richard nixon is a hard man to let go of. child in black and white fuzzy television seeing this on man, he was on the ticket with general eisenhower and there was some problem of his taking money from a secret fund, and he was talking about his daughters dog and i thought, isn't he interesting. well, he never stopped being interesting. richard nixon was never boring and as david mentioned, he was probably as interesting after his presidency as he was during. i chronicle in the book beginning with spiro agnew, i remember him being in some trouble and i had said to my editor at the new yorker, the very limited and justly legendary william john and he said what are you thinking of writing next and i said, i have the feeling we will change vice president's and presidents within the year. 1973 so itlabor day, was a wild and out there thought at the time. and so, we agreed that i would write a journal. not a journal -- not a diary, but watch the events and interpret them and talk about them and we didn't know where it was going and

family,the all-american did not last because a month after he became president, ford pardoned richard nixon. a number of explanations have been given. he believes nixon could not get a fair trial, he had heard nixon was very sickly, he believed nixon had suffered enough, and ford said he was tired of being asked about whether he would pardon nixon, would nixon go to trial, and he wants to get the country focused on important issues. the way he felt he could do that was bipartisan former president. the formerning president. the anger was intense. some people charging there was a conspiracy by which nixon resigned in return for a promise to pardon him. the anger was so intense that as one aide later said, the pardon destroyed ford's image. lot ford had to talk about. the u.s. withdrawal from vietnam. u.s. ship when the was seized by cambodia for a brief time, the crew taken hostage. promoting arms control with the soviet union, the middle east peace process, an economic recession, the new york city financial crisis, all of these have been dealt with by other presidential scholars. there are o

and so this gives an opening for richard nixon. but as richard nixon makes his great comeback, he's very mindful of what his public image will be. it's subject of satire on the cover of esquire magazine whachlt does he do? he -- what -- magazine. what does he do? he hires some key aides who are very savvy to the power of television media to deliver a message. chief among them being roger ales, a young aide who found fox news. also among the come pain staff for nixon is a -- campaign staff for nixon is a young patrick buchanan who becomes a presidential candidate himself and television pundit and is responsible for writing some of the more strongly conservative speeches that nixon gives gurg the '68 -- during the '68 campaign. so he's got a television savvy group around him. and he builds a public image that is very different from the image that he has in the 1960. -- in 1960. he's trying to distance himself from this. one key prong is advertising and using television advertising creatively in a way that actually doesn't foreground

yet he endorsed richard nixon's family assistance plan even though that would increase people on the lfare rolls. as another example, ford had adopted a hard line toward communist china as a member of congress. but he endorsed nixon's decision a achieve a rapprochement with china. just how much ford's views could change and how it got him in trouble from his constituents -- in 1972, nixon became the first president to visit china since it had gone communist. ford decided, i want to go as well. one of the most wonderful collections at the ford library is his congressional papers. you get a good idea of what his constituents were thinking about what he was doing, what policies he should adopt or not adopt. one of the letters had to do with ford's decision to visit communist china. some of the letters sent to ford were were praiseworthy. there was one constituent who was not happy with for doing this. he wrote to ford, i do not want to wish you a bad luck. but i hope your aircraft falls into the pacific ocean for stabbing the american people in the back. it was the same kind of double cr

and everybody expected richard nixon was not going to reappoint walter washington as the mayor. and when nixon came in and re-appointed walter washington, it changed the whole cly nat the district of columbia in terms of opening up possibilities. what i found was, once nixon was there was all of my reform ideas that i had in mind which was languished under lyndon johnson was suddenly interesting and by may of 1969, i my first correctional reform programs were funded. you can't imagine how fast the federal government moved under those circumstances and that changed my life. what really changed -- >> we're going to stop you right there. >> that gets you started. >> life has changed. >> we're very eager to tell our stories. these are good idealistic people, young people coming to washington. and then we get to john kohlmann. >> thank you very much, jeff. i'm very honored to be here today and this panel. i graduated from college in 1964. a year later, i joined the federal bureau of narcotics in new york. my boss found out that i took to post language literature. this t me to working

