the national archives and the richard nixon foundation hosted this event. this is 1.5 hours. >> i am particularly happy to welcome so many veterans of the nixon administration that are here. some of you have already been participants at earlier nixon forums. the last time we were together was in melinda of 2016. the first nixon legacy forum was held here at mcgowan theater in january 2010. over the last eight years there have been more than 30 of these forums covering all aspects of richard nixon's consequential administration. most of them have been here in the mcgowan theater and most of them have been covered by c-span. it's good to see that c-span is with us again today. all of these forums have been filmed and recorded by the nixon foundation and are an important part of the historical record available to students and scholars and any individuals on the website and the national archives, the nixon library, and the nixon foundation. the form has covered domestic policy as well as the managerial revolution that president nixon ushered into the west wing a

how did you come to richard nixon's attention? >> i got involved in the campaign basically because my husband got involved. i was a graduate student columbia. he was a professor at columbia. someone for dinner from nixon's law firm who said you really ought, with your views, you ought to be working for richard nixon. martin got in touch and len basically recruited martin. the first thing that martin did for richard nixon -- one of the first things -- it's dated july 4, 1967, is to make the argument for abolishing the military draft and moving to an all volunteer armed force. and martin, like other tens of thousands of young men in the country, had dealt with the issue of getting drafted. and he had joined rotc. the reserve officer training corps at dartmouth. he went on to be a reserve member of the army security agency. >> i will interrupt for just a second. elected to move the slides, so you will start to see pictures of these people from 50 years ago. >> that is me. [laughter] >> i apologize that i did not bring this up. this is

nixon decided he may have to change his policy. ray price and i and richard whelan who was a tremendously gifted writer. we were working on a speech. we got a call from fred said,peare and frank lyndon johnson once to go live on cbs. nixon told me, he was going to wisconsin. he said listen to johnson's speech. tell me whatp and he says on vietnam and reported to me. i was in the car with this wonderful black fella. he and i were in the car and here comes johnson at the end of the speech and he says i will not seek and i will not accept the nomination for my party and i'm on the runway, and the reporters are coming and nixon is coming in and i said get this car down to the plane. the limo got out of and landed the plane and told nixon what had happened. romney dropped out, rockefeller dropped out and johnson dropped out and nixon says i guess it is the year of the dropout. not his greatest moment but it was extraordinary that this should happen. ballgame.hole new was in the democratic race against mccarthy and against bobby kennedy. they had a three-way race.

but the richard nixon they supported through the years was not the richard nixon they thought they knew. >> every generation had to lose their virginity. it was the day my yen racing did. but to think we're the only generation that had that experience is probably the mistake that a lot of generations make. >> he is already before the cameras. it's now president richard mill house, nixon, 37th president of the united states. >> throughout the long and difficult period of watergate, i felt it was my duty to persevere. >> watergate doesn't go. was so extraordinary. so hidden. >> we act like it can't happen again. it did a lot of stuff after a loot of hooha, passing laws, giving speeches. if you ask me, do i think we learned anything from it? no. >> i have never been a quitter. to leave office before my term is completed is abhor rent to every instinct in my body. buts a president, i must put the interests of america first. >> the president had been driven from office because the american people had learned the truth about richard nibblxon. but how we learned the truth, that fascinated me.

states. >> president ford's pardon of richard nixon stunned the nation. l problems were now over. >> when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal. >> by definition? >> exactly. >> the former president was still not accepting responsibility. three years after resigning, nixon was paid to participate in an historic interview with the british television journalist david frost. at the very end, the inevitable question came up. >> do you feel that you ever obstructed justice or were part of a conspiracy to obstruct justice? >> he would not -- he wouldn't really admit anything, not even mistakes or whatever. he was really stonewalling completely, and he was beginning to look like the haunted nixon of the actual watergate hearings rather than the californian ex-president. and so finally i said to him why don't you go further in the word mistake. >> what word would you express? >> and that was a real gob smacking moment. >> my goodness. i threw aside my clipboard, and i said, well, i think there are three things you ought to say. the first is that

