>> nixon. >> richard nixon. >> nixon. >> yeah, nixon. >> nixon. >> is anybody else running but nixon?e president was a political animal. the president was phenomenally skilled. he was able to handle virtually anything. >> five men wearing white gloves and carrying cameras were caught earlier today in the headquarters of the democratic national committee in washington. they were caught by a night watchman, and they did not resist arrest when the police came. they were apparently unarmed, and no one yet knows why they were there. the film in the camera hadn't been exposed. in any case, they're being held. >> the democratic national committee is housed in the fashionable watergate complex. the break-in prepared well in advance. files were ransacked and papers removed. also in this area, ceiling tiles had been removed for the suspected planting of bugging devices. >> it was saturday morning, june 17th. the phone rang, it was about 6:30. a colleague of my mine was on the phone, he said, hello, it's chuck. we have a hot one. we have a burglary at the democratic national committee headquarte

richard nixon had been for 14 months. the war in vietnam was not ending as he had promised during his campaign. and he decided to take some extremely drastic measures which led to a series of disasters unlike any, really, our country had experienced probably since the civil war. all right. it's the spring of 1970. nixon was sleepless, soul searching, his demonic insomnia returned. i don't think he ever slept, general alexander haig, his military aide, recalled. he dealt with it at night by drinking. the president by day fell into a dark state of por tense and omens, talking about past presidents' auras, he suddenly started planning the precise details of his own funeral. he had predicted that 1970 would be the worst year of his first term. he proved prescient. the president's popularity plummeted 11 points that march. endless war was the cause. the toll vietnam was taking was measured not only in military caskets, but in wounds of the mind. an increasing number of veterans were shellshocked or heroin-addicted. when they r

>> well, pat nixon, of course, and richard nixon had been married for almost 40 years at this point. nixon spent far more time with his chief of staff, h.r. haldeman, than he did with his wife. theirs was a relationship that had begun with a two-year futile courtship of richard nixon by -- of pat ryan, who finally consented to take his hand. there was no love. henry kissinger once famously said of richard nixon, can you imagine what this man could have been had anyone ever loved him? >> thank you. >> i was interested in the quotes you gave from the haldeman diary which i know nothing about, but he appeared -- from what you said -- to be a little different than the hard-nosed people that you think of surrounding nixon. and i'm wondering just generally what you think of haldeman and what his role really was. >> well, anybody who remembers haldeman remembers that he had a military buzz cut, looked tough as nails. he wrote and recorded a diary every day, and he spent sometimes five and six hours a day with the president. his diaries, written and recorded, run to nearly a million words. so

but what the click to the richard nixon? i knew there would be a more sympathetic story there. >> host: what did you learn? >> guest: he >> guest: he wanted to be a better person at night about the person he wanted to be like joy, serenity. we cannot be the person i want to be. >> why not? >> he wasn't a well loved child. you could argue most are crazy. nixon had that idea and an overabundance. he never gave up but it was in a way that hurt him. >> when you talk about the lists that were made, did he have any any compounds, did he share this with anyone? >> it is to say he didn't really have friends as a florida real estate mogul. they would sit there in silence. >> i think that was true in the last year of watergate. there's one thing i hadn't realized when i started this. the love letters between them were real and powerful and many times she was the one that was told to hang in there and to not give up. at the end of the year that marriage was in trouble but then they resulted after they had a marriage. >> our longtime "n