. >> that was president richard nixon, assailing the media for their coverage of the watergate scandalre he was forced to resign. nixon's disdain for media has been compared to trumps with one key difference. nixon kept his harshest comments private while president trump has let it all air out. >> those people right up there with all the cameras. they are the worst. those very dishonest people back there, absolute dishonest, absolute scum. we have a very crooked media. it's time to expose the crooked media deceptions. >> it's frankly disgusting the way the press is able to write whatever they want to write. i've never seen more dishonest media. they're bad people and i think they don't like our country. the media deserves a very, very big fat fat failing grade. they are the enemy of the people. i would never kill them. but i do hate them. and some of them are such lying disgusting people. it's true. >> joining us cnn political the analyst, also a historian and professor of hirnts at princeton university. julian zalzer. hue do you think trump ace disdain and relationship with the media

he saw richard nixon, a front-runner for the presidency was threatening to roll back everything the warren court accomplished, it was becoming a big campaign issue and nixon was going hard right on that issue. he saw it coming. in june, 1968, a few days after bobby kennedy had been assassinated. chief warren johnson told the president he was going to retire as soon as possible, as soon as a successor would be named. he did not want to run the risk it might be richard nixon to win the election and thereby get the opportunity to replace him on the supreme court. he said he was out. at 68, lyndon johnson suddenly has the opportunity to choose a supreme court justice a few months before the presidential election. he wasn't going to get to pick not just any justice, he would get to pick a chief justice. johnson decided to elevate somebody already on the bench, already on the supreme court as an associate justice. it was a complete disaster. abe fortis had been on the supreme court a couple years, a friend of president johnson. when he said he wanted to elevate him from from a regular seat to th

impeached no it's very hard to be president if a president commits a crime while in office like like richard nixon did surely he would have been impeached he paid her money he told his horn is the lie of the f.b.i. destroyed evidence he committed crimes while in office and donald trump if there's evidence that he committed crimes of course would be circular to impeachment my argument is you need to commit a crime to be impeached is not good enough to say he's a bad president or we don't want this policies or he's done terrible things you have to find a specific on the constitution says it has to be the bribery treason or other high crimes and missed in the soul when i haven't seen it bill clinton was wrongly impeached i think it was he did according to the allegations commit a crime it wasn't a high crime you know it was covering up for a sordid affair that's not what hamilton and madison basically wrote the impeachment provisions of the constitution had in mind they had minor crimes that affect the national security crimes like richard nixon's crimes covering up a burglary to help them get electe

richard nixon was out there doing his best george wallace. he started talking about the forgotten americans and non shouters and demonstrators that are not racist or sick or guilty of crimes that plagues the land. nixon called them the real voice of america and he pitched himself as the law and order candidate. he promised to appoint supreme court justices who'll over turn. he said he'll restore the country to a system of laws and orders and conservative judges. that was part of nixon's southern strategy and peel off george wallace supporters and make it his own. chief justice warren saw what was happening. he saw richard knicnixon, a fro runner was threatening to roll back everything that was accomplished. he saw it coming. in june 1968, just a few days after bobby kennedy had been assassina assassinated. chief warren told lyndon johnson that he was going to retire as soon as possible. chief justice warren did not want to run the risk that richard nixon was going to win the election. he said he was out. at '68, lyndon johnson had an opportuni

in eight hundred forty three to bill clinton's i did not have sexual relations and of course richard m. nixon the group candling of the watergate scandal and its fallout the impeachment process was found in article two section four of the us constitution that according to history dot com the process includes the filing of formal charges with us which at the federal level is performed for the u.s. house of representatives and the resulting trial which is conducted conducted by the u.s. senate during which the chief of chief justice of the u.s. supreme court acts as judge since the first accusations of alleged russian interference in twenty's in the twenty six team the us election in favor of donald trump there have been calls from the neo liberal left and the russian the whole russia hawks on the right for the impeachment of president trump especially after his firing of former f.b.i. director james comey but one prominent legal voice has spoken out against these calls for him to teach men fans lawyer and harvard law professor alan dershowitz and his latest book the case against impeaching tru

