Not really. The world was more chaotic back then. We are living in a more peaceful age today despite the bellicosity and hatred that still pervades the world today.

I remember this all happening, and was so intrigued. It is still such an amazing part of history. I love the honesty and bravery of these two determined journalists. So great to listen and watch them again.
Watch these movies /series- together or one by one - you get a full picture of the scandal 1. The Post 2. White House plumbers 3. All the presidents men 4. Mark Felt the man who brought down the White House 4. Nixon 5. Nixon the final days
I was 18 or so when Nixon resigned. I remember wishing I was 21 so I could go out and celebrate with my brothers. I have had few historical events in my life that gave me greater joy.
My parents both voted for Nixon. I had a friend who was very involved in the McGovern campaign and I knew about the break in and some of the other things Nixon was pulling. My parents wouldn’t believe a word of it. Go figure.

The Nixon White House was not the only people that hated Watergate. Television at the time had three major pre-cable networks that each produced soap operas viewed by "housewives" Monday through Friday. When the hearings were televised the soap operas were not broadcast. Nothing worse than the attitude of a viewer who wanted to see the next turn of events on their soap operas but interrupted by Congressional hearings. That is how it was in my family dealing with a mother a fan of some soap operas that originated as daily 15 minute programs on radio.
@@jay41109 You are clearly uneducated. It was the Trump administration and destroyed everything. That's how the economy works. The previous administration either sets things up in a positive way or destorys it. Trump was handed a booming economy but destroyed it because he didn't like Obama and wanted to steal funds from the American people. He succeeded. Thankfully people voted him out. Biden took four years to get things finally moving in a positive direction despite the GOP leadership in the house not wanting to pass things for the American people. Now with Harris coming in, we should see a booming economy again. Trump and the GOP do not care about you. They want to steal money from your pockets and hurt anyone who doesn't agree.
I was only 17, but I remember this time. My mother, who I never heard discuss politics told me when Nixon was elected in the landslide '72 election 'Richard Nixon has been re elected and no good will come of it.'
@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath No one says that he did not do anything worthwhile - but he was a criminal - Giotti was well liked in his neighborhood - did some nice things. But also killed people or had them killed. Same with Al Capone.
Wait a minute. The story starts with Woodward being a sort of cub crime reporter (quote "a rookie") and shortly after, about 6:10 into the video, we find Woodward contacting a trusted source that he has been "cultivating" for two years. Well, we know how the Watergate story unfolds, but is really clumsy and inconsistent.
This added to my feeling about Nixon. After reading a biography of Truman while in high school, that Truman said that Nixon could lie out of both sides of his mouth.
American politics is so weird Nixon= bad (he lied about wiretapping) Truman = good (he had a completely forged backstory and killed hundreds of thousands of people in Japan with two nuclear bombs)
I'm an Australian, forgive me if I don't have all the details, But wasn't the Trump Campaign also wiretapped, by the Obama Administration? as far as I am aware, Nixon never sought to financially benefit from his position, can the same be said about the Biden family? (ie "the big guy") - 600K per annum "consulting fees" for Hunter Biden? The wire trapping on the Trump campaign was also denied, until the Manafort trial, where it was exposed during discovery. Being clever enough to run get the CIA to do the wiretapping for you doesn't make it not a sly-tactic. Putting that trivialness aside, Bush, Clinton, Obama oversaw some of the worst war crimes in our lifetime, 400,000 dead civilians+, and that's not even including their complicity with Israel and what was done to Palestine over these last few decades. My country Australia was even democratically frozen out for MONTHS by Secretary Hilary Clinton for refusing to vote against Palestinian Statehood at the UN in 2012, she complained to the world's press about Australia and complained to our Ambassador in Washington personally. Australia is a formal ally of American, Israel isn't - before this event we didn't realise Israel was the 51st state. Considering this , is Nixon wiretapping (and then lying about it) really the greatest sin of a President? I think the establishment wanted Nixon gone for other reasons (his lack of blind support for Israel for one, including during the Yom Kippur war), and this was just a good excuse. Not every President would go down for this, but the rug was well and truly pulled out from under Nixon. Nixon and Jimmy Carter had a strong mutual respect for each other and friendship, because they were the two most upstanding and decent ex-presidents.
This is so needed today. After the former president found guilty of 34 crimes yesterday, he should have been investigated starting back 2015. It should be done by 5th party and leave Congress out of the investigation. Congress has already proven that they are complicit of not being bipartisan. We would not be where we are today.
I keep seeing it’s a must see movie, agree and own it. Do highly recommend the book even more. Other part to take notice, “When we were meeting at the Kennedy Compound.” That part made me laugh for all the wrong reasons.
While this is a story about the extraordinary work of Woodward and Bernstein, let’s give a bow to Tom Brokaw and his team at NBC News. Done nearly 20 years ago, I’m not sure network news is capable of doing this kind of reporting any more. I entered a crowded journalism school in 1976 after Watergate spurred thousands toward careers in journalism. I had a full career in newspapers. Sadly my career, and newspapers are dead. Who would have thought?
Being a hero is complicated. A person can be honorable in one part of their life while being despicable in other parts. Regardless, Mark Felt did the right thing if his oath to serve at the FBI included the words, "defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic". Then he did the right thing and Pat Buchanan was wrong. Felt did not break his oath. He carried it out in the face of outrageous criminality in the White House.
You would think that, after a while, someone would have tailed Woodward to one of those clandestine meetings. It sounds like Bernstein was aware of the flowerpot on Woodward's balcony. Who else knew about it?
The full story of Watergate will never be known because we will never know what was on that eighteen minutes of tape. Nixon knew that by erasing it his doom was sealed. Whatever it was must have been so explosive he was willing to resign rather than have any inquiry go further.
I was 10 years old. I remember the Watergate hearings it inspired me to love and be involved in politics. We need to be involved. I shake my head of so many ignorant, complacent Americans, who aren’t. It is our duty to watch those who lead us! Thank you Washington Post for helping us see the truth. One more thing: I do believe that that time of the tape that was destroyed, or never given in, had to do with the assassination of Kennedy. Perhaps, even those on the side of righteousness, thought it would be too much for the American public to hear. But perhaps in the future, after even I am gone, it will be revealed That Nixon, Lindsey Johnson, and even George Bush Senior, and others were involved in the assassination. I have seen some other documentaries on this channel that supported my theory. Can you imagine a 10-year-old telling her parents this? My parents were Cuban refugees and the last thing they wanted was this controversy at home.😅
I was young when the incident happened. It was an astounding event to my generation and influenced our thinking so deeply that many of us would carry it with us for the rest of our lives. The courage and dedication of the individual citizen as a whistleblower --- It was a modern day Biblical David and Goliath story.

