the topic this evening is richard nixon whose tragic presidency is profiled in a new book by tim weiner that is receiving a lot of attention. tim is an experience, prize-winning journalist who we are familiar here within washington. he was here for 15 years, he spoke before for his previous book. he he got into the newspaper business after it masters degree in journalism at columbia 36 years ago. by the early 1980s, he landed at the philadelphia choir where he worked for a decade on a range of assignments both domestic and foreign. in 1988 he won a won a pulitzer prize for national reporting. he was a will awarded for a pentagon budget use for defense research. that series led to tim's first book, blank check. the pentagon's black budget. he joined the new york times and mid- 1990s, cover national security issues. he he once described as nukes, spooks, and cooks. during that period, he co-authored this by called betrayal, later he served as correspondence for the times in mexico and traveled on assignment to a range of other garden spots as afghanistan, pakistan, kenya, the sudan, and a

richard nixon have been president for 14 months. the war in vietnam was not ending as he had promised. and he decided to take some extremely drastic measures which led to a series of disasters unlike any that the country had experienced probably since the civil war. >> it is the spring of 1970. nixon was sleepless, soul-searching, demonic insomnia returned. i don't think he ever slept. he dealt with it at night by drinking. the president by day fell into a dark state importance and almonds talking with the chief of staff about pres. scores of omnipotence he suddenly started planning the precise details of his own funeral. it predicted the 1970 would be the 1st year of his 1st term. heit plummeted 11 points. the endless war was the cause. the total vietnam was taking was measured not only in military caskets but wounds of the mind. an increasing number of veterans were shellshocked or heroin addicted. when they returned they found the war had come home with them. a battle within the american body politic. and all the while americans

no one else could have gone to china other than richard nixon. no one is going to accuse him of loving communism. nixon watches with the chinese and russians are doing. in 1969 they wage and savage war along the frontier in mongolia. in 1971 there one million men each backed by nukes tearing each other down. richard nixon says i think i can take advantage of the situation. in february of 1972 he goes to beijing. in may he goes to moscow. in beijing he promises diplomatic recognition. at that time china wasn't even a part of the u.n. in moscow he gives the promise of american grain. have had as disastrous harvest, they need that. armse signs the strategic treaty that cuts back on the nuclear arms race. then he has a free hand in dealing with north vietnam. he gets that from the chinese and soviets. 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

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

in his new book, one man against the world, the tragedy of richard nixon he revisits the spectacularall of one of our most controversial and complicated presidents. drying on documents declassified over the last year's tim looks back on the vietnam war and at the watergate scandal and most of all the tormented, complex figure who is central to those tumultuous years. in one review it was quote no one who reads this incisive book will be nostalgic for next and, no matter how disastrous his successors. i did learn just a moment ago that tim and his family have at least a personal connection to the next ten years. tim when he was a teenager accompanied his dad to the march on washington. when when they got back to their car they noticed somebody taken down the license plate, his dad worried that he would get a ticket. he didn't get a ticket but he did get audited for the next three years. ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming tim weiner. [applause]. thank you brad, thank you everybody here who works at politics and prose. whether they are selling books, buying books, or read

but richard nixon intervened in the case. he is called intervenor. so we are joined at the hip, in that they say immore tallized, entombed forever in the mud elf a case. any how, intervened and the flow of legal papers started until his death in 19194 i will interject at this poind and say i'm convinced richard nixon-- richard nixon could live another hundred years we have fought with every tool and resource in his command. he just didn't want to deal with these again in his lifetime. >> i think what i have done is to write against the running time. >> rose: write against the running time. >> yeah. >> rose: meaning? >> the present time is really quick. and alwaysed feeling to forget to go back, to see-- in all of my books i have the present time inside but it's always looking back as a relation between-- because that was one of my lessons i got that are you not able to do anything in future if you have no knowledge of the pasttime. and you cannot understand the present time without this knowledge of the pasttime. >> rose: of the past. >> yeah. >> i'v

