- Before Deep Throat came into the picture, Martha Mitchell discovered the truth behind the Watergate break-in and told her story to the press.
About Drunk History:
Based on the popular web series, Drunk History is the liquored-up narration of our nation's history. Host Derek Waters, along with an ever-changing cast of actors and comedians, travels across the country to present the rich tales that every city in this land has to offer. Booze helps bring out the truth. It's just that sometimes the truth is a little incoherent.

So she was gaslighted by the government and a bunch of people around her and she still believed that she was sane and telling to truth? Props to her for being so mentally strong.
Ikr she's so strong. I would have never managed.
@Moni Pampeloni - *"So she was gaslighted by the government"* - If by the "government" you meant the Republican party, then yes.
@@ajmeyers5661 well that was the goverment at the time pretty much
@@ajmeyers5661 1----] p
this is just what I came down here to comment on. this video should be titled "nixon and the govt gaslight martha mitchell"
Steve King, the guy who held her in the hotel room, has remained a lifelong republican. for the last 2 years, he's been the US ambassador to the Czech Republic, appointed by Trump. Just thought i'd throw that in.
WTH
He needs to get full blown AIDS today.
😂
@@tranzco1173
😂 Can't believe he doesn't already have it
He should never be appointed.
dude couldn't even hold a girl against his will, he calls himself a republican, should be fired!
Interviewer: “what would you say your ambitions are?”
Me: “I want them to make a Drunk History about me some day.”
You can do it, Matt!
Life goals
IRL.... I just sneezed... while
drinking....
Does that help qualify me ... for telling.... yourrrr ...*sniff*
... 😲.. 😣... 😖
💥
🤧...
story ..?!
🥴🥃
☺️
That’s a high minded goal, and I’m in favor of it. One day, I would like to play a part in that Drunk History episode about CZcams commenter man who changed the internets forever.
this is the best
Impressed that Comedy Central did, in fact, pay for the rights.
They played 2 seconds of it, you can play small clips of a song like that without paying for rights.
curious how much "its been one week" cost on a 20 yr old song, its essentially an text alert, not even a ringtone lol
First of all that’s not that impressive, especially for such an exceedingly wealthy network. And secondly, as others pointed out but I’m going to mention anyway because I already said “first if all”, you don’t have to pay for the rights if you only play a few seconds. So either way you’d be wrong. Lol yes it feels good to point out your error and yes I feel superior now
Zebulous superior idiot, contrats.
@@nebulousisgod Exceedingly wealthy network? I bet CC's employees would laugh their asses off if they read your comment.
The fact that I actually learn from these drunk history snippets makes them that much more amazing. 🤣
Really, they seem brilliantly done and don't spare much on the details. I enjoy them too.
Agreed! Although they don’t always give the complete stories (good bad and ugly) of the person. It’s good to lean and then go research what I just learned☺️
Even though they leave out super important info at times- research after this is important lmaoooo
I know I have learned a thing or two from this program. History can be fun
Sooo basically they listened bc a man said it and tried to make a woman sound crazy for it. Sounds familiar
They weren't the same man, hon. Not even close. The guys who broke the story later were going AFTER Nixon, not partnering with him.
Serai3 I’m talking about how Mitchell’s info/Helen Hunts original article was ignored
Sure does.
Like Hannibal Buress: Cosby's a rapist. 80 women: WE ALREADY TOLD YOU FFS
Mike Mondano Not a higher percentage than crazy and dishonest men who roam free. You make men seem so pathetic.
Okay am I the only one who loves the fact that John Early outfit matches the decor of his living room he looks like he's in a Wes Anderson movie
Wayne Hayes it’s my favorite part about this, the intro had my attention IMMEDIATELY! lol
YES!
👏👏Wes Anderson’s mise-en-scene relaxes the brain.
dude knows his color coordination i gotta give props
The lengths she went to to spill the tea..... she has my full respect
imagine if she had a tea channel
Literally almost everything she said is still true sit in that a bit….
Someone needs to make a movie about MARTHA MITCHELL!!! She was amazing!!!! See her real interviews... she just spoke from her heart with all honesty..
+
she was pretty much a rat, in all honesty
The courier k...we all appreciate your brave honesty. 😐
@@grilledsleaze Snitches get stitches fam
I just came here to watch this after seeing the teaser trailer for "Gaslit", a Starz series about this starring Julia Roberts as Martha!