This was truly fascinating. I was not paying close attention to politics in those days. I had (or forgot!) no idea of the details of Tricky Dick's attack on our country. I honestly didn't pay attention to politics until the Orange Menace entered the White House …

Charles Colson, of all of the 'criminals' is my hero today. From his Federal prison time, Colson was inspired to found Prison Fellowship Ministries. It assists prisoners all over the IS to prepare for reintegration into society. It all gives gifts to the children of the incarcerated, called Angel Tree. It is not federally funded in any way.
Colson is both a criminal and a conman who cons Christians into thinking he cares about them and their primitive beliefs. And prisoners don't need to be coddled. They need to think of prison as somewhere they do NOT want to ever go back to. Their offspring ESPECIALLY need to learn that lesson.
Compared to Trump those now seem such innocent times. At least they had enough sense of shame and respect/fear of the law to attempt to cover up their crimes. Now it is "fuck you law! I did it so what?"
@@haroldsmyth6685 And, how did those people know what was going on? Nixon's men were a pretty small and tight-knit group. Someone on the inside had to be giving information to Felt.
@@AzimuthTao On one of the Nixon tapes, Felt’s name is mentioned. Something like, “Felt knows everything that goes on inside the FBI.” It wasnt an accusation; someone was pointing out that Felt held one of those types of positions in a government agency where lots of information streams are near. Some people think that Nixon’s inner circle or Nixon himself might have surmised that Felt was DT. They had no proof and what could they do about it anyway?
Mark Felt was Deputy Director of the FBI. He had access to damned near everything. Inside the agency he was known as the Silver Rat because of the bright grey streak in his hair and his known propensity for leaking things to the press. Nixon knew who "Deep Throat" was long before the editors at the Post gave him that nickname.

