nixon resigned, these are people who believed nixon had positive trades. in the end every member of the house judiciary committee which was considering impeachment, vote to impeach nixon, 30 or 42 people. he crossed it political constitutional and moral line who caused his own party to reject him, are they good things? sure. the republican party and the democratic party and citizens of the country said we cannot have this level, we cannot have this criminal.

in that role, nixon set, nixon set a tape, he will do anything. i mean anything. colson now achieved his point of her warfare, he joined a meeting convened by the and in the white house and taking action in the spirit of kissinger's encouragement to really clobber them for the presidents political enemies he telephoned his contact at the new york city construction council. on friday may eighth, hundreds of hardhats carry lead pipes and crowbars attacked antiwar protesters and broad wall street, cracking heads and breaking bones. whether 70 people were injured. the hardhats hardhats got an invitation to the white house and brennan became nixon's labor secretary. this footage of it ran on the evening news tens of thousands of protesters were gathering in washington from across the country, trucks are transported soldiers for the executive office building for the night and two rings of buses barricaded the white house. nixon was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. he stayed up all night that night, quote agitated and on easy and his in his own words. frantically mak

nixon blamed nixon blamed the attorney general for the politically tone deaf nominations. the attorney general's prior selection was rejected for his record of racism, but he took his wrath out of the senate. multiple unsolvable problems bearing in. nixon responded to the senate resistance with a wide range. set up a political attack he commanded. the president ordered to retired new york city police officers overseen to conduct undercover investigations of senate opponents, notably different notably teddy kennedy, birch and proxmire call for prominent democrats who fought mixes military policies and supreme court nominees. as part of what nixon called an all-out hatchet job on the democratic leaders including the internal revenue service to investigate finances. the ex- cops nixon hired were jack caulfield and tough tony was paid off the books with 1968 campaign cash doled out by nixon's personal lawyer and political bagman. tough tony told teddy kennedy for nearly two years for the department of dirty tricks. by april 19 the communists were 20 miles from the cambodian bo

it was eyes about nixon. it was using the presidency as a personal engine of revenge and reward and that is the corruption and criminality and then now this new portrait in vietnam. how many people -- i was yesterday at the army war college in carlisle pennsylvania speaking to 400 kernels and lieutenant colonels who were there at the school and one of the questions i asked was, and he says that bess. i said how many of you think the vietnam war made sense? there were six hands that went up. six hands and you know vietnam is in our history and culture and it is agony in this country and to discover the commander in chief was bombing the asians out of the country and people and continues this war is something i think as i said i was in the navy and as you know that is unthinkable and that is not as bad as watergate but it is a moral failure that is really significant to understand because we get into wars. we have seen presidents in wars recently. i did for books on bush's wars and the politics enters and why d

, and the nixon white house, how did moynihan end of with nixon. >> nixon thought it would be the newixon, bringing in a liberal to conservative administration. literally, you know this is going to change his social policy because nixon was a conservative, in hand with a liberal but he challenge nixon in the white house by peaking at comparable conservative and they fought over the heart and soul of richard nixon. of family assistance plan which was the most liberal social action positions since the new deal and strangely it was daniel patrick moynihan, the liberal who won so it is a fascinating story and i was lucky because i was next to pat moynihan and arthur bird helps me by keeping a diary which he never published so i never knew what was happening on both sides of the story and these things don't happen very often a you are in a position to study history from the basement of the west wing and that is where the book comes from. >> the timeline, wind did you join the nixon administration each >> i did not plan to be in the nixon white house. i wanted another experience. it would b

the old nixon. >> i wrote a diary of being on the nixon campaign plane.st saying, what does he believe in? what does he care about? how can we trust him? i realize that the person i felt most related to was robert kennedy. >> i have traveled and i have listened to the young people of our nation. and felt their anger about the war that they are sent to fight, about the world that they are about to inherit. i am announcing, today, my candidacy for the presidency of the united states. [ applause ] >> eugene mccarthy clears the way and tests the water. but he wasn't the guy who was going to get there. bobby was going to get there. >> this nation must adopt a foreign policy which says clearly and distinctly, no more vietnams. [ applause ] >> you have the declaration of another rival candidate from within his own party, currents of anti-war sentiment are building up, and at the same time, the war is getting worse. i think if you're lyndon johnson, you feel you're being surrounded by a stampede. >> good evening, my fellow americans. tonight, i want to speak to y