This is more messed up than I expected.
Also: Vanessa Bayer is a treat to behold.
Also: Martha Was Right.
Are you watching I Love That for You?
She became an enemy of the state and was gaslighted by the government just to get out that hot goss because it was the truth. A true American heroine. Thanks sis
That was sweet.
Martha Mitchell? More like Martyr Mitchell.
The Martha Mitchell effect is the modus operandi for US institutions. We're still fighting, Martha, and we're not gonna goddamn stop.
Poor Martha! I love how when we're taught about Watergate in school, ALL the credit is given to Woodward, Bernstein and Deepthroat. They played a major role, but imagine if women had actually been respected or taken seriously at that time - the world would have known about Watergate way before those guys came along.
EXACTLY what I was going to write! Woodward and Bernstein got AWARDS for that s***! AND a movie with Robert Redford in it! I think...🕴
@@geekdivaherself and Martha just got tranquilized.
Wow. Talk about trying to gaslight her
Gaslighting so hardcore it went all the way to professional psychologists.
4:50 "I'm gonna sneeze again..."
*SNEEZES - falls over* Like a pro: _does not spill drink_
Not one drop!! 🤣😂🍸
Sneezing into his hand 🤢
lol 190 people are blind, he did spill.
@@jpatrick4373 True-ish. A bit jumped out when he sneezed, but that glass stayed pretty level and upright as he tumbled over.
Poor ol' Martha. I remember that crap about her being an alcoholic. Even as a kid, it sounded fishy to me.
Do we appreciate this man who confined Martha against her will, Steve King, is today Trump's Ambassador to the Czech Republic? WTF? Trump can't help but attract the kind of men who dose women.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_King_(ambassador)
Working with Trump is dangerous, people have families to think about. Trump has to take what he can get. The local Times where I'm from posted the neighborhoods with the most Trump supporters after the 2016 elections, people won't even privately admit to liking Trump anymore.
@@ralphgilmore5407 what's wrong with his teeth in that wiki picture??
Cthulhu Christ lmaooooo.....you must live in a liberal bubble to come away with that anecdote, not at all true where I live, or for anyone in a red state not in a liberal college town or metropolitan area I’m sure!
@@sapphireheart5757 Those liberal bubbles are where the majority population of the United States lives.
Guys, Martha's High School Yearbook quote was "Love its gentle warble, I love its gentle flow, I love to wind my tongue up, And I love to let it go." I really admire anyone who picks a Yearbook quote that they can truly live by.
“It’s the late 60’s,it’s the early 70’s”
*SMASHES LIKE BUTTON*
😂😂😂
Riiiight? And cool tv @7:27 huh? Hate the look of a flat screen tv. Never will own one.
The way he uses “that’s so punk rock”, is so punk rock

“What’s you’re name”
“I never had one”

linden THANKS FOR THE LINK.
It’s one of my favorite sketches
Tortinos tortinos hot pizza rolls tortinos tortinos everybody talkin bout tortinos
Why does almost everyone in his story have a southern accent 😂
Because Martha Mitchell was a southerner
@@jessicavictoriacarrillo7254 Martha Mitchell is one thing, but the doctor in California???
Because John Early is from Tennessee.
Here is a interview with her , the portrayal of her is closer than you think lol
czcams.com/video/45j9jbDwbnA/video.html
I love the funeral flower arrangement. Even from the grave she was laughing
This is PEAK Drunk History.
Crazy thing is this whole Martha Mitchell story is true. The clip did fail to mention John Mitchell had been the US Attorney General
🤯
“How to make a jello mold... touch his taint if you want to make him c**...” 😂😂😂😂
I remember 1972 that's when the war gay. Cat I love our Gorn knew that he was in those two women I got the wrong guy excuse me my history is a little fuzzy we remember it was he there at this whole thing that he knew about it not just John Mitchell Robbie with the Stars see you I don't want to be you
@@deborahskillman3003 I... I have no idea what the hell you're saying, but damn do I feel like I'm missing out on some good shit.
@SirThopas3 Hahahahahaha, Haaaaaaaaaa 😂 I wish I knew what she was trying to say! 😭
I was reading that at the exact moment it was said. Made it 10x funnier!
@@deborahskillman3003 Well said.
6:44 Did anyone else realize that the articles in the Women's Section was just the transcript from an old Bob Ross episode?🤣😂
Omg lol
I saw that! I only found out because I really wanted to see what the 'touch his taint" item said! :P
I didn't catch all of it, but I just saw "Mountains are simple."
