Would love for that fourth book to be called "Consequences".
ditto. but fourth. or at least, 'forth-coming.'
Overdue
"Punishment."
How about Truth AND Consequences?
“Crime and Punishment” taken?
Thank you General Millie and to all the other Clark Kent’s quietly working to keep us safe.
Bob Woodward is fascinating to listen to.
He's a storyteller.
If we carve a "Mount Rushmore" for journalists, Woodward has to be up there.
He managed to convince the manipulator into telling all. 👏
@@asgharabbas2193 More like a fabricator...
I love him!
Our deepest Thanks to General Milley for keeping his Oath to protect our Democracy and the Nation.
Totally and Nancy Pelosi should be credit in this too
Milley should be tried for treason
He'll resign and or go to jail...
@@Zarcon2008 I’m sure you’ll wake up at some point.
He’s protecting our nation and democracy by making foreign calls to the Chinese Communist Party in order to usurp power from the President? No wonder the entire left wing is so brain dead 😂

Hold them ALL accountable. Trump, the perpetrators, and those complicit (which includes Senators who still try to block investigations).
They did. WE elected the wrong Senators.
Trump the lord of the lies
Traitors all!! Plain and simple!
@@pa7957 Satan is called, "The Great Deceiver ". American churches follow him, knowing his lies. Those pastors look and talk "off".
Having this type of mounting evidence, yes, ALL of them must be held accountable, indicted, convicted and prosecuted.
2:44 "The one courageous person..." What about lieutenant colonel Vindman, etc.?
Different situation and part of the timeline. Vindeman had nothing to do with Jan 6th.
Vindman in recently reported comments actually repudiated Milley for inserting himself into the operational chain of command and said he should resign. Vindman is a hero, but he's a victim too. Milley is a hero too but he still has a job.
I don't like him, but i think Pence did show some courage as well. And so did the republican official in Georgia that refused to "find" the 11000 "missing" votes DT needed to win the state
@@PetterssonRobin Pence = courage, that's as funny as f***. Pence had to be talked down by his staff and Dan Quayle FFS. All the so called Republican 'hero's' have been shunned and punted by their tribe.
@@danielhostetler9493 Hadn't realized the scope was so limited, but you're probably right. Milley was trying to stop potential issues in the few days left in the term after the failed riot plot.
We are blessed to have such capable reporters who so quickly manage to find out what was going on behind the scenes and so ably convey to us all not only what happened but also why it all happened. Democracy really does die in darkness, so we owe respect and gratitude to all those who toil to shine a bright light on the crucial events of our times.
Don't fool yourself, democracy is dead and has been for quite a while.
“Reporters”...no, they are propagandists who mislead and lie incessantly
@@danielhostetler9493 That's a cheap Russian talking point, contradicted by what we have all seen unfold in the United States in recent times, as Democracy ultimately prevailed, and an attempted coup was thwarted thanks to the safeguards specifically put in place to prevent it. Granted, the risk was such that even greater safety measures should be deployed wherever possible both in the U.S. as well as here in Europe, but that's only because Democracy is worth defending with all the strength and resources we have, not because our current systems' safeguards failed us in any major way.
@@paoloadam "All hail the Queen, and her royal family" yes democracy isn't dead at all. 🤣
@@makinbacongreasyagain968 That's a cheap Trumpian talking point, which especially in these circumstances really needs no push back, as Bob Woodward has a lifetime worth of work that speaks for itself, and attests to his integrity and credibility. He has never been partisan in any way, and has been just as great at giving us insight into Democratic presidents as he gave us into Republican ones. If Nixon and Trump are cast in such a negative light that's on them and on their actions, not on those who accurately portrayed them in the annals of history.
In any civilized society, Don the Con would be in prison. So, the fact such person is still walking around speaks volumes about America's legal system, about America's moral and ethical standards.
You are so right and let’s face it as average Americans we are all sick of having two sets of laws, one for the rich white men and one for the rest of us poor suckers.
Amen... it's really unbelievable
If that were really true Joe And is crack head son would have been in prison some time ago...
💯%
I think that part of the problem rests in how the bodies which investigated and then tried Trump in our impeachment process have been shown to be politically skewed so that actual justice is not possible. Because it is not a legal proceeding, but, rather a political proceeding the standards of law were not applied. The Republican Party was able to simply refuse to consider evidence, documents and witness testimony they didn't like. In a jury in an actual trial such jurors would have been excused from participation.
