Jonathan Karl: The Final Act of the Trump Show

- Veteran journalist Jonathan Karl has known and covered Donald J. Trump longer than any other White House reporter. And during that time, he has been praised, taunted and branded an enemy of the people by President Trump himself.
So possibly nobody is in a better position to tell the story of the shocking final chapter of the Trump show than Karl. In his new book Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show, Karl takes us behind the scenes of some of the darkest days in American history and shares what happened during the final weeks of the Trump presidency, the aftermath that followed, and what it means for the future of the Republican Party.

This is a thousand times worse than Watergate, step it up and arrest these corrupt politicians.
no he is able to slip out of every lawsuit and legal quagmire. He is small but resilient.
All these people who think we live in a country that allows what Trump and his cronies are allowed to get away with should be sent to a very small island with no way to get off of it. Let's see how many days they could all survive in close proximity of who their leader might be. Mayhem I say. Without money they would all do away with each other.
Here here... nothing like Watergate
You’d probably have to arrest half of the senate….
@Louise Dory - LOL!
That's like asking for Rich, White, Powerful, American people to be held accountable for their crimes.
Are you on drugs?
Why haven't Capitol Police and others harmed not sued Trump and others responsible financially?
They have...added to the 12, or so, different civil suits against him or his Co.
LET'S get BANNON
into prison
Yes!!
Am I the only one that thinks that Bannon was on that Billionaire's yacht when he got arrested for embezzling the donation money because he was going to use that money to buy that yacht! :-) and it's unbelievable that Bannon got convicted of the crime of taking that donated money that the Trump supporters were giving him for the wall and keeping it for himself and then Trump pardoned him and these people that support Trump are still standing behind him it is so funny !! if you made this up no one would believe it a Hollywood movie will never be made that would be similar to this because no one would believe it !!!!
Couldn't agree more my distant relative! Hello from Pennsylvania:)
You spelled Trump wrong
@@ber334
It is amazing how intolerance and bigotry still bring some people together in 2021.
History will not be kind to ALL of these people
Unless these same people rewrite history. It has happened before.
We don’t need to wait for history, it’s right now!
I always said there were many twisted minded people in this country, but never this many !
I am from Europe and I think our education as a general rule is superior to the USA's education.
It is not about the numbers of twisted minded people. When the numbers get to be that significant it is more about culture. I get truly worried about a society, for example, that is so scared of itself that it needs guns to protect itself from itself. This is just one manifestation of what is probably one of the most backward societies on earth. Trump is completely off the wall if he thinks he stood any chance of making America great.
The big question is how do you disempower a cult that created the environment that made a Trump presidency possible.
Start by bringing back something like the fairness doctrine in media to get rid of Faux “News”. It’s nonsense that they’re allowed to spew constant lies and BS. There are no journalists left at Fox, after Chris Wallace took off, he might’ve been one of the last with integrity.
You’d also have to start funding your education system properly - Americans have troves of uneducated, ignorant folks. And a universal health care system (what is it, 1 in 5 Americans dealing with untreated mental illness…yikes). And liveable wages. As long as you don’t have any of this, the US will continue to circle the drain! Watching from Canada here, we have everything listed and unsurprisingly, we’re voted best country in the world to live in 2020 - we have some of the highest university grad rates on the planet. And we’re only separated by a border (which I wouldn’t mind restricted with your irresponsible handling of COVID pandemic. Your selfish, gun-obsessed culture is gross, no other country has such a broken mentality and allows almost daily mass shootings. You have a lot of work ahead, and quite frankly I worry for my American friends!
Illogical Emotionalism will TRUMP Rational Logic almost every time. That is the formula Rupert Murdoch follows on FAUX Noise. Coffee table hate translates to billions of dollars in revenue for him. He just purchased the Beaverhead Ranch in Montana for $200 million dollars.
@Lesley T hey we dont want him back
Sadly, I think assassination is the only thing that would stop it in it's tracks -- and it might have to be an IED against his vehicle -- especially if his sons & Ivanka were with him. THAT would stop the cult of personality -- but that will never happen, because the people who are PREPARED to take those kind of actions are part of his cult. We lefties are much more idealistic, giving people the benefit of the doubt, etc.
@@GGirl99 The cult that he took control of and played to existed before he was even on the national scene. Those disenchanted elements of the fringe that Faux News and other platforms created and weaponized will still be there to be guided by a new leader. Unless it is entirely , calmly and LEGALLY dismantled.
The Select Committee, now at over 225 testimonies, are doing a stellar job at putting the pieces together. The evidence, the facts AND the truth, must be known, to Americans and to the world, who watched. People NEED to be held accountable, so-called Democracy has to be preserved, if America is EVER to be taken seriously again. Can't wait to read Jonathan's book.
Half of the country already knows what they did. It's the magaidiots who are clueless.
Louise A Smith way more than half the country
Yes yes yes 👍👍👍👍
Unless Merrick Garland will act it is all for naught
I can't wait to see the results, the truth should prevail, would that be the end of republicanism.
It's like half the country vetted their presidential choice by watching "The Apprentice" and believing it to be the truth.
Much less than half. Trump lost the vote badly both times. Only the phoney, non-electoral, Electoral College put him in the first time.
Many cannot separate Reality from The REAL Thing
Exactly Shelia because they’re already disconnected from reality.
13 million people in the US think Elvis is still ALIVE. Just saying.
And they fell for his act just like when he bought into WWE
Pompeo smilingly assured us all, at one point, that there would be a second term for Trump during all the turmoil before Biden was sworn in. So, Pompeo needs to be questioned about that statement.
Pompeo is recovering from chin surgery.
Pompeo took notes, dieted and got plastic surgery. He is running.
Pompeo is worse than Trump because he has been able to stay out of the front. Pompeo really pulled the shades down on our eyes. Sneaky snake hid in the grass.
Ask Pompeo about the origin of Covid.
I screamed at the tv that day.
Why isn't trump in jail???? My only question????? Why the hell not?????? Any true answers????????? Any honesty????????
I'm with you on that question ❓⁉️❓❓❓⁉️❓⁉️
The wheels of justice grind slowly, but forward.