Daisy Mitchell was used and treated like garbage,, her story is super heartbreaking.. She was trying to keep people aware of what was really going on in the govt,, she started talking about what was going on during cocktail parties, that's when the media started saying she was nuts... she did drink BUT her creepy husband made it look like she was a drunk and crazy, which she was not,, just to cover up her truth...
Crazy that they drop these on youtube a day before they air on comedy central. Crazier that steve king is still alive. Not at all surprised trump appointed him for ambassador to the Czech republic.
He’s around the same age as trump, so I’m surprised trump is still alive tbh
He also represented Wisconsin on the Republican National Committee front 2007-2017. Apparently DC has never given a s@#!.
He probably has him drugging women
They don't mention that John Mitchell was also Nixon's Attorney General.
I’m so glad my nickname isn’t “The Mouth”
Or "Deep Throat"
I know! It makes me appreciate my college nickname all the more: Drunken Liar.
I wouldn't like it either, but, if it was, I'd own it.
I'm so bummed my nickname isn't "The Mouth".
You don't have to whisper.
Speaks softer
Vanessa Bayer!! Miss her on SNL so much
me too
Hap.
I miss her as חתן בר המצווה the Bar-Mitzva Boy
Zaid Jamal same here
I came here while watching the 8 part mini-series (May 2022) "Gaslit" on STARZ with Julia Roberts and Sean Penn as Martha and John Mitchell.
Martha was right.
Y'ALL!!
This was hilarious
but those "Martha was Right" flowers gave me the chills! Very cool.
I need that pink lighting in my living room.
"The Martha Mitchell effect" For anyone called delusional, but is in fact telling the truth!
This actually happened to me. My mother was murdered by Adult Protective Services to protect a nursing home. They made me look crazy.
@@zippydodahquirk9039 Read!
@@zippydodahquirk9039 I believe you!
I see my girl Vanessa...I click. It's simple, really.

Same 😂

@Gene H Water that mouth! Hap.
Yes
Damn is that buster Bluth nice to finely see him settled down with a nice wife!
Oh shit, you're right
Yupp, Baby buster
Buster was on Veep
😂😂😂
And he looks so handsome here!
Something about the host...It's like I feel like I can chill with him but also like he is ready to murder me at any moment.
That's what a meaningful friend is like, I find.
That musical intermission was perfect.
I'm horrified that I am learning that a woman was dehumanized and painted as a lunatic and that it is actually called "The Martha Mitchell Effect" on DRUNK HISTORY, after years of my own parents doing this exact thing to me as punishment for accusing a relative of sexual abuse of me and all of my cousins when we were between the ages of 3 and 7 years old.
We should get John Oliver to talk about Brexit 😂😂
I really hope that part of her celebrating Nixon’s resignation is true. She more than earned that.
My aunt and uncle were whistle blowers during watergate! This shit was crazy
His final sentence has something poetic to it. When he says "She's the reason we..." you expect something world changing that happened because of her. But then he finishes with "... know about Watergate." Because that's really all that happened. We know about the Crimes, but nothing has changed to prevent stuff like that from happening again. Corruption and crime are still rampant in American Politics.
It just goes to show that the truth will always find a way out. I love these so much!
But it doesnt always get out
What heroic Woman. God bless her Soul.🌹🕊
Touch his taint was the most important story on that paper... And it is still ignored till this day
Was she pressing buttons on a rotary phone???😳😬😂
Wearing Stan Smith Adidas....skimming the ledge
Girl. I thought they was keds😂😂😂 #notypo. Great catch.
*sneezes doesn’t spill drink* “OWE MA GAWD Y’ALL”
Anyone else come back here to rewatch this after seeing the trailer for "Gaslit?" I'm so excited to see it! I hope they do the story justice.
Cant wait
Watching Gaslit AND I Love That for You.
I love how Derek himself is in all the skits lol
I'm loving all these pretty phones
New band name alert! ...Martha was right.
"Hi we're the Martha was rights and we're here to be the lid off this joint!"
05:41 _I’m here for the free __#BareNakedLadies__ concert_
🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
okay, having watched most of the other "Drunk history" series, I must say that Vanessa is by far the best who did the portrayal!
she's hilarious and yet convincing!
also I think she did the best job at lip syncing out of all other actors in other episodes.
the creators should definitely consider inviting her again to play somebody else
Tony Hale (John Mitchell) was great too! This episode was top notch.