>> pat nixon, of course course and richard nixon had been married for almost 40 years at this point. nixon spent far more time with his chief of staff than he did with his wife. there was a relationship that had begun with a two-year futile courtship of richard nixon by pat ryan who consented to take his hand. there was no love. can you imagine what this man could have been if someone would have loved him? those are famous words. >> i was interested in the quote you gave from the halderman diary which i know nothing about but he appeared from what you said different from the hard-nosed people you think of surrounding nixon. i'm wondering, wondering, just generally, what you think of halderman and what his role really was. >> anybody who remembers halderman knows he had a military cut and looked tough as nails. he wrote and recorded a diary every day. he spent sometimes five or six hours a day with the president. his diary and recordings have nearly 1 million words. about one quarter of them were considered top-secret until last year. he was very funny. he was very smart. like many of

richard nixon was not that important in 1952. there are days that i feel that he was not important at all because he was a vice presidential nominee. >> given the landslide victory, do you think that stevenson actually thought he had a chance? prof. greene: that is a different question. >> if he didn't, why did he go to the same torture four years later? prof. greene: you have to be a special kind of individual, i'm being kind, to run for president of the united states. you have to be like an athlete on a 0-42 team. you have to believe the next moment will get you your first victory. you have to act constantly as if you can win. if your carly fiorina, you have to believe every single day that you will wake up and be ahead of donald trump in the polls or you cannot run. stevenson acted that way and people thought that was phony. that or naive. that he was a fool. it is what a politician does. if you cannot do that, you should not be in politics. this guy came up through chicago politics. >> i am a native of illinois.

struggling with ways to deal with the korean campaign and ways that are almost eerily in the way that richard nixon and hubert humphrey deal with the at nam in 1962. -- to do with vietnam in 19 succeed to -- 1962. eisenhower said, "i shall go to korea." nixon just didn't tell anybody. this is ike with 15th regiment troops in korea. to me, that makes more sense. particularly with the way the election turns out with where things are going to go in the future. you can put up all the statistics in the world. you put up numbers and college students just [snores] they are gone. eisenhower won big-time. blue states for stevenson, eisenhower won just about everything else. there are things to be said for the future. eisenhower made inroads to the south. virginia, tennessee, texas, at florida. he broke into the fdr coalition. the ethnic vote, the polish vote, the german vote went for eisenhower. and women voted for eisenhower and abandoned the democrats. it was the middle class, loosely defined, living in the suburbs and watching leave it to beaver -- watching, "leave it to beaver," who helped eisenhower wi

it's an honor to be here and an honor to have bill as the new head of the richard nixon foundation. as it turns out, the real watergate scandal is a trashing of our constitution and bill of rights in a successful effort to drive nixon from office and to realign political power without the inconvenience of an election. we will get to that in a couple minutes but i want to start by telling you why i think i am good shape to write this book or may conclude i may know what i'm talking about. i'm a california native like many of you. i went to long beach wilson high school and whittier college. i think of myself back then as normal. then something changed for me. i got a scholarship to scholarship to harvard law school and i did well coming from the uncultured west coast. i graduated with honors and that i was chosen chosen to be a white house followed directly out of law school. at the tender age of 24 i joined pres. nixon staff at the white house. after my fellowship year, that's a program where they bring in 15 young people to study the federal government for a year. i did that and the

finally, i want my close friends, america owes richard nixon an apology. plause] i am willing -- they will say you're just a nixon apologists. but that is not true. it is nixon who should be apologized, too. i'm willing to debate anywhere, anytime the stuff that's in my book. let's see if somebody wants to come out and defend the indefensible. so that is where we are. what should you do? i would like you to rate the book. it would be nice if he bought it, but you can pirate. don't just put it on the shelf. there's all kinds of things. jeff sheppard -- geoff geoff shepard.com. as other denizen at some point in the future i discovered additional information and i will post it on my website. discuss this with your friends. don't let this go away. tell your kids. it's not hard to understand what i put in that book. if you know any lawyers, ask them about what i've disclosed. i don't think you'll find liberal lawyers coming. he was guilty anyways. that's not our system. our system has come into court, prove your case. we have rules of evidence, right of cross-ex

