. >> mr. nixon the loss of popular support and appearance of it could reduce the leadership to press on in the expectation that the united states would quit. >> the october moratorium made richard nixon go to the mountain top literally. he went to camp david for two weeks to write a speech. to answer the anti-war movement. the elites had gotten on the anti-war bandwagon. the press. harvard, the universities, the east coast establishment. by 1969 they were all anti-war. >> hell no, we won't go! >> nixon wanted to rise up and show there was another side. his side. the outsiders. the people who didn't go to harvard. who revered the flag and supported our soldiers. and he want to rally them. >> to you, the great silent majority of my fellow americans, i ask for your support. north vietnam cannot defeat or humiliate the united states. only americans can do that. >> the term silent majority clicked with middle america because they were never represented on television and they didn't feel they were represe

as he was walking over, nixon asked him to tell mrs. nixon the about some of his foreign-policy accomplishments. nixon goes to the restroom and kissinger dutifully starts in telling about his foreign policy achievements, and mrs. nixon says, "henry, you don't have to." you know, i mean, she understood about her husband, how awkward he was, even with his wife. i actually think the marriage was much closer than we think. we have all seen these photographs of her looking pained and unhappy. i think late in watergate, it was pretty bad. nixon even said in his memoirs that he doesn't tell his own wife he is resigning. he tells his secretary, rosmary woods, to tell mrs. nixon. you wonder how close they were in august 1974. but before that, in the early years, there are very touching love letters. she was the prettiest girl. if you look at old photographs of her, she was gorgeous. she became gaunt later but when she was 20 pounds heavier, she was a knockout. she helped him a lot in the early years. she stood by him and when he thought about quitting

mr. nixon's alone, not his party's. >> i think nixon was resolute. now i am liberated.ave to run again. now i am going to be whom i wish to be. >> the united states has resumed full-scale bombing of north vietnam, including the hanoi haiphong area. the north vietnamese said american planes carried out heavy attacks around those cities tonight and that hanoi's armed forces shot down a large number of planes and captured several pilots. >> first lieutenant to be 52. >> nixon wanted the communists to think he was crazy in the hopes that that would drive them back to the bargaining table. >> a lot of the civilian areas were hit apparently. >> civilian areas must have been hit, and i don't want to say that it was not a very painful thing to have to do. >> when 8,500-pound bombs go off one plane, that's the closest thing to a nuclear weapon. >> the response to the bombing was such an outrage. here is this small, third world country that the united states is bombing back to the stone age. >> the word from the president is military pressure will continue until a peace settlemen

the chicago votes were all coming in on razors edge, this is the years this and her daughters -- mrs. nixonears this and her daughters can hear her vomiting. finally at about 7:00 in the morning, they find out they won, and nixon is happy. he goes home to his apartment on fifth avenue and he puts "victory at sea" alone out the window. no family there. all alone. it is just dick. brian: before we more -- 01 mark lippert julie, you say in your book that nixon thought georgetown was out to get him. you say he was right. evan: today, the georgetown set does not exist. but back then, in the 1950's, and 1960's, very powerful. a group of cia, harvard and the yale alumni, very charming pleased with themselves. mrs. graham was at the center of this world, and joe also. i used to, i came in at the end at newsweek. i used to go to dinner and see them. they hated nixon. they said they were out to get him, mrs. helms, cynthia helms wife of the cia director richard helms, said there was no mercy for nixon at these dinner parties. henry kissinger was often the honored guest. kissinger, who could be shamel

mr. nixon to try to gain access to the tapes. today cox held a news conference and said since the president was defying the court he was going to defy the president. >> last night we were told the court order would not be obeyed. that the papers memoranda and mome documents thoof kind would not be provided at all. >> he let the president have it. this is obstruction of justice and that was the turning point. >> it was the limo seen on the west side driveway of the white house this afternoon with the number 77. it turned out to be elliot richard's limo and when reporters spotted him leaving the white house they knew something was in progress. >> what's the general reaction to the developments today? >> there will be an announcement from the white house later on. >> there will be? >> does it have to do with the resignation of the attorney general? >> it might. >> the following historic events occurred. the president of the united states demanded the attorney general fire special prosecutor cox. t

mr. nixon, with three recorded confers he had on june 23, 1972.larers were caught in waterergate. >> yes, the president himself, not only was he ininvolved in this, but he directed this criminal operation. >> the problem with that tape was that it contradicted what he had said. he had not told the country the truth! some of mr. nixon's most loyal supporters are calling for his resignation. >> i'm aware of the intense interest of the american people. tonight at 9:00, eastern daylight time, the president of the united states will address the nation on radio and television from this oval office. >> as you probably can see behind us, we have a large number of people who have been standing by to watch the various television networks. most here out of curiosity and concern. only the cbs crew shall be in the room now. only the crew. no, there will be no picture. >> just a few moments. we have 40 seconds to go now. the president has taken his place at the table in the white house where he's going to speak. >> good evening. this is the 37th time i have spo