What an excellent documentary! Redford is correct: what did we learn from the Watergate?
We learned that 37% of the nation is so completely lost, that even with all evidence and corruption, they'll still vote and support the horrible corrupt dictator-wanna-be buffoon to be their horrible dictator-wanna-be buffoon.
Straighten up and fly right ❤❤❤
@@alysononoahu8702 I guess you sre correct😊
Obviously, not very much. This is something that should be taught in school
Great documentary, unfortunately it sounds very familiar to the government today.
Yes, Traitor Trump and his degenerate family have taken Republican America-hating and lawbreaking and treason to the next level.
Pat Buchanan venting his righteous indignation is hilarious.
I agree. What a joke.
30-40 yrs later. RMN resignation could bring tears to Pat
Pap Buchanan is a traitor who should’ve gone to jail. He is the true snake.
What's even more obscene is how Ben Stein reacted to Nixon's farewell speech.
The country's mindset of the early 70's was divided between our government can do no wrong and "My God, how can our government have been so wrong so much of the time".
I remember this all happening, and was so intrigued. It is still such an amazing part of history. I love the honesty and bravery of these two determined journalists. So great to listen and watch them again.
Bad days but nothing like the mess of today!!!!
Yes, Traitor Trump and his degenerate family have taken Republican America-hating and lawbreaking and treason to the next level.
Pat Buchanan calling someone else a "snake" is about as ironic as it gets.
Was thinking the same thing! 😂😂
No kidding!
Exactly. Mr. Christian condoning lying and calling someone seeking justice a snake. Pretty telling.
Buchanan was and always has been a toxic shitbag.
Escaped Watergate, then Iran Contra...want to know how we got to the “now”? Follow Pat’s slippery breadcrumbs...
Excellent documentary. I remember Tom Brokaw's command of the interview back in the day
I grew up with him
Always one of my favorite newsmen!

I was 18 or so when Nixon resigned. I remember wishing I was 21 so I could go out and celebrate with my brothers. I have had few historical events in my life that gave me greater joy.

Great Video.. I can still remember the W.G. Hearings in the summer of 73'.. We ( as a nation), were truly glued to the T.V.
Hey, it was on BBC Radio in the UK and the earpiece was in my ear and the dog was playing around as I walked over the hills.
I remember John Dean’s wife’s impeccably coiffed blonde hair.
Thank you for sharing this video. Very interesting, as well as educational.
God bless 🙏
Which god? santa claus or the easter bunny?
My parents both voted for Nixon. I had a friend who was very involved in the McGovern campaign and I knew about the break in and some of the other things Nixon was pulling. My parents wouldn’t believe a word of it. Go figure.
@@bethriley9757 "McGovern was doing the same thing." Really? Please elaborate.
@@bethriley9757 Are we really trying to both-sides Watergate and the white house plumbers? No, not every candidate has teams of ex-intelligence agents to break in and bug, rob and sabotage their opponents.