he appreciated nixon's patronage. nixon made it a lot possible for them. he made his life har hard with watergate but he gave them the u.n., the republican national committee. now, nixon's view of your father is one that's really important because it endured in parts of the political culture. and your father told me this and it's in the papers. nixon didn't think your dad, he doubted your fathers tough this, consistently. he thought he was a loyal appointee. nixon once said to george shultz, bush takes our line beautifully. but that was his job. he served in these non-executive jobs, one of the reason why he might have had a little trouble articulating the vision of things later, is he was never in an executive job where you had to do. you are encouraged to subsume your vision because you were serving the president of the united states. so your dad said in diaries, he said to me, that he thought some of the beginning of the sense that he was a wimp or didn't quite have the guts to do it, begin with the nixon. but the other critical element is one of the re

well, nixon loved football, he played in college. linebacker is a response to the north vietnamese easter offensive in march 1972. what is the key player on a football team that will play defense? nixon says it is the linebacker. so his operations are going to be called linebacker 1 and 2. it all takes place in 1972. million bombs dropped on north vietnam to the course of 1965-1972. because so much has been made about the ability of the air war to win the war, i'm going to focus the remainder of my remarks on that aspect of the conflict. thesisgive you my briefly, which is in three parts. here is the first. bombing is not a good idea in all types of war. "duh."a water is wet. strategic bombing in a conflict like vietnam is likely to hurt the nation doing the bombing more than it hurts the enemy. i will go further than that. in the vietnam conflict, especially operation rolling thunder, the bombing there actually helps the enemy while it hurts us. how could that be? well, ho chi minh knows we have strict political restrictions, rules

finally, what is richard nixon fighting for? , his predecessor, fought for a stable, non-communist, vietnam. forard nixon is fighting peace with honor, a euphemism for america at getting the heck ,ut of vietnam with its pows and not having the south fall in the immediate aftermath of american withdrawal. in richard nixon's own words, we were fighting for a decent interval for south vietnam. that political objective is infinitely easier to achieve with any form of military power than what lyndon johnson was after. well, the united states air force will focus on those 11 days at the end of the war, and the north vietnamese signed the paris peace accords less than a month later. linebacker 2 vindicated what our doctrine said. strategic bombing is the key war of american air power. with continued advancement of strategic missiles, and now a new strategic bomber in the form of a drone, not only have air force officers endorsed that have the, but so too last 4 presidents of the united states -- including the current individual. that i

when he goes into see nixon, nixon has decided he wants to make him an assistant to the president. again, what is 2nd prize? and so president bush makes the case, you know,case, you know, i really think i could do more good for you at the un. no one is up there making the case, supporting you. it was a brilliant, brilliant tactical argument because nixon is looking at the son of prescott bush, with whom he has served in the senate, polished son, ivy league son of a senator and thinking, you know what, what bush is saying is right. if he goes up there he can make the case for me. i am the grocer son from yorba linda and having this more patrician figure will work for me, process happens. he sent them out to find bush white house office. you know what i thought about this. george herbert walker bush of the shortest white house staff career of anyone. it was about 40 minutes. there was another wrinkle in their, he said here's another thing, don't live on the 42nd floor apartment of the waldorf-astoria. go to greenwich, commute in, establish residency and then run against a river cough

nixon was a hater. it's all on tape. he hated blacks, he hated liberals, and once you were on his you know what list, his enemies list you were there and on the other hand the united states supported the creation of the state of israel and congress the united states never wavered in that supported in those days the chechens and syrians were supported by the soviets. there is a terrible moment during the 1973 war that you refer to win indeed after a number of snafus and emergency airlift of weapons was organized from the united states to tel aviv. the soviets are detected by american intelligence shipping nuclear warheads through the dardanelles to the mediterranean the national security council kissinger the chairman of the joint chiefs meet. nixon, that week had come the saturday night massacre which the attorney general, the assistant attorney general quit because nixon ordered them against a lost to fire the special prosecutor of the investigator of watergate so while this is happening next in his upstairs in the resi

nixon. richard nixon showed little interest when his wife grew faint in the sun.ot in to lie down on a the library. craig: that was from jim holy. he told me this story and i just thought it was too wonderful to leave out. it is not germane to the story, it is not central to the story, but it is a good backdrop to the story. she was laying there and she was pleading. saying tell nancy i wish i could have been there for her. and then she recovered. but the whole time she was laying there suffering from a heat stroke, nixon is talking about college football. she recovers and they go to the car and he goes to the door and goes in and sits down and leaves his wife to fend for herself. to go to the far door and open it up and fend for herself. brian: did jim really think that represented the way richard nixon was to his wife on a regular basis? craig: i don't know. i did not ask him that. brian: then, later on in the book, page 316. craig: i knew that he was very miffed, richard nixon was miffed at hillary clinton for not attending his wife's funeral when hillary was f

