- This NBC News production, hosted by the incisive and respected Tom Brokaw, delves into the fascinating story of "Deep Throat," the secret source who helped Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein break open the Watergate scandal, ultimately leading to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Deep Throat kept his identity a tantalizing secret for more than 30 years, but the truth has finally come out. This illuminating report tells the entire story, and includes interviews with many of the scandal's most important figures. Among others, Academy Award-winning actor and director Robert Redford speaks honestly about the making of the groundbreaking film ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, while Woodward and Bernstein give Brokaw surprising in-depth interviews about the process they went through to piece together the truth and break their story.

"All the presidents Men" is still today one of the best movies I've ever watched.
Without a doubt, it was an amazing movie. It took a pretty complicated and protracted timeline of events and boiled it down in a way that was understandable and entertaining.
@@angel_machariel
@@spintowinstradic6067 It won the Oscar for Best Screenplay…. Won the Oscar for Best Art Direction… Won the Oscar for Best Sound .. Jason Robards won the Oscar for Best supporting actor….which isn’t too bad…Rocky won for Best Picture that year
And the book reads very well, like a teleprinter. You've got to keep your eye on the text as it comes out. Don't loose focus.
I'll watch it now have it on DVD! 12/10/23...........let's go! 1600 pm. Dustin Hoffman...... Jason Robards, Hal Holbrook, and of course the "star"........."The Sundance Kid!"
I hope the world can see the value of the press being the "watchdog" of government, no matter which party is in power.
Agreed. The only problem is that the press can sometimes be just as corrupt, and if we believe them too closely, they can mislead us just as easily...
👍👍👍
Unfortunately the press and the media seem like they are all in for Biden who is obviously senile. I just hope we don’t have a world war.
It doesn’t seem so
Of course, it means that the press is legitimate and without an agenda. Good luck finding that. Best bet nowadays is so-called comedy, such as Bill Maher's Reel Time, or other shows/podcasts with satirizing outlook.
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...
Watergate is no comparison to the most chaotic world we are today.
Not really.
Nazis and Nixon is the GQP today!
Absolutely...it was child's play compared to what's going in now .
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.
Best thing we can do is to not live in fear or regret but instead live a life of compassion, even for those who are brainwashed to hate and kill.
@@orangejjayboy are you delusional
We still live in a country where the person telling the truth will get into more trouble than the ones who keep the lies alive.
when did this aire?
In our parliament, one is suspended for calling someone lying or who has lied to parliament and not corrected it, a liar.
The liar is protected, the honest person is punished. Really.
I'm talking about MPs here, for clarity, in the 'house of commons'.
Sad, but true.
Trump is the biggest liar Former guy!@@93Jubilee
Corruption is not hard for the people to understand, it is just very easy for them to ignore.
From 2006. And now, 2023, everything that Nixon has done seems like a bagatelle.
Sorry, poorly educated Republicans have never heard of that word. You may wish to start them off small with the difference between Their, there, and they're first.
Yes, Traitor Trump and his degenerate family have taken Republican America-hating and lawbreaking and treason to the next level.
It's wonderful to have impartial documentarians
How I remember this as if was just yesterday, 51 years ago. My goodness, how time does fly by. This is an excellent broadcast from that time. We all can learn a lot from what transpired and occurred. Thanks for providing your audience this historical fact that occurred which brought down Richard Nixon's Presidency.
❤ I have to admit I voted for Nixon because my grandfather Republican who just died in 69. In 72 I was 18. Fool me once never again
Life. One thing led to another. And before we knew it. We were dead
@@rockodibiase6805and i get on my knees and pray. We don t get fooled again. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss
I too find many correlations to what is happening today.
@Lisa-pl6gv and and therein lies the problem stupid people think both parties are the same and they're absolutely not. Republicans get money from Big corporations Democrats do to people's work. Big difference Republicans are obstructionists.
