>> he does not criticize nixon and nixon does not criticize johnson. both johnson and nixon had younger political partisan staffers. sapphire's book was really good about this period in history. i believe that sapphire said something that johnson's young speechwriting staff, it's awkward. do not criticize johnson. sapphire sets up this image that you can imagine, the relationship was like a cockfight between knives attached to spurs. as long as the one does not strike, that sets up the idea of the johnson/nixon relationship. i would not say they were friends, but they were friendly. i would not say that johnson supported nixon. i would say that he came to prefer him. it's a nuance. these were longtime rivals who ended the careers of many of each other's friends over many decades. i think they came to see that they needed each other. >> we are at the nixon library. let's talk about former vice president nixon. he lost presidency and he lost the run for california governor in 1962. through a meticulous strategy, and his share will and determination, he w

he uses that word the nixon part. he calls the nixon diary. and i was a lot of it's restricted but because he lived to age 99 it's 52 volume so diaries i mean imagine 52 books of diaries because he lived i mean his 99 when he died and he begins in 1950 with harry truman and goes into 2014 with president obama and would describe it as kind of a hybrid diaries. it documents contact, sometimes verbatim with presidents their, families and top staff that i've not seen at any presidential library or national archives. a unique resource almost like a counselor or sort of pastoral relationship at times. johnson documents the content of the prayers at some point. i mean, really personal details about how these leaders, each other, you know, oftentimes out the public eye. and i allowed to access it. wheaton college outside of chicago. and what we had told was the diary also contains graham with over 50 foreign heads of state because graham is crusades. so many were international extended. i was told that one researcher ahead of me had had been granted a

nixon to whittier, nixon to what is now texas state. they were both looked down by the national elite, the media and both parties. they had these undercurrents between them that drew them together as human beings. i think the second thing is that johnson understood that whoever his successor was, this presidency was going to be in large part a sequel to his own presidency. i think it is difficult to find a more modern administration. so much was left undone by the end. now you look -- we see the policy in a new light. clean water, clean air. a lot of the things that carter talked about on tuesday. obviously the size of government did not shrink. it grew to the consternation of a lot of conservatives. look at a lot of what nixon achieved during the presidency. the people quite often upset work conservatives. old task republicans. i wonder now looking at nixon -- it's '68, he's not president. pretend he's not. anyway, a lot of those policies might have been pursued by president nixon because there was one voter on a ranch in stonewall, te

nixon. and this shall include any interest i may have the estate of my parents or any other estate i direct that my funeral be as simple and inexpensive as possible. i appoint my wife as executive without bond. she is to have absolute discretion in settling my estate and. most interesting the remarriage of my wife after my. let's see. i think it's just after my deceased. so i believe it's what it says. or after dead shall have no effect whatsoever on her rights under my will. i believe that such action by her would be for the best, i mean, extraordinary document, very selfless. so wanted to start with that as we get into his time in the south pacific and we'll keep that up just a little bit. so when he arrives, when -- nixon arrives in the south pacific, he first goes to new caledonia and he's assigned to south pacific air transport command. he preps flight plans here and manifests for cargo and transit for planes. he's ultimately to hop around and work at a number of different places in the

nixon. well, for these two remarkable women who became friends who encouraged each other to live their best lives in the pressure of public life and the glare of the white house. well, with us to give deeper insight into pat nixon and betty ford, we have some distinguished people on this stage, susan ford bales only daughter of president and mrs.. susan is the sponsor, the aircraft carrier uss gerald r ford and recognize one of her extraordinary service as the ship's sponsor. susan was named an honorary aviator by the united states navy, becoming only the 31st american ever to receive this distinction and the first woman ever to be so honored. she is the recipient of three honorary doctorates and is the author of two novels set in the white house. i'm waiting for those novels. get on tv now, because the netflix we need to clean up next looks a little. edward cox next to susan, the son in law of president and mrs. nixon. many of you recall that the hauenstein and the ford held a joint program

since richard nixon. it's pretty clear. this whole business about immunity is really total nonsense. you go back to the 1974 opinion where the supreme court unanimously ordered richard nixon to produce his tapes. it's pretty clear throughout that the supreme court is basing that ruling on the notion that the president is not above the law. that the president has to answer the same in the criminal system as any other citizen. in fact, recently, the 11th 6t in the case overruling the judge in florida on the classified documents case made it quite clear that donald trump has to be treated just like any other defendant in the criminal system facing charges in federal court. so it seems to me that we have a whole different situation with respect to a criminal charge. and when you come right down to it, this case has one and only one purpose for donald trump, and that is to try and delay his day of reckoning. and try to keep from having a jury decide if he's guilty. he knows darn well once a jury is selected an