i never could have imagined that richard nixon would become president. i was dictating a speech against wally hickel, to be delivered by senator tydings, and forgot to turn on the television to watch nixon." as a journalist, what was he doing getting involved in trying to get somebody defeated for the cabinet? tyler: he did it all the time. he absolutely did it all the time. one of the -- as a journalist, he didn't think that those rules applied to him. he didn't advertise it, but he worked behind the scenes or what he thought was behind the scenes, trying to promote different senators to make speeches and he would write the speech for them about all sorts of different things. and it is fascinating. how did he have time to write the column and to travel to south dakota to give a speech? it is amazing. brian: when did you decide -- i've got an old column here, back in 1970 -- 1974. so you published the first round. it was between 1974 and today that the two different diaries have been published. tyler: yes. i should have done all three -- i should have do

richard nixon often spoke derisively of television.nly reagan and john kennedy recognized the power of the box in people's living room. -- room." craig: yes. yes. even now, how many years -- 51 years since john kennedy was president and you still watch these press conferences and they are just highly informative, highly entertaining and utterly compelling. he just had a gift for television. he was just very cool. everyone goes to the famous nixon-kennedy debates of 1960, but you see his interview with walter cronkhite, there something compelling about this man that you want to believe him. you want to believe him, you feel comfortable with him as being president of the united states. i think reagan had the same effect on people. brian: another one. "over wine and cheese, the matrons of georgetown said the anti-drug campaign was really about her public relations." and it was not? craig: i think that she did some good work. "just say no" is still part of the lexicon. i think there's probably statistics out there that show that her campai

but the last reason especially johnson or richard nixon are simply a continuation of the pre-existing era that i modestly define is the era of franklin roosevelt. that he just carries for to the great society. but the big thing that happened or the big change is the turn to the right. that is a story he embodied. because this. >> this is important. can you talk about early reagan and how he comes into a white man to with the conservative movement? >> those writing reagan's biography is how did he windup as president than a very conservative president? what is going on. he was not born a conservative, he essentially a legacy new deal of regret. his father had a hard time to hold down a job with a low-level position in the new deal in rural india -- illinois. they needed any income they could find. so the new deal with those numbers of the reagan family something that held the family together. sold ronald reagan was thankful to roosevelt and the new deal program for girl that he voted for roosevelt every chance he had in never thought seriously of that philosophy behind the new deal. bu

richard nixon's campaigned against the north is codenamed linebacker. why? 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 kn

it is my privilege to place a nomination, the man for 1968, the honorable richard m. nixon are 30 votes in wisconsin. and this should be put him across. >> richard m. nixon. [ applause ] >> sit down, get to work. [ laughter ] >> it looks like nixon. nobody is really surprised. and no committed republican feels cheated. what was the fuss all about? >> the republicans understand that nixon, in this time of tumultuousness, he gives people the sense of continuity. >> what is most important now is for us to think how we can get this war ended. >> mr. nixon talks of an honorable peace, but says nothing about how he would attain it. >> at this point, the war is continuing at as hot a pace as it has ever been. more troops are being killed every week than at any time in the course of the war. >> this weekend the enemy stepped up attacks throughout south vietnam. >> we knew that we would not be able to influence the republicans on vietnam. so, we wanted to put massive pressure on the democrats. i didn't think anything could happen with vietnam without that challenge. ♪ >> this is a c

[applause] >> stephen hess is an adviser to president richard nixon and chief of staff, patrick moynihanand the nixon white house, how did moynihan end of with nixon. >> nixon thought it would be the new nixon, 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 administ

