nixon. well, while we waited, susan, we lived in the closet in my office, which was on the third floor of the old executive office building sometime in the dead of night. she was still of that office out of my closet and landed the office of someone who had said or done something detrimental to women. it's. so i of course, i had to go pick her up in the morning, put her back closet. but it was known that the spirit of suits and the anthony row wound the white house at night. so if you're a man, beware, what's the best? well, a final note about that. i think it was quite appropriate that mrs. nixon was the one to receive this symbolic gift, because i do think that she was an inspiration. and as jim said, behind the president's move to advance what and so we're grateful to her as well as be grateful to the president. so thank you all for coming. i as i said, i wish i were there with you. i think will have an informative and inspiring and i hope you will leave with the momentum and the desire t

nixon. and if anything is left or needs mentioning, we'll all fill in. i will ask sarah as a historian. the white house historical association, as well as bob barr, stuck to talk about the most immediately public visual impact of. pat nixon. and that was her with the white house historical association. yes, absolutely. and it's very difficult to encompass the many house legacies of mrs. nixon in a short time. but i'll do my best. and i know that bob will supplement this as well. of course, one of the most obvious is the impact that mrs. nixon has on the white house or her acquisition efforts. and if you walk through the white house today, the white house that you see is largely a testament to her. with white house curator clem conger and bob will talk a little bit more about those acquisition efforts. but this is a project that we're really proud of, of course, the white house historical association in carrying forward a legacy not just of mrs. kennedy who made these efforts very public, but

nixon. well, for these two remarkable women who became friends who encouraged each other to live their best lives in the pressure of public life and the glare of the white house. well, with us to give deeper insight into pat nixon and betty ford, we have some distinguished people on this stage, susan ford bales only daughter of president and mrs.. susan is the sponsor, the aircraft carrier uss gerald r ford and recognize one of her extraordinary service as the ship's sponsor. susan was named an honorary aviator by the united states navy, becoming only the 31st american ever to receive this distinction and the first woman ever to be so honored. she is the recipient of three honorary doctorates and is the author of two novels set in the white house. i'm waiting for those novels. get on tv now, because the netflix we need to clean up next looks a little. edward cox next to susan, the son in law of president and mrs. nixon. many of you recall that the hauenstein and the ford held a joint program

he became paranoid about china and he would meet with nixon's nixon's nixon confronted with brezhnev are full of references like, you know, oh, you cannot trust the chinese so evil, you know, they cannot we don't know what they want, you know, talk is really horrible, etc., etc. and in then brezhnev's great declaration that he was a european, he said, i don't understand the chinese because i am a european and you knew nixon also european and we can understand one another. i'm just quoting the record of conversation. it's remarkable. it's absolutely remarkable. but china remained very important. there's one there's the question about afghanistan. afghanistan has covered a great length in the book and. the reason i spent a lot of time on afghanistan stan is because we now have the entire records, soviet conversations with the afghan leaders including people like taraki and amin and all the way i mean, we even now have the conversation remember, taraki was coming back from cuba. he stopped over in moscow and there was this episode of which we knew, but we didn't have the record where br

nixon. and of course, she's always been there with him, whether it is the fun crisis, where he wasn't sure what he'd do. and she said, you got to go fight it. and he did. and he won that. so in all these tough moments, she was there. she was a real fighter. and for her not to be would have just not been right. i think steve was asking, you know, would she be able to control emotion. well yes. there's no doubt about she was that type of a person. so we were all there. it was night before i was in the president asked me to be in the lincoln sitting room with him as he was preparing his talk. i was very calm about. he asked me to go to book the quote that he used about roosevelt, teddy roosevelt, about his past wife, and that tribute that he read. so i brought that book with me to that and and then we got on the helicopter. i know that your parents accompany us there. julian, david stayed behind and we went off to san clemente with the with the president. mr. nixon, as we passed by the washingt