Why am I crying over “MARTHA WAS RIGHT”??
omg yess the song and all gave me shivers!
John Early saying "YAAAAAWL" lives in my head rent free.
Some of the shit my profession did in the past is so embarrassing and I work to make amends with every client I see... Never again will psych professionals disrespect the people they serve under my watch.
Believe people. Organized crime exists. Government coverup exists. Some people are in danger and have legitimate reasons for what appears to doctors as paranoia or delusions.
A good first step is never hold people against their will while swamping them with thousands in medical charges. Psychiatric hospitals frequently used as prisons when the individual can't be arrested for a crime.
My car was towed while i was in one and by the time they released me i could not afford to get it out. Horrible injustice.
*and that’s the end. Thank you for having me* 😂😂😂😂
All those sneezes, didn’t spill his drink, that’s a true champ lolz
Alright.. is there a paper that needs to be signed so that john can tell all of the drunk histories stories. ? I'd sign it
Stunning comedy. This inspires me!!!!!!!
Martha Mitchel the Mouth, love her to bits but pleased I don’t live next door! 😂😂😂💙
“She is like kept in her hotel for a week.”
“It’s been- *sorry”*
One of the funniest Drunk Histories I’ve watched 😂 The GOP is holding me prisoner yaaaaa’ll!
was Vanessa chosen for this part because of the 'Mouth' part?
I was just thinking that. She has a very distinctive mouth... I really hope that didn't come off creepy
So much pink pastels this is like the golden girls in bizarro world 💁🏼♀️
Thank u for reading my mind
The “How to make a Jello Mold” article reads like a Bob Ross transcript.
And now her story is up for an Oscar!!
There's a TV show about this now called "Gaslit" with Julia Roberts!
so like, was anything i was taught in school actually fact?
My history teacher once told me that a fact is a commonly agreed upon opinion. So yes, they were all facts. Doesn't make them true, tho
@@kissit012
There are different kinds of things we colloquially call "facts" and some are agreed upon opinions, yes. If your teacher meant you should think carefully about what is presented as "factual" then s/he is very right.
But not all facts are a matter of opinion. For example, on Earth we experience gravity.
The United States used to have legal slavery.
There is a hurricane over the Atlantic right now.
A true "fact" should be consistent with objective reality and independently verifiable via observable phenomena.
I'm not attacking you or your teacher, but we live in a dangerous time, when the concept offacts and objective truth is being deliberately eroded in online discussion, so we have to be very careful.
Is the mitochondria REALLY the powerhouse of the cell? 🤔
If I see another drunk history I might actually quit drinking
".. and I'm complicit in a waaay" 😭😭
Died when they played one week omg
Sounds like classic gaslighting
That "to martha" at the end made this whole video that much better.
I feel so bad what She had to experience. Wow
I would think that what they did was kidnapping, fraud, and abuse. If that was me I would've gotten a lawyer and sued them and had them put in jail for what they did to her. I don't think it's funny what happened to her. That was downright criminal.
"I'M COMPLICIT IN A WAY" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That killed me.
“Honey... you’re CRAZY” 🤣 my favorite part
Derek: You don't have to whisper
John: *speaks even quieter*
When you learn more about American history from comedy central than your actual AP Us History class 😬😩
Just found this today! Amzing
this is my fave ep.
Okay so I need a shirt that has a graphic of the “Martha Was Right” wreath in my life ASAP.
Where is our Martha Mitchell?
George Conway?
@@YaohanChen
Maybe?
I don't really trust him,
but we never know who may come through I guess
probably being sedated and held in a mental hospital
@@FortheLoveofMonsters 😂
@@FortheLoveofMonsters wait we should seriously check the hospitals
I love drunk history because you're laughing and learning!
This was great. Thank you for the history lesson
Its impressive how he doesnt spill his drink
John Early is absolutely everything
9:04 after all that the way they made it end like that was brilliant 😂😂
This was sooo good, y'awwwl!!!
This reminded me of Kristen Wiig's impersonation of Paula Deen y'all on SNL!!!
Martha Mitchell is like the Tom Holland of 70's politics.
😂
I need more of this guy. 😂👏🏼
i LOVE john early sm.... the minute he said ”hello...” i KNEW