. >> richard nixon ran for the house of representatives.t was the same kind of campaign in 1950.against me the essence of that kind of campaign is this, to avoid the issues, you work up bogus issues. brian: that is from "american experience" on pbs. tell us the background on her. betty: she's talking about the senate campaign in 1950 when she lost to richard nixon. the relationship with lyndon goes back to their days together in the house. lyndon was younger than she by about seven years. when she came in the house of representatives from california in 1945, she was, i say in the book, gorgeous, hollywood-smart, and glamorous. all the men in the house of the representatives, she was not the only woman, but she was the most glamorous. i said she stands out like a birthday cake on the salad bar. of course lyndon was going to make a play for her. he appears in her office almost first day she is there and offers to show her around. he stood up for her when she was attacked on the house floor by congressman rankin for the same thing said in the

the richard nixon presidential library. god bless america. [inaudible conversations] ♪ . . >> guest: kathy is my mother and in the course of thinking about this book i realized that person that i grew up knowing which was such an obvious statement that one of my main wishes i wanted to read about my mother was to explore the impact of her death on my life, explorer relationship, think about the difference -- the different versions of myself that i was without her. i also had strong wish to bring her to lie for my children who were born after she was gone. it was so heartbreaking when i was pregnant with my daughter that she would never know this person. when i was lying in might be bed and my husband said when you write the book that will tell her who they were. and i had such a feeling of anxiousness in fear at the task that i knew that was exactly what i needed to do. the book became a lot more than that. it became a story about figuring out who i was and who i had done and i think some of the largest discoveries that a reader or my daughte

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

that's richard nixon era. i started to become more and more interested in politics. i had already been interested in cartoons. started copying comic strips in second grade. >> wow. >> it's a natural progression. one thing i did learn is that over the years, it doesn't make any difference what i've done to politics. they had no power over me of a teacher that i caricatured. >> different story. >> the iowa chair of the republican party said something to me once, he said you never forget the first time brian it's a rite of passage to legislators. we'll jump into the show. chat with former state rep wayne ford. also nina turner, she had endorsed hillary clinton, is now endorseing bernie sanders. will go chat with her. all of that and more on another episode of "roske on politics." >> we will become a rich and great nation again. a great honor. >> we have the top one tenth of one percent. >> the iranians keep negotiating. that's what they did. >> the thing i'm concerned about in this nation the last few years have not changed. >> we're chatting with mark leibovitz -- >> g

. >> chairman bush was one of only three people who actually had the guts to say to richard nixon to his face that he thought he should go. nick sims walks in on august 7, august 6, 1974, and says i think it's time for us to discuss the most important issue facing the country, inflation. big issue but perhaps the fact that you're about to be impeached is a little greater. and sewed the attorney general, bill saxby, says something to him, and then bush says whatever is going to have to happen about the president's future has to happen soon because it's august of an even numbered year and your dad is looking at congressional numbers which are just a total nightmare, and her father also said because nixon was saying i have all the support in the senate, he said no, you don't. someone is not giving you the truth. and you know as president of eager our people to come to the bad news? >> rarely. >> so what he does is he leaves his cabinet baby and he writes a letter urging the president to resign. so the chairman of the rnc has now written a letter to richard nixon telling him his patron t

. >> yeah, in 1968 there was an election to richard nixon. >> yeah, and he got 14 percent of the poplar votes. >> yeah, but he got nixon to adopt a southern strategy and that's been the strategy of the republican party every since. trump should be showing the way to the rest of the republicans. we get a chance to learn from him. >> i know that the clinton forces are hoping that she gets the nomination and that it's trump against the nomination. they're hoping the same with reagan and getting concern with bush senior with that and saying that we want don't to go up against george sr. we know what happened in nevere -- >> the numbers of the delegates and the votes that you need to win are increasingly getting more complicated. this is the fact because they're not in the favor. >> that's not what i asked. you think that you're getting ahead of yourself and hoping and praying. >> my point is this. you have mitt winning the votes and then the next one has to win 40 percent in order to win. >> he is not a franchise. if you look at the polls today he is not franchising anybody else in the repu

