I’m 7 minutes in and it’s all thanking each other. I’m out.

I waited 10 minutes for the discussion to start. This guy, Bernstein, really like to hear himself talk, he went on and on and on before we get to hear from the two guests.

11:22 the "talking about what we're talking about" prefatory remarks finally stop and the actual talking finally begins.

Bob Woodward's words about knowing who you are electing sure came true.

Thank you

As an Australian who lived through the Vietnam War, this man’s comment about being in Australia and wanting to get back to USA, is “interesting” to say the least. I guess we must thank him for doing the recording.

Could’ve taken another 3-hours of that. 👍👍

Mr. Woodward was spot-on when discussing the 2016 election and knowing who these people are, (presidential candidates). I think the press did a fabulous job exposing Trump, while Trump exposed (to put it mildly) Clinton, but even that was still not enough to get non-registered voters to register and vote, and registered voters to vote. So, in a perfect world, the press adequately exposes candidates, while citizens perform their duty and vote. Whereas in reality, non-voters determined the 2016 election results and is why we are where we are now!

A NEARLY 12-MINUTE "INTRODUCTION"? NOBODY came to hear YOU, dude...!!

He told the truth for the country, you don’t serve a man you serve the people of these United States. 🇺🇸

Happy this is available but wow, the first presenters monotone voice is beyond hard to listen to. Turning it off

@sashek8451 3 years ago

Bernstein gahhhhh you couldn’t have let Butterfield answer the last freaking question!? 🤦‍♀️

@denniscassley2569 7 years ago

ANOTHER EXAMPLE of an emcee, moderator, whatever, thinking IT'S ABOUT HIM!! It's like "open mic" at a wedding. SHUT UP and get to the subject of the meeting/presentation.

It's unfair, if predictable, that Alex Butterfield faced acrimony from ex-colleagues following his confirmation of Nixon's taping system. As he said, he was asked the direct question. What else was he supposed to do - lie and perjure himself?

What about Obama and Biden?

Fast Forward to January, 2026:
History taught us absolutely nothing. 😒

@aly9896 7 years ago

Woodward likes to constantly interrupt and get his views across. I would much rather hear more from Mr. Butterfield about what happened from his point of view. We have already heard what Mr. Woodward has to say, from many sources.

@NunyaDammeBiznis 5 years ago

John Dean testified before Alex Butterfield. He stated that he thought the conversations were recorded. When Mr. Butterfield testified, they asked him if there were recording devices. Wonder where they got that from? I don't.