richard nixon emerges from the 1968 election a winner. nixon comes from california, southern california and i did tell you some of this last week and i won't go all of it again. a quaker background religiously, but in 1968 he seeks to make the south an integral part of his election plan. of this campaign. he talks about broadly america. he talks about a silent majority. the people aren't necessarily out protesting in the streets or on college campuses. and ultimately what emerges with this appeal to law and order, this appeal to a constituency that often turned out to be quite white and quite southern, but a constituency that ultimately would become the core, the bedrock of nixon's rise and then his success again in 1972. >> this map shows the outcome of the 68 election and you will notice that nixon is in the upper slot -- south and out west and humphrey up in new england and the mid-atlantic states and texas which are in yellow. george wallace as we talked about last time, wallace in early 64 was running on a strategy nationally that too

you know, richard nixon is in many ways a tragic figure. there were many things he did that i think were again, quite laudatory. the environmental protection agency, the legal services corporation -- he started a lot of institutions within washington. he was willing to look at problems and try to fix them. but he became fixated on his position, his power, his enemies, his adversaries. that is when he went awry. he went after them. he went after them through burglaries. you think about it. the watergate burglars stole paper. the russian burglars stole online, cyber materials. same purpose, to win elections, to put down your opponent. so there are some similarities, but i think that it would be difficult at this time, certainly, to draw those parallels. i think, again, what you want -- what i would want -- is no prejudgment. you go with the facts wherever they lead you. if you have read mueller's two indictments, which i would recommend, because they tell a story, they are so precise and so detailed, one about the social media interference, w

from 2000 to 2011 he directed the richard nixon presidential library. he has co-authored several books, most notably for our purposes today, "john f. kennedy: the great crisis" and in 2017 a book on george h.w. bush. and katherine algore is a noted american historian and specialized in biographies of american first ladies. most notably dolley madison. please enjoy this presentation on how different organizations, institutions and individuals are being changed and incorporating different perspectives and moments into the narrative of presidential history. thank you so. >> thank you. >> thank you for the kind introduction and to the whole team for including me and including all of us here. this has been a terrific few days already. and a lot of great programming. it's hard to follow john meacham and judy woodruff, but we have a great team here. one of the great things about this team, everyone on this panel has been a scholar and everyone also has run important historic institutions. and i want to get at that in the conversation, so i'm going to start --

the local expectation had to do with the fact that richard nixon was the son of yorba linda. so you have the national problem, which was how do you make this presidential library credible to scholars and stakeholders, who recognize and understandably associated richard nixon not just with watergate, but with years of litigation to prevent the release of tapes and papers. while at the same time, but with local folks who love the place because it reminded them of their childhood, he reminded them of their first vote, he reminded them of the things they like to remember about richard nixon and his family. so, the question for me was what is legacy? had learned in the job that the definition of legacy depends on the person. it's the consequences of a set of actions and decisions. in a clear minded nonpartisan way, to put the rest of the history and to include the rest of the legacy, you find yourself rubbing up against expert patient and, in some cases you produce anger and resentment, so that was a very interesting balance to try to strike, to meet both the expectations for nati

it's one of the signal moments of the richard nixon presidency. estion you ask is what is the celebrity doing? there is always a political motive. nixon at that time was trying to connect with the kind of -- >> the kids. >> connect with the kids, exactly, excellent nixon impersonation, by the way. also, country. you know, states that he was trying to connect with for 1972, but the more extreme version was, the fall of 1972, actually this week in october of 1972, guess who richard nixon had in the oval office and was photographed with? james brown. now, of all the people we could have imagined in the same room as richard nixon, it even outweighs what we saw today the reason he was there, we were told if you want a landslide 1972, you have to do better among people and slightly better among african-americans, so almost by computer james brown was the name of -- you got these ridiculous pictures of nixon and james brown, both of them looking like they can't understand what they're doing and they probably didn't. >> by the way, show time produced this

