- 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.
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!
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.
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.

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.

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
Looks like DJT had a troop of brown shirts working for him!
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is terrifying
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.
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.
Thank you so much Martha Raddatz and Jonathan Karl, for the work that you do.
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.
Inconceivable that those thugs are free
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.
...yet...
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! 🚫🍊
Thank you both for this wonderful archive! Truth in journalism is a cornerstone of our democracy!
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!
Finally the TURE is coming out. How sweet it sound. Great interview.
Vietnam Veteran 1968-1970
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.
Great conversation - we can’t ever stop asking and discussing these important questions. Even though it may appear to be giving Trump the airplay he enjoys so much, it would be a mistake to let up for one second.
Absolutely!
Johnathan Karl is the main man!

I would be reassured if it was the final act of the Trump show.
Johnathan Karl - you’re correct. I am one of those people who would vote for anyone over Trump. I would rather be ruled by the Crown than by Trump!
The crown and trump actually are not different from each other. One ruler over another ruler. The crown seems for the people but really are not. We must be very careful for what we wish for. Why do we always think we need a king?
Traitor ⚔️🕺
@@davidwilkes5113 You’re right, trump absolutely is.
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.
Thank you for this interview ... truly engaging and information. Appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it!
People should take notice, if this autocrat gets in again, all of us will suffer.
I think we get it...give us some credit
One thing that has happened is that quite a bit of the build back better infrastructure stimulus packages (?) are being implemented/this will save and make the next Republican president look fantastic and basically they were dead against it..?..!..🤷♂️
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.
Great interview.
And so why is the Orange madman not in prison?
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.
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!
I'd vote for a stray cat over Donald Trump! Thanks for this one.
God forbid that President Biden dies before the next election but if he does I'll still vote for him over tRump
Shows how misinformed you are
Sure
You didn’t get a cat but you did get a snake 🐍
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.

Thank you Jon Karl
Victory to America 🇺🇸
The childish email thing is meaningless. But GOPs will use anything. That they get away with it is putrid.
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,
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!
Some good clarity. Reasoned rational calm factual discussion. Not the hell-fire and loud angry emotional tirades of lies and BS one gets from Trump supporters.

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
I fear 😨 this won't be his fineal act. Trump is a very scary 😨 individual.
I hope you are wrong, but as it stands now there is a good chance Trump could be nominated for president and win the 2024 election.
Remember the song “Monster” by Steppenwolf - “now its a monster and will not obey.”

I'm, especially, interested in what his Learning disabilities will turn out to be.
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.
The whole administration needs to be investigated.
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.
Thank you for all you do
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.
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!
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?
Every news organisation should report that at least for a month its that import end
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

Yea, why wasn’t it a long time ago. I put the media on a list of people to blame. Not talking about fox that’s a given
Thank you ❣
I stand in awe of these two. I'm seated, actually, but you get the point.
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.
Thank you both.
I’m an insignificant nobody. However, I have questions that most of us have, “If Trump is such a bad guy, why is he still free?”. We’ve all watched him for years, heard about the bad things for which he is responsible, his speeches, his antics around the White House time. We ask ourselves, “Why isn’t he in jail?”. His followers are saying, “He must be right. He’s not a criminal or he’d be in jail. Let’s follow his lead”. He is free to grift, and lie, and command the New Republicans. He lives like a king. So, if US Democracy is dying, did he kill it? So, if he orchestrated a coup, a bona fide act of treason, then why has no one prosecuted him? Until he’s in jail, all this, Kicking a Dead Horse, is just more of the same old BS. TEXAS
It's coming.
Now is the time to for all good men to come to the aid of their country
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?
@@peterdelappe4258 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.
@@markbrainard5250 Agree. 💯%.
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?
Why don't they admit that Trump is soo insane...that...
HEAR the PRIDE of the ignorant who ALL state, “I like to do my own research, using the internet.”

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.