I remember my Republican Father scraping his Nixon bumper sticker off of his car, angry as hell. Nowadays Republicans will continue to believe & vote for criminals.
That was an amazing and informative documentary, I am not American, but I remember talking with friends in class, when the Watergate scandal broke, and then the movie...so good to see an unbiased documentary, so good to see both reporters, and to see Mr. Felt....maybe, just all hero's are not golden...maybe, sometimes the Heroes we need are Angels with dirty faces...God bless them all...and their Families...xxx
Wow! It's amazing how political history repeats itself.
Indictments in 4 States, Trump has taken it waaaay too far.
The Nixon White House was not the only people that hated Watergate. Television at the time had three major pre-cable networks that each produced soap operas viewed by "housewives" Monday through Friday. When the hearings were televised the soap operas were not broadcast. Nothing worse than the attitude of a viewer who wanted to see the next turn of events on their soap operas but interrupted by Congressional hearings. That is how it was in my family dealing with a mother a fan of some soap operas that originated as daily 15 minute programs on radio.
Some people’s ‘priorities,’ are not priorities. 🙄
Thanks for this upload. Incredible history.
And to think that we thought he was the worst thing that could happen to America
Yeah. Who knew January 6, 2021 was coming?
@@Great-Documentarieswho know the Democrats would destroy the country in less the four years.
@@jay41109 You are clearly uneducated. It was the Trump administration and destroyed everything. That's how the economy works. The previous administration either sets things up in a positive way or destorys it. Trump was handed a booming economy but destroyed it because he didn't like Obama and wanted to steal funds from the American people. He succeeded. Thankfully people voted him out. Biden took four years to get things finally moving in a positive direction despite the GOP leadership in the house not wanting to pass things for the American people. Now with Harris coming in, we should see a booming economy again. Trump and the GOP do not care about you. They want to steal money from your pockets and hurt anyone who doesn't agree.
Thank you so much for this documentary. I’ve finally understood some of the watergate story.
I was only 17, but I remember this time. My mother, who I never heard discuss politics told me when Nixon was elected in the landslide '72 election 'Richard Nixon has been re elected and no good will come of it.'
@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath Oh yeah, that's right, he did, and no, she probably didn't know that. Well, that's been a huge success.
@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath No one says that he did not do anything worthwhile - but he was a criminal - Giotti was well liked in his neighborhood - did some nice things. But also killed people or had them killed. Same with Al Capone.
Wait a minute. The story starts with Woodward being a sort of cub crime reporter (quote "a rookie") and shortly after, about 6:10 into the video, we find Woodward contacting a trusted source that he has been "cultivating" for two years. Well, we know how the Watergate story unfolds, but is really clumsy and inconsistent.
‘Cultivating’ to obtain a future career somewhere perhaps?
This was very informative and very well done.
What a classy reporter
This added to my feeling about Nixon. After reading a biography of Truman while in high school, that Truman said that Nixon could lie out of both sides of his mouth.
American politics is so weird
Nixon= bad (he lied about wiretapping)
Truman = good (he had a completely forged backstory and killed hundreds of thousands of people in Japan with two nuclear bombs)
The all good days, when integrity, honesty what the normal!
And strangely enough this is nothing compared to what happens in our government today
If there was a "red scare" in the 50s, today has to be the equivalent of Friday The 13th.
Watched the hearings with my mom when i was a teen. Didnt fully understand until i got older. Who knew what was instore in 2020.
I'm an Australian, forgive me if I don't have all the details,
But wasn't the Trump Campaign also wiretapped, by the Obama Administration? as far as I am aware, Nixon never sought to financially benefit from his position, can the same be said about the Biden family? (ie "the big guy") - 600K per annum "consulting fees" for Hunter Biden? The wire trapping on the Trump campaign was also denied, until the Manafort trial, where it was exposed during discovery. Being clever enough to run get the CIA to do the wiretapping for you doesn't make it not a sly-tactic.
Putting that trivialness aside, Bush, Clinton, Obama oversaw some of the worst war crimes in our lifetime, 400,000 dead civilians+, and that's not even including their complicity with Israel and what was done to Palestine over these last few decades. My country Australia was even democratically frozen out for MONTHS by Secretary Hilary Clinton for refusing to vote against Palestinian Statehood at the UN in 2012, she complained to the world's press about Australia and complained to our Ambassador in Washington personally. Australia is a formal ally of American, Israel isn't - before this event we didn't realise Israel was the 51st state.
Considering this , is Nixon wiretapping (and then lying about it) really the greatest sin of a President? I think the establishment wanted Nixon gone for other reasons (his lack of blind support for Israel for one, including during the Yom Kippur war), and this was just a good excuse. Not every President would go down for this, but the rug was well and truly pulled out from under Nixon.
Nixon and Jimmy Carter had a strong mutual respect for each other and friendship, because they were the two most upstanding and decent ex-presidents.
Great interview! ❤
I have to state how great Brokaw was. Damn.
This is so needed today. After the former president found guilty of 34 crimes yesterday, he should have been investigated starting back 2015. It should be done by 5th party and leave Congress out of the investigation. Congress has already proven that they are complicit of not being bipartisan. We would not be where we are today.
I keep seeing it’s a must see movie, agree and own it. Do highly recommend the book even more. Other part to take notice, “When we were meeting at the Kennedy Compound.” That part made me laugh for all the wrong reasons.
While this is a story about the extraordinary work of Woodward and Bernstein, let’s give a bow to Tom Brokaw and his team at NBC News. Done nearly 20 years ago, I’m not sure network news is capable of doing this kind of reporting any more. I entered a crowded journalism school in 1976 after Watergate spurred thousands toward careers in journalism. I had a full career in newspapers. Sadly my career, and newspapers are dead. Who would have thought?
brill doc, thanks for uploading
This is so appropriate to our times
J. Edgar Hoover was as ethically bankrupt as any politician or corporate head or banker.
ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN IS EXCELLENT MOVIE ON THIS SUBJECT😎😎😎😎
Fascinating documentary, how current it all seems…
Except that Nixon got pardoned and Traitor Trump won't be.
Think how many more the public will never know about in the past?
Being a hero is complicated. A person can be honorable in one part of their life while being despicable in other parts. Regardless, Mark Felt did the right thing if his oath to serve at the FBI included the words, "defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic". Then he did the right thing and Pat Buchanan was wrong. Felt did not break his oath. He carried it out in the face of outrageous criminality in the White House.
Excellent documentary. Kudos
When is it not a dark time in the USA?
When Democrats are in charge.
Duh!
Whoeve came up with the idea that Pat Buchanan was the source was crazy. He still defends Nixon to this day.
Great documentary. Thanks!
"All The President's Men" is a great read.
Former President Trump said if he says to do it, than it's legal.
You would think that, after a while, someone would have tailed Woodward to one of those clandestine meetings. It sounds like Bernstein was aware of the flowerpot on Woodward's balcony. Who else knew about it?
@@KatzenjammerKid61
If Watergate was "a cancer on the Presidency", Trump is leprosy...
Thank you for this doc
Tom Brokaw? There's some stellar JOURNALISM , the pinnacle of our current MSM.
This video is almost 20 years old.
There will never be a full history of Watergate despite what the title may claim.
No. It's full and complete.
When I first heard about the Watergate scandal back in the 1990's I thought it was referring to a body of water like a sea, ocean, or dike......
The full story of Watergate will never be known because we will never know what was on that eighteen minutes of tape. Nixon knew that by erasing it his doom was sealed. Whatever it was must have been so explosive he was willing to resign rather than have any inquiry go further.
Indeed. 👍
I was 10 years old. I remember the Watergate hearings it inspired me to love and be involved in politics. We need to be involved. I shake my head of so many ignorant, complacent Americans, who aren’t. It is our duty to watch those who lead us! Thank you Washington Post for helping us see the truth.
One more thing: I do believe that that time of the tape that was destroyed, or never given in, had to do with the assassination of Kennedy. Perhaps, even those on the side of righteousness, thought it would be too much for the American public to hear. But perhaps in the future, after even I am gone, it will be revealed That Nixon, Lindsey Johnson, and even George Bush Senior, and others were involved in the assassination. I have seen some other documentaries on this channel that supported my theory. Can you imagine a 10-year-old telling her parents this? My parents were Cuban refugees and the last thing they wanted was this controversy at home.😅
Thank you for sharing this relic ✌️
I was young when the incident happened. It was an astounding event to my generation and influenced our thinking so deeply that many of us would carry it with us for the rest of our lives.

