roberts: richard nixon had been in office for two years.e ran in 1968 against hubert humphrey, the democrat on a platform that had two parts. one was to restore law and order because there had been riots and uprisings in the cities, antiwar demonstrations. students occupying college campuses, that was one part of his vision. the other part was to end the war, and the disorder that it was causing in our country. he managed an extremely narrow victory over humphrey. the margin of victory that nixon had over humphrey was less than the 2016 election. if you were trying to gauge the division in the country that is a good measure. nixon, instead of ending the war , he expanded it geographically. in 1970 he sent troops over the border of vietnam into cambodia, and that had engendered a huge national student uprising against the war which ended in this tragic shooting at a university campus in ohio where national guardsmen killed four students. in 1971 in the spring nixon decided to expand the war into laos, and that spawned another uprising in the

despite with the nixon administration was doing.hat protest was held on a saturday and while most people went home, the folks who stayed behind with the militants over the next week. everybody was coordinated in terms of knowing who is doing what when. host: as the crowd size continues to mount, what was happening on the security side and the political side? when were the decisions made that enough was enough with all of these protests moving into begin arrests? guest: during the spring, the nixon folks and the justice department and others were getting more and more concerned about the political impact of the demonstrations, because they were extremely successful. the vietnam vets coming to town was a new thing. soldiers coming from a war that was still going on, coming to the city to express their opposition to that war, returning their combat medals to congress, that was shocking to a lot of americans who may not have been playing as close attention to the antiwar movement. that was politically very dangerous to the nixon folks,

this is a lot different in the case that richard nixon . watergate? different i in the case that richard nixon never went to trial after he was impeached by the house. the republican hierarchy basically saw the writing on the wall after this smoking gun tape came out where richard nixon basically instructed his aides to contact the cia to direct the fbi to stop the investigation into the watergate cover—up. basically, they saw the writing on the wall of the are the facts, the tape and showed that nixon was losing his support and goldwater who was the senior republican senator at the time basically told them that he would be voting to convict and that is what caused richard nixon to leave. this obviously is a completely different situation, we've got a number of republican senators who were not really basing their verdict on the facts. they believe they cannot afford to that if they were to convict, that it would leave to a primary challenge and ultimately their defeat from the senate and so we got a completely different political problem created by a

president kennedy and president nixon is only three years older, and president herbert walker bush is only six years older than kennedy and world war ii shapes them. and so many other kennedy siblings serve in the war, the military, or in civilian roles. and i think president kennedy would remind us to always to do that. you're doing a great job up there and i hope you have a great year. >> paul, always great to talk, i always look forward to visiting hyde park again soon. >> thank you, that is it for today, we hope to see you again in the future. >> you're watching "american history tv. american history tv on c-span 3 created by america's cable television companies and brought to you today by these companies that provide american history tv as a public service. >> congress passed the occupational safety health ak in 1970 and president nixon signed the bill into law. tonight we mark the 50th anniversary with three osha films released by the carter administration that were later recalled by the reagan administration. we start with mark caplin that helped preserve the films. watch tonig

talking about nixon because not just i know about nixon, we have evidence, we have a shared body of data and all of you -- we can actually all listen, it is there. we do not yet have, but i want to have it, a shared body of data about the trump era. we have a lot of public information but there's a lot more to learn. i have a feeling that the second impeachment may have actually deterred president trump from perhaps, pardoning some insurrectionists. i do not have evidence and i do not want to make the claim that he would have. presidents have had the power to pardon insurrectionists, indeed as professor blackman would certainly know, the founders did talk about perhaps using the pardon to calm our political environment by issuing one element of our history that i think really needs to be addressed. our founders did not think of a part of the era. they did not think in terms of political parties. that is one of the reason we have the 12th amendment is because it had to correct the electoral system. it had an imagined party and some of how they conceive of limits on the pardon, i think, ar

