richard nixon, l.b.j., john f. kennedy or gerald ford in 1974 after u.s. troops were out.e fall of saigon while he was in office. the legacies of these presidents were tied up in the long vietnam war. none of these four presidents is the u.s. president who started the u.s. involvement in vietnam. the names of american service members killed in that war are listed chronlogically. the first names on that wall are from the 1950s. we think the 1950s is when we fought the korean war but the vietnam war from the late 60s. the first american president to send u.s. forces to vietnam. the first americans who died in vietnam were under president dwight eisenhower. he resisted a full scale of u.s. intervention and did start what became a full scale u.s. military intervention when he deployed several hundred u.s. military advisers to not fight an american war there but advise and help with their own fight in their own country. that is how it started with the few hundred advisers. that is not how it ended up. military intervention has a way of starting small and getting bigger and hard

if you look at the election in 1960, you could put a feather between richard nixon and john f. kennedy, in terms of their foreign-policy objectives. they shared many of the same views, the same hawkish views about the cold war. defense strategy embedded in the new look do little to reverse essentially what the truman administration had set forth as their arms race policy. icbms it is only with the and the new technology that this kind of disrupts what had been better legacy. the legacy was indeed a benchmark work setting the world dominated by two superpowers, requiring vigilance, requiring some kind of balance of terror in terms of weaponry. in that sense, it isn't an important beginning point. -- it is an important beginning point. but certainly not the end. thank you.

john dean was able to provide evidence and then a member of the treasury department supplied a list. the question was did what extent do richard nixon authorized the listing of the names, to what extent was it designed to go after political opponents? then there was a question of the audit of larry o'brien, the head of the democratic national convention. the committee had some of the case. some of the tapes had been given to the committee. the president had released a few tapes following the saturday night massacre of 1973. one of the tapes from set timber -- september 1972 did show the president participating in a conversation about misusing the irs. what some wanting to protect the president said was, hey, that was one instance. in the heat of politics, people make mistakes. can you really say that one rant on one day constitutes a pattern of abuse of power? and were the framers wanted us to remove a president which is a dramatic act in a democracy on the basis of evidence of one thing of wrongdoing? we cannot even prove that anybody acted on what the president said. maybe the next day, president nixon, say i had a headache, i did

john dean going to the i.r.s. with 500 names of political opponents of the president. that is absolutely indefensible. no one at this table of richard nixon condones that act. you can see the president didn't know that. he didn't know that john dean went to the i.r.s. there isn't a word of testimony that he did know that mr. dean went opinion it's important as well to know what the i.r.s. told mr. dean. the person that told mr. dean was the appointee of the president. executing the presidents instruction i presume. there's no dispute as to what mr. dean was told. he was told to go to hell. that's what happened. >> the president is not to be impeached. this whole case of i.r.s. abuse turns on the conversation of september 15 on, on that, we'll have to submit that. we'll study it and review it and decide whether or not at that time the president approve find of this or whether it was simply a discussion in the context of the time three months before an election in this country. i will yield back that time. >> mr. chairman, i yield three minutes to the gentleman from indiana. >> determining the situation, i think it's worth remembering that

fellow histonion -- historian criticised nixon and said the vulgar itty tarpished the -- tarnished the presidency. lyndon johnson was no shrinking violence. john kennedy himself wasn't. are we looking at the the tapes and judging them through a 20th century leps, and what is appropriate now - what was inappropriate now may not be seen like that. >> to a degree. keep in mind nixon was breaking the law. you are listening to abuses of power, the president forced to flee the white house because that's right so much thuggery going on. they were ordering a break-in of the brookings institute to steal office. you are capturing that. bbj used barnyard language, kennedy had tants put would -- taints, but would push them when doing well or in a statesman mode. foolishly nixon grabbed everything. >> this does crapp tur some -- capture some of the brill yaps of nixon. it's after assault one, and after the rech lish -- reckless one with china. he won the election with 61% of the vote. if not for the tapes which led to his res iing nation, do you think -- resignation in watergate. do you think you'd see him as a great president. >> ip do realise that that t

