Bob Woodward on Trump, Harris, and war in Ukraine | All Things Considered | NPR

Legendary journalist Bob Woodward’s new book "War" — like so many of his books about the American presidency over the last half century — is generating headlines. Woodward sat down with All Things Considered host Scott Detrow to discuss the headline-grabbing moments documented in the book.

On the Mount Rushmore of Journalism, Bob is a national treasure! Thank you for keeping us informed all these years!

[dwightwilliams]

Every country - recognized as such or not - needs at least a few people like Mr. Woodward at all times. At *all* times.

[JeffreyGillespie]

A smart and serious person for serious times.

Bob W. Is one of our best reporters……his opinion and real things of is from the 💜

I don't know how I will be at 81 years old - thank goodness for and good health to Mr. Bob Woodward.

Bob hit the nail on the head with his mention of sequence of events. It’s one thing to have a hodgepodge of events, claims and actions given or hidden to and from people but when it is replayed in a chronological and faithful way people tend to have a much firmer grasp of the way it was.

Thanks to Scott Detrow for asking the right questions and the intense follow-up questions. You let this slow-speaking and very reflective-speaking, historically most important reporter of our time speak in complete sentences and fully articulate not only his thoughts, but also those of all the figures from and about whom he has exclusively available information. I treat my heroes in this way, too.

Thank you, Mr. Woodward! You are one of the last few real journalists!

Bob Woodward has such a clear and precise memory of people, events, situations this is remarkable when we all know politics, world events spin quickly. If I get to the same age with the same clarity, I will be very pleased, yet alarmed too at knowing how people forget the truth, rely on faulty recognition.

Bob Woodward is a legend in journalism 🏋🏾‍♂️

[charliemcgrain]

It would be a different world if we could just get the general population to actually read a book!

[BarbaraDavis-fy]

Thank you Bob Woodward for not falling for the NPR pitfall questions about Biden. Guess NPR still feels the need to reiterate MAGA talking points against Biden’s acuity. It’s rediculous and I can’t wait for this to stop in the media. Just call the Facists for who they are and stop trying to both sides this. Thank God Bob Woodward sticks to the most important critical things we Americans need to know!

[RaimundoWBastos]

Just FANTASTIC! Thank you so very much to NRP and Mr. Woodward. I'm a college professor and feel equipped with much interesting material to share with my students. Gratitude to you.

"Mr Minister: I'm the leader of the most powerful military in the history of the world. I don't make threats." Badass.

[gchomuk]

Just started reading his book, War, this morning.

[hawsrulebegin]

Great interview. Scary content though. We live in very dangerous times.

[josephgonzalez]

Thank you NPR, be respectful of Woodward.

[lauradawson]

This is one channel project 25 wants to get rid of. Why? Because of truth in reporting.

[thelasonj]

Protect Bob W at all costs. ❤️ him. Great reporter & writer.

History is of grave importance today. Many people aren't remembering what has happened before. For example, why I compared Trump to Hitler is the many similarities with what happened in1930's Germany.
I am glad there are people like Mr. Woodward paying attention.