reminder that you need to have the same kind of resilience, the same kind of indestructibility as richard nixon. philosophically, i am more of a reagan republican. what i admire about nixon is his tenacity. to a very different and long career, he got knocked down repeatedly but he got back up. host: was richard nixon alive when you had the tattoo put on your back? it?o, did he see guest: unfortunately, he had already passed by the time i got the tattoo. i did it in remembrance of him. he was a good friend and mentor of mine. it was president nixon who introduced me to the reagan people and got me my job with president reagan. i worked on governor reagan's andpaigns in 1976, 1980, 1984. richard nixon gave me my start in politics, for which i will always be grateful. host: mr. texas labor day weekend, three days of politics, books, and american history. here are a few of the features for a labor day monday, beginning at 10:00 a.m. eastern. discussing the pros and cons of big data and civil liberties. later that evening at 6:30, a debate on how to reduce poverty between president obama and the pre

richard nixon in 1971 and gerald ford dealt with inflation. i think we have come a long way since that. >> i would like to thank jim again [applause]. i would not be doing my duty as a publisher, that you can acquire a copy of this book for a very modest consideration, tax-free at the table at the back. thank you also much. [applause]. combo [inaudible conversation] >> you are watching tv, television for serious readers. you can watch any program you see here online at book tv.org. >> when you look at the world of the supreme court has played in our society now, our history series has to has relevance. as we thought about what we can do to give relevance to our current program, a series on the court made all the sense in the world. >> the court is an equal branch of government, it is the third branch of government. it still has fundamental impact on america's lives. >> inside this elegant building is a court where cases are heard, decisions are made, that impact all of our lives. there are so many incredibly interesting cases in the court hist

nixon, how richard and pat nixon felt this couple can do sophisticated people to be treated like thatd adjust left a bad taste and it got worse after he was elected president. nixon sent henry kissinger to be his ambassador to this world to mrs. graham and to the georgetown crowd and kissinger did great. charming and funny but pretty soon he was making jokes about the president pretty much on a weekly basis joking about the fearless leader and talking about the drinking habits. of course this bothered fixing, how could it not be he tried to be philosophical about it. he said he's insecure comedian needs this kind of support. and he would tease kissinger and when he was leaving for the evening he would take there goes henry off to talk to his georgetown friends were the "washington post." but of course it will give him and he couldn't help he wanted to get even with kissinger and the georgetown crowd and that resentment was building. and the famous white house tapes interestingly he installed those tapes and the reason he put them in was to have a record so that he could read that kiss

because you see dean as having to be the lawyer, if you like, as richard nixon, at the same time he's doing investigations, he's finding a lot of unsavory things going on. and nixon wanted a d-report to kind of pull it all together. and as we know, dean decides not to cooperate with nixon, but to cooperate with the watergate committee. >> but the time he was telling nixon not to worry, nothing had leaked anything to the white house from the break-in or the cover-up, was he, in fact, already working with the feds, with the fbi? >> it's a tight call there. when's clear is that, you know, that dean may know these conversations are being taped and he's often saying things that would make it seem he's still working with nixon, but then switching. we just don't know. you could take dean at his word or be a conspiracy theorist. roger stone and a group of people think dean was come police us the during this period. >> in may of 1973, nixon confined to his chief of staff he was considering resigning. this was a full 15 months before he actually did it. let's listen to the early nixon fears abo

nixon, how richard and pat

i am the president of the richard nixon foundation and i am pleased to welcome you and a friend of thefoundation, jeff shepard. when i when i first took this position, geoff shepard's name was often identified as a person very active with the foundation. soon i found out out he was organizing reunions and later he had developed a number of legacy forums held across the united states and then i heard he was writing a book. when i finally met who became a good friend and i now understand the contributions he has

richard nixon wins and it is a disaster. he runs online order. it sort of like oj saying these black criminals saying we're going to take care of that. the response of the democratic party, black parties to say we're going to walk away from this. we're going to adopt the tough on crime message of your and our opponent and become more like them. these issues you care about, jesse jackson, we can do with it. these fractures existed under the surface. i just burst more in 2,008 because now you have the seven democrats, the southern governor essentially trying to repay what he saw as a debt of his i was the 1st black president. african-americans read that is saying that her aspirations, it's hillary's time. the new site years and decades of a new line fractures open. >> you talk about this fracture beginning with lbj. talk about it during the clinton administration. there are a number of things you mentioned in the book that i was unaware of. i don't think a lot of americans knew this was occurring the beginning of the clinton administration. they di