. >> i think mr. nixon is an effective leader of his party. i hope he would grant me the same. question before us is which point of view and which party do we want to lead the united states. >> mr. nixon, would you like to comment on that statement? >> i have no comment. >> if you are live on television and there is a camera right here, there is really no place to hide. once you see a guy sweating when asked a question, are you sure he is the leader for you? >> that's the question before the american people, and only you can decide what you want. what you want this country to bee, what you want to do with the future. i think we're ready to move. >> if you saw it on television, clearly kennedy had won that debate. >> general men, thank you very much for permitting us to present the next president of the united states on this unique program. >> it was the beginning of a new form of political craftsmanship. you could structure the message appropriately for the tv camera you could have a huge impact. and if you couldn't, you were toast. >> i'd like you to give a real "tonight" welc

and mr. nixon had that idea and he was right. >> ben just said we're paying for it with a printing press. at some point somebody realizes that out there. the chinese, the japanese and they stop buying our printing press. >> what? >> charlie, you're young. >> thank you. >> it's a problem for your generation not for mine. >> that's a good point. >> this does put us on a path of greece and we can have fun with it but you can't dispute where we're heading. we layer on more and more of these benefits these promises that we simply cannot pay for. >> so the republicans talk about dismantling the law, the house, for example, voted to repeal the medical devices tax. >> never going to happen. >> that's a revenue raiser. you have to pay for it somehow. >> it's here to stay. >> think about what ben said about the off balance sheet nature of the u.s. that's all the stuff if you put it all together we are in trouble. that's what happened with greece. greece got into the european union because goldman sachs and o

it was mrs. nixonho blocked it at the white house. >> did they ever have bible studies in the white house? mr. seale: not that i know of but they may have. the women had their friends over for different things and that wouldn't be such an unusual thing to do. i wish i could be definitive but i'm not. ms. swain: one more question. >> one of the nicest complements ever paid me and my husband was that we made a good team. of course i said to this young man, it's called marriage. i would like to know in your estimation, what president and first lady made the best team. mr. seale: all back through history? >> yes. [laughter] mr. seale: it would either be rutherford and lucy hale's or -- hayes or the garfield's. hayes was always amused at lucy's morality. she was against alcohol. if you read about prohibition, there was a reason for it. she got on the temperance wagon. as he was being elected suddenly a great surge of votes appeared. he quit drinking too. there are reports that on the train to washington, he

k.t.: only nixon can go to china? mr. lord: i agree with my colleagues, this is not inevitable. ght flank was protected because he was a known anti-communist. his party people, some of who might have suspected or not liked what he was doing, had to be loyal, although there were still holdouts who were angry no matter whether he was there president or not. democrats were more apt to be sympathetic in some respects. the old clichÉ has truth to it namely that nixon could go to china, it would be a lot more difficult for a democrat. if humphrey had tried to do that, he would have been hammered by the republicans. nixon could quiet things down. i remember flying back, and nixon and kissinger and those who were not so enthusiastic like pat buchanan and so on, all wondered about what the reaction was going to be in the united states. we were not aware of these dramatic pictures of nixon and joe and i toasting each other on the great wall. we did not realize how popular it was. there were some who were upset. war era and so on -- the cold war era and so on. it just shows you that even th

. >> it is overcast and raining in washington as president and mrs. nixonto leave the white house for the last time as the first family. >> we have a remarkable development at the brandenburg gate. >> he interviewed the great nelson mandela. >> i know you've not been out of prison for very long but have you been able to block the worst memories of those years from your life or do you live with them every day? >> no, it's difficult to do so. >> well he offered a reassuring voice the morning after the nation was hit on 9/11. let's watch that. >> so far manhattan has been changed. there's been a declaration of war by terrorists on the united states. >> and now he brings us a book about his own personal battle which interrupted what he calls his lucky life. joining me now is tom brokaw the author of "a lucky life interrupted." and the book has so much charm and a lot of guts in it. i have to go back to the berlin wall, because i was there five or six days later. you were there. this thing about being a great journalist, it's showing up it's being there. and you