They blatantly obstruct progress cuz it doesn't suit their needs. As opposed to We the People
It’s a wild world where Spiro Agnew was the least corrupt person in Washington.
What a weird thing to say since he was the first of these degenerates to go to prison. He was a pay-for-play criminal who actually accepted bribes at Blair House.
Yep, still less corrupt than all those other clowns.
I wish we had journalists like these today….WE DESPERATELY NEED THEM!!!!
We do have journalists like these today. The problem is that we no longer have editors and media owners like that today. The journalists try to report independently, but it's very difficult to do self-funded investigations of that scope. Support the outlets and journalists who are doing that level of investigation - Pro Publica et al.
The attention span of the average American has now been reduced to the degree that "investigative reporting" no longer exists.
we have shill puppets now…all bought and paid for
@@spidrawebsterBasically no one gives a fuck unless it touches them. But by then it's too late.
Not possible. They're all owned. Ppl lime Joe Rogan > paid 100m to do his podcast. I call it controlled opposition. He says things we common folk think sonwe "feel" like we have a voice, so we don't uprise and riot.
Fascinating. Felt is owed a debt of gratitude for what he did as Deep Throat.
@@nedanother9382 It makes me wonder if the Watergate scandal would’ve been known to the public if John Edgar Hoover had not died of a heart attack 6 weeks before the break-in…(break in was June 17, 1972 - Hoover died in early May) when you look beyond that thought - Richard Nixon was pressuring Richard Helms who was Deputy Director of Plans for the CIA into providing information to Nixon concerning the “Bay of Pigs” thing … A phrase that Nixon used to describe the Kennedy assassination… Did the CIA sabotage the burglary as a “bloodless” way of getting rid of Nixon?? People’s were told that Hoover died in his sleep which isn’t true - I read an interview with Clyde Tolson who said that Hoover had showered and shaved as was in the process of dressing for work when he dropped dead…Did the CIA replaced Hoover’s aftershave with poison that would induce a heart attack??
@@nedanother9382 All corruption should be reported on just as much as people should approach everything with objectivity. We need to stop the blind support of politicians and go back to not being enamored/polarized by rhetoric. It doesn’t matter who it is - president or city council member… a celebrity or a simple family man.
Not sure if it's in this docu but there was a mole/rat in this group. They alerted police wo they wld be caught
Justice will be served only when the unaffected are as outraged as those who are
I delivered the newspaper during this period and often read the cover stories, so I was one of a few 11 year olds in 1973 who somewhat understood what was happening. I vividly remember hearing the hoots of joy as I walked away from houses after dropping into people's front doors the paper that had the large headline "Nixon Resigns."
I am a global teacher of History, Art, Spanish, and English for 25 years; in 15 countries. You have a wonderful short story, my dear friend. I suggest you give it a go or hire a ghostwriter to record and scribe your precious memories. I love the little moments behind the scenes like you have shared; for all things history. I would write it for free...
You must have delivered the Washington Post 😅
I was 11 as well and my parents discussed it every night at our dinner table for months.
As stated above, these are the moments that the history books can never tell us about. Thanks for sharing!
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.
I’m glad Forrest Gump was there and noticed those burglars.
😂😂😂😂😂
Back when reporters actually reported - excellent documentary!
The real reporters still do and will!
How did they find out without being co-conspirators? They probably had DNC ties?
Please DO NOT place all reporters as bad just because of FoxNews, Newsmax, and America One. Conservative Republican network reporters are constantly reporting conspiracy theories to outright lies. The rest of the media ARE NOT Liberal media. They are the media. Period!
Back when news wasn't worried about ratings.
@@TonyWud or their corporate supporters …
Absolutely excellent! A "must watch" even after all these years.
I agree, I grew up at this time..with what is going on in Washington now, watergate was nothing
It takes an awful lot of courage to continue on a story when everyone says there's no story there,to have the government attacking you at press conferences,to continue when no other media outlet is following the story and in the end it must be so gratifying to be proven right.