richard nixon sitting on either side. [applause] the other day when i listen celtic city, i mentioned that general eisenhower once said he was talking about politicians on the fact that they were so different. the resulting one thing he thought most successful politicians have in common, and that was the ability to marry about themselves. governor romney and i did that, of course. and then my two daughters, t ricia and julie. [applause] just arrived here from a campaign appearance in buffalo. they have a little heckling, but they learn to handle that. and anyone in our family learns how to be heckled. now we want to go directly to the questions. programs youwhich will repeal? mr. nixon: i was talking about ones that deal with poverty in cities. many of the poverty programs, particularly the job corps program. i'm referring to some of the approaches to public housing, and i am referring to programs in the area of welfare. when you're talking about repealing, i am not saying we just vote down and cut out all of those progra

richard nixon. what platform is nixon running on? >> and the war. >> is not talking about pulling up the trips yet but he's promising i'm going to end the war. if you are in peoria what do you see? >> the absence of law and order and he's promising the things. >> and the democrats are running hubert humphrey. there will be a problem. the convention for that year will be held in chicago. the students for democratic action and these antiwar groups and a host of other protest groups are going to gather together in chicago the mayor from chicago was richard daly and he does not like to have the machine messed with. so i the protesters start to search he calls out his cops. what happens next will be called a police riot. do you know what that is? >> they start beating up civilians? >> the nightstick upside the sticky had. outside of the convention the news cameras are rolling the pictures are being taken. there's young american citizens being whacked in the head by the man and then carried off. as they are getting whacked in the head the

court of appeals has ruled decisively against richard m. nixones. >> reporter: it was a sign of a cover-up and nixon had been fighting to keep the tapes se secret, but now a court ordered him to turn them over. >> the president nixon says he will not comply with nor conform to turn over to tape, but he will supply a summary of the tapes. >> reporter: the white house prosecutor archibald cox responded in a historic nationally tell the vised news conference. >> in the end, i decided to stick by what i knew was right. >> reporter: he had rejected nixon's plan saying that it did not comply with what was promised to him. the prosecutor and the president were on a collision course. >> the country is in the midst of what may be the most serious constitutional crisis in its history. >> reporter: nixon ordered richardson to fire cox, and richardson refuse and resigned. his can deputy also refused and also resigned. solicitor general robert bork was made acting attorney general and he fired cox. >> the president's motive was to solely remove the confrontat

but richard nixon famously, one night, if you remember, left the white house and went out and talkedt the vietnam war. and he talked to them in a very civil, courteous way and he claimed afterwards that it had changed his mind. that's when he decided to withdraw from vietnam. can you see trump doing that? that is the closest in modern american history to the pattern that trump is setting. he is talking like something out of a mid—20th century horror story. totally coming from a different material point of view... he spoke at one point about migrants 'infesting' communities in america. likening them to vermin. does he know nothing about 20th—century history? nothing! the president on cnn said the other day that words matter. if you are the most powerful man on earth saying things like that, it will have an effect. james clapper, one person who received one of the devices, we don't know what the motive was so we should leave it for the investigation, he said that he doesn't think there is automatically a link but he did say that, "i do think that donald trump bears some responsibility

he did not see a good side to richard nixon. which does not mean he attacked him blindly. it meant that he had real issues with some of the things, whether it be corruption or wiretapping, more things that he disliked. he felt it was his job as a cartoonist to express his opinion and to share it with others. that is the basic role of the editorial cartoon is to express an opinion and persuade people to your point of view. and a good cartoonist does more than just illustrate the news. he gets his point across, or she gets her point across. so here we have nixon throwing some tapes to an investigator, who is represented by a hound dog, a bloodhound, trying to throw a few reels away while still clutching perhaps the most important evidence against him. we can see the bones of some of his indicted conspirators left behind by the bloodhound. when it came to jimmy carter, herblock saw him as a pretty ineffectual leader. a particular cartoon, "who is in charge here?", shows carter banging on his presidential desk while refusing to take a leadership role. that's probably the most