( laughter ) >> wallace: how does richard nixon, if elected by a majority? ndidate made a remark that history would note. >> nixon: the most important thing about a public man is not whether he's loved or disliked, but whether he's respected. and i hope to restore respect to the presidency at all levels by my conduct. >> bill clinton: we moved into this place... >> kroft: virtually all of the presidents of the last half century have fielded questions on the broadcast. >> jimmy carter: you didn't anticipate all these questions. >> stahl: are you really going to build a wall? >> donald trump: yes. >> kroft: lesley got the first television interview with donald trump shortly after he won the 2016 election. >> stahl: are people going to be surprised about how you conduct yourself as president? >> trump: you know, i'll conduct myself in a very good manner. >> stahl: he was thoughtful. he answered all my questions. but are you going to be tweeting? >> trump: i'm going to do very restrained, if i use it at all. >> stahl: and i thought, okay, he's not going to tweet

richard nixon was not -- they didn't have it in the impeachment papers against nixon because lying is bad but because by lying about the specific things he was lying about, he was trying to cover up existence of a crime that he knew had happened. >> yes. >> and that was in the minds of the people that voted for those articles of impeachment, that was a criminal matter, not just a bad character trait. >> thank you, rachel. >> thanks, lawrence. good luck, my friend. >> well, as you just heard, president trump knew. he has always known. and that has been kind of obvious from the start. president trump's obvious public fear of vladimir putin is as peculiar and consistent as donald trump's hair and both of those consistent peculiarities were on display tonight in the president's latest television interview, this one with cbs news. >> if you believe u.s. intelligence agencies, is putin lying to you? >> i don't want to get into whether or not he's lying. >> why not? why not get into whether or not he's lying. you know he's lying. but if you say you believe your director of national intellige

how did you actually serve that subpoena to get richard nixon's tapes?actually had to think about, but it turned out to have a very simple answer because for all the bad things that richard nixon did, he did have some respect for the law and he allowed his attorneys to accept service of process. which is a very typical way of any defendant being served, is the lawyer for the defendant accepts the service. but it would be very hard. you can't just walk into the white house and you can't just walk up to the president, so it isn't that easy, just as we've seen now with jared kushner, you can't walk up to jared kushner and say, hi, i have something for you. you have to have a way to get past the secret service. if they are determined to protect him, that's going to be very hard. >> so now the lawyers who have been trying to serve this legal process on jared kushner have gone into federal court explaining to the judge we have exhausted every method for doing this and what we would now like to do is simply send him this legal process in the mail, just in first

richard nixon created the office of communications director. a lot of fun for you to tell the audience who that was. >> it was a guy named herb klein, who had been nixon's press secretary in 1960 when he ran for president and lost. and nixon thought that klein was not tough enough and so he actually kicked him upstairs by creating this term, you know, this title, director of communications, and he didn't do too much. the irony is that that job has become a lot more important. now, bill shine has a slightly different title, but i think what we're going to see with bill shine is, not only optics and this is how you stage a rally for president trump, but these -- this is the kind of language that works on fox news. these are the kinds of things you should say that will mobilize your audience. those are tools that nixon never had. >> yeah, and i wonder how he'll deal with every other part of the media -- >> i can only imagine and you can, too. >> yeah, indeed. michael beschloss, nbc news presidential historian. always a treat to talk to you. >> sam

faulkner: we have the inauguration of richard nixon. that night, we go to the ball and drink and have a good time. , once you haveay woken up from that good night you had, the very next day after the inauguration, nixon says i want the state department, the department of defense, the cia, the embassy in saigon, i want all of the major players to give me your assessment. you have 20 days, you come back to me and tell me your assessment of what is going on on the ground, what is possible and what is not. that tells you how important it is, his first official act. tell me what i have to do with vietnam, because i don't have a secret plan. what do these guys come back and tell him? go ahead. that thell agreed south the enemy not strong enough to do it on his own -- on its own. do just major't combat operations or [indiscernible] we had to do both. the u.s. and south vietnamese. prof. faulkner: what do you know if your richard nixon when it comes to us? >> we needed to let the south vietnamese handle the business and put that face on it. prof