nixon and the nixon daughters for making it just a very happy occasion for mrs. and her children to return to the home, that they remembered living in with their father and obviously mrs. kennedy was very nervous leading up to it, but was just so grateful at how warm the nixon family was and how what a great tour guide president nixon was showing john the oval office. and i think the desk where, you know, john used to hide hide. and so the only way you haven't seen it, what i would suggest you seek out at the nixon library are the beautiful letters that jacqueline kennedy and both caroline john wrote to president and mrs. nixon following that visit and what it meant to them to be there at the white house. really, mrs. kennedy's letters is beautiful. she was a beautiful writer. she wrote a letter like. no one else could. but john and caroline's notes are are also particularly sweet and think those letters are available in the nixon library archives. sorry. and then barbara from saint paul ask did former presidential families have some things in the white house tha

when the zionists suffered consecutive losses, kissinger and nixon organized for the emergency supply of weapons to the entity in a move known as operation nickel grass. the operation consisted of the us air force military airlift command delivering 22,325 tons of tanks, ammunition and military equipment over 32 days directly to. battlefield, following the war, egyptian leader anwar sadat sent a secret message to zines prime minister gold mer. when i threatened war, i meant it. when i talk of peace now, i mean it. we have never had contact before. we now have the services of dr. kissinger. let us use him and talk each other through him, asserted saddat. it was kissinger who took sadat under his wing and convinced him of the benefit of normalizing with the temporary entity. and this work culminated with the visit of the egyptian leader to israeli parliament, where he addressed the israeli political elite, stating his desire for peace with the entity. the infrastructure of collaboration that was set up during his time remains in place to this day. when marking the death of kissinger, is

nixon was not about private conduct. nixon was about, among other things, using t.a. to interfere with a f.b.i. investigation. he accepts a pardon understanding that after having resigned -- i think that undermines this impeachment first argument. after nixon, we thea series of independent and special prosecuto investigating a range of you saw independents p*epbl counsel lawrence walsh in the iran-contra affair. the department invokes in his reply brief in chapter 27 of that report, the independent counsel assumes that president reagan was subject to prosecution. and says, but we di get there evidentiary. not that we sthaut there was immune -- thought there was that's continued to present. this notion we are go see a floodgate -- careful investigations and the in the n era didn't result in any charges. the fact that this investigation did doesn't reflet we are going to see a sea change of vindictive tit for tat prosecutionsthe future. i think it reflects the fundamentally unprecedented of the criminal charges here. never before has there been allegations that a sittin

versus nixon, it's doing justice. and the second is move promptly to satisfy and vindicate the publand defendant's interest in a prompt resolution of this trial. doing justice means getting the lot rid it is our view that even a dismissal on jurisdiction might move this faster, actually we just don't think that is the ght analysis here on either immunity the second clai >> we have a line of including kramer versus gates, american hospitsociation versus a czar, it says we can assume hypothetical statutory jurisdiction and reach the merits of the case. statutory jurisdiction being jurisdiction which we could never assume which indicates the power of the court to act. if we had discretion to h the merits versus just dismissiis case under midland asphalt which i think is a strong president suggests this appeal is interrogatory and does t fall collateral doctrine how should we determine to exercise the jurisdiction about whether orwe should reach the merits? >> in the americanspitals decision, 2020, the court said somethin

and so this clip from nixon during the nixon frost discussions was part of it. so just to sort of walk back in terms of where this in history after nixon left office, he agreed to a series of interviews with this famous journalist. and so they talked through all these different things, including all the watergate details. this is a clip of him talking about how. this is not a cover up, even though historically it clearly was my motive was not i did not believe that we were covering any criminal activities. i didn't believe that john mitchell was involved. i didn't believe that for matter anybody else was. i was trying to contain politically and that is a very different motive from the motive of attempting to up criminal of an individual. and so there was no cover up of any criminal activities. that was not my motive. so nixon says i'm not covering up criminal activity. i'm covering up the political problem that related this. it's still the same problem, right? still stonewalling, regardless. so this classifies as stone, too. not you can hear it again. it doesn't

boris referenced nixon's comment.ree years after he left the presidency in 1977, when richard nixon did those iconic interviews with british journalist david frost, when he seemed to imply that he was above the law at that time. here's a clip of an exchange between nixon and frost in 1977. >> in a sense, you are saying that there are certain situations, the houston plan for that part of it was one of them, where the president can decide that it's in the best interest of the nation or something, and do something illegal. >> well, when the president does it that means that it is not illegal. >> reporter: i spoke to our historian who's used to run the nixon library about the comment from richard nixon to david frost in 1977. he pointed out something very important here. he said that nixon at the time was referring to just a narrow band of national security and domestic security operations, which for a period of time in the united states could be done by a president and not be illegal. he pointed out that later on after t

here's nixon's problem right? make it worse and you just dig yoursf deeper and deeper in that hole. so presidents found this out the hard way. and so why do these scandals matter? well, at the end of the day, basically, it's about accountability and so we've said that presidents obviously have to navigate around these different crises. sometimes they make them sometimes, you know, they have r presidents and confronted scandals. it's important not just in terms how they do their job, but also political system. and that's really been a hallmark of what we've tried to convey in our class. like, how do presidents navigate this complicated set of arrangements that the constitution provides? it requires so accountability matters here. so it's not just about the president and sort how they can govern, but that matters, obviously, in terms of how things move, but also in terms of the bigger picture if scandals don't matter then we don't have the ability to hold people to on these things that they have done wrong on. and s