if any of those five presidents, mr. nixon, mr. ford mr. reagan and mr. bush did any of them shut down hud? >> no. >> did any of them admit defeat in hud's mission? >> no. >> but today yet we hear that it's a failed mission and we should shut it down. i guess that would come as a surprise to mr. reagan and others. prior to hud, were there any programs anywhere to help seniors find decent affordable housing? >> no, with the advent of hud, that really led to the assistance of the elderly -- >> so without hud, there would be no, not less but none, there would be no senior housing programings in this country whatsoever? >> that is right, the answer if not hud, then no one. >> then no one. so i guess i have heard a lot of criticism, and i actually think i have heard some fair comments. but the criticism, i believe in giving elected officials whatever they want whenever possible. and i have heard several elected officials today publicly state that they think that hud's programs are failing. so if they have a failing program why would they want your money? i act

did any of those five republican presidents, mr. nixon, mr. ford mr. reagan, mr. bush, and mr.h, did any of them shut down hud? >> no of course not. >> did any of them admit defeat in hud's mission? >> no. >> but today we're hearing that hud is a failed agency and we should probably close it down. i guess that would come as a surprise to mr. reagan and others. prior to hud were there any programs anywhere to help seniors find decent, affordable housing? >> no. with the advent of hud that really led to the assistance -- >> without hud there who be no not less but none, there would be no senior housing programs in this country whatsoever. >> that's right. the answer is if not hud, then no one is there. >> then no one. so i guess i have heard a lot of criticism today, and i think i heard some fair questions and fair comments but of the criticism, i believe in giving elected officials what they want whenever possible, and i have heard several elected officials today publicly state that they think that hud's programs are failing, so, therefore, if they have a failing program, why wo

mr. harlow. i was around president nixon a lot. and i saw mr. harlow. what i remember about them is how far reaching he was at i have on my wall some notes he used in the congressional leadership meeting that he would have on tuesdays. where he described the environmental movement, which was developing in the united states in 1970 or 1971. and president next and was trying to explain the republican senators in congress --president nixon was trying to explain that it was coming. that is when earth day was created. that is when the clean air and clean water acts were passed unanimously. president nixon was far ahead of this time in understanding the importance of the environment. his administration created the epa, which is one of the agencies republicans most detest because of its overreach. bill clinton is a gifted person. i know him very well. we were elected governor the same day in 1978. and he and hillary and honey my wife and i, would see each other often at conferences. we worked on the same problems -- on education, on roads, on healthy children,

mr. nixon's refusal to cash in on the presidency, he refused to sit on corporate boards didn't want to acceptout in later years? is there a certain dignity or respect that should be afforded to him for not cashing in? >> he's remembered from the famous clip where he said i'm not a crook. actually nixon was not venal. he made terrible mistakes. when we got out of office he never gave a paid speech. he wouldn't take speaking fees for his speeches because he thought it was -- it was not dignified. nixon was a fighter. he was disgraced and yet he did come back. he became a kind of elder statesman in his old age. he's an amazing guy. he had a lot of courage. he was weak in some ways and fatally weak, but he also was brave. >> well given your past and your ability to write, i know this is a winner of a book "being nixon: a man divided." thank you, evan for spending time with us. >> thank you alex. i really appreciate it. >>> ahead, more from the a.m.e. church in charleston south carolina, where hundreds gather to mourn the lives lost there last week. can your make up do this? covergirl introduces m

nixon wouldn't touch it. jackie robinson got on the train and said, you got to do something, mr. vice president. nixon said that would be grandstanding. it just sounds like rick santorum, i would cheapen the issue. why do people come up with these phrases? >> it's fear and political calculation. it's the lack of moral certitude on something as important and significant as dr. king being illegally jailed or a flag that, you know, a significant portion of the population view as racist and antithetical to their interests. so getting beyond that fear has been a real struggle for a lot of politicians. >> i wonder, could any other guy, besides nikki haley, have done the dramatic thing -- i know how affected you were by it because we played a clip of it and i didn't grow up down there like you did. this was one of the rare times when someone looked like a leader. >> i thought she was terrific, yesterday, i really did. i thought her tone was just right. not just the content of what she said, which very carefully, you know, kind of explained, we're talking earlier, like she was mama saying this is the way