Applications to journalism school surged in the 1970s because of Bernstein and Woodward.
also if you see the movie "The Post" you understand how strong Kathyrn Graham was
Katharine Graham - risked her newspaper and estate -
Well said
😮
This is as relevant today as ever .....
🙏🇩🇰

@@Great-Documentaries indeed!
Nice job by Brokaw.
I used to enjoy him in the old TV network news days.
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.
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.
Oh for the good old days when those in the White House and those that serve in government were held accountable. It doesn't happen these days, does it.
@@Johnconno That's my point. Nowadays we all know that politicians are essentially taking bribes from lobby groups in the form of campaign donations, insider trading, not declaring their assets, and that's just the shit we know about.
@@Johnconno Well, at least the Republicans on the Watergate investigation in the senate actually performed their duties as required. They listened to facts, made informed decisions and participated fully in the process, unlike today's GOP bimbos who only know how to lie, ignore reality and rant about anybody who isn't one of them.
and it never will. Almost all press outlets in the US are owned by 5 corporations. The US Congress and Senate are also owned almost entirely by Corporations and billionaires. The US Supreme Court is a radical partisan disaster. Our country will never return to "the good old days".
None of them served more than 2 years. Not enough punishment.
Nixon was pardoned; he was never held accountable.
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.
Fascinating to see the entire fiasco through the time tunnel of retrospection provided by the participants. Well done! 😊
This is a fascinating interview and it was good to hear and see Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein to separate them from Redwood and Hoffman. I was surprised at how calm and softly spoken Bob Woodward is. With all the political criminality and corruption thats been going on in my country (UK) for the past 13 years we badly need a Bernstein and Woodward here!
Redford lol
@@wretch1 Whoops.....never noticed that!! 🤣🤣
I watched the Watergate hearings as a young man. I was glued to the TV, but I never felt that they would get to Nixon and I felt the subsequent pardon of Nixon by Ford was a joke and that the fix was in. Even to this day I feel that Nixon should have been impeached if for no other reason than to set a precedent for bad actors like Trump
@@rontrecker8822 Nixon left just before he was to be impeached
What the UK needs more than anything NOW in 2024 (Happy New Year's Day, Everyone 1/1/2024!)
.... is a lot less Television and Newspaper media owned by Rupert Murdoch, the greatest mouthpiece for lies, deceit and misinformation on the PLANET.
I love history and this documentary is very informative and well executed. Great job
wow so do I
Me three, history repeats..
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
Thank you for posting this video. It was very entertaining, insightful and informative. Thank you.
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".
What a classy reporter
Wow! It's amazing how political history repeats itself.
Indictments in 4 States, Trump has taken it waaaay too far.
Thank you for sharing this video. Very interesting, as well as educational.
God bless 🙏
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.
You could drink at 18 then

Always one of my favorite newsmen!
Thank you for the documentary. What a repeat of things.
Great interview! ❤
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. 🙄
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?
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.
lies affords power & profit while the truth suffers contempt & persecution
I have to state how great Brokaw was. Damn.
ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN IS EXCELLENT MOVIE ON THIS SUBJECT😎😎😎😎
Think how many more the public will never know about in the past?
Thanks for this upload. Incredible history.
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.
The all good days, when integrity, honesty what the normal!
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.
Fascinating documentary, how current it all seems…
Except that Nixon got pardoned and Traitor Trump won't be.
This was very informative and very well done.
"All The President's Men" is a great read.
The Watergate work of Woodward and Bernstein is one of the best detective stories ever written. One of the first "conspiracy theories" to be proven. But ironic that Mark Felt himself would later be convicted of illegal burglary and wiretapping.
One of few conspiracy theories that is actually provable.
And a great movie, All the President’s Men
One of the few that are actually true. Most are garbage😆🥁😆
@@charlessarver1637 Agreed.