i spent today talking about nixon because, not just because i know -- i know nixon -- that we have evidence, we have shared body of data, and all of you, i know you are busy people, and you should be, we can actually all listen. it's there. we don't yet have, but i want us to have come a shared body of data about the trump -- we have a lot of public information but there's a lot more to learn. i have a feeling that the second impeachment, ms. jackson lee, may have actually deterred president trump from perhaps, perhaps pardoning some insurrectionists. i don't have evidence added a want to make the claim that he would have come but it is a question i will be asking as a historian. so yes, presidents have had the power to pardon insurrectionists. indeed, as professor blackman would certainly no, i am mentioning him because he talked about the issue amnesty, that the founders did talk about perhaps at times using the pardon to calm our political environment by issuing amnesty. one element of our history that i think really needs to be stressed is that our founders did not think of a partisan e

richard nixon fell from power.hat there have been moments where various institutions and various people have finally said that's enough, is i think the way to go. >> i agree. and there are people like jared ford there to pick up the phone, and both of us are optimistic people. i think they are definitely out, there is no question about it. >> absolutely. so we will read books and we will look at photographs. >> you should try the andrew jackson biography, for which he won a pulitzer prize. >> absolutely. >> we have learned so much tonight, david, john. thank you. [applause] [applause] >> thanks. that was good. >> nice job. , thank you very much. >> thank, you everybody. good night.

he had been the head of the federal reserve right before nixon took over your nixon fired him. he'd been the head of the federal reserve for 19 years. he would just kind of one of these e-mail men tennis play kind of guys would have his martinis and his cocktails and a third by different presidents and the alt-right to bully him. johnson. they would call them up and telling you do this with the money supply, you do that with the money supply. he would be like no. no, i'm going to do what i think is right. a lot of the postwar history of the united states dollar really from the 1940s to the 1970s when the dollar really became the most powerful currency on earth and probably the most powerful currency in the history of the earth he is the unsung hero of those years, william mcchesney martin. his father had gone broke and actually his uncle had gone broke, i'm sorry. in st. louis during some of the weather catastrophes of the early 19th century, and his uncle had also come and his father both had been involved in the creation of the st. louis fed. i got very interested in disguise

nixon would you like to comment?have no comment. >> ales engineered a miraculous makeover, producing highly staged town halls. >> this is a great country. >> it was a brilliant end run around the press. >> the next president of the united states, richard nixon. >> and it helped nixon win the presidency. but there was nothing ales could do to stop watergate. >> political sabotage, espionage, unparalleled in american history. >> he felt that the networks didn't treat the nixon with enough respect. >> i shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. >> he wanted to create a media vehicle that would be protection for the next nixon. >> roger ales former tv man for nixon. >> ales became the go-to right wing media strategist of the 1980s. >> big rog. how are you, pal? >> infamous for his vicious attacks. >> as governor michael dukakis gave weekend furloughs to first-degree murderers. >> in 1986 ales found his destiny. >> our job is to be objective. >> when billionaire rupert murdoch came calling. the right wing's

my belief of corrective action is from nixon from those materials available at the nixon library, .n my prepared statement i will detail and discuss the cynicism and lawlessness attached to nixon's approach to the pardon power. he did not issue those that he dangle them that not only became part of article one that was tasked by your committee but no doubt led to perjury. that that is an argument for not plowing this power to be unrestrained particularly in a partisan age with the tools of impeachment is no longer as much of a deterrent of that pardon as our founders who live in a pretty partisan age assumed it would be. thank you for your time i welcome your questions. ak >> thank you professor. with a five-minute rule. first according to your testimony that clemency grant overall created the appearance of a two track justice system. so with the appearance of impropriety of the clemency so dangerous to democratic order and the rule of all on - - rule of law generally? >> one of the challenges that we see can have real impact and undermine people's view of government. and with presi