Thank you both for a very informative and enjoyable hour watching this.
Johnathan Karl, history will be kind to you for your commitment to American democracy, truth and telling said truth for all who will listen. It is fellow Americans like you who will be rightfully credited with protecting democracy or better not watching democracy die without one hell of a fight! Your tireless efforts seeking truth for everyone else to know it is highly nobel, and I for one thank you personally from the bottom of my heart. God bless, stay safe, and keep going! Love you, Frances in Madison, WI
If Trump truly believes that our elections are fraught with fraud against him, how did he win the 2016 presidential election in the first place? Please read the most recent Craig Unger book. Wow!
@@StellarFella Excellent point. That's something I've asked over and over.
@@elizabethgrogan8553 - Get AMERICAN KOMPROMAT. It will raise your eyebrows and then some.
I totally agree with everything that you’ve said without exception.
@@iansoberano5103 - I am for the Constitution and our Constitutional system. I don't get caught up in personages. Everybody in Italy worshiped Benito Mussolini until they changed their minds and hung him. Then they cut him down and kicked his dead body around. We fought nationalism/fascism on three different fronts in World War 2. Today, Japan, Germany, and Italy are the world's top three democracies. Imagine that!
Why dd the Republican s hide if they weren't afraid of the crowd and they were only tourists
That’s what I keep asking why did Harley Cruz Gozar and all those dummy Republicans hide when the attempted coup happened? They were cowards they ran like scary cats.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tourists never wore body armor and knifes and guns.
My question exactly
Shelly(fake name) all members of congress present took security precautions. ALL .I was at Trumps speech that day, he never gave marching orders to attack the capital.I recorded that speech. He demanded loud but lawfull . And it was up to Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to demand more protection.THEY DID NOT!
@@davidwadsworth8982
Nancy Pelosi was questioned about that, and she said, she was assured by the Capitol Building POLICE.... they would take care of it........
It would be interesting to know what trump had over Bill Barr and Mike Pompeo ??
Hidden cameras and mics in all of his properties...l assume all prominent Republicans stayed at one(or more?) of em.....after they bent the knee, of course.
We were all here but not able to see or hear what was actually going on in the oval office we are so grateful....
If you can add 2+2 you knew the Orange psychopath wasn’t going to stop. What he did leading up to January 6th was a culmination of the attack on democracy that had been going on for over 4 years.
Looks like DJT had a troop of brown shirts working for him!
In my 74 years I'v been a Democrat, a Republican, and an Independent. At least once each. Not because I particularly care for the party system, but because you had to register with the party of the candidate of your choice to see them on the primary ballot. The system needs an overhaul.
Lastly, I've seen many forward strides we've made as a country over the years, and many mistakes made. But today I truly fear for the future of this country, and it deeply saddens me.
Trump changed parties SEVEN times.
What was your first election you voted in?
@@Theeosees I believe I voted for no one in 1968, didn't like Nixon or Humphrey. I was young, in the Air Force overseas, began voting in the '70's.
@@robertmergaert3367 so you were born in 1952? That's wild, my father was too
@@robertmergaert3367 - You had to be 21 to vote in the 1968 election. Nixon changed the law so you had to be 18 to vote in the general election in 1972.
I barely made the deadline. Nixon made it possible for me to vote before the age of 21, but I registered Democrat and voted for McGovern in 1972. Nixon was a Fascist and so was Spiro Agnew. He was just as corrupt as Trump is.