there were a number of supreme court justices who at the time had been appointed by richard nixon. but because they were appointed prior to nixon allegedly having committed any crimes or having been investigated, they didn't recuse themselves. only one did. william rehnquist on the basis he had worked in the nixon administration. at the time rehnquist saw fit because he had tied to the administration to step out. nobody has stepped out because the president is under investigation. >> no. and i think the remarkable thing about the supreme court decision in water gate was it was a unanimous opinion from people appointed by republicans as well as democrats. people who had been appointed by richard nixon. they decided that the rule of law was more important than a president and they said the president had to comply with the grand jury subpoena and turn documents over to the grand jury. >> stoeven, let's talk about th interpretations of what a president has to do with respect to criminal or other investigations. having been part of the ken star investigation, what's the legal thought? >>

constitution had in mind they had minor crimes that affect the national security crimes like richard nixon's crimes covering up a burglary to help them get elected that kind of thing those are the kinds of crimes we had in mind or real obstruction of justice and if there is evidence that the president committed any of those crimes he would be said to her i think that the buckle of it nobody's below the law could your book be a little premature what if robert muller. indicts well then. i argue in my book and i think most of the framers good agree with that and i think most constitutional scholars agree with that and judge kavanagh agrees that they should be able to indict a sitting president but if he does get indicted and he sends that over to the house and there is a plausible case for a crime then impeachment proceedings will go forward. when i don't like is that they're charging him with things like collusion with russia it would be a terrible thing if he could with russia but it's not a crime we're losing peers in the criminal statute books only in relation to business people colluding w

amy: i want to turn to richard nixon speaking in 1970 when he outlined a sweeping plan to protect the environment. three years later, he signed the enendangered species act. the greatand xm: question -- nixon: the great question of the 1970'0's is shal we surrender to our surroundings or shahall we make our peace wih nature and begin to makake reparations for the damage we have done to our air, to our land, and to our w water? [applause] amy: that is richard nixon speaking back in the 1970's. i want to go back to republican senator john barrasso of wyoming speaking at a hearing for a draft bill to amend the endangngered species a act. >> the discussion draft elevates the role of states in partnering with the federal government to implement the endangered species act. it affords states the opportunities to l lead wildlife , includingn efforts the establishment of recovery teams and developing and implementing recovery plans. it provides for increasing regulatory certainty so stakeholders are incentivized to enter into recovery activities. it increases transparency. it codifies prioriti

she said that is so sweet of richard nixon's campaign records to give a boy all the campaign buttons. i didn't say they gave them to them but the statute of limitations has passed. if you didn't get one please do. we in the law are associated with that. it is appropriate to bring a gavel to this meeting to order. this is a special gavel from my collection. this is a gavel used by a member of the house of representatives and the majority leader, the speaker of the house to preside over the iconic 1968 democratic national convention, this was the gavel used, banged down by hubert humphrey who challenged for the presidency. you can't see the picture of hubert humphrey, shaking hands with george mcgovern, hands if you look at the corner. and have a chance to look at this memorabilia. let's talk about 1968. a fascinating year, one of the most iconic elections in american history certainly in the 20th century. the election that got me interested in politics. i never thought i would be writing about that campaign. one of the things you find when you write a book, all the people you have know

richard nixon picked four judges. i can't say that's in the top ten list of how you define richard nixon. and secondly, i think the legacy here is more to do with republican party than with president trump. i think that they made a bargain, some would call it a devil's bargain that they would hold their nose on so many other aspects of donald trump just to get to this moment today. and so you i don't sleeper agents exactly. but they are particularly as they come on younger, you're talking about 35, 40, 45 years of jurisprudence. and you also wonder in the court we all change our minds if we're i think if we're thinking and living and you wonder whether any of these justices will evolve over time. >> david, i was reminded today the vote on ginsburg, ginsburg, not all that long ago in our lifetimes, was 96-3. she was not a puzzle to us. writers of history, it strikes me you're entire business is all about timing. look back at the last three presidents, two term presidents. they had two picks over eight years. along come