i mean, people worried about nixon and nixon had a following then -- he still has a following. but the point is it was a very different party. the trump party has taken it furthest of being not only radical, but very vindictive. i mean, anybody who votes against his interests, they're getting censured by their state parties. people are going after them. they worry about their personal safety. this would not have been conceivable in 1974. >> it seems the 1974 republicans were worried about what would happen to them politically if they were associated with a criminal. in other words, they were worried about their future by being associated with a criminal president. >> well, that's true. but there was the other side of it, too. when the republican leaders went down to the white house, people get this wrong, and they say they told him to resign. no, they didn't dare tell him to resign. they said, sir, you don't have any support in the senate. and he was a smart man. they led him to draw his on conclusions. but that was partly -- it wasn't courage. they didn't want to vote, and so

which is what richard nixon did with the secretary-treasurer john connolly. when the dollar since it was created back in the last decade of the 18th century, had always in some way shape or form with very few exceptions had this thing called the underlying value. the underlying value either silver or gold prevent the various incarnations. their greenback dollars in the civil war that had underlined by that freaked everyone out. eventually had the federal reserve we have all this locked up in the basement. while the dollar is a dollar because 35000 get to an ounce of gold. they ran into trouble 1971 there are a lot more dollars out there and there is gold and the federal reserve. but he in his friends went to camp david said were going to float the dollar per it's no longer going to have an underlying value. with this magical language gonna close the gold window the magical window transferred paper to gold. no more we are done. the dollar is just a story. it is just words. and the story with credit to united states. even there we believe it or we don't. the mo

he said even in his debates with nixon his address to the nation at that point is, you know, can america live -- can the world live half free and half slave? he actually referred to lincoln in that speech although lincoln was talking about a literal slavery domestically and kennedy was referring to democracy versus communism. but it's an interesting take on the world, and i think in large part that is grounded by his service in world war ii. >> there was another incident during world war ii that i think had enormous influence on john f. kennedy which was the death of his older brother, joseph. joseph was quite a hero. >> yes. and according to the family dynamics of that time his older brother was to be the one who went into politics. and jfk was to play a supporting role, and when his older brother passes away unfortunately in a bombing run in which the bombs went off prematurely before they were discharged from the plane, his father joseph turned to him as it was now his turn to lead the family into politics, which was an interesting identity shift for him. i think much of his younger l

and yet nixon was silent. black advisers couldn't seem to reach him, they couldn't seem to motivate him. really this story is about the modern world that we've inherited because it is there that nixon begins the insidious creation of the southern strategy, the appeal to white southern voters to be the bulwark of the republican party. but it's also here that really black voters begin to sense that it is with the democratic party that they would be well advised to begin to give their hearts and energy to. and it begins really with the kennedys reaching out. >> let me put a pin in that for just a second to ask another question. we'll get to the vannedver, question, but did king know he could face prison if he joined the sit-in and violated his a parole on the traffic ticket? to what extent was this king's strategy all along, providing a way for the justice system to be put on trial in the court of public opinion? >> it was -- >> [inaudible] >> go ahead. >> you know, king testified under oath that today that he di

it was really tough and we spent a lot of time in the nixon -- post-nixon -- arrow trying to figure that out. what has happened under the pra is that is supposed to be taken care of at the time of creation and there are separate accounts which are the official account as opposed to the personal accounts. it is perfectly clear that, say, a report card of a presidential child would be personal. but there are lots of tough issues in the middle and right now that is a white house decision. gary, do you want to add to that? gary: that is a great introduction to that issue and the complexity of that issue. i will start by saying the pra explicitly defines what is a presidential record and what is a personal record. personal record has two categories as trudy explained which is truly personal -- family, private -- and then political personal -- explicitly excludes materials created when the president is acting in a purely political fashion, which includes running for reelection and when he is supporting his party and candidates of his party he in the midterms. all of those are considered politi

was a prosecutor during the watergate hearings that reseeded the resignation of president richard nixon in 1904 mr ackerman is in new york city tonight it's good to have you back on the program mr ackerman the world remembers those secret audio recordings from the nixon oval office those tapes were a game changer in the watergate scandal could the videos of the storming of the capitol could they be a similar game changer in this impeachment trial. well i guess we'll have to see because some of these are pretty powerful there's a number of tapes that we have not seen yet they're going to be playing tapes that the public hasn't seen much of the coverage on this is really been what people saw from the outside as opposed to the inside and some of these inside tapes are pretty powerful as we saw yesterday so i think it really depends it's not quite the same because it's not like donald trump is at the. capitol actually participating in the armed insurrection i.e. certainly is charged with fomenting it and inciting it. nixon it was a little bit different situation where you had a smoking gun

