brand name that people knew like kennedy as opposed to say a little-known senator from south carolina names mcgovern. instead of wounded kennedy from chappaquiddick he was on the top of his game just in all the media in 1972 could ve been a very different election. in the direction of the united states in that period would have been veryat different. but because kennedy was deadlocked by hisis own behavior he was not there and other candidate stepped forward and could galvanize traditional democrats and the progressive mcgovern democrats to bring them together to push forward instead nixon won. as a second term continue continued, reporting by woodward and bernstein would
white house. tried to blow up and stop the president from covering up. i tried to get my colleagues to go to the grand jury. i couldn t sell that. i broke rank internally. i was still at the white house, not unlike don mcgahn when deal with the prosecutors. and that went on for about a month. when they thought i was going, they didn t believe i was going to tell the truth, and they were kind of shocked when they found out i was being very honest. i think there are some parallels. i didn t give a lot of interviews, but a few to refute the president s efforts to discredit me. and so i think that s what we saw today from michael. along those lines, in the book the final days by woodward and bernstein, this is what they write about you. to the white house, dean was the tricky, connive, bottom-dwelling slug who would drag the president into the cover-up. you know, bottom-dwelling slug
today, do you agree with the comparison? well, we have some parallels, but some big differences. i happen to be internally in the white house. tried to blow up and stop the president from covering up. i tried to get my colleagues to go to the grand jury. i couldn t sell that. i broke rank internally. i was still at the white house, not you unlike don mcgahn when dealing with the prosecutors. and that went on for about a month. when they thought i was going, they didn t believe i was going to tell the truth, and they were kind of shocked when they found out i was being very honest. i think there are some parallels. i didn t give a lot of interviews, but a few to refute the president s efforts to discredit me. and so i think that s what we saw today from michael. along those lines, in the book the final days by woodward and bernstein which chronicles the last days of the nixon administration, this is what they write about you. to the white house, dean was the tricky, connive, botto
i don t know how wolff got that kind of access into an administration, but alas he did. this book is beyond being a best seller. it s in the history books, a lot like a woodward and bernstein, it s a permanent part of this year and what s going on right now in the book. samantha trump blames bannon for the revelations in the book. but is bannon to blame for the access to the white house and these other aids? i think it was bad staffing. i worked for two presidents. it s staffing 101 before a reporter or writer enters a white house, has meetings, has discussions, who is he or she going to talk to? is it going to be on or off the record? those are the kind of details you work out in advance sow don t get into the scenario that we are seeing right now but i think the reaction to the book has a lot of national security impacts that we re not talking as much about perhaps. let s do a little of role playing here. if you are kim jong-un or
after. that s not the case here. mueller s got everything you re reading in the new york times and the hollywood reporter, mueller s got all that stuff. if you re look forward, that s what you look forward to. unlike in the case of woodward and bernstein, donald trump s team invited michael wolff to hang out every day. just sit around, listen to whatever you want to hear. as a long-time political observer and journalist, i wouldn t trust me with that. come on, sit around in the white house. what kind of a president does that? to have this very strange-looking guy, hardly anybody knows, wandering around with a notebook? yeah. one with a chief of staff named reince priebus, apparently. appreciate you, have a good one. still to come, the bannon/trump feud causing shockwaves across the republican party. allies jumping ship, billionaire donors leaving him behind.