everyone was saying he would be the new vice president and low and behold, richard nixon pivots to this general form frommichigan. and it rocked our world . >> so all of a sudden, we going to deafen the book about this about how this happened and the phone call and everything and that is just overwhelmed because she didn't expect this and thenin december 1974, , am i getting my years right? 73. he is confirmed as vice president. and he plants a big kiss on betty right afterwards and you can see the speaker of the house looking like well. but there's so many pictures of jerry and betty in these wonderful embraces and they really had a wonderful love story but when this happened, your dad apparently said your mother don't worry betty, vice president don't do anything anyway. >> unless the president was there. >> so where were you when you found out your dad was going to become president? >> so this was in august of 74. >> galen i, my wife had just married july 5. a month earlier. now, the back story on that was wewere supposed to be married in august . and it was something everyone's fami

but there was an aid of richard nixon's who is in the room. pressley indicated that he thought the beatles had been a real force for anti-americans. and he said that they were promoting an anti-american team. he also in a very emotional manner said he was "on your side." also he talked about the fact that he wanted to restore the respect for the flag which he thought was being lost in america. he then went on a bit of a ramble talking about communist brainwashing and a drug culture. in a spontaneous gesture, he put his arm around the president and hugged him. >> hugging richard nixon, he's kind of a -- physically speaking, president nixon was an awkward person. elvis is new notoriously or was notoriously shy. i always thought that maybe was because elvis wanted to be an antidrug fighter. he wanted to campaign and get the scourge of drugs away from american popular culture and so forth. but i think that presidents can be reality performers in the way that it goes beyond "celebrity apprentice." i think the donald trump loved at the show that con

[laughter] >> in 1958 richard nixon is elected and overwhelmingly again in 1972. history intervenes when vice president agnew relying resigned and nixon has to nominate a vice president. now, you knew your dad was on the shortlist and there was a list of about ten names that were circling around and you were away at college at this point. >> in graduate school. >> okay. did you really think your father would be named as vice president? >> not at all. not on the -- i did not think it was going to happen. my mother did not either. she was not feeling like that was in the future there. if you remember back then the name that was being seconded john conley from texas. everyone said he be the new vice president and low and behold, richard nixon pivots and chooses gerald ford from michigan. it rocked our world, i'll tell you that. >> so yes, all of a sudden we go into depth in the book about how this all happened in the phone call and everything and that he is overwhelmed because she really did not expect this and then in december of 1974, am i getting my ears right, 73

richard nixon tried it, did not succeed at it. he succeeded at it. imagine, in the same week that the world is watching what the saudis are doing in regard to the murder of a journalist, he is praising, at a rally in montana, a congressional candidate for body slamming a reporter. and at the same time reverting once again to the whole notion of the press as the enemy of the people with all of its echos of totalitarianism, of terror, of tyrants. look, he knows what he's doing. it's succeeding. and one of the reasons it's succeeding is he's delivered on what he said. %-p place up. >> yep. >> he's shaken it up, but he has shaken it up with untruth. >> but that's what people liked about him. people have said misdiagnosed early on, some people see him as an antidote. no, they didn't, they saw him as a virus. something to inject into the corpus of politics and let him go in there and make them sick. beat them at their own game. and they take some pleasure out of it. what i don't get, daniel, and i do not envy your task, he lies when he doesn't need to. he

presidential nominee and vice president hubert humphrey was polling well behind republican nominee richard nixon. independent third-party candidate george wallace was drawing large crowds to rallies. anti-vietnam war and civil rights activists were protesting in the streets. next on "reel america," hubert humphrey outlines his accomplishments, qualifications, and campaign strategy and -- in remarks at the democratic national convention in chicago. >> we now know that governor dewey will carry new york state by at least 50,000 votes. and that he will be the next president of the united states. [applause] ♪ >> on election night 1948, herbert brownell and a legion of newsmen continued to cite public opinion of polls that said thomas e. dewey would be the next president of the united states. only harry truman and the american people disagreed. they refused to accept the standstill philosophy of tom dewey or the southern mandates of third-party candidate strom thurmond. 1968 is beginning to look like 1948 all over again. hubert humphrey has stepped in to harry truman's boots, while dick nixon and geo