we have come to learn more about richard nixon and the indelible mark he left on our country and world. and as i look at the state of our nation and the world today, i reach into the archives of the '72 campaign, nixon now more than ever. we have had the opportunity to meet wonderful people through the library, hugh and the fetching betsy hewitt among them. hugh is a frequent figure at library and foundation programs, interviewing authors, facilitating panel discussions, participating in debates, and as we saw today, conducting his nationally syndicated radio show. he served in the nixon administration as a speech writer and was critical in the construction of this superb facility, and for that a debt of gratitude from all who have ben fitted. hule heals from ohio, claiming to be some form of buckeye. he did, however, choose to purchase his law degree from the hated university of michigan, something i do not understand. he is a practicing attorney, professor of law at chapman university, and a remarkable influence in the republican party at all levels across the country, frequent guest

he was still kind of undone by this and started telling about this on the phone ring and it was richard nixon on the phone asking kissinger not to tell anybody because he was so embarrassed. kissinger put his aid on an extension and it was in the "washington post" in two days. nixon when he left office almost died of phlebitis. a nurse was literally slapping is facing wake-up richard, wake up that he came back and he came back. he would have these dinners for all the journalists. he would have dinners and michael kremer of the times came to his townhouse and was glad to be asked with chinese dinner and all that and had to make a phonecall so used nixon's study and he found nixon had not only without his talking points for the dinner but his small talk as well, the bad jokes, the whole thing. he was always prepared and nixon did repair his marriage. he did. when pat died there are photographs of nixon and he is undone. he is not just crying he is sobbing and falling. he is inconsolable. he may have had in halderman's words a weird marriage. she stood with him and she backed them up and you rea

by the time you get you ato a richard nixon, the republican party started to train and support. the time the messaging became very anti-, that just sealed the deal. >> interesting. let's take it up to march 2008. let's talk a little bit about the presidential primaries and that historic election. barack obama made a famous speech on race relations command i can remember sitting down with friends and family and being just glued to the television set when he was going to talk about reverend wright and what he felt about race and what he felt about this primary campaign, this historic campaign. my question to you is, did you -- were you impressed by that speech? do you think that that was one of the greatest speeches on race ever made? if not, what work? >> no, i think actually, it was brilliant. the speech was not made on purpose. they were not running him is black and being very careful david axelrod had run harold washington's reelection campaign and understood how to run a black candidate in a non- black majority district and they were really the architects of some of that stra

the only reason i'm standing here, his back when i was a 29-year-old kid, is richard nixon visited mytate, and i cannot get help anywhere. a big old wine in every wondered, who was about six foot six inches, 260 pounds, he , inesented the steelworkers claymont, where i moved from scranton. he attempting to see a guy who was the regional director in philadelphia. is said to him, we are backing this boy, and you he said like hell we are. havingare, you're not me. you know, i was endorsed. at that time i was losing. 57-19. but i one. i won because of the steelworkers. [applause] we have expression where i grew up. go home with the girl that you you to the dance, and brought me to the dance. industry to be here. you go.le, -- there good and where is mack? heavyoes all of the lifting. you, man. thanks for having me back. and my buddy rich. you know, rich and i go back a long way. he is the kind of guy, and i am not joking, like all of you. you know, in the neighborhood, you always knew who the person was who had your back. you knew it, and this is the guy who would have your fax. he would

politicalld trump's appeal a cartoon version of richard nixon? the current candidates are understandably struggling with coming to group with the phenomenon of trump. none has put together the pieces as reagan did. your response. guest: i read that piece yesterday and tweeted bill kristol gets with the program. i think what he is saying is trump is a pragmatic conservative. he is not a purist. he believes we should tax hedge fund managers who are currently avoiding millions of dollars worth of taxes. trump gets no advantages.he pays an enormous amount in taxes. the average businessperson in his country is paying a high tax rate. why should this special niche of financial operators making millions not pay? that violates the orthodoxy. i went to a very nice dinner this past saturday and many people there were aghast at this idea. i think this idea will sell to the american people and populist republicans. i think it will sell in a general election. i will give you another example. he did propose in 2000 that there would be a one time surtax dedicat