it nixon it was a little bit different situation where you had a smoking gun tape were ordered his aides are to contact the cia ordering them to call the f.b.i. and tell them to stop the investigation into the watergate burglary that particular tape basically got a number of republican senators into action and wound up with a group of them are led by barry goldwater and going to the white house and talking to recite. so that was a different situation but i really think it depends on how the evidence comes out in the next couple days you know but what did you think of the president's lawyers and their presentation yesterday. pretty terrible part of the problem is when you're a trial lawyer and you're putting on a chase whether it's an impeachment case or whether it's a criminal case or civil case you always have to have some kind of the theory behind the case story to tell and he means it or they just didn't have it i mean walk the main lawyer for donald trump who got up there and started talking and it kind of reminded me of a guy either yes natural or party before a wedding that was dru

nixon had been the party of like the republicans come the party of lincoln. he was the preferred candidate by daddy kane, martin luther king senior so talked to us about one who wants to pick this up but this can how this maneuvering with on a specifically the conversation between them and jack kennedy. >> i wanted to answer that question but let's also take a step back be on that. yes, it was a race, a close election and 90 candidate really wanted to talk about race. that was the last thing he wanted to do. 14 to be arrested was a classic october surprise. students understood that. king at some level understood that, but another level he made clear all along he was there to support the students. he looked to lonnie king and to others as the leader. he made it clear to reporters and historians later that he was there to support them. he was a mentor in that sense, someone to sort of inspired their efforts. .. so king is supporting younger people taking this incredible energy surging across the south and he wants to support them so, yes, of course, he's arrest

he said even in his debates with candidate nixon, and the famous televised debate, his address to the nation at that point is you know i basically can america or can the world live have free and have slaved. and he actually referred to lincoln in that speech but lincoln was talking about literal slavery, and kennedy was talking about democracy versus communism. but it's an interesting take on the world and i think in a large part, that is grounded by his service in world war ii. >> there was another incident during world war ii, that i think had a big influence on john f. kennedy, was the death of his older brother joseph. joseph was a hero. >> yes yes, and according to the family dynamics of that time, his older brother was to be the one who went into politics and jfk was to play a supporting role and when his older brother passes away unfortunately, you know in a bombing run which bombs went off prematurely, before they were discharged from the plane, and his father joseph turned to him as if now it was his term hers turned to lead the family into politics, and it was an interesting

i would say a better precedent would be richard nixon. richard nixon, course, resigned and nobody thought about impeaching him and going ahead and having a trial and in 2010 there was a federal judge was also impeached and he resigned both house and the senate as well so that's it and the senate trial was dismissed. that is far more recent and i was a compelling president. >> host: same question to you, lisbeth. >> guest: i think the bill not example you mentioned is illustrative because itll shows the danger if you don't allow a senate trial of someone who is no longer in office. belknap raced to hand in his resignation to try to avoid the impeachment remedy that is in the constitution and again we don't want to incentivize our leaders to abuse the public cotrust and try to avoid the constitutional remedy of impeachment by handing in their resignation to avoid an impeachment vote or so on. i would also note that the impeachment here never called impeachment did occur or pass by the house under the constitutional authority while president

republicans stood up to nixon and it worked. why did it not prevail here?la, as the vote started, and i heard burr say "guilty," and i heard cassidy say "guilty," i did a flutter, i thought, my god, they're going to stand up and do it. but i was quickly disappointed, it didn't take long to hear too many "not guilties" that should have been otherwise. why those stood up at this time is many of them have no real reason politically that they cannot. some of them think it's politically smart to stand up. what happened with watergate, the republicans were very slow, there was a core of conservative republicans who were really with nixon to the bitter end. and it wasn't until the so-called smoking gun tape came out and proved beyond any question that he had lied and he had obstructed justice, did they actually go over. but there was never a full vote outside of the committee, the house judiciary committee, never a house vote even, on nixon. there was sort of a tacit agreement that if he resigned, that would end it, which it did. >> so then do you think that there