speaker john boehner, president barack obama, that's a little picture. the big picture, as if you look at history with richard nixon, johnson in vietnam, and any number of actions that have been sued since then and that will sue in the future is whether there is anything that can be done by the house of representatives or by the is notate it make sure that the president's obey he the law. an it do that, they compel the president to do that by court order or to clear judgment so all of us can understand what the law actually means. and this will be binding going forward so if you happen it have a democrat house or democrat senate or republican president, it cuts both ways. but i think is important to our constitutional process to be able to establish what the house and senate cannot do vis-a-vis the separation of powers over the president of the united states. so the bigger picture going forward is this is very much bipartisan. >> let me ask you about your picture on this. had mitt romney won in 2012 when he was in charge of bringing into action the affordable care act and he decided for reasons of efficiency to dep

one of the things that has come out of this is that nixon started promoting the rockefeller drug laws i did national level because he was advised by john mitchell that this would be a way to break s.d.s. and the student protest anti-war movement because all these kids were spoken pot so let's let's pass really draconian federal laws and start putting kids in prison and and here we are you know forty fifty years later however many years it's been later and we've got these insane drug laws isn't it time to say enough already isn't isn't rand paul right. i think rand paul is on to something i do think that we have to see what happens in colorado and i think there's going to be some tweaks to the law or seen so far as the crime is gone down revenues are gone up. use of alcohol is gone down slightly which is not making that walk the real happy. but there has been some problems with violence and there has been some problems with kids getting into parents' stashes so what i'm saying is that's a that's a legitimate concern of violence i don't get you know. what fought i was going to say falling over each other to get to the twenty's yeah ok so

richard nixon intimidating witnesses in the watergate break-in that led to his resignation. linden johnson misleading people about the war in vietnam. johnms trying to suppress free press. today we have a president misusing his power by not using it to solve vital problems. the evidence is clear on the border. we now know the obama administration was told a year ago that organized criminals were beginning to smuggle children into the u.s.a. in great numbers. president could have summoned the countries involved to a conference in washington. he could have cracked down as soon as the cartel its got into the people's smuggling business. did he not now the u.s.a. will have to deal with 100,000 desperate children. the presidents of guatemala, honduras and el salvador will finally arrive in washington for that conference. a bit late, don't you think? then we have the isis terror army taking taken over a third of iraq. persecuting christians. forcing several from their homes. what has president obama done to the isis army? has he bombed their caravans to and from syria? has he directed drones at their leaders and their headquarters? no, he has

john, you've been doing great work. thank you for being here with us tonight. want to bring in kt mcfarland who held national security posts in the nixond reagan administrations. kt, it's incredible to see what's actually happening there. and there are reports today the israeli ambassador actually said that hamas is actually putting its weapons in ambulances and in schools, kindergarten, elementary schools. they're putting their rockets in elementary schools because either they don't think the israelis will bomb those or they will bomb those and then turn around and say look at the evil israelis. >> exactly. hamas understands it is never going to defeat israel on the battlefield. hamas can fire rockets into israel. israel's created an iron dome to destroy those rockets. hamas will try to send suicide bombers in the tunnels. they know that israel will be able to crush those tunnels, collapse those tunnels. so what has hamas decided? they can maybe win in the court of public opinion. if they can make the israelis look like the aggressors, if they can show a body kound of hamas, if they can show the palestinian women and children in the b

interesting, you talked about richard nixon, people think of watergate or think of nixon and china or maybe 1960, the race against johnelected president and in some ways, the turmoil of that year shaped what happened later on in his presidency. you've just written a book on the nixon tapes, which are extraordinary recordings of much of his time in office. we know that a lot of the recordings that richard nix wron made in the office ultimately proved his undoing, but there's one conversation i want to play for you right now, because it's pertinent to what's going on today, it's about the middle east and president nixon is talking about henry kissinger, his national security adviser and ultimately secretary of state and why he would not be the right person to try to negotiate peace in the middle east. let's listen. it's fascinating to hear, i don't know if it's more telling about his opinion of the jews at the time or psycho-torturous relationship he had with henry kissinger over the years. let's talk about the tapes in general. why did he make these? >> johnson told him to make them because lyndon johnson had done some