richard nixon wins. it is a disaster. that is sort of energy saying we will take care of that. african-americans looking to the party. helping, winning, capable. jimmy carter fell apart, and the response of the democratic party is to say we will walk away from things like that, adopt the crime, tough on crime message of you are and our opponent. it will be more like that. these issues we don't care about, we can talk about that. jackson wants to be on the ticket, sorry. as you see african-americans being pushed back, these fractures existed under the surface. they burst forth because now you have the southern democrat's insulin trying to repay what he saw as a debt of his. no, i was the 1st black president. you are with us. and this is a fantasy. again, he was talking about the war. african-americans reminiscing, no, it is hillary's time and he saw it has been years and decades of underlying fractions burst open. .. and pulled them both, hold both of their heads at the same time that the clinton comes in and one of the ways he signals to white working-class voters that he is th

look at the nixon library, it was called the richard nixon library and birth birthplace and it was notable to continue and that is why they were sought seeking out the national archives. >> you made a wonderful presentation. my question is a sign of time, everything is digitized now. there any idea that may be the oldest archive will be available in digital and in the clouds? >> guest: one of the things i did on the hill is planned hearings. i wrote the script. if you watch hearings there is a script. even the jokes were scripted. so i would write the hearing and invite the witnesses and take the topics. it was a scary situation when i realized that would be my responsibility. congress passed a bill a few years ago acquiring the archives to produce a report a report on alternative models for presidential libraries. i took that report and developed hearings and said these are the five different ways we could go forward. so we set up a series of hearings, at the time, i was responsible for hearings of the census bureau and we had hearings on the national archives on electronic records. w

. >> richard nixon had a connection to donald trump. t that. >> well, it turned out that pat nixon, richard nixon's wife, the former first lady in 1987 saw donald trump on the phil donahue show and nixon sort of fell in love with donald trump. nixon wrote a note to donald trump saying if you decide to get into politics, you're going to do to do extremely well. now you see donald trump adopting the silent majority motif for his own campaign. that's what nixon used in 1969 to go after the anti-vietnam war demonstrators so there's an interesting note of history connecting trump with nixon. >> would you call that a posthumous endorsement? >> well, i don't know who it helps. i don't know who nixon's constituency is at this point. >> exactly. >> but nevertheless, it's the same workers that nixon was trying to win over during '68 and '72 that donald trump is reaching out to people fed up with hue better humphrey, lyndon johnson, and you see trump trying to generate momentum by being feds up with the obama people. >> thank you. appreciate all of

in 1970, president richard nixon was a big bowler. he said he would like to have a bowling alley as part of the residential complex, not in the adjacent office building. new wing of the white house, a bowling alley was made under the north lawn. when you stand on pennsylvania avenue looking into the white house and the fountain and the portico, there are things located under the north lawn. service areas. electrical facilities. the white house bowling alley. children at the white house often found ways to have recreation, including swing sets, pets, they could run out and play on the grounds. in the late 1960's, before leaving the white house, lady the johnson created children's garden, a small, secluded spot on the lawn joining the white house tennis courts. the garden honored all of the grandchildren of the president, starting with the johnsons. . it had wonderful rustic furniture made in a children's size. the main feature that she created was that she had her ,randchildren create handprints cast to look like stone. the walkway lea