The Lesson - Democracy is fragile. We, the people, need to protect it.
And not just every 4 years. Every year. Every election.
! Our country is broken! Wake up!
Why don't you critisize both parties? Theyre both corrupt as hell! Owned by special interests. Media divides and manipulates us, right vs left. Common folk fight over crumbs.
Nothing will change, unless you make a plan. Vote, even if it's a protest vote (write-in). WRITE or call your Senator and Representative today and DEMAND (ESPECIALLY) anti-corruption laws , improvement of inequality, better wages, ban lobbying, better healthcare or you'll vote them out. Both parties are corrupt as hell but we need to fight to take back our country. Politicians will care if they fear your vote.
Similar to democracy, an egg is easily broken from the inside. Just make certain the hatchling isn't a dragon.
How is assisting murdering Communists protecting Democracy ?
Democracy fell when the military and intelligence operatives undermined attempted to overthrow the elected president that didn't represent their interests.
General Milley is an American HERO! Thank you General for putting America first!
3 reasons Trump won't Concede EVER :
1. He is milking his supporters till last drop.
2. His Narcissistic Ego won't let him admit Defeat.
3. Afraid of going to Prison.
4. he lives in a FANTASY BUBBLE, one which is actually ENABLED by his supporters - who also live in his fantasy bubble!
@@DaveWhoa trump knows the truth, he is far more manipulative and controlling then anyone gives him credit for. Like all con men he understands how to con the masses, how to get his cult to continue giving him cash and adoration and once they stop as a last ditch he will tell them to drink the coolaid
I'd add one more reason: 4) He has an entire political institution in the palm of his hand because the constituency of that institution are incapable of seeing him as the crook he truly is.
Malignant narcissists NEVER admit that they're wrong.
And ppl are sponges to be used & thrown away.
@@ChrisAlbertH47 to add a little more to your point, his supporters know he defends their privilege and their failing power, he supports their right to be stupid, science ignoring racist clowns. Once he disappears, a huge section of America has to adapt or to finally give up its hold on its privilege.
General Milley IS my hero. He is a Patriot 🇺🇸
Hero worship and patriotism (nationalism) is what helps cause this danger. Do you know anything else about Milley?
Lol..
@@NathanCroucher Hero worship, huh? Sounds like what we see every day from Trump supporters.
Did you forget Miley is the one who gassed the protesters for trumps photo opt. He also authorized that drone strike that killed an american aid worker and his 7 children. Then lied and said there was a secondary explosion that killed civilains proving it had bombs inside. It was water, it wasn't a terrorist. They authorized the stike, even with a secondary drone In the area and seeing the children come out of the residential home, in a residential area. Yes, what a hero for speaking out against Trump. Pathetic.
Amen to the statement about General Milley.
He is a true Patriot indeed.
We can't let this stuff go. The fight isn't over I fear.
Never thought I'd heap so much praise, but thank god for general Milley! America needs more like him.
Milley is definitely a true American hero!
NOT
Unless it was a democrat/progressive in office 🙄
Do you live in the US?
He’s a hero for committing treason? You’re so stupid 💀
Theincrediblezit
Treason? Trump has committed actual treason so many times we've stopped counting. Inciting a crowd to riot and take over Congress, with the deliberate reason being to stop the constitutionally mandated vote, is ABSOLUTELY treasonous. The funny part is that none of those idiots, after he said, "I'll be there with you" realized that he immediately got into a bullet-proof car with his protection unit and went back to the comfort of the Whitehouse- while his goons went looking for Pence with a noose. Don't talk to me about Milley and treason. Milley was courageous and acting for the country. Trump, as always, was chickenshit and acting for himself.
All this information close to center of that administration and where it was going, yet not one politician or govt employee who helped Jan. 6th become a reality are being held accountable! I'm personally really fed up with how the whole system is set up currently. Change is needed somehow!
Agreed! I keep replaying the very empassioned speech that Attorney General Garland gave during his confirmation hearings about all this country has meant to his family and I think....what a complete load of crap! He is guaranteeing that things will never improve, that next time there will be better plans and less mistakes. The simple facts are that both sides LOVE what happened. It keeps people from focusing on the erosion of freedom, the creation of a police state and the loss of any power in the process...they've turned us into unnecessary hassle that keeps them from having to own the failings or fix things.