material pertaining to the life, career and presidency of richard nixon here at the nixon library in our research room monday through from 9:30 a.m. until 5:00 pm. if you do want to research with us? we do ask you let us know ahead of time. so our staff is able to book an appointment and walk through the pre research process and we can prepare for your arrival. appointments can be made by emailing nixon reference at nara dot gov. and we wanted to thank our panelists again for the wonderful insight and thank all for joining us. on october. of 1969, president nixon announced the task force on rights and responsibilities the purpose of the task force was to look at the status of in the united states and recommend opportunities and programs could improve that status. six months later, the administration issued a report. the report was called the matter of simple justice, which you can see online or through the nixon library. and it made a number of recommendations about women's role and prosperity, so to speak. education, employment, housing and other areas of life. and in fact. right he

there has never been applause for such as that for pat nixon. mrs. nixon approached floor. and even if you go back and look the video now i have fairly recently it doesn't begin to to take into account the sustained nature of the applause and the camera keeps going back to the same space in the in the crowd in the audience. if you could have scanned that crowd, she mrs. nixon was just loved and it dated far back. it went back to 52 and 56. and all the years that she had herself been to national conventions. but she just it and she handled it so gracefully. and jimmy stewart and ronald reagan were seated right on the dais and they would not help her. she was trying to get them to help. and they even she had a gavel, a gigantic gavel, where she tried to gavel the crowd. silence some kind, and they wouldn't have anything to do with that. they were just cheering. there were tears and i say, i've been to two conventions before and after, and it was nothing like that. that 72 convention with mrs. nixon. and maybe that had to do with what happened. but i applied for a white house

nixon and, mrs. ford. she served the assistant press secretary and speechwriter in the white house office of the first lady during ford administration, the nixon administration, patti traveled extensively and she traveled not only domestically but internationally. she was an advance person. she later worked at abc for 25 years, including as senior vice president of communications. and last but not least, today's conversation will be moderated by rick albin veteran political report. you know, i didn't know which word you are. are you senior veteran? i've got to be careful when rh fragrance out, but veteran political reporter for news eight. he has long been associated with wood tv, which has given him the platform to cover politics on radio and television. five states and in dc. and rick has interviewed every since president ford. so, ladies and gentlemen, please join me in expressing appreciation for our great penn. as are. thank you. gleaves. and good afternoon, everyone. i take a quick moment to thank th

, nobody goes to prison. >> nixon admitted everything.ardon he said i've been informed that president ford has granted me a full and absolute pardon for any charges that might be brought against me for actions taken during the time i was president of the united states. that is key. because he understood that he committed crimes while he was president. and then he said i know that many fair-minded people believe that my motivations and actions in the watergate affair like you said und jer john roberts you can't talk about motivation, were intentionally self-serving and illegal. i now understand my own mistakes and misjudgments have contributed to that belief and seem to support the burden is the heaviest one of all i have to bear. he understood what he did was illegal. he did it while he was president. he was intentionally self-serving. and john roberts would have said all of that is off the table, nixon would have been cleared to remain in office. it's stunning. >> absolutely right. it's stunning. in fact, i mean, just to compare the supr

this is not so fantastic and so unusual, this is exactly what richard nixon did. justice is totally ignored this entire history of watergate in coming up with this crazy opinion that permits somebody like donald trump, who has already come up with a plan where he said he's going to be a dictator from day one and is going to suspend the constitution and has already violated a number of federal criminal laws. so this is basically opening up the floodgates to donald trump, to do whatever he wants and full steam ahead, which is really frightening. >> something else that you wrote that struck me was this idea that if a president like trump gets absolute criminal immunity for his official acts, then by extension it would make sense that subordinates that are following orders from donald trump for example, to do criminal acts, would also not be prosecuted because they are just, quote, following instructions or orders and we saw that happen with hitler. we saw that happen in germany. so, what is this theory i guess by extension, that subordinates of a president like donal