up next, kevin mcmahon examines nixon's relationship with the supreme court. mr. mcmahon examines the strategy resident nixon used and how he hoped it would garner more votes in the 1972 presidential election, with opening remarks by supreme court antonin scalia, the supreme court historical society is the host of this event and includes the presentation of the urban griswold book prize, which was awarded to kevin mcmahon. >> good evening. my name is don air. i am a lawyer in washington and the chairman of the supreme court historical society's publication committee. i was honored to serve on the selection committee for the griswold prize and i am pleased to welcome you to the 2015 erwin griswold prize lecture. i have to ask everyone to make sure your cell phones, smart phones, tablets are turned off. they tell me if you do not do that the sound system may not function right, among other things. erwin griswold was surely one of the most remarkable lawyers of the last century, distinguishing himself in many ways during his 65-year legal career. among other things, h

author kevin mcmahon discusses the strategy between -- nine nixon's court appointments and the impact he had on the court and american politics. mrmcmahon's book is it since court -- his challenge to do just will -- judicial liberalism. justice scalia makes remarks. >> good evening, my name is don air. i am a lawyer here in washington and i am also the chairman of the supreme court historical association. i was lucky enough to serve as a member this year of the selection committee of the griswold prize. i am pleased to welcome you to the prize lecture. before we proceed, given the surroundings we are in, i have to make sure that everyone turns up their cell phones tablets. if we do not do that, the system may not function right among other things. erwin griswold was surely one of the most remarkable lawyers of the last century.

> it isn't the first time the president has uttered the word, true man lbj nixon were all on record. a demeaning racial slur. mr. obama has used the n word in the past, in his memoir, dreams from my father, the word appears several times. the president invoked the speech the spring in selma. intera notion that progress is real and we have to take hope from that progress. but what is also real is that the march isn't over and the work is not yet completed. >> mike viqueria, al jazeera washington. >> two supreme court rulings today took aim at government power, the court decided that the department of agriculture seizure of raisins is unconstitutional. the case centered on a program from the 1940s that forced raisin farmers to give up a significant portion of their crop for free. but in an 8 to 1 vote the justices say if the government wants produce from american farmers it has to pay for it. >>> the justices decided against police their search in hotel registry industries violates the fourth amendment. constituting an unreasonable search. they will have to get a warrant. >>> new clues clues from the manhunt for

nixon's greatest enemies, the georgetown set my old boss, misses graham, , he's having fun with the president and making jokes about his drinking habits. kissinger is charming and self-deprecating. mrsaham and her crowd just loved him. but nixon knew his principal foreign-policy advisor was selling him out on a regular almost weekly basis. charlie: he tolerated it because he thought he would be an agent of mind to change history? evan: he tolerated him for a number of reasons. he said henry needs this. he needs to be this way. he was hurt by it. nixon would say there goes henry , to talk to the georgetown crowd again. i think it did hurt his feelings. he had to sort of bear it. he got a lot out of kissinger. one thing that is important about nixon and kissinger nixon was the idea guy. kissinger will tell you this. the idea to go to china was richard nixon's idea. in fact when kissinger heard that nixon was going to go to china, he said, fat chance. kissinger brilliantly executed nixon's policy, and nixon was lucky to have somebody as smart as kissinger with him. but he was the one calling the shots. tim: it is true that nixon was the great strategists and kissinger was the tactician

in any of those five presidents mr. nixon mr. ford, mr. bush and mr.ush, did any of them shut down hud? >> now come up horse not. >> did any of them admit defeat? >> no. >> today we hear how we hear hud is a failed agency and we should close it down. .com is a surprise to mr. reagan and others. prior to hud was there any programs anywhere to help seniors find decent affordable housing? >> with the advent of hud that led to the assistants -- >> without hud there'd be no not less, but no senior housing programs in this country whatsoever. >> that is right. if not hud, then no one. >> so i guess i've heard a lot of criticism. i believe in giving elected officials what they want whenever possible. i've heard several officials say they think they are failing the program. buy what they want your money. they are doing a pretty good job and i suggest you give them exactly what they want, which is nothing had to spend your money into my district is i think you're doing a great job. [laughter] i'm not saying that out as anything than the spot and i hope is a for