The problem is the system is set up to protect its own. This happens on both sides not just one. It's the reason they also don't go after each other literally, just in words to feed a culture war. To go after the other side, opens your side as well. We all know both sides are corrupt and have loads of shady dealings with different power interest. They won't gain anything, by having all their dirty secrets aired. You won't get change from voting for "The establishment of either side", and if you vote someone new in they find out how it works real quick and fall in line. Becoming "The establishment".
As sad as it is, I think you’re confusing politics and crime. Obviously crime has a very high standard on purpose, and since Trump was not present you would have to prove intent. But the larger consideration is the optics and ethics of locking up ones political rival. That shouldn’t happen in a democracy. It would appear as a subversion of democracy. Yes, irony. I know that with parliamentary systems, anything that is said on the floor of the house is shielded from legal action it is deemed a greater risk to censor the representatives of the people. That’s why to truly defeat him, it has to be through a popular rejection. I believe the courts have established the correct space for resolving political conflict is in the political sphere. He needs to be a loser not a martyr. I did read that a person can still run for president from prison.
Patience. In investigating a criminal case you go with the low hanging fruit first.
Jan. 6th committee has subpoenas going out next week. Let's hold the insurrectionists accountable.
What about the credit that Dan Quayle deserves?
I can't believe I would ever write that sentence.
IKR
The world's weirdest footnote.
I remember not being impressed by Quayle as VP but thank God he knew the Constitution and didn't mince words. And Double Thank God Pence listened to him and not Trump.
Well, he's no Jack Kennedy, but at least he got one thing right.
@@Highley1958 I understood that reference. lol
This November, before you carve the turkey, remember to say you are thankful for ALL the people in the federal government who acted as firewalls to prevent Trump's stupidity and corruption from spreading more than it did.
@USN Patriot I mean, if you want to see Reince Priebus, Steve Bannon, Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, Sean Spicer, and Michael Flynn as well as The Annoying Orange Loser himself to die horrible deaths in front of DJTJ and Ivanka (because nobody cares about Eric), that's on you, man.

It is important to note that Millet did not change the nuclear codes or procedures but merely reminded everyone that he was in the chain of command.
I guess you should know since you were there right? Not everything is mentioned
I would love the fourth book to be called 'incarceration'
Thank you Speaker Pelosi for raising the red flag when you cautioned General Milley about Trump erratic behavior.
Milley had to stand up because no one else could to what needed to be done. He serves to protect the citizenry, not Trump.
I know what you mean, it is like trying to serve lucifer, and the followers of Christ at the same time. A real daming conflict.
@@gvhansen1 No. No conflict here. He saw a threat and responded.
@JHawx Rok After Pelosi's call that is..
Were Milley's actions justified legally or within the scope of his powers granted by the constitution? YES OR NO. If yes, please explain.
He upheld his oath to protect the Constitution against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC
I wish I would have known what the good General was doing a long time ago, all that sleep I could have had.
Ha! Good one!
True
We had a few good generals. We train them right. Mattis slept in his uniform multiple times so he was available to defuse random crisis created by a crazy person.
They are both Conservative men mostly. But conservative in the right way. Steely eyed. Focused on realistic threats. Not interested in cultural grievance. Respectful of the constitution to which they have sworn oaths. Immune to the passions of the age. The right kind of people for dark times.

"the one courageous person was gen. milley"
goes on to reveal it was speaker pelosi who urged and pushed gen. milley into action.
maybe she should get some credit? IDK, IJS.
She only asked for confirmation which Milley gave. I think he was being cautious with her until she pushed him.
She is a witch… he should have told her to bug off. Some military leader… leader of the opposition forcing you to stab the president in the back
She convinced milley that trump was going to nuke China? She is an unstable person… that has put American in a vulnerable spot. Her personal vendetta and thirst for power has put America on its heels. China no longer rejects America. Infighting and backstabbing… they won the lottery when that general told them that he would warn them… and he stopped military manners in the South China Sea… do you think that China warned the USA when they crushed Hong Kong? Do you think the general will be informed when they take Taiwan? Is China stopping military action around Taiwan? Not even close. Wake up. That witch attempted a coup… no more no less. It was so done behind his back. All the decisions that Biden has done in foreign policy… pelosi says it’s good… really? Border crisis? Afghanistan? Allowing Russia to complete their pipeline? Stopping the keystone pipeline? She is power hungry… does not have America’s interest… only her Party.