that was the -- by nixon. that was the argument that trump's attorney was making today, is why that's not relevant to this case. >> kaitlan, actually, they were raising a case that happened after neixon had left office, when fitzgerald sued nixon for firing him and a couple cabinet officers and other people trying to make a civil case out of it and nixon invoked the privilege, if you will, at that point that he was immune, and the justice department defended him. and they succeeded. and we have the case of nixon versus fitzgerald, which is now being relied on by trump, saying that he was doing nothing more than nixon was. very different situation. that was a pure civil situation. this is a pure criminal situ situation. and in your earlier point about the impeachment thing i think is wonderful because the follow-up question the judge asked after referring to that earlier impeachment concession was of today's lawyer and today's lawyer says oh, well, it wasn't res judicata, meaning it wasn't -- it's not inapplica

first of all, nixon versus fitzgerald emphasizes the most compelling of what is policy considerations that are rooted in the separations of powers is the rendering of the executive branch official undual cautious, unduly cautious in the highly contentious decisions that come up all of the time. if the president has to look over their shoulder every time he or she has to make a controversial decision every time they have to make a decision, that is going to hind ter power of the president. >> and i understand that, that is one interest, but there are other article 2 interests at play here, too, and they seem to be counter vvailing, the interes of the article 2 interests -- >> the balancing of marbury and to the extent that the court is reaching policy considerations of the court those are decisively outweighed by the sort of the republic shattering consequences of subjecting chief executives in an endless cycle to prosecution once they leave office. the founders were very much against that and deeply concerned with that, and you can see it in hamilton's writings in federalists 67, 68,

and so this clip from nixon during the nixon frostdiscussions was part of it. so just to sort of walk back in terms of where this in history after nixon left office, he agreed to a series of interviews with this famous journalist. and so they talked through all these different things including all the watergate details. this is a clip of him talking about how. this is not a cover up even though historically it clearly was my motive was not i did not believe that we were covering any criminal i didn't believe that john mitchell was involved. i didn't believe that for matter anybody else was. i was trying to contain politically and that is a very different from the motive of attempting to up criminal of an individual. and so there was no cover up of any criminal activities. that was not my motive. so nixon says i'm not covering up criminal activity. i'ring up the political problem that related this. it's still the same problem right? still stonewalling regardless. so this classifies as stone, too. not you can hear it again. it doesn't more true. all right. so if

you dealt with richard nixon, and richard nixon was a danger to democracy in his own right. where does trump stack against nixon in that regard? >> jim, i have written several books about authoritarian presidents, and andrew jackson was the first, and andrew johnson was the second, and woodrow wilson was the third and nixon was the fourth, and trump has been the fifth. we are really comparing authoritarian personalities, and i have to tell you trump is the poster boy. he's the worst we ever had and the most dangerous we ever had, and nixon had a conscience, and that's something donald trump does not have, and that makes it easier for trump to do what he wants to do, and nixon had lines he would not cross. while there are comparisons and similarities, the differences and the bouttom line is significant. >> all right, molly, s.c. and john, thank you. >> thank you. >>> coming up next, breaking news, and new details about secretary of defense lloyd austin's hospitalization is next. >>> breaking news just into cnn. we are getting new details on secretary of defense lloyd austin b

and so this clip from nixon during the nixon frost discussions was part of it.t to sort of walk back in terms of where this in history after nixon left office, he agreed to a series of interviews with thimo journalist. and so they talked through all these different things, including all the watergate details. this is a clip of him talking about how. this is not a cover up, even though historically it clearly was my motive was not i did not believe that we were covering any criminal ai didn't believe n mitchell was involved. i didn't believe that for matter anybody else was. i was trying to contain politically and that is a very different motive from the motive of attempting to up criminal of an individual. and so there was no cover up of any criminal activities. that was not my motive. so nixon says i'm not covering up criminal activity. i'm covering up the political problem thatqphl related this. it's still the same problem, right? still stonewalling, regardless. so this classifies as stone, not you can hear it again. it doesn't more true. all right. so if you

they were saying president nixon was not above the law.s based upon a premise that there's a very strong executive. well that's right. but there's also a very strong congress and a very strong judiciary. and we have separation of powers and 248 years ago, we decided we do not have a king. we told that to king george and the only king as far as i'm concerned is lebron. there is no king. the president is not above the law. i don't think the delay is going to work. what i think is going to happen is i think the mandate when this comes down, they very well might say that we are vacating the stay and this case is going back to judge chutkan and then the trump team can ask the full d.c. court to reinstate the stay or they can ask the supreme court. and i think because the supreme court does not want to be political, they're going to reject this case. and if i may one other thing, the trump tactic of vailed threat ifs you want to call it that to the court will backfire. donald trump himself said well, i appointed some very smart justices and you