political journalist elizabeth drew talks about her book, washington journal, reporting watergate and richard nixon's downfall. 1975, ity published in covers the nixon administration from september, 1973 to august, 1974. the book was reissued 40 years later with an afterword covering nixon's time after he was forced to resign. politicsrecorded at and prose bookstore in washington, d.c. in 4014. it is about one hour.

richard nixon picked four judges.an't say that's in the top ten list of how you define richard nixon. and secondly, i think the legacy here is more to do with republican party than with president trump. i think that they made a bargain, some would call it a devil's bargain that they would hold their nose on so many other aspects of donald trump just to get to this moment today. and so you see so many other things exploding around trump. and yet, this is what they were waiting for. >> john, you and david as writers of history, it strikes me you're entire business is all about timing. look back at the last three presidents, two term presidents. they had two picks over eight years. along comes donald trump and he gets two picks right off the bat. 18 months and sooner or later, guys like you are writing about legacy, whatever else happens that defines whatever this presidency is. >> absolutely. it's interesting. if judge kavanaugh is confirmed, we'll have one justice from the one term president from george walker bush, cl

so in a way, richard nixon has won. >> and i have to ask you. it will be a lot of fun for to you tell the audience who it was. >> it was a guy named herb kline who was nixon's press secretary in 1960 when he ran for president and lost. nixon thought he wasn't tough enough so he kicked him upstairs by creating this title. director of communications. that job has become a lot more important. i think what we'll see with bill shine, not only optics and this is how you stage a rally but this is the kind of language that works on fox news. those are the things you should say. >> and i wonder what he'll say about how he deals with every other part of the media. >> i can only imagine and you can, too. >> indeed. micha michael, thank you. >>> parting is such sweet sorrow. scott pruitt, the epa chief who until now has been like teflon when it came to scandals, has resigned. e eats a bowl of hammes at every meal ♪ ♪ he holds your house in the palm of his hand ♪ ♪ he's your home and auto man ♪ big jim, he's got you covered ♪ ♪ great big jim, there ain't no o

richard nixon said one year of watergate is enough. one year later, a tape caused him to resign from the presidency. >> the reason i'm asking you is that when cohen is talking to trump about it and he's talking about his friend, david pecker, it doesn't sound like they're talking about just one thing. and i believe if people listen to it closely, they're going to hear him say those things they were talking about that he has. and it seems like there was a collection of things that they wanted back from david pecker. that's why i'm asking you. i know you won't answer, but i want that to be in people's minds that this may not have been just about karen mcdougal. >> let me try to answer that. michael cohen is an authentic, sincere man, hurting because the power of the presidency, rudy giuliani, and all the henchmen are now after michael cohen. and he's living in a hotel because his apartment was drenched, and he's forced to live in a hotel with family that's being attacked by a president. and the end result here is what they were talking a

and richard nixon immediately said, liar. might have said pathological liar but he said liar, liar, liar. john dean is not telling the truth. ultimately the tapes came out, john dean was proven to be right and richard nixon was lying. so donald trump jr. is in trouble here and donald trump sr. is in trouble here potentially if michael cohen is telling the truth and there's any corroborating evidence. >> liz, let me press you on that because of course officials with president trump, those in his camp, are going to say, hey, wait a minute, that moment you just talked about was possibly the pivotal moment of watergate, one of several. but one of the biggest. do you really say and what makes you think this could be that pivotal? >> it could be. because what we have is a meeting. we know that this was a meeting that represent end the russian government's support for donald trump's election as president. secondly, we know that the campaign was meeting to get dirt on hillary clinton to further donald trump's election as president. s