Maybe she was acting out of order. Maybe she will get us all killed along with FAKE NEWS.
Milley and Pelosi. Bastions of governmental nads and ovarios for 4 years straight. Slings and arrows be damned. Hats off to Mary Cheney and the handful of GOP that stood their moral ground as well.
Liz, not Mary. :)
What a pathetic and idiotic view. Brainwashed by the media, no ability to think independently.

Trump never was a particularly effective entrepreneur. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates have nothing to fear from the demise of Trump.
I voted for Hillary Clinton over trump in 2016. Reason being, I thought it a bad idea for a crazy man to have control of our nuclear arsenal.
Who else is with me on this?
i was one that never voted, but i never believed trump would win in2016. i made sure to vote in2020 and i will vote in the midterms
@@dougmiller4251 Me too. The only difference is that it started in 2016 for me. I blame Trump for getting me in the politics in the first place.
Yes, I voted for Hillary. I've never mailed back my ballot so quickly. I could not believe the Republicans actually ran that turd. My older daughter mailed back her ballot almost as quickly, but my younger daughter never voted, because she had been duped by the bernie brats. While the older one and I were yelling at her, "vote no", she said "Don't worry, that weird old guy can't win." I wish she'd been right.
@@deborahfreedman333 I was a big Bernie supporter and thought Clinton was a horrible candidate, but when it came time to vote in the 2016 General Election, it didn’t take much intelligence to know that Trump had no business even being a candidate. When friends complained that voting for Clinton was choosing the lesser of two evils, I reminded them that, even if they believed that was true, any sane person would always choose less evil vs. more evil.
Our presidential election system is so strange! I voted in 2016, on the ballot, for Gary Johnson. But, since the entire state's votes (usually) go to the majority (plurality) winner, then your real vote goes to whomever your Electors vote for. So I guess my vote in Washington state actually counted for Hillary Clinton - oh, and Colin Powell and Faith Spotted Eagle!
But then again, I was living outside of the US in 2010, so I was not counted in the census (which determines number of Congressional seats, and hence, number of presidential Electors and relative influence of the state's vote). So maybe my vote for Gary Johnson/Hillary Clinton/Colin Powell/Faith Spotted Eagle didn't really have any weight after all.
God bless General Milley. Can’t say it or think it or pray it enough.
Milley should be tried for treason
@@RayJacobsenJr yep, trying to prevent armageddon because of one insane, corrupt narcissist is definitely grounds for treason 🙄

It's a sad view of the US power structure, when authors are counted on to (belatedly) tell Americans what went on behind closed doors. Not one Trump aide had the courage or patriotism to tell the danger going on at the time. It comes out, months later, in books.
If it was so bad…. Why did it take months to come out in a book? So he could sell a book…. If he reported it when it happened… that general would have been fired and Court marshalled… it was a coup…. Anyone seriously believe that trump was going to nuke China? You are delusional. Your hatred is blinding you. You are a member of a cult. If any general communicates with the enemy without telling the commander in chief… that is so dangerous. You think that the military should make decisions on their own? If Millie didn’t like what was happening…. Then resign!!! He can go public after he resigns!!! If this is acceptable… then a dangerous predicate has been set…. The military no longer needs to confer with the president if they don’t like the president. So dangerous.
Just like Russian collusion right?

Wow. Just...... Crazy wow!
As political commentator and former Republican presidential advisor Mark McKinnon so aptly put it recently, "The Republican party is at dysfunction junction." May disagree with conservative ideology and with their stances on many issues, but do value and respect LOYAL opposition--a duty that the GOP has for too long forgotten and abdicated, putting personal and party interests before country. That is not only harmful to their party, it is harmful to our democracy and institutions. And it has come to represent a clear a present danger to our nation, a serious threat to our very security.