in 1970, president richard nixon was a big bowler so he wanted a bowling alley as part of the residential complex. a new single lane white house bowling alley was created under the north lawn. when you are standing at pennsylvania avenue and seeing into the white house, there are things located under the north lawn. the children at the white house often found ways for recreation, including gym equipment, swing .ets, pets in the late 1960's, before leaving, first lady johnson created what is called the children's garden. it is very close to the white house tennis court. -- they haden rustic furniture made in children's size. it has a fish garden -- a fish pond as well. the main feature was that she had her grandchildren create their handprints and they were cast to look like stone and used as pavers on the ground. the walkway on the grounds has such handprints from the grandchildren of each president. it was -- if it was a grandchild that was born after the president's office their hands are not there. the prints are seen here in the white house visitor center, including a hands-on spot fo

it wasn't immediate but by the time he gets to richard nixon the republican party was supporting him by the time they were messaging and republican party became very anti-+ -- buzzing and to segregation that sealed the deal. >> host: very interesting. let's take it up to march 2008. let's talk a little head about the presidential primary and the historic election. barack obama made a famous speech on race relations and i can room for sitting down with friends and family and being glued to the television set when he was going to talk about reverend wright back and what he felt about race and body felt about this primary campaign, this historic campaign. my question to you is, were you impressed by the speech? do you think that was one of the greatest speeches on race ever made and if not what were some of the great speeches that you would champion? >> guest: it was a speech that was not made on purpose and i say that because it was explicitly nonracial. they were not running him in a black context. he had run harold washington's re-election campaign and he understood how to run a blac

for a brief moment, enough to get richard nixon reelected, it worked until it didn't and then it wasa disaster. the three uglies crushed us. what happened to the money supply? most people have never looked. in the 34 years before years before we created this gold exchange standard our money supply only doubled. in the 34 years after, which takes us to 2008 it increased by 13 fold. we printed money like it was confetti at a wedding. we were a long way from the gold standard and we were borrowing and creating an economic colossus with serious flaws pointed directly at the middle class. most people also missed the slow crash. were good at seeing the big crash like october 1987, but from the mid- 1960s until 1982, the market lost 25% of the value and what's striking about that is that if you include inflation, which was double-digit, 66% of the market value in real terms was lost. it's one of the worst crashes in our history and it largely went unreported. that slow crash played us until reagan came into the scene. it broke down, at long last the garbled mouthful. when they come up with

i know you are a devoted fan of richard nixon, yes. >> yes. >> do you have a nixon tattoo? >> yes, i admire him for his resilience. it's the fact that when you come down in life you get back up. >> but richard nixon, whatever you say, that was a guy who would have been fine on the foreign policy questions. i mean, does that make you cringe? >> not really because i think it's about understanding the big picture in foreign policy. hillary clinton knew the name of every of these foreign leaders. we lost control to enemies across the middle east and she botched benghazi, so how much good did that doer? this is about larger policies. >> well, but -- you don't think t i's a threshold issue? >> i don't. this is why trump's voters are tired of the elite media being in bed with the political establishment. these kind of gotcha questions. >> you think hugh hewitt is part of the elite media? >> i think he had his 15 minutes and in a year you'll never hear his name again. >> what do you think? >> i refer back to the classic political science text on this, the reasoning voter by sam pop

the holy father would go on to meet with president richard nixon twice and then gerald ford once.the late '70's there was a new leader of the church. john paul ii. in the fall of '79, he made history becoming the first pontiff to go to the white house. the invitation extended by jimmy carter. a devout christian. in 1981, the oval office changed hands. during his eight years in office, president ronald reagan huddled with his holiness four times. their friendship widely viewed as a force in the fight against communism. the wildly popular pope continued his warm relationship with america's presidents meeting twice with george h.w. bush four times with bill clinton and three times with george w. bush. john paul ii's death in 2005 pave the way for benedict xvith. bush 43 traveled to italy to see him. and when the pope came to the us in 2008, he was celebrated on the white house south lawn. less than six months into his first term, president barack obama entered the walls of the vatican to meet benedict. he made his second trip there last year. this time meeting with a new leader of th