. >>> and, how the supreme court's immunity ruling could have impacted the case against richard nixon and what it means now for donald trump. former watergate prosecutor ackerman is here with some truly jaw-dropping revelations. this is the sunday show. >>> we begin with breaking news tonight. while the biden-harris campaign is pulling no punches in what promises to be a critical week in the race to the white house, nbc news has confirmed that four morehouse democrats have called on president biden to drop out of the race, bringing the total now to nine. this happened just a few hours ago as house minority leader hakeem jeffries led a meeting with top congressional democrats. joining me now from capitol hill is nbc news congressional correspondent julie sirkin. julie, thanks for joining me. what more do we know about this meeting and the four lawmakers who just joined in to ask for president biden to step aside? >> this was a meeting that lasted nearly two hours. it began at 2:00 this afternoon. it was a virtual meeting because again, lawmakers have not been back to the capital since

nixon. right. and i was always disturbed that when i was i was producing a show and tried to get mrs. nixon on because i thought she could humanize the president. nixon that would be a good thing. and i thought press secretaries did nothing. i just had no idea except say no. but this was as everybody's point out a really rough period in the life of us at that time we needed somebody and they were there to see the wounds, you know, so i get lost in ability to go anywhere with this because. it was it was one of those things where we really had to be very careful where she spoke and make sure that we had for example, i know where i was going with this. i came into the white house office talking with helen smith, mrs. nixon's press secretary, and at first call, i got she had a photo. it was from barbara walters. she wasn't ready for barbara walters at time at all. i knew when she was ready and she even i knew she had to have the best interview around. that was 60 minutes. right. so it took almost a yea

you go back to the nixon tapes case which was almost unanimous against nixon and rejecting his claimspresidential privilege, which was a weak cousin of what donald trump sought here. even nixon's own appointees to the supreme court ruled against him. here by contrast, you have the six republican appointed justices, all siding with the republican nominee for the presidency, donald trump. you have the three democratically appointed ones siding the other way. that's not the place the court should be. it is not surprising we have heard from president biden about this, and i expect in the days and weeks to come, the court will become the front and center piece of the election. i think biden will run against the court more than he will run against even donald trump although the two now are locked kind of at the hip. trump and the supreme court. this is a tremendously unfortunate ruling and one as to which i was shocked. >> yeah, i think so many of us during our lifetimes have come to expect so much of the court because we saw the court deliver in circumstances that approved the court's inte

there were a number of justices had been appointed by richard nixon. but they all unanimously decided with one person just with actually one person are reducing himself. that nixon had to turn over. those takes, are there was nothing purchasing at all about it. this just has a different feel to it. it's had a different feel to it all along. ever since the overturning of the abortion decision are with the decision on the obstruction count on that day was use to indict a number of the january 6 riders on this really does not make a lot of sense other than to play into donald trump's strategy of delaying this whole matter until after the election. but this i'm sorry to dwell on this, but this is a business, a big thing. but you're saying to be citing the thoughts this the pre im calling them out is any fact corrupt? yes, i'm not saying that because there's no way back in 1972 and we're investigating richard nixon in the watergate matter. but anybody was saying, oh, there's presidential immunity. you have to be careful about what you do. we can't date and

nixon, expert and analyst let's talk politics, mr. nixon.lo , i say good night to you, and thank you for inviting me to your program. mr. nixon, 75 years have passed since 1949, when the political leaders in the west established nato. . in fact, the problem is that it used to be thought that the us navy is the strongest military force in the world, and if the us navy ever starts and is used, no one can stop it , but now we see that this is actually being violated. we do this in war in ukraine, we are seeing that even though the american ships and ships, this organization does not actually act on behalf of the nations and people, they are actually looking for other agendas, they are thinking about it. they do not act to help the people of nations , they have a series of military goals , they have a series of security goals, and they seek to dominate the world. some countries create and this is because of the warmongering mentality of the nato leaders who use violence and actually put pressure on reach their goals mr. nixon, you mentioned some