All of this is mentioned because it is firmly believed that this is not a time for diplomatic, soft-spoken words. This is not a time to be timid or Pollyannaish about our current political landscape, but a time for frankness, a time for acknowledgment of defects, a time for courageously confronting stark unpleasant realities. Our democracy is a fragile construct, only as sturdy, vibrant, and enduring as we maintain it, requiring constant vigilance and due diligence. Just as we don't forget Pearl Harbor, or 9/11, even more so the attack against our nation's Capitol on January 6, 2021 by fascist Reich-wing domestic terrorists incited to insurrection by a deranged President against his own government must never be forgotten or forgiven.
Thus, we MUST condemn both cowardly, corrupt Republican so-called "leaders" defying truth, justice, duty, democracy, and Constitution--and their dysfunctional political party that behaves as a cult--in the strongest possible terms, using the most muscular language that can be mustered. For it is necessary; the very fate of our nation depends upon it. Disaster was narrowly averted with the defeat of Trump, with Democratic control of the House and Senate, but the battle for the soul of this nation is far from over, and we must never again allow ourselves to become complacent. And so it is vitally imperative that we remind each other of this, that we impress these things upon our children and fellow citizens of this nation.
"Call this civic barbarism. Instead of promoting the values of responsible citizenship, Trump, Republican leadership, and their media enablers have elevated and blessed the very worst among us. They are making many Americans less suited for self-government and more dangerous to their neighbors. And they are doing so for the reason some of the Founders most feared: To lead the mob against true democracy."
~ Michael Gerson, from _'Trumpism is American Fascism'_
(NOTE: Gerson is a staunch life-long conservative, who served as former President George W. Bush's chief speech writer.)

I think it would have been his personal valet. Get your servants straight. Although he has a new kind of servant called a butt-ler that follows him around just to wipe his ass. Could be.
@@fastnbulbouss lmao JUST LOVE ME TOO DADDYYYY!!😆😆😆😲😲
@Ro G you made my day that was really funny
🤣😂😅

You have a great day, Marta! 😛
"You could be a witch...?" Somebody turned Barr into a toad, didn't they?
No need.
...and Mitch into a turtle...
Turned?
@@78625amginE not saying it was a witch hunt or anything, or that witches are bad, but somehow he became a toad. Maybe it happened at the moment of conception...
Barr : Thats B--L S--T ! ! !
Thank God for General Milley!!
I’m proud to say my late father was a Bob Woodward fan. Dad gave a copy of State of Denial to my big brother and even wrote a note on the inside front cover.
Gen. Milley is a PATRIOT. Period.
May Nancy Pelosi live long and healthy. She earned her pay!
Not to worry. Nancy gets paid by the Mexican narco-human traffickers.
@@debraberg1763 you really don't give a rat's a$$#0le about this country, do you
Very respectable,that guy Bob Woodward...!
Weird when military is the voice of reason.
I love listening to Bob Woodward speak. His voice is reassuring somehow, even though he is discussing horror. Maybe the next Vincent Price.
You’re right. It’s oddly comforting. Kind of like Fred Rogers.
General Milley, excellent 👍 a man who remembered his Oath to the Constitution and the people of the United States of America, unlike the orange menace, (men·ace
noun; a person or thing that is likely to cause harm; a threat or danger) LoL 😜
@JdDunlap yeah making deals with china, selling the U.S. out.
@@andrewherrera6302 traitor
Stephen: "How do you know those things?"
Bob&Rob: "Sourcery"
And we know it's true because even tRump talked to Bob Woodward.
So upsetting. But, thank heaven, there were sane and intelligent government and military leaders, and dedicated journalists who took the right actions.
The reason trump left the white house is because of general milley. He knew general milley wasnt going to stand for it.
Stand for what? I am genuinely wondering what you are intimating?
At what point was Milley the Commander in Chief ?
@@uglydog311 When the actual commander in chief was incapacitated. Fat Man is a Little Boy. And thank your F'in stars the American military took appropriate steps.
@@jeffjames3111 Ok. Let’s set some ground rules for the slap fight.
Have you served? That’s a great place to start.
Me? Yes.

I did my part. Come on now, tell us all your accolades.
@@davidclaudy4822 a lunatic wannabe dictator Nuking a country and putting all our lives in danger. That’s what!