nixon is the one. 1960 eightwas a campaign ad for richard nixon.ng me from chicago to talk about that man and what he has in common with donald trump is author of the acclaimed book "nixonland." rick, it's great to see you today. people say there's a lot about donald trump as a candidate and a lot about this moment and some of the dynamics that trump is playing to that remind them of nixon. .tart with trump as candidate what parallels do you see between him as a candidate and andway nixon ran in 1968 1970 two? rick: the parallel is the demagoguery and the appeal to the aces instincts of middle-class white voters who fear for the safety of their homes and families, but, of course, these are trends that go back certainly to the 1950's in the party. think of joseph mccarthy. put forth with reagan, saying that his policy in the cold war was "we win, they lose." certainly, newt gingrich. going forward with bush. amalgam of lots of trends in the party. nick said was also a guy who had a lot of subtlety in his policy thinking and his geostrategic thinking

nixon has trained for this job. [end video clip] brian: it did not work out so well for him on that prediction. tyler: no. two presidential elections he has been wrong on. there is one later in the diary, where it is -- i think it is early 1968, and he predicts that, if nixon is nominated, he will lose. but he just predicts that in the diary. as far as i know, it did not appear in a column or on the radio. brian: in 1964 in the diary, he did say this -- i have already come to the conclusion that ike has no guts. why didn't he like eisenhower? tyler: that's a very good question. i was with him in 1951. we were in europe together. and he sought out ike. we talked for a while. that was the only time i think i ever personally met eisenhower. i was a freshman in college. so, there was a personal relationship. but as a president, he didn't do what drew would have liked to have done. and i don't think there was one specific thing. maybe mccarthy. because a lot of people criticized ike for not taking after mccarthy. and eis

in this case, nixon was silent. and then i got something saying please add this to the draft it is a short paragraph about vietnam. what it was all about, it was worded in bureaucracy, even kissinger, kissinger always said that the verbs back in the middle of the sentence where they belong. so i did. i changed the wording i got a call i absolutely had to go to camp david because the president was really unhappy with the way the wording had been changed. well, cut to the chase, what was happening was nixon was deciding whether or not to mine the harbors and increased bombing of vietnam, a huge step back in a after. he was about to go to moscow. he had just been to china. everything was falling in place. the first arms control treaty was signed at the new era. and kissinger felt that nixon shouldn't do anything that ought to upset the russians soviets. and yet, mixing, the north vietnamese, anyway he was making the decision. he finally decided to go ahead and do this against kissinger's advice, one of his boldest deci

nixon says the threat remains high. "you're talking about almost 10 more vertical feet of moving water. so the power we're talking about, as well ashe volume, is extremely significant." other rivers are also flooding in missouri. as this video shows, several businesses have flooded in the town of union in eastern missouri after a small river raged out of control. nixon has called oututhe missouri national guard to help monitor levees and to move people to safety. family members of a dubuque native who died last week in afghanistan are going to new york for his funeral. air national guard sergeant joseph lemm was born in dubuque and had family in the new vienna - buena vista area. the new york city police detective was one of six u-s service people who died in a suicide bombing on december 21st. he's survived by his wife and their two children. charged with murder in the shooting of 17-year-old laquan mcdonald pleaded not guilty today. jason van dyke is charged with first degree murder and official misconduct in the octo

nixon says: if we could say anything over and over it would be don't drive in the water. of the fatalities we've had, everyone has been someoen in the water, most of them ended up being at night. nixon toured flooded areas near the st. louis-area community of pacific on wednesday afternoon. that came just hours before the meramec river's scheduled crest at more than 18 feet above flood stage. and with the levee just a few hundred feet from their homes--a mandatory evacuation is underway here in valley park, missouri. the people who live closest to that levee are packing up and moving out. northcutt says: waiting wishing hoping praying that the levee holds up and everything stays dry for us. harris says: it wears you out. this is the last time i want to have to do this. if it does flood i probably wont move back here. and in this area tonight dozens of hotels and businesses forced to close. we've seen police closely monitoring the area for looting but governor nixon says so far there have been no reports. in valley park, missouri, matt finn, fox news. the flood is expected

nixon is urging people in the area to avoid the floodwaters in order to stay safe. still to come.... on action news... live at -5-... is this a possible hate crime? we'll tell you... about the strange discovery of bacon.... at a las vegas mosque. and a contact 13 consumer alert... warns nevadans about an ongoing phone scam. plus... here's what we're working on right now.... for action news... live at six: a fiery plane crash and one man is dead. now the fbi's taking over the investigation. you're watching channel 13 action news... where you ask and we investigate... stay with us. the f-b-i is now involved.... the f-b-i is now involved.... in a possible hate crime.... after a spring valley mosque was covered in bacon. one of the founding members of that mosque is speaking out. action news reporter... marissa kynaston.... has his reaction.

