ok today the boys are being boys but how mentality like that that was very common stop. then have to change to be that big but i would say it's not just the men i think it's anyone who was a bit patriarchal thinking and even

with thes has been presidential recording program since 2000, called by bob ward war -- woodward one of the foremost experts on presidential recordings. you're going to draw more parallels between those politica -- between the political chicanery of the past and today. >> the nixon administration comes and goes in waves. when things are going well in america, i don't get many phone calls from reporters. when things aren't going well, i get many calls. these days, you can guess i get a lot. most recently with the release of the mueller report, the questions of a president encouraging aides to perjure themselves, and engaging in obstruction of justice to fort an investigation of -- thw art it was interesting to see the harding's -- pardons. it was so different than the way that nixon did it. tom talked about how unfair the treatment of -- trump talked about how unfair the treatment of manafort was. he said the president would look to see if anybody was treated unfairly and he might get a parting. -- pardon. robert mueller said obstruction not usually taking place in public. encourages

ken hughes has been with the presidential recording program since 2000, called by bob ward -- woodward one of the foremost experts on presidential -- on the secret presidential recordings. you're going to draw more parallels between the political chicanery of the past and today. >> interesting, the nixon administration comes and goes. when things are going well, i do not get phone calls for recordings. when things are not going well, i get many calls from reporters. i get a lot of attention these days. most recently within the release of the mueller report, the questions of a president encouraging aides to perjure themselves and engaging in came upion of justice once again. it was particularly interesting to me to see the analysis of trump's attempt to dangle pardons over the heads of aides like paul manafort because it was so different than the way nixon did it. trump talked about how unfair the treatment of manafort was. he said the president would look to see if anybody was treated unfairly and he might get a pardon. robert mueller said obstruction of justice is not usually taking p

woodward wilson 610 to 11th. he is gone for 26 to 32. in grover cleveland, 17 to 23. i'm sure historians will have perspective on some of the things our society has changed of why the historians are not looking at them or clinically. >> dwight eisenhower, when we first did the survey in 2000, now he's a fifth. bill clinton the first survey was just coming out of the impeachment process, 21st place in the next he settling at 13th position. finally this is interesting, from 33rd place to 22nd one of the things that we found over the course of time is the big biographies the become big bestsellers. they influence and use the historians have as presidents and they've had a couple of those in recent years. the top five overall will not be any surprises, dwight eisenhower and fifth position, theodore roosevelt and forth, frequent roosevelt and third in george washington and second-place and guess who is number one, abraham lincoln. in the bottom five, john tyler, he went on to join the confederate congress after he left the white house, the man without a party why he was in

but listen to the president talking to bob woodward about her as a gate keeper for him. >> i got a messageou ask about speaking to me? >> well, about six people. >> well, if you would call madeleine in my office, did you speak to madeleine? >> no. >> madeleine is the key. >> i talked to rog with it, i talked to kellyanne. >> i don't mind talking to you. i would have spoken to you. >> so politico reported today that westerhout had been trying to expand that role, expand her position a bit, kind of branch out and see what else she could take on in this position that she had, sitting right outside the oval office. that seems to have irked some other white house advisers, they didn't like that she was trying to expand her role. as we hinted earlier, it could have been some internal politics at play. >> which is not the first time for this white house either and we've seen it in the past as well. >> this white house, it's much more out there but it's not the first time that there is more to the story in any white house and in any political situation. okay, everybody, thank you so much for joini

teresa woodward was the director who gave her the job. >> i took her over to the vice president's office to get her key. it's a very prestigious thing to be honored, to be respected, to be trusted to have a key to a whole building, and michelle was so excited. >> reporter: it was literally and figuratively the key to her future. >> she was so elated that she had a job that was a career. she said, i'm going to the doctor and i'm not even sick, but i have insurance for once in my life. >> reporter: but on the very day michelle was set to start her life-changing position -- >> i got a phone call that said that michelle had died. i said, no. >> reporter: o'connell's brother and sister say the family's grief turned to frustration once they realized the sherriff's department spent just a few hours at the scene before calling michelle's death a suicide. >> i mean, the word suicide was thrown around right off the bat without any investigation. >> and i screamed and yelled at the top of my lungs, we want an outside investigation. >> reporter: but two days later, the medical examiner, dr. frederic

the companies have another woodward reforestation. bay planting cash crops like rubber and acacia. we follow the trial of grazing trees cut down from for a long forest ended up this primed. with chairman think biotech is luci chang he says he can do what he wants as governments cross that concession in my area i must create a whole even my competition because nice. must be created then we planned of tree. as this area we cannot. do you clear timber outside of the concessions. no we spoke to a villager said he was told that if. the company couldn't buy the trees they would take them anyway just that happened. and they moved. the for the beach by jazz a text from my concession. clued me it's protected timber might end up in he saw him and applying any by lation on unscrupulous contractors he can't explain why big coordinated logging convoys traveling at night why do they travel at night time. they travel in 1000 yes. you surely i know when they chirp that they. the company chairman claims he's supporting poor local communities offering jobs to clear the forest so that something else

and there's no evidence they reflected back on james garfield being on his deathbed for 80 days or woodward wilson and mr. craig but i wondered who was in the back of their minds, the only time the 27 amendment had ever inability to the president to discharge their duties, the only time it was put in practice for colonoscopies. [laughter] searcseriously. one more story, vice president cheney told me, he was deputy of chief of staff for general corporate what people don't realize about poor, he had to assassination attempts and 35 days. , they fired a shot him at point-blank and the gun malfunctioned and 35 days later he was giving a speech outside hotel and comes on the elevator, one of the elevators open vertically instead of horizontally and he talked about how the elevator door hit him on the top of the head and cracked a school open, he went upstairs to the room got stitches and came back down and then he was far taught that. a secret service agent got his finger between the assassin and the trigger and prevented her from killing gerald ford but he described it as a bad day for the pres

from bob woodward's book, it talked about how trump went bankrupt six times, walk away, blow up the dealar. do you think it's deliberate when he triggers other people's fear? >> it's 100% deliberate although it's hard to say anything donald trump is deliberate because he's so impulsive and reactive because he himself is a trauma victim. he himself grew up in trauma which is why he inflicts it on us. i think it's purposeful and i think he realizes it works. and when you don't have a conscience, i keep coming back to that, when you don't have a conscience, it's really easy to play to people's fears because you don't walk away with a sense of shame or guilt. neither of those ever arise inside him. >> so one of the habits we have in our your civil discourse and automobile in the media, as well is to talk about politics as this thing over here and then real life people's lives is over here. of course, politics is what has a lot of impact on people's lives. so thinking about the way we live and that we are living in a time where at trump has all this influence, what about in people's normal li