I urge thanksgiving prayers to GOD ALMIGHTY for kindness & protection to US ALL bcoz the peril to America was a peril to all of humanity! THANK GOD FOR DECENT AMERICANS WHO UNDERSTOOD THE DANGER OF THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENT THAT CAN BE ABUSED & MIS-USED. THANK GOD FOR GEN. MILLEY! THANK U😇 JESUS!
Thank you General; you saved the world.
Woodward's voice could be the key to longevity
The great Woodward and Costa! The Rump years would make a great TV series or at least a movie.
Yeah, a horror story!!
Im not american but for real though, I kind of really believe that Trump would do something like that if he thinks it will make him look tough.
Absolutely.
God Bless General Milley!
Milley protected America from an angry vengeful toddler.
This report really breaks my heart, my country was going in the wrong direction. Thank you Gen. Malley Sir! Mic'21
Yeah , going around the Commander in Chief and assisting the Communist Chinese is a great idea .
"why did he have lawyers in there telling him things that just disappeared when you investigate"... Sounds familiar, "russia collusion" was a massive fraud concocted by the DNC/Clinton, legitimized by the FBI/CIA and the FISA courts - all in an attempt to unseat a lawfully elected president. Tell me more about 'was going in the wrong direction' - we're back to a massive crisis at the border, bombing civilians and killing kids with drones, destabilizing the middle east, segregating the country by 'vaccination' status, demonizing whites (civil unrest) - on and on. The swamp is back in control and your fraudulent ass is going to spout "my country was going in the wrong direction"?!? You're disgraceful...
Superb episode, Stephen, with the Woodward-Costa Authors Tandem. Looking forward to the 4th series, COLBERT.Wow!
It's like someone saying, "Oh I spoke with some firemen yesterday, and they told me that there were raging fires all over town, months ago, but they didn't want to tell anyone because they didn't want to put out the fires."
I really don't think enough Americans realize how lucky they were to have had someone like General Milley watching their backs.
We are lucky to have had Gen. Milley and Dan Quayle protect the country at that critical point. They foiled Putin's plan. My thanks to both.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Imagine, that's the guy Darth Cheney 'accidentally' shot...
Dan Quayle ( Mr. Spelling Bee ) ! !
seeing Trump in orange jumpsuit would fix my view towards USA, I might even come to visit and spend my money there again
2:27 "We don't discuss sourcing" is all I needed to hear.
Bravo!
“I love the poorly educated!” -Donald J Trump, 2016
I would fully expect him to say that. Such an honest cult-leader, lol.
Seeing as he is one of them, that makes sense! 😆
@@noxnext
Yes, and of course he loves himself above all.
@@asynchronicity
Yup! That’s what a narcissist does. ☺️
Like himself

And, the lack of equality and education
General Milley is our hero!!!!!!
Woodward and Costa are amazing.
Order:
1. “Secret National Security Crisis”
2. Big Lie
3. “One courageous person” (this video)
OMG trump is a real danger to the whole world
OMG no.
We voted him out and are hunting down his treasonous worshippers.
I'm surprised this video only has 200k views it's an amazing show.
The image of Pelosi pounding Milley will forever haunt me. Thanks Bob.
Well, that was silly! Why read Peril then, if I can wait and go straight to Colbert?
The kind of people who read books will read it the rest should get to hear about whats in it. Its like saying you saw the trailer for a movie so now you dont have to see it. Truth is movie trailers increase the number of movie goers not the other way around
That's exactly right. The one courageous person was Miley, and the right is trying to make a villain out of him. Never doubt the US Army.
Thank the heavens for Milley
I was hoping that there was somone like Milley there...thank you Milley!
"We don't discuss sources..."
Or witchcraft.
Love the 'deep background' comment. I immediately thought of 'DEEP THROAT'. 🇺🇸🌎🌍❤️🌹🦅
That's right. We don't discuss witchcraft.
"How many of the people talking to you for this book are trying to rehabilitate their own image..."
So I love the comedy, but then the left hook comes and you are reminded of Stephen's pretty deep/nimble chops as an interviewer.
it is important since I enjoy Stephen's comedy yet his political inquisitiveness is astute and noteworthy since we learn a lot about shit going on in our country.
God bless this man.
"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely".
Obama was never corrupt.
Trump has always been corrupt.
It's not about power: it's about character.