Now a public figure so much as farts and it becomes a conspiracy. To the point where people would quite literally believe that a space laser controlled by an undead Elvis causes the public figure to fart so that the bean industry could profit.
When is it not a dark time in the USA?
When Democrats are in charge.
Duh!
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.
AOXOMOXO
Not much of a defense!
@@bethriley9757I know you are but what am I. You proved your character by saying everybody does it meaning you think it is all right because you do it. Fact is there are some of us that fall into the category of just because everyone does it I will not.
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.
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.
Excellent documentary. Kudos
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
Thank you for this doc
Remember the past lest be doomed to repeat it
Great documentary. Thanks!
brill doc, thanks for uploading
I tried to watch this . Having lived through the era, it was too depressing to see it again.
this guy should have his own library.
Thank you for sharing this relic ✌️
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.
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.

Amazing docu thanks 😊
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......
I was 5 years old and every evening I would hear about Watergate. Of course I didn’t know what it meant, but every evening it seemed like I would hear Watergate,Watergate,WATERGATE!!! Now second to Covid,Covid COVID!!!!
Matatan.⭐🤔⭐. Ribirin HS,
Great documentary,
That title is AYOO
They seem fascinated by Woodward's relationship with Mark Felt. Constantly going back to it.
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.
THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW SAGA'S THAT WILL NEVER GET OLD.
THE MESSAGE HERE IS ""FOREVER RELEVENT"",,,,,,
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
Was Frank Sturgis not a Watergate burglar....
Remind you of anyone.....
Yes, Traitor Trump and his degenerate family have taken Republican America-hating and lawbreaking and treason to the next level.
A great refresher, ty. Learning a few things, too.
You have to wonder looking back at Watergate and the way they eventually broke through the wall of silence and the dominos started to fall; how close did Jim Garrison get with the JFK investigation ?
The nutcase Garrison? Who cares? He made every bit of his bullshit story up. He wasn't even trying to investigate because he knew full well Oswald acted alone.
I came for the title, I left with an education.
Imagine that. That lady was so ready to talk about someone else's business.
"They hate my guts!" Sounds familiar...
Everything is a rich man's trick
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.

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.
And today when much worse happens journalists either turn a blind eye or become part of the cover up.
What Trump is doing is ALL OVER the news. Wake up.
If you aren't happy with FauxNews, RonKalan, try watching a legitimate news channel, like CNN or MSNBC. Only Faux and other anti-American "journalists" turn a blind eye to the Republican criminals.
Tom Brokaw? There's some stellar JOURNALISM , the pinnacle of our current MSM.
This video is almost 20 years old.
When was this aired?
This leaves me only one word:
Alabaster.
"People have gotta know whether or not their President's a crook; well, I'm not a crook"
In 1972 I was a radio announcer for WGNC AM and FM in Gastonia, NC. Each day I would read the newscasts from United Press International about the Watergate story as it unfolded . It was unbelievable all the revelations that came from Deep Throat. I later read a book that was very critical of President Nixon. I wrote him a brief note of thanks for his accomplishments as president. To my surprise I received a note from him: “Dear Mr. Bigger, This is just a note to tell you how deeply I appreciated your very kind and thoughtful letter of June 27th. Mrs. Nixon joins me in sending you our very best wishes. Sincerely, (signed) Richard Nixon.” Of course, Bob and Carl had to investigate and report the crime. This is an excellent documentary.
And now, having learned nothing from history, it is destined to repeat itself 100 times worse!!!! I pray our Republic can survive.
Praying is pointless in a godless universe. *Vote* if you want democracy to survive!
Great journalism, what happened go the post?
It (and the NY Times) got even better while rags like the NY Post and Washington Times degenerated further into propaganda.
...and then Trump said, "Hold my (non-alcoholic) beer."
Boy, Felt was a little loose on his understanding of the rule of law. What he quoted from his book could be used to take away freedoms, just as much as protect them.
But on the other hand, the country owes him a great debt for being Woodward's informant!