. >> how to get more conservatives to buy in, amy and affirmative action started under richard nixon.uldn't know that now. how could we get more buy-in from conservatives while at the same time keep the progressive community energized? >> you have to look for places of common ground, something senator rand paul is doing in working with cory booker on drug issues and sentencing so you're fighting those sorts of places where yes, you can get republican and conservative buy-in, but i think it's also up to other civil rights leaders to be inclusive and willing to sit at the table and not demonize conservatives simply because they arrived at the goal from a different path. so for example, education reform, supporting school choice, supporting parents that want to send their kids to the best schools they can. you look at ferguson for example and the tragedy there. we have the trang gedy of the yg man killed but also economically depressed town, like this is the last thing folks need. what can we do to rebuild theis with, create more opportunity and hope and get more black young men in parti

rather than impeachment, my question is, did richard nixon know ford was going to pardon him before he stepped down? >> the question have been broached a week before next and left office. by his new chief of staff general alexander haig. by the way it's the only person ever went from kernel to four-star general of five years without being in combat. unless you count clinical combat. it is ambiguous. the evidence is ambiguous. president ford absolutely did it on the stack of bibles that there is any deal cut. here was the dilemma he faced. if ford had not pardon sent there is no question that and would have been indicted for obstruction of justice among other crimes. that would've been a pretty ugly process is our bicentennial anniversary approach. there's no precedent for that in american history. the criminal conviction of a former president. so, ford ford was trying to bind up the nation's moon, they are long national nightmare is over, let's put this behind us. he thought he was doing the right thing. he guaranteed that he would not be elected on his own right two years later. i

my parents voted for richard nixon in 1972. so did most of the people across the south. kevin phillips and a lot of people in manhattan and georgetown said it's because we are racist. no, they weren't going to vote for george. my mom and dad supported the strong national defense. they were tough on communism. they thought what we were doing in vietnam wasn't tough enough. they thought what was going on is we're not tough enough. they didn't vote for richard nixon for the reasons people in manhattan was suggesting and you're making the same mistake all those people make. your father is not sinister. let me finish and i'll give you the floor. my brother and your father are not voting for donald trump because they hate muslims. my brother and your father are voting for donald trump because they hate washington. there are racist out there supporting him. >> nicole speaks. >> my father is ignoring things that a normal political climates would offend him. my father in a normal political comment would be offended by a man -- in times my father is a rational voter that would be

a photo in my book as a very uncomfortable richard nixon in a suit pumping gas for polio. what the march of dimes would do would be to hold these gigantic fundraisers where you would have marilyn monroe walking down the runway and monitoring the latest fashions. they would have these fashion shows all around the country. harry winston had a jewel tour in which he would send the help dimon and all kinds of famous jewels around the country and -- the hope diamond and all kinds of famous jewels around the country. harry winston would send his jewels around and you would have people pay a dime, a quarter, dollar to get in. by far was the mother's march against polio, which is used today by virtually every organization. my mother was in the mother's march. on night a year usually -- and ithday, women mean millions of women -- would get together, block by block, scourct by precinct and for polio. the symbol was "turn your porch light on" so that any porch light on meant a family would be giving to polio and someone like my mother who hated to be turned , you knew you were going

if i remember correctly talk about reagan was a transformative president in the way richard nixon and bill clinton weren't. a backhand swipe at hillary when that was hotly contested, bill clinton and nixon together, wonderful smack down he was playing. then you go back and read which of his books, he's very harsh on clinton for having talent that squatted and not accomplishing anything from a liberal point of view and that made sense because clinton understood liberalism after reagan and bush was on probation. you can see what happens when he went too far the first two years and obama's determination in the sentences, probation is over. that is the root of that comment which not only was very brutal political rhetoric but also reflected a deeper seriousness about him that i for one admire even if i don't like him but anyway. >> is interesting to me to hear conservatives who believe obama has accomplished the most, that he has accomplished fundamental transformation of america in a very sinister way. liberals look at obama and are sort of like disappointed the didn't get much done and

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.