[applause] announcer: tonight from atlanta,

of course came when he and his colleagues, four of whom, including him, had been appointed by richard nixon. issued a ruling unanimous -- unanimously against the president's interest. in the words of justice stevens, "berger's opinion for the court in the united states versus nixon may way have done more in the confidence in the work of judges, the confidence that is the backbone of the rule of law, than any other decision in the history of the supreme court." some would say that the chief justices believe in institutions and even his deep devotions to the constitution were naove. indeed, even as the chief began his work on the bicentennial, the great justice marshall warned against euphoria loathing against the sins. the chief, who is quiet, but very effective work, itself was documented by myself last year. he understood this argument, but he felt, nonetheless, that the high principles contained in our constitution and laws deserve celebration. more than that, they required it. the chief knew that oral power is fragile and must be nurtured. he would be alarmed to know that there's been an

board and staff of the richard nixon foundation. i would also like to add my olivia and the curator with the national archives here. and also, cheryl, the secretary. hardly a title that really captures all that she does. it really is wonderful because it was -- the seed of all this came about through, i believe the really great personal relationship between cheryl and olivia, personal and professional. it was wrong that a great enthusiasm was worked up. and so when cheryl first called me about this and said it would be about first ladies' fashion and so forth, i told her i was not interested because i wasn't really interested or did not have a knowledge of fashion, per se. and i say that with all great, the enormous respect to that industry. but it is sort of like building an automobile or a house. it is a whole world unto itself. the structure, the art of it, the manufacturing, the marketing. but i began to think while we were speaking on the phone that i so often received phone calls from the media about first ladies' clothing, an

it was the america of richard nixon where you had the president attacking the justice department. the president who fired his special prosecutor. a who was lying to the country. the president who turned out to be a creek. i think titter not too much, folks. we made it through it. the message is, when we are involved, when we hold politicians accountable, when we are engaged and living out our democracy, then we can make things change. right now, more than anything else, we need to restore our democracy in our own country and get rid of the big money in end then politics, gerrymandering that robs americans of the opportunity to elect people. people know the system is sick. they see washington is rigged. under trump, who promised to drain the trot -- lock, he has broken it even more. times,it in the new york the tricks that are played. i used to ask when i was wanted for president, how many of you have your own page in the textbook? how many of you have your own page? i know you don't. interviewer: does everybody? mr. kerry: thousands of pages with special provisions for people who

richard nixon the other side. [applause] >> the other day when i was in salt lake city i mentioned the fact that general isenhour once said when he was talking about playings and fact they were so different, there was only one thing he thought most successful politicians had in common, and that was the ility to marry above themselves. and both governor romney and i both did that. and then my two daughters, tri cia and julie. [applause] >> they have just arrived here from a campaign appearance in buffalo. they are getting their share, too, their baptism in fire to an extent. they had a little heckling. now we want to go directly to the questions because i know we have a panel here that will have a number of questions, and we have a foul hour for those questions. >> mr. nixon, you have been saying in this campaign that under your government, you wouldn't pour billions of dollars into programs that aren't working. i wanted you to be more specific and tettleton us which programs you would repeal? >> when i was speakin

what are the similarities between donald trump and richard nixon?plished politician. >> yes, he was. and he did a lot-- >> stephen: and a veteran of the pacific war. he had many accomplishments to be proud of. >> yes. and did a lot of good things as president, you know, started the environmental protection agency, something that people might not know or remember. >> stephen: lowered the voting age. >> yes, lowered the voting age. >> stephen: could never be nominated as a republican, maybe not even as a democrat at this point. >> you are probably right about that, but, you know, he had a real obsession with trying to go after his opponents and trying to, you know, really consolidate his power. he had people around him in the white house who enabled that and he got himself into real trouble. and i don't think we can make a comparison yet because there was a very thorough investigation of president nixon at the time that i was part of, and it drew conclusions so that even republican members in the congress understood that they had to take action, and w

the richard nixon foundation hosted this hour-long event. >>

it's hard to figure out which piece of insanity to focus on, the fact that richard nixon and abrahamn this scenario are friends and the fact that donald trump weighs less than 200 pounds in this painting but suffice it to say it's not very realistic. you know what would be more realistic. this painting makes more sense than the other one.