I wish it was the final act, but I think there's more to come
Unfortunately, I agree.
As long as Trump knows he can have Executive Privilege from Prosecution as President, he won't stop trying to get back in ...
Stumpie wants to be Speaker of the House so he can impeach Biden. Of course stumpie doesnt know how to write articles of impeachment but he has his minions that do whatever he wants. The Democrats arent even trying to stop the Republicans from taking the House in 2022. It's as though the Democrats are blind, deaf, and dumb and cant see the train coming down the track. Duh, gee, gulp. Stumpie's sure to get Speaker.
@@jeffreymalack3723 I certainly agree with you. Frightening.. and my hair is standing straight up with fear!
Time has proven you absolutely correct
Thank you so much Martha Raddatz and Jonathan Karl, for the work that you do.
trump reminds me of all the 3rd grade students I taught through the years and that one boy in every class who is desperate for attention and doesn’t care if it is negative attention. We used to ignore those behaviors in an effort to extinguish them. Nobody has ever done that with donald, he has learned that any kind of attention-press, interviews etc, feeds his Id.
Once he’s in prison there should a news blackout on him.🇬🇧
He reminded me of a kid who didn't do their reading assignment & then attempted to BS a way thru describing the assignment.
He doesn't exist within himself unless someone is paying attention to him. The absolute best thing to do with these insane asylum candidates is solitary confinement, forever.
Thank you for the teaching that you did. It's super important.
Fighting over who gets the orange crayon. It's apparent. Wonder if he sold out the lunch lady for leverage? Rotten sob. Lock him up, enough reasons where Joe/Jane Citizen, (us)...would have been in jail years ago. I'd like to see him claim executive privilege in a 6×9 cell over who should get the bottom bunk. Be just some orange debris remains needing mopped up. Lock him up! 🚫🍊
Trump is the pied piper, people will follow him as long as he plays the flute. The flute represents his BS commentary. So here is my suggestion. Don't let him play the flute.
Who do you have in mind to get him to stop?? Cuz I've given up on anything ending his constant endless quest for the spotlight and I don't expect him to STFU unless he has a stroke or something.
The rats follow the pied piper.
When he held the Bible upside down by that church I was sent an identical shot of Hitler holding up Mein Kampf.
@Lesley T trump 2024
@Lesley T my hands are sufficent to do all feeling and touching and sufficently large enough.
This is terrifying
Trump would run to collect that campaign money...then drop out.
He didn't want to win the first time. We didn't want him , either. But we got a 4 year shit show of incompetence. We are just lucky for that.
Bingo
He will say he’s gonna run, collect all the money and cry his health is not good, he’s also gonna use this in his criminal cases start to really take a grip. 🇬🇧
You've foretold TFG's "Stop the Steal" and "FBI Raided Me" fundraising campaigns.
When I really stop and think about how close we came to losing our Democracy I am chilled to the bone.
And it is terribly frightening that it is continuing....
@Lesley T Stay strong neighbour! We have our fingers crossed for you! I just hope that the democrats vote in 22.
@Lesley T I do some of the same but it is exhausting! Keep up the good work!
@Lesley T I know! I don't understand it either, that and the anti-vax. That anyone could listen to trumpy for five minutes and think that he is smart or a good person is simply beyond me. My heart sank when he won the election in 2016.
So, yeah, we have crazies here too! It, along with vaccinations, are taboo topics with some people.
the slow moving coup is ongoing - and will be as long as truth is so discounted by right-wing news collaborators.
The list of charges and offenses against Esper is so unbelievably Orwellian. The only difference between these purges and those of Stalin is that they weren't banished to Siberia or publicly executed.