he would have trounced richard nixon. richard nixon was so scared and intimidated by the whole kennedy family, he became mush as a candidate. which he was, anyway. so under those circumstances, in my mind. had he lived, and gotten the nomination, he could have or would have become president. >> fred pappert, who was an ad man for bobby's campaign in '64 and '68. would always say, if hubert humphrey had beaten nixon, bobby kennedy. i'm not sure given the electoral college. going back though to getting the nomination, i think bobby had a strong shot at it. one of the things i write about in the, my book is, in 1964, when bobby first was deciding how he was going to pursue power. he went a very conventional route and thought -- if i want to be president, i should be vice president. and he immediately looks at it through the way of the lens of the convention delegates and where the power is and he's going through doing things he has to do. one of the ways the newspapers helped me is i could track where he was planning on goin

richard nixon is president of the united states.also hearing something else on the part of people analyzing this, and that is an attempt to turn all of this into a campaign finance violation. we really do not want, lawrence, to go down the road where we say anything that happens that can be helpful to an ongoing political campaign should be monetized and counted as a contribution and therefore contribute to the criminalization of american politics. i think that's a terrible way to go. there are lots of ways of judging donald trump without getting into that swamp. >> and the tape tonight comes on a day that the president began by tweeting "tariffs are great." these are tariffs that have already begun to separate him from some of his support in the agricultural states which were crucial to his electoral college win. that day ends with this tape of the presidential candidate donald trump, who needs the affection of those voters who are now suffering under his tariffs more than he's ever needed it before. >> this is just another day in

later in the -- he was on richard nixon's enemies list.e will spend much of the hour dellum in hison own words. ourell come to all of listeners and viewers around the country and world. think back to the last time you took a flight. while you were in the airport, did you observe the boarding gate from afar? did you touch your face or perspire? fidget? if you exhibited any of these or other behaviors, armed federal air marshals may have followed you and collected extensive information about your movements. a boston globe investigation has revealed the existence of a domestic surveillance program run by the transportation security administration, or tsa, which has been surveilling us citizens on planes and in airports since 2012. under the program, called "quiet skies," federal air marshals collect information about u.s. travelers, including common behavior like using the bathroom repeatedly, sleeping on flights, or sweating heavily. this is a video clip from the boston globe about the program. >> air marshals typically assist and surveilled

this was the gavel used that combination of hubert humphrey as the man that challenged richard nixon for the presidency. i have a picture of him here. you probably can't see it but it's a picture of hubert humphrey at the convention being treated after his acceptance speech shaking hands with george mcgovern, here is his first hand man anfirst-handman and if you e corner you see the gavel. i thought that was appropriate and i hope you will get a chance to look at some of this memorabilia. let's talk a little bit about a year 1968. a fascinating year, probably one of the most iconic in the history certainly in the 20th century. it got me interested in politics. one of the things yo things defl these people you've known for years come up to you and tell you i've written a book or i started a book or i'm thinking about writing a book. maybe i can take a couple of minutes and share my journey as a writer because it led directly to this new book that was published today. this book i wrote thanks to newt gingrich for my term in the house of representatives. i was on time, that he was early

[applause] amy: 45 years after president richard nixon signed the endangered species act, the landmark legislation is under an

actual president richard nixon signing the act, which established the trans-alaska pipeline system. and there's an interesting story this. senator stevens introduced an house which the would block any kind of legal pipeline to the system. and they were losing the vote. and senator stevens on the floor a very impassioned statement, which actually fellow the mind of a senator, which led to a tie in presidentwhich vice spiro agnew had to break the tie. once the trans-alaska pipeline act was passed, permitting and construction immediately began on the pipeline. and that pipeline system actually transformed the state of alaska. at the time, it was the largest privately financed energy project. still a marvel ofin' of today.ion >> our bill would allow foreign fishing only after it had been americand that fishermen cannot harvest a which would not deplete the system. the foreigners would have to pay a fee to fish and would be closely monitored. high seas, the determination of economic dislocation would be made by fishing for aow species such as salmon. that thext issue senator tackled was