nixon. may not work for mrs.ing at it. >> we are awaiting hillary clinton to speak at a community event near ferguson missouri. we'll bring that live when that happens. you have a very provocative kicker on the end. you say with the hindsight of history, we can see that nixon's downfall was predictable. actually, his possibility flaws well-known before he was elected and so are hillary's. are you making a prediction? >> she will have the little scandals to keep biting her. look. something she is involved in now nowhere near watergate, it's not. it doesn't go away. it nips at her. voter vs to realize he swoent be forthcoming and sunny and i just don't think that's who she is and her husband has been reckless, you know and various ways. and that could also come back to haunt her. he's i think wised up in some ways. sure he has. but there's a persistence to the scandal around the clintons that has to be troubling to their own supporters and her kind of sense of a grievance doesn't wear well with the press. you can i

first, we will go to a phone conversation between richard nixon and his chief of staff mr. haldeman, who he had just fired on april 30,1973. this is after he gave an important watergate speech. it is an audio thing. let's listen to this phone conversation. >> hello? >> hi. >> i hope i didn't let you down. >> no, sir. you got your points over and now you're -- you -- you've got it set right and move on. you're in -- right where you ought to be. >> well, it's a tough thing, bob, you lose your job and the rest. but, god damn it, i'm never going to discuss this son-of-a-bitching watergate thing again. never, never, never, never. don't you agree? >> yes, sir. you'

that investigators would have to look no further than nixon's tape-recorded conversations from the oval office. "now, i guess you're fully aware, mr. dean of the gravity of the charges you have made, under oath, against the highest official of our land, the president of the united states?" "yes, i am." "the president said last night that his denials of any part in the watergate cover up had been challenged by one man. he didn't name the man, but it is clear from these excerpts of testimony that the man whose word it is against the president's is john dean." "and i state again to everyone of you listening tonight these facts. i had no prior knowledge of the watergate break-in." dean's revelation marked the beginning of the end for nixon. in march, 1974, a grand jury indicted seven of the president's former aides and named nixon as an "unindicted co-conspirator." then, in july, the supreme court ordered nixon to turn over the tapes. he complied. handing over undeniable evidence of his involvement. and facing almost certain impeachment. on august 8, 1974, nixon resigned. "but as president, i must put the interest of america first. th

mr. bush was vice president that won this cold war because his administration and leadership took an offensive posture against the soviet union. the other administrations nixon, et cetera, tried to manage it. it was reagan who acknowledged, mr. sununu that put the soviet union on its heels. >> you can watch all of this segment online at c-span.org. we are leaving this and taking you live in washington to the investiture, the swearing in ceremony for attorney general loretta lynch. this second swearing in is the formal investiture ceremony at the warrener theater in washington. she was officially sworn in by the president on april 27. president obama is expected to speak. live coverage here on c-span. >> to the admiration and respect that attorney general lynch inspires. i also want to recognize the many friends and family members of the attorney generals who have traveled here really from all over the current. i should probably tell you -- all over the country. i should probably tell you you can sit down now. it was going to be a long program if you all were standing for the entire time. i want -- as i said, welcome the many family and friends of the attorne

nixon boulevard. the suspect was stopped and the officers identified the only occupant of the vehicle as dylann roof. mr. roof was taken into custody at 10:49 a.m. he was transported here to the shelby police department. the charleston police department federal bureau of investigations were both notified of mr. roof's capture. we currently have representatives from all of the agencies that are involved in this investigation here on site to work through the process of getting mr. roof back to south carolina. i would like to add that this has been a great representation of what teamwork can accomplish through the cooperation of law enforcement, the community and the media of this suspect was apprehended. we do appreciate the cooperation of our law enforcement partners especially the community for calling information in as they have seen it. our local district attorney's office as well as the u.s. attorney's office. at this time, i want to turn you over to special agent in charge. >> good afternoon. my name is john strong. first, i'd like to start off by thanking the chief and his staff with the shelby pol

mr. scully: take china, russia. how do you think they view the u.s.? former senator webb: i believe that our country needs a new and clear strategic doctrine. the last clear strategic doctrine was actually the nixon doctrine that came in 1969-1970, regarding when the united states was going to be involved in internal violence inside different countries. particularly, since the fall of the soviet union, we haven't had a clear explanation of how we are going to pursue our national interests. after 9/11, it has gotten more difficult. i think all of these major regional powers or countries like china, which is attempting to be more than a regional power, china and russia are going to be conducting naval exercises in the mediterranean the summer, they need to hear from us that these are the areas in which we as a country will declare our national security and we will back up our concerns. not just with military confrontation, but with economic sanctions or messages as well. mr. scully: you have seen this not only through your own eyes but also through your son who has served. what advice did you give him before he was deployed? he served in iraq, correct? former senator webb: yes. my son was -- left p