richard nixon was quite a young man. he was a young vice president.ur grandparents didn't business and pleasure. you didn't see a lot of his associates around a dinner program to white house movies. that's another indication. it's fair to say next and was used a lot as a vice president, especially overseas. the fact they didn't have a relationship outside of business i don't think is the way we would have to examine that subject. that i want to emphasize did change later, especially when my brother got involved with nixon's daughter. they were instant family. when granddad passed away, the nixon's were very good to my grandmother and she said they took embarrassingly good care of her. become familyd eventually but during the presidency was when it was strictly business. steve: i want to broach a touchy subject. please bear with me. it's camp david. [applause] susan: sore subject. mary: i have an exclamation for that. and ifd was very fair one of us got something, the others got something so i'm the youngest. camp david was named for my brother and a l

i started my life as a speechwriter and richard nixon, a guy viewed not so much as a great speech maker but a guy with great writers around him. he used to make them underlined the soundbite a lot. nine times out of 10 once you did the drill, that would be the soundbite because that is all the soundbite be. 8, 10, 12 seconds. now you have to put together a string of eight to 10 soundbites. but you have to weed that together. it is more difficult to write speeches today. some of the great speed rager -- speechwriter's -- like taking in. they write for the history books. she understood spoken word while reagan, having been the communicator, built movies and commentary and what have you. he understood the spoken word was different from the written word. writing for the written word, you hear it differently than visually, is very important in this day and age. >> other questions? >> down there? >> thank you. building off the previous , howion, i wondered quickly will the innovation of technology affect policymaking in the future? >> you mean policymaking directly about technology or in the

that's the story of richard nixon. he was an introvert in an extrovert's business. he was a man with demon, very re flawed and very great. he segregated the public schoolr reached arms control agreements with the soviets. poured money into the african-american community, developed black capitalism.ecti founded the environmental protection agency.on the first real environmental protection, which we needed. he was in manypr ways, a very se great rspresident, despite his many problems in failure.r. so, it's a personal reminder, i got the tatoo, artist had done for someone else.as vey a tatoo of jen pat ton, great likeness. it was very painful. but it's there as a daily remind reminder that eryou, that you nf to have the same kind of resilience, the same kind of stick to ittiveness, the same kindre o of indestructibility a nixon. philosophically, i'm more of a reagan republican. what i admire about nixon is his t tenacity. the fact that through a difficult and long career, he d got knocked down repeatedly, but got back up. >> was nixon alive when you had the tatoo put o

nixon, how richard and pat nixon felt this couple can do sophisticated people to be treated like that and adjust left a bad taste and it got worse after he was elected president. nixon sent henry kissinger to be his ambassador to this world to mrs. graham and to the georgetown crowd and kissinger did great. charming and funny but pretty soon he was making jokes about the president pretty much on a weekly basis joking about the fearless leader and talking about the drinking habits. of course this bothered fixing, how could it not be he tried to be philosophical about it. he said he's insecure comedian needs this kind of support. and he would tease kissinger and when he was leaving for the evening he would take there goes henry off to talk to his georgetown friends were the "washington post." but of course it will give him and he couldn't help he wanted to get even with kissinger and the georgetown crowd and that resentment was building. and the famous white house tapes interestingly he installed those tapes and the reason he put them in was to have a record so that he could read that k

he initiated this contact with castro without asking richard nixon's permission. it was right in the summer of watergate, and nixon was clearly going to be besieged -- impeached and leaves. he did this with the guy who ends up being president of national public radio, a longtime democrat who would provide perfect political cover if it were ever leaked that kissinger used him to send a message to castro. and then really, when we look at thatecord, it became clear he said very little to gerald ford. the stuff that he did say about what he was doing was kind of lies by omission. , very very cryptic clipped. at some point he would say things that were not quite true. he would go in and he would vaguely tell the president, he would say, castro wants to meet with you, our customer wants to talk. these people have been pursuing castro to hold these talks. the documentary record comes from kissinger's office. we have all his meetings with gerald ford as well. when you are looking through them you see this was largely a kissinger initiative and that is why he was there. ron