, or was this just nixon wanting control over everything he touched?>> i think that was his master plan, and i think that's the gamble, that he could do everything secretly before he got caught. and he managed to accomplish many of his goals, opening the china detente with the soviet union and ending the vietnam war before everything caught up to him. >> we talk about nixon taking the unprecedented move, but did it set precedent for future administrations? >> i think every president since nixon has consolidated national security planning in the white house up through the obama administration. you hear from any cabinet agency they don't believe they have enough authority, that the white house controls everything, and i think that's something that's endured for the last 45 years. >> why did you pick this story? >> i've long been interested in nixon, grew up with him as president and had been looking at various facets of his life and administration and found some things that kind of led me to this and some, you know, fairly significant discoveries, i thin

he is somebody who has really mined the richard nixon archives. if you are interested in reading about richard nixon -- he got us out of vietnam also. i highly recommend that book if you are interested in richard nixon and eisenhower. next question? >> i would like to first thank you for a marvelous evening. it was one of the most entertaining programs. we have attended a great number of these. we appreciate it. i have a question, if i may. it seems that one of eisenhower's traits that did not get mentioned was his ability to work with different people. showing my age again, you imagine working with charles de gaulle, winston churchill, bernard montgomery, george patton, omar bradley, and surviving it? it seems to me that this is a trait that i think of as very important for dwight d. eisenhower. yanek: good question, yes. he showed that during world war ii. in world war ii, he was not a brilliant strategist. he does not go down in history as a strategic general. he was known more as somebody who could work well with different egos and allies. he

nixon comes in, they have a strained relationship but still very close. it depends on the president. he did not like truman in many ways. -- he undermined truman in many ways. >> when hoover died, his longtime secretary destroyed a lot of his records. dr. charles: there was the famous secret files of hoover, these were his office files, and this is one of the clever ways he got around fbi files being subject to court discovery motions, a lawyer would ask through a judge for the fbi to release somebody's fbi files. hoover would say, the official files at the fbi contain nothing about this person. that's because that document was not in the official files, it was in his office files, and that is what was destroyed. there were two of them. one of them was destroyed almost totally. the other one survived. we can workers -- we can reconstruct a lot of that. that's how he operated. very cleverly. >> thank you, dr. charles, for being with us this evening.

kissinger felt that nixon should do anything with the russians, soviets. had-- anyway, he was making this decision and finally decided to go ahead and do this against kissinger's advice. eventually, eight months later led to the end of american involvement in vietnam. this is what was preoccupying him and he just did have time to think about the canadian parliament. only speech i ever wrote that he changed one word. probably the best speech ever made. in the income i saw nixon and all he did was ask if i'm 70 goodtime, was a comfortable, did i want to go bowling. so nice. >> was that when you walked in and he was sitting in the dark by himself quÉbec yes. i may have even wrote about it. at any rate, here's later out at the national archives and the director was showing me through the nixon papers and he said, let's look up your name and see what pops up. so, he put my name in and up popped alderman's account of that woman when i changed the language. haldeman writes nixon absolutely blew up, went into a tie rate of hobby speechwriters don't understand the

he's down lower than nixon almost, when nixon departed. now we've got obama, and the people have had enough of that. and the demand for change is very dramatic, michael. i agree with you, if you've got a normal thing and you run the normal demography, let's say we've got a bush-clinton race. i think clinton would be the favorite and the republicans would really have to hold ohio and all the rest of it, florida. but this could be a dramatically different kind of race, given what's going on in the united states. and what's going on in europe. look at poland, look at hungary, look at what's happening in frances and place. all of these places, the right is really moving. >> patrick, a subject you pay close attention to, the shifting demographic of this country. papa bush got 59% of the white vote in '88. it earned him 426 electoral votes. mitt romney got the exact same share of the white vote, and it only yielded him 206 electoral votes, largely because the face of the country has changed. that's the message i don't think the republican party