and nixon was ahead in the initial count. electors were appointed but they were nixon electors. so they were ready and voted that day as you would if you were appointed and elector. there was a dispute because if there is a on - - an election going on at the recounting and the kennedy electors also decided to meet and cast a vote they had no official sanction at that point. now we have two groups of electors one with official and the other not. and more accounting wide and turns out kennedy with his hawaii. now the state governor ultimately sends a letter but the real ones are that jfk electors and they voted already so we will certify that is what was on the slate. a very complex and obscure set of facts but sometimes congress has to in this other slave from a letter from the governor over this group and ultimately nixon was sitting in the chair when all this was going on and he said look. and i have a dispute with the fact of jfk and as long as you don't mind we will just cap - - count that set of electors. seem like a heartless precedent because it didn't cost anybody the ele

and you know at that time president nixon was was good enough and had enough remorse to resign and we did not see any remorse from donald trump for what he incited and the violence he cost for a police officer dying and as we heard you know other other injuries and people taking their own lives this was a dark day in american history and this debate is for 50 years from now 100 years from now from now for all of us to make sure that future generations know we stood up on the right side of justice that's what this is about we are very proud paid attention or do you think that that's who's narrative is going to win over either side of the political aisle do you really see that this is going to end in an impeachment. you know we i think i want to focus on the republicans who have been brave enough to put their country before their party and that may not be enough republicans to impeach this former president but that is enough for us to know that there is guilt there and senator patrick leahy is is unimpeachable in his character many folks know he served with distinction for decades he ha

back during the nixon pietschmann. there were actually congressman that you think that actually were much more fair and and saw facts is facts it's very different and much more polarized that's it also speaks to the polarized nature between the 2 different parties in america. and it also specifically means that you know one of those parties still has not moved on from its last president and president donald trump is still in control of that party and so if anything those are the pigs that it says. i'm going to go on the leg here and say that might be the one thing everyone on the show might agree with and let me test my hypothesis now let me i'll come to jack in the case or just very briefly is the result so far of the senate process a more polarized america which is what chris is saying do agree with that the democrats have these limits to majority in the senate but they represent millions and millions more americans in their in their population so you know what we've seen is a real imbalance between who's representin

was ahead at least in the initial count and electors were appointed that were nixon electors so they were ready and they voted that day as you would if you were one of the electors. there was some dispute because the election was going on with the recounting the democratic electors also decided to meet that day and cast votes. they didn't have any official sanction at that point. so now we have two groups of electors one official and the other not and we have more accounting and hawaii it turns out kennedy wins hawaii. so now the state governor ultimately sends a letter that says you are wrong. the real electors are the jfk electors and they voted already. so we will certify that's the slate. that is a very complex and obscure set of facts but we get to congress sometimes they have to wrestle with what's in front of it now they have a slate that says nixon one and another slate with a letter from the governor to say really it is this group. ultimately nixon was sitting in the chair as the vice president as the counting was going on and he said i don't have a dispute with the fact jfk

it is -- president reagan or president nixon.triking that when you listen to this speech, a lot of it is reacting to the fact that we have had global public opinion polls that shows a true meta-slot of confidence -- a tremendous loss of confidence and trust in american leadership in virtually every region of the world. and these are things that president biden very directly addressed, as well as the fact that in many ways, the previous white house did not work well with the office of the secretary of defense, the state department or other national security elements of government. ros: anthony, if i could jump in , dissension is one thing but reality is another and president joe biden is going to face difficult choices. i am thinking about barack obama, when it came to a syrian chemical weapons attack, he had to make a decision of whether to take military action indent indent was heavily criticized. these words by joe biden so far, i am not entirely clear on where he stands on intervening or not intervening in ethical foreign chal