Thank you both for this wonderful archive! Truth in journalism is a cornerstone of our democracy!
I would be reassured if it was the final act of the Trump show.
I wish this process would move faster! I just don’t know how much more has to come out before people understand what really happened!
I'd like to see more GOP leaders asked re: the worst aspects of Jan 6th. With nearly non-stop "coverage" of this...it feels like the right people are not publicly challenged. Rudy kept saying "we'll show you the evidence...." Has anybody asked him if he was just making it up? Isn't that some kind of crime?
@Lesley T Good!

Victory to America 🇺🇸
The scale of Trump's efforts to retain power is truly incredible. What really amazes me is how vulnerable our political system is to such a danger. This has been a question posed by many from the beginning & we should take serious steps to safeguard this country from future efforts to subvert the democratic process in America.
The GOP had been priming its followers for years. They just needed someone with a charismatic personality. Luckily for America Trump was so self absorbed he surrendered himself with yes people and his ego ate him. I laugh everytime Don the con talks. It's all, me me me, I did it, I did that,
Remember the song “Monster” by Steppenwolf - “now its a monster and will not obey.”
I just discussed this very song and it’s new significance with my son on Thanksgiving!
@@jeffreymalack3723 …and it just sits there, watching! Can’t you just hear that thump, thump beat right here? And the drum solo that thumps 21 times before going into the next verse (radio stations reduced the drum “thumps” so the song wouldn’t be so long for airplay!!!
I read comments often. I can see this says important things but that the audio /video is not synched, that people still feel its not finished for trump, get your act together America
Remember my prescient statement made when I campaigned for congress in 2018. A malignant narcissist does not go down alone they take everyone with them.
The Democrats need a good marketing company!!! Hello there! Anyone knows a strong and dynamic Marketing group to push the Democrats up high by highlighting their successes? Just for one more term, to stabilise and improve the country, the economy, the infrastructure, and keep the calm, the stable, the ethical ways we are enjoying!
If Raddatz and Karl were in the same room, we would still be looking at a broadcast of them --neither more nor less "virtual" than what we're seeing now.
Those that participate in the failed coup attempt on Jan 6th should be declared enemy combatants and rendered to GITMO for trial.
They tried a repeat of Mussolini's "March on Rome" in 1922 but failed -- this time --.
Those that forget the past are doomed to repeat it.
Johnathan you are right that he tried many things to remain in office but the time from the election to Jan 20th came faster than he was able to pull off a coup.
It’s given the opportunity, they will start sooner in 2024. And if he’s not in prison, he will be the Republican nominee. I hear a lot of people saying they want free and fair elections, but only if their candidate wins. And I know everybody doesn’t love Hillary, but she knew what a disaster his presidency and its aftermath would be. Unfortunately, many of us did.
Screaming profanities at you one day and behaving as if he never did the next is what narcissists do. And if ever there was a narcissist, it is Donald Trump.
Platforms for PROFIT need to held to account for their propagation of misinformation 👏👏👏
yeah = History will not be kind, at least we know who they are.
Donald loves puppets around him
He sure does.
You're kidding me. Of course he means it it's that your going to give him another chance to show off. He's a bipolar fool. Please don't say he doesn't mean what he says
Not BPD. Malignant Narcissist, sociopath.

I've not seen anything that Mary Trump may have speculated on. (I don't think she did, in her 1st. book, [?] and I've seen almost all of her interviews.)
Just comments by multiple Special Ed. Teachers.
This is the most interesting and revealing discussion about Donald Trump's inside story.
It is so refreshing and candid, and uncensored version of Donald Trump's legacy.
And so why is the Orange madman not in prison?
Because he stacked the judicial system with corrupt judges just to protect him when the day came.
Awesome talk and information! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
You know what when I first watched that stuff on TV Jan 6, I said OMG 😱 Trump did a coup and it failed 😂, he done done
I appreciate how he spoke about the secrecy of the interviews and the depositions. There is so much sensationalism surrounding the “speed“ of the DOJ, but building a good case takes time and a ton of diligence.
Read the latest Craig Unger book. It will explain so much!
History in real time! We don't have to wait for history to be analyzed later. Thank you commonwealth club.
This information needs to be shared far and wide. Thank you both for comprehensive coverage of the behind the scenes situation. I am startled by the lack of accountability for this behavior- from an HR perspective- are there any employment lawsuits happening for wrongful termination?

