mr. nixon, you up and saying under your government you would not pour billions of dollars into programs that are not working. i wonder if you will be more specific and tell us which programs you will repeal? mr. nixon: i was talking about ones that deal with poverty in cities. i'm referring to many of the poverty programs, particularly the job corps program. i'm referring to some of the approaches to public housing, and i am referring to programs in the field of welfare. when you're talking about repealing, i am not saying we just go down and cut out all of those programs. what i am suggesting is in the field of training for jobs, for example, and we pour billions of dollars into the job corps. it was a very well-intentioned program. but what happened? only two of 10 got jobs to which the tribute to the job corps training for, and it cost $11,000 to train each one of them. i think the better approach is to give a tax credit to private enterprise to train me foro train the unemployed real jobs.

mrs. nixon knew that was going to be the answer to be that part of a larger world beyond that of her community. both women understood coming to the white house at the time as the women's movement understood the rational thinking behind equal pay for equal work. they wrote in quiet yet forward and progressive ways were taking some of the more radical elements of what was inside the women's movement or the feminist movement and integrating them into their remarks and the way that they responded to the press and in this sort of gentle way the notion of these two housewives, or certainly mothers or as the public thought of them traditional women overlooking their lives before they were married in this way it helped move things forward certainly not without controversy but also as i was mentioning as part of a song tradition that it was the republican party that was first in the senate put up the equal rights amendment at 1922. people forget that. they think that it is something that occurred in the

it was then perhaps no accident that mrs. nixon appeared at the state of the union address wearing a warm sweater suit for the first time in the public. in the spring of 1974, pat nixon made a trip to several south american countries, and she began wearing some of the new blends, as she liked to call them, the non-crushable's of synthetic fabric, that allowed her to travel more easily without concern for wrinkles in the closing. again, that was also a reflection of a popular trend at the time, polyester blends, cotton blends. but those was most evidence on that trip in the series of appearances she made. in june, june 1974, she had accompanied president nixon on a multi-nation trip to the middle east. for the very first time, an american first lady, this was in saudi arabia, and pat nixon chose as was her prerogative, to not wear a head covering. while there was a little bit of criticism in saudi arabia, it was certainly something uncommon to the american press, and what had the effect of doing was setting a precedent. so that any

mr. nixon, under your government -- billions of dollars -- be more specific and tell us which programs you would repeal? >> when i was speaking particularly of programs, i was referring to those that dealt with the problems of poverty in the cities. i was referring to many of the poverty programs, the job core program, and i'm referring to some of the approaches to public housing and i'm referring to some of the programs in the field of welfare. when you talk about repealing, i'm not referring to a meat ax approach were we just go down and cut out all of those programs. what i am suggesting -- i think in the field of training for jobs, for example, we look at the job core and report billions of dollars into it. it is well it -- very well- intentioned program. two out of 10 of those received job core training they got jobs to which they attributed the job corp training for and it cost us $11,000 to train. i think the better approach is to give a tax credit to private enterprise to train for real

with mrs. nixon you see especially a lot of those blends she would refer to as the non-crushables which were practical because of all the traveling she did. >> our next question will come from the front row. i want to acknowledge olivia for giving her input. olivia is the curator here. [ applause ] that put an incredible amount of thought, time and work into that runway and the display in the main galleries. if you haven't gotten in there, make sure you get in there to see them. those are all pat nixon's dresses [ inaudible dresses. [ inaudible ] >> and sandy works on broadway dressing ladies, dressing costumes, too. >> we'll do two more. the next one will come from the front row and i'll ask the last one if that's okay with you. >> thanks, carl, for being here, it's an honor to have you. a couple things. you talked about how martha washington intentionally wore american made clothes. when did first ladies start wearing regional materials from other countries for diplomatic reasons? >> that's a very

mr. nixon, he said, hubert just broke from johnson in salt lake city. and nixon says to me, get johnson on the phone. i did not know what to do. i went to rose was and she said you dial 202-456-1414. and talk to the operator. so i called and got the operator on the phone. i said i have the former vice president sitting here who would like to talk to president johnson. and so there is silence for 20 or 30 seconds. she comes back on and she says, can you put the former vice president on the phone so we can identify him? i said shirley. i handed him the phone and he was right there by me. the next thing i hear is high, millie. yes. how was susan? he knew all of the operators. he was identify him -- identifying himself by his familiarity. and then hi mr. president, this is the connection. i wanted to call and let you know that i am still with you. huge. huge. >> well, what i urged nixon to do, i said humphrey is going to unite this party. he is going to unite this party and let's remember this part

mrs. nixon told virginia sure word in her interview -- sherwood in her interview, because she like to keep current

yes i do see some parallels yes i ate when mr nixon had to resign it was because there was a crime committed the watergate episode is what ultimately sank richard nixon he had a whole lot of other things similar to what mr trump is doing in manage and government in this country but it was a pure unadulterated actual crime and his fellow republicans couldn't stay with him he had the numbers but he couldn't keep in whole them and then we had and robust aggressive house when people lack of the that wonderful black woman from texas barbara jordan got up and did her number when she examined and i believe the role is time you interviewed me back in the seventies doing that or her process absolutely i don't think unless something like that dramatically happens or mr mr trump will be forced out and believe me that other than his conduct as nixon did his willingness to run the white house anyway which is without real it vice from people inside the white house with the turmoil and the turnover that has occurred in the administration in two years all that says his conduct is not substantially different