in 1974, both parties condemned richard nixon.ace add senate trial because he resigned first, it was clear that he would be convicted. the effect was banishment from american political life. and that was felt enough by president gerald ford and many republican leaders, that being banished from political life was enough of a cost, enough of a penalty. and so richard nixon did not face any criminal charges. we have now the opposite in the case of trump. he was not banished politically. republican leaders did not step up to do what was necessary to banish him. by the way, democrats could never have banished donald trump. this is a republican issue. republicans had a chance with the trial to banish him. mitch mcconnell decided not to. instead, they seem to want to go the route they didn't want to go with richard nixon, which was to use the courts to seek some kind of criminal sanction against him. so it appears there is a taste on the republicans' side for to be consequences. we will see whether the rubber hits the road, whether mitch

but now has survived to be used by the nixon administration in 1969. he doesn't understand how it is possible that he could've entered the year before but not now. what he discovers is that he had been granted entry under a waiver permission which allows entry to those who are deemed inadmissible with the recommendation of the secretary of state and approval by the attorney general. and so he did not know that he had entered under a waiver, but apparently he had. usually when you enter under waiver you are on a conditional visa. and that restricts what you can do with it and how long you can stay. and what the state department claims is that four because he attended a cocktail party that was not part of his itinerary, he strayed from that conditions of his conditional visa which claims he has no knowledge of. and now he will not be granted a waiver again. >> so, what happens is that he says he did not know. and he will stick to his itinerary and now that he knows he was deemed admissible and i think it is ridiculous, but i will follow the rules. and th

he told nixon what he needed to do that started the process of affirmative action shots was a marine world war two veteran and diplomat on the world stage, interested in fostering mutually beneficial relationships to fend off disagreements. all you do is come to somebody when you've got a big problem, and you know, that's the only time you see him. it's not going to be anywhere near as good as if you get to know them and listen to them here. their problems. let them hear yours. the new york native studied public policy and international affairs at princeton, using those lessons to negotiate nuclear arms reduction treaties during the cold war. he earned a phd in economics and became president of construction and engineering firm bechtel group from 1975 to 82, though he also worked in academia as a business school dean in chicago and hoover institution fellow at stanford. friends say schultz was interested in the practical applications beyond theories, someone who took ideas. good ideas and made them work in practice at this time. the exact cause of death is unknown. greg liggins, ktvu

i would say a better precedent would be richard nixon. in 2010 was a federal judge who was impeached but he resigned. then the trial was dismissed. that is far more recent and i would say it more compelling. host: same question to you, elizabeth wydra. guest: i think the example you mentioned is illustrative because it shows the dangers if you don't allow a senate trial of someone who is no longer in office. he raised his hand to try to avoid the impeachment remedy within the constitution. we don't want to incentivize our leaders to abuse the public trust and try to avoid the constitutional remedy of impeachment by handing in their resignation before an impeachment vote. the impeachment here was passed by the house under their authority while trump was still in office. when we are talking about what the constitution required, we look to the constitution itself. as i thought chuck cooper argued very well, essentially a mandatory minimum using the language of criminal law or impeachment which is a mandatory minimum in the constitution is re

you decided that impeaching president nixon would be the right move.the face of your party. what is your message to the 43 republican senators who didn't vote to impeach trump? >> i think you need to be loyal to your oath and that is to protect and defend the constitution not any one person certainly not any one president. with richard nixon in retrospect was almost a petty thief in comparison to donald trump who i think is guilty of grand larceny at the minimum. but i want to say that the republican party likes to portray that it's a party of law and order. it is anything but because former president trump bent or broke virtually every law on the books or changed the rules to accommodate his own desires. i just want to take a second to praise jamie raskin in particular along with all of the house managers. they made a case that was persuasive. it was passionate. it was powerful, and it was persuasive. they made a case that i think was overwhelming. and yet the republicans in the senate majority voted against them. and it reminds me of law school. firs