Tell the truth in 2024 and LET the chips fall where they may! If there is a political party running who wants to destroy our system of government- which system makes journalism possible- then THAT is the news!
Well said!
Not sure what your point is. Can you elaborate?
@@peterdelappe.1971 the fact that this new Republican party is anti-democratic, makes it anti-American. The media is acting as if voting Republican is still an option like it’s been in years past, when in fact, they are now an organized coup attempt to overthrow our constitution. The fact that they are not running as a party who’s goal is to further our constitutional democracy, but rather, destroy the voting options and control the result of future elections, disqualifies them as a legitimate AMERICAN party. A constitutional change to authoritarianism in our country would require the desire of a great majority. To manipulate control by means of implanting dissenters within our present system, is an attack- not an election.

Going to find that for myself....
Perfect!
Amazing book. Workers of America really need to read it.
Certainly a major factor as to why I’m a vegetarian. The Jungle was one of the first books I had my son read as part of his at home social studies lessons.
That book changed the US.
Really great interview! I especially appreciated hearing @Jonathan Karl talking about the difficulty of covering campaign season if one side is trying to dismantle fair elections. Let’s hope the process of congressional investigation moves into public hearings and any indictments before the democrats lose the ability to pursue justice.
Well, this isn't aging well, eh?
HEAR the PRIDE of the ignorant who ALL state, “I like to do my own research, using the internet.”
Did Guiliani book four seasons landscaping by mistake? Karl just says that Trump thought it was the hotel. Not whether Guilianis team also effed up
It wasn’t a mistake, they ran out of money and couldn’t afford the real thing. Just another of many cons by tRumps team.

What does it take to arrest Trump and his partners in crime? What can be done to make him unable to run for President EVER again?
If Trump can be convicted of inciting, engaging in, or supporting insurrection, he would be barred from the Presidency under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
Here it is:
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
50 years ago he would have already swung from a lamp post like Mussolini

@@brendabeaver1342 nope, I only see the orange menace’s books there.
Jonathan's Last Point Was Exactly The Reason I Blamed The Networks For Their Haste In Reporting Incomplete Election Results. They Should Have Made It Crystal Clear That Votes Are Still Pending. Obviously, The Percentage Indicator Means Nothing, Since A Small County Or City For That Matter Could Have More Voters Than Multiple Rural Counties.
Every network I watched that night was clear about early voting, in-person voting, absentee ballots, etc. Steve Kornack at MSNBC did an exemplary job. On the other hand, FOX forced-fed its viewers the idea that something "weird" was happening as the evening progressed. I know because I watched their election night coverage too.
Secondly, for months before the election Trump kept telling people that if he lost, it was because of fraud and a rigged election. So he was conditioning those people even before the election. After the election was called, he and his minions continued the false election claims, with the aid of FOX.
Finally, polls have shown that only small percentages of Republicans felt the election was rigged immediately following election night. The fact that a year later a majority of Republican, trump-supporting, FOX watchers believe that the election was rigged is because for every day for the past year they've been told that it was with no supporting proof.
Anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't been paying attention.
D.T. is a con man who said, repeat a lie often enough, people start to believe it. that's what his whole image has been his entire life, smoke, and mirrors. Fred has answered to the highest power and his son will soon, no lying his way out then. Justice will be served. this video was well worth the time to watch it.
How can DT run for office when all his crew have been indicted.
Excellent interview ...Thank You Mr. Karl for your hard work to get these close interviews. Well presented
and in formative. I feel that some early votes were possibly down card for GOP, but Not for Trump. That was confusing for him, considering his total lack of rules of Law and especially voting, and Politics in general behind the scenes and the principles of Democracy. Ii agree with Jonathan I do not think X45 DJT is going to run at risk of humiliation, that is how he is.
Trump belongs in PRISON now for high TEASoN.
Teresa good post. I do not think Trump is capable of humiliation ,honesty or fair judgement. You hit it right on his total lack or rules of law is a danger to our country.
I stand in awe of these two. I'm seated, actually, but you get the point.
Thank you for your reporting
Thank you CCC, I can't afford to buy books anymore so I go to sites like yours to get some of "the rest of the story". I have shared this one on my FB. People need to know.

Great conversation 🇬🇧
Excellent book. Packed with information, very readable and with some hilariously funny bits to relieve the horror.
Thank you both.
How will you ever get out the pong of TFG in the WH? Biden has to suffer from it, and many more presidents will have to as well!
Negitive outburst to uplifting praise is very normal narrcisistic behavior.
Great interview!!!

I got a headache observing the visual and of the difference for the audio so I looked away and read the captions along with the voices.
Thank you ❣