lies affords power & profit while the truth suffers contempt & persecution
Thank you for the documentary. What a repeat of things.
"We just lost 7 million dollars in automotive advertising". Graham: "Thank God we can afford it". Wow....folks- there are very few if any of that type of journalism owner anymore. Owners who were committed to journalistic integrity and commitment to seeking the truth, wherever the evidence led.
It's all corporate now.
Amazing docu thanks 😊
How did it feel to have Robert Redford play Woodward in the movie? M. IL
Robert Redford's assessment toward the end is more prescient now than in 2005.
Yes, Traitor Trump and his degenerate family have taken Republican America-hating and lawbreaking and treason to the next level.
The comparison of Richard Nixon to Donald Trump today is interesting

Charles Colson, of all of the 'criminals' is my hero today. From his Federal prison time, Colson was inspired to found Prison Fellowship Ministries. It assists prisoners all over the IS to prepare for reintegration into society. It all gives gifts to the children of the incarcerated, called Angel Tree. It is not federally funded in any way.
Colson is both a criminal and a conman who cons Christians into thinking he cares about them and their primitive beliefs. And prisoners don't need to be coddled. They need to think of prison as somewhere they do NOT want to ever go back to. Their offspring ESPECIALLY need to learn that lesson.

Who did the Synth music heard at the opening & closing of this show?
Does anyone know how Mark Felt was able to obtain the information he had?
@@haroldsmyth6685 And, how did those people know what was going on?
Nixon's men were a pretty small and tight-knit group.
Someone on the inside had to be giving information to Felt.
@@AzimuthTao On one of the Nixon tapes, Felt’s name is mentioned. Something like, “Felt knows everything that goes on inside the FBI.” It wasnt an accusation; someone was pointing out that Felt held one of those types of positions in a government agency where lots of information streams are near.
Some people think that Nixon’s inner circle or Nixon himself might have surmised that Felt was DT. They had no proof and what could they do about it anyway?
Maybe the fact he was deputy director of the fbi
It was mentioned that the FBI had files on everyone. A useful tool in gaining information?
Mark Felt was Deputy Director of the FBI. He had access to damned near everything. Inside the agency he was known as the Silver Rat because of the bright grey streak in his hair and his known propensity for leaking things to the press. Nixon knew who "Deep Throat" was long before the editors at the Post gave him that nickname.
EVERY AMERICAN must watch this. Every student should see this.