bush, reagan, carter, ford, nixon, johnson, kennedy, eisenhower, and truman.hat's 14, but the subtitle of your book is “70 years and 13 presidents, one queen's special relationship with america” who was left out there? mr. charter: you included him in your list, obviously he is part of american history, but sadly, not one that the queen met while he was sitting president. lbj. president. lbj. there are reasons for this, which i go into in the book. there are accidental, if you like, reasons that when jfk was assassinated, she was planning -- she would have liked to have gone to the funeral. she could not go pretty her doctors prevented her because she was too heavily pregnant at the time. when churchill died a couple of years later, lbj wanted to come but he got sick during his inauguration in january 1965. and his doctors prevented him from traveling to the u.k.. so if it were not for those unfortunate accidents of history, they would have met. but what happened of course was that lbj's full term became completely overwhelmed with vietnam and he was angry wit

indeed even nixon's own appointees to the supreme court ruled against him there. like that. �* ., �* i: we cannot say anything like that. another 6-3 decision. thank you _ that. another 6-3 decision. thank you very _ that. another 6-3 decision. thank you very much - that. another 6-3 decision. thank you very much for i that. another 6-3 decision. i thank you very much for your thoughts. donald trump's former top advisor steve bannon reported to prison on monday to serve a four month sentence. you was convicted for defying a subpoenae from a committee probing the january 6, 2021 attack on the us capitol. he claims his conversations with all trump that day should be protected under executive privilege but on friday the supreme court rejected a last—minute bid to delay his sentence. 0ur north america editor sarah smith sat down with him for an interview last week and began by asking him how he feels about his prison sentence. how do you feel about that? it doesn't make a difference, that's four years on a navy ship, i serve my country now for the last ten or so years

ited states versus nixon s not a textually based case neither was nixon versus fitzgerald. we endorsed both of those holdings. public official has had absolute criminal immunity that my friend speaks of, even with respect to the speech or debate clause. it is narrow andcused on legislative acts, it is not focused on eing a congressman does, and it respondsspecific historical circumstance that involved the two other branches polly harassing legislators and preventing them doing their jobs. that is why it ended up in the constitution. nothing like that ended up in president and that is because one of the chief concerns of the framers was th of presidential misconduct. they labored over this. they adopted an impeachment structure that separated removal frice as a political remedy from criminal prosecution. this departed from the british model. itish model was you get impeached and criminally ecuted and convicted in the same proceeding. the framers did not want that. they wanted a political remedy in case a president was engaging in conduct that ened the nation. he could be rem

and and nixon just loved him because, you know, treated nixon well and encouraged him and at never, never let him down. and nixon thought this guy really should be coaching, you know, not this this small college. and in california, he ought to be coaching in the big ten or or the atlantic coast conference. you know, he was that good. but never worked because he was an indian and he would be discriminated against. nixon believed that and so so he always had a soft spot for and once he let his white house know that he wanted to see some progress. indian country that in the most dramatic change in indian policy in 50 years and so this stuff matters and you know clinton was one of those guys who cared so. you know, this year we're celebrating. i don't know if celebrating is the right word, but it's the 200th anniversary of the bureau of indian affairs. yeah, that's right. but i think the hundred and 75th anniversary, you were the assistant as a part of your role and you apologized. yeah, right. for the bureau's actions, which was huge in any country. yeah well, i'm we had when when clinton we

i could were speaking with tyler nixon. he's an attorney, a pundit and a writer who comments on issues related to civil liberties, civil rights and the constitution. he also just happens to have grown up next door to the biden family in delaware, and he has known hunter biden for most of his life. tyler, thanks again for being with us. thanks, bradley tyler. i want to focus if we could on what hunter's conviction means. politically. on the one hand rule of law, people will say that the conviction shows that the law is blind and that it doesn't matter how important a person is. that if he commits a crime, there is going to be a price to pay. on the other hand, though, a lot of joe biden supporters are saying that 100 would never have been charged with the crime in the 1st place if he hadn't been joe biden. son. what do you make of these 2 arguments? no, i you are right. he wouldn't have been charged. these crimes you would have been charged was far more serious and extensive primes than he was charged. i mean, the idea that