mrs. nixon he would see a lot of those blend which were practical because of all the traveling she did. >> next question from the front row. i want to acknowledge olivia forgiven her input. she is the curator here. she put an incredible amount of thought, time, and work into that runway just outside in the hall and the display in the main gallery. if you have not gotten in make sure that you go see them. >> you can see him from the bowers museum. she works on runways addressing costumes. >> we will do two more. the next one will come from the front row. i will ask the last one if it is okay with you. >> a couple things he talked about how martha washington intentionally wore american- made clothes. when did they start when different regional clothing for different diplomatic reasons? >> there's always the issue in the 19th century of our way a private person or a public person. where does that line begin and end. for example tony medicine we have records of her purchasing most of her items from

you know mr. nixon is the one man who cannot talk to the russians. if you think there's any chance for world peace without a president of united states to be able talk to the russians, you are wrong. whether we like it or don't, we have to learn how to live with it. at least we have to have a mutual contact. i have talked to -- more than any other american save the presidents and maybe more than he has. >> we will talk about the life of our people, the life of our nation and the life of our world. i would preserve the life and enrich it. how we make it meaningful and better. i would make it last longer. everything that bobby kennedy fought for and many of you have those feelings, we fought for with equal vigor and sometimes earlier we were prepared to do it as long or longer. the whole emphasis on this campaign on major substantive issues will be essentially the urban community, urbanization. i'm the one man they can't contend with a large city -- i have worked for four years with every mayor of every major city in the united states and been to dozen

and i live day and night through that particular impeachment mr nixon one of the biggest a landslide ever in one thousand nine hundred seventy two forty nine out of fifty states and yet he was resigned because under a cloud of impeachment within eighteen months because he was defying the rule of law he said if the president does that it's not illegal and so i do think that despite the division if it's shown that mr trump has violated the law he's flouting subpoenas and compulsion to testify as mr nixon was trying to do i think it would be a unifying moment it doesn't mean that we wouldn't have divisions on other issues but i do not think that when it comes to the integrity of the white house that the american people would permit somebody who is flouted the law to remain so are you hopeful that the mother investigation will actually run its course. yes i think i believe that that is going to happen we still have a country that believes that what distinguishes us from all others is that we have no one even the president of the united states who's above the law. bruce fein former u.s. a

mr. republican barry goldwater, who told president nixon, "you don't have even a dozen votes in the senate and i am not with you anymore, mr. president," once the smoking gun tapes came out -- it only takes a simple majority in the house, but it takes two thirds of the senate and in today's world, that will mean a buy-in from both parties. and i think it is abusive for the house to begin a process in hyper partisan ways because you will not be about to get a conviction. now clinton, democrats never bought into the impeachment in the house, so very predictably, you didn't get anything close to two thirds in the senate. so i am a foe of partisan impeachment. i would be a foe of partisan impeachment for this president and i voted against this president. senators take an oath to do impartial justice. i actually in the clinton that --ce, reinterpret try to imagine if the political shoe were on the other foot, which is a deep theme of charles black's book. it is ordinary to say well, that is my party, it is the republican platform to do this, it is the democratic platform to do that. i don't lov

nixon. the similarities between watergate and what's happening with mr trump are disturbingly similar.gate is a break—in to the democratic national committee in order to get information that was going to affect the 1972 presidential election. what you have with regard to the trump campaign was an effort by the russian government to break into the democratic national committee headquarters. they didn't take any locks, but they sent in electronic impulses and they broke into the servers of the democratic national committee for the purposes of influencing the outcome of the 2016 presidential race. so the objectives we re presidential race. so the objectives were the same in watergate and here, to affect the outcome of the presidential election surreptitious lee and illegally. what did the president know, and when did he know it? —— surreptitious lee. we need to be investigating exactly what went on here, what the president knew and when he knew it. the watergate burglars were found to be directly connected to the white house. but when russia hacked the democratic party e—mails, where pres

brian: if nixon had not resigned, would he have been impeached and convicted? mr. gerhardt: yes.e would have certainly been impeached. the house of representatives was moving in that direction and had approved articles of impeachment. and the matter would've gone to the senate. most senators would have voted to convict. nixon was told shortly by barry goldwater before he resigned. goldwater was such a loyal republican and when he told nixon he did not think you would get more than 10 or 12 votes, nixon knew the game was up. more than two thirds would vote to convict. so he knew he would have to resign or be the first president both impeached and removed from office. brian: how much did chapter eight in your book on impeachment drive you to write the book? the title of the chapter is " will donald trump be impeached?" mr. gerhardt: it is a topic a lot of people talk about. what i tried to do in the chapter is clean up misconceptions about legal issues and constitutional issues. i try to work through the different subjects that can come up with trump. we are only at the beginning,

nixon. it has no place in our politics. mr. whittaker does not belong as acting attorney general. he's not senate confirmed. he didn't met the succession requirements. his disqualified in terms of overseeing the russia investigation because of his opinions on it already and the positions he's taken publicly. this is a terrible mistake. the first thing i hope the judiciary committee will do once in democratic hands is to bring mr. whittaker before the committee and find out what happened with the firing of jeff sessions and how mr. whittaker was hired and what consideratves took place at the white house. >> i'm curious as we widen out from just the law, as a student or observer of donald trump, what do you think about the counter productive risk he's taking. he's beefing with john roberts, someone he can't fire who could have the final word on the mueller probe, efforts to subpoena trump and other big important questions. >> i mean what's really scary about this president is he continues to not just push the law but push norms. there by forcing congress, almost challenging them, da
