>> afternoon everyone, welcome to the washington post for this event. years ago today good afternoon, everyone. welcome to the washington post for this very special event. 11 years ago today, a break-in took place at the democratic national committee headquarters in the watergate building, just two miles from here. the white house press secretary at the time refer to the incident as nothing more than, quote, a third rate burglary. that may have been how history would have recorded it but for the reporting of two men who are about to take the stage. a former publisher of the washington post, phil graham, once said that journalism is the first rough draft of history. bob woodward and carl bernstein wrote their first draft of this story and then a second. under the guidance of legendary editor ben bradley, whose wife sally is here with us today, and the support of the publisher catherine graham, whose son don is here with us today, they exposed a tale of cover-up, corruption at the highest levels of government. the totality of their work changed journalism

together we provided an example for how washington can and should work. we got out of our comfort zones, we built broad coalitions with unlikely allies, and we refused to demonize each other when things got tough. and i sincerely thank senator chris murphy for his passion, senator john cornyn for his leadership, and senator thom tillis for his pragmatism. each of my friends and colleagues brought a unique perspective and expertise that allowed us together to craft the most holistic approach to community violence in nearly 30 years. i also want to thank all of our staffs, especially my legislative director, michael brownley, and my counsel chris voisten, for their tireless hours, including working straight through father's day, to get this bill right. you know, their efforts will save lives, help families across our country feel more secure, and make our schools safer. i promised arizonans that i would be an independent leader for our state and that i would ignore the chaos of washington and instead just focus on getting things done. it won't surprise anyo

she developed -- to work behind the scenes to get things done in washington. while her husband was busy at work rebuilding america's economy, strengthening our defenses and promoting freedom around the world, misses reagan was a confidant and a central partner. at all times she exhibited complete unwavering devotion to ronald reagan as her husband and as the 40th president of the united states. it is no exaggeration to say there is not a successful ronald reagan if it is not for nancy reagan. the president himself, said to nancy, i can't imagine life without her. at the same time, nancy worked hard to advance her own important initiatives. she was a at the gifford foster grandparents in champion of the arts. she devoted herself to restoring and remodeling the white house. at a times when elected officials with not only working relationships, but for true friendships across the aisle, the white house has never looked better. perhaps her best-known initiative was leading america's campaign against drug abuse. it is ironic that the woman who would never take no f

as well as why washington worked then versus now. and then the second reason was that sort of what wants me on the project and then what ended up turning out to be fascinating is the watergate story that we think that we know turned out not to be the stories as it unfolded at all. and that actually this book is the first time in a quarter century that anyone has tried to tell the full sweep of the watergate story so the story that most of us think we know which is heavily influenced by all the presidents men the movie and is the kind of blur of the watergate building and the plumbers and the break-in and the whitewashing in the white house there's a kind of flurry of independent prosecutors. there were the tapes playing away. the two are journalists and very quickly the helicopter of a careful nixon leaving. and that kind of doesn't tell the whole story.>> that was part of what i found so fascinating in researching this is this is actually the first time anyone sat down to write a full history of watergate knowing the identity of dee
