did richard nixon predict the election of donald trump? look at this letter he wrote in 1987. dear donald, i did not see the program but mrs. nixon told me you are great on the show. she is an expert on politics and predicts whenever you decide to run for office you'll be a winner. he told people he planned to hang it in the oval office. do you think this letter is the only vestigae of nixon that lea lives on in the trump white house. >> no, i think the message of nixon is dividing the country and the social issues that he learned from roger ales and began to exploit in the southern strategy of dividing this country. >> that lingers on? >> that lingers on with great force. to our dismay as a country. >> i also want to read you something that trump wrote about or somebody wrote about for trump in a book that trump published about nixon saying eve seen real killers in my line of work but he makes them look like babies. when you think about how far he's come and the things he's endured he's even more amazing. >> who is that from? >> donald tr

richard nixon. >> i announce tonight my intention to seek the governorship of the state of california. >> mrs. nixon said, well, i think it's a terrible mistake for you to run. we've just been through a campaign. we're just getting back on our feet, but if you decide to do it, said i'll be there with you. >> in this campaign, it's generally been stated that if you don't win, you have no future. i would agree with that objective critique, but on the other hand, i don't expect to lose. i expect to win. >> the last chance of richard nixon was to unseat pat brown as governor of his home state in california. the last chance failed. the next day his press chief told the waiting press nixon would not appear or speak, but suddenly, nixon appeared, tired, making an effort to be genial but bitterness forced its way out. >> people say it's going to come down having ran for president, almost made it to run for governor, the answer is proud i'm to have run for governor. i would like to have won. i believe govern

so, too, does richard nixon's determination to win. this man refused -- he was never a quitter. >> like, third time's the charm or what was it that made him think he could have victory after having those losses? >> he never gave up, actually. he even thought about running in '64 and you will see tonight, he goes on "the jack parr show" and he tries really hard to show us softer, kinder, richard nixon. and you can decide for yourself if he shows it, but he actually thought about '64 and then in '66, he doesn't run in '64, but in '66 he helps a lot of republican candidates in the midterm elections and a number of them win and they owe him, so in '68, he is actually the front-runner and wins the nomination. then comes the election and the election is awfully tough and awfully close, and our show

kennedy about the cia's plan, and now kennedy was claiming this as his own idea when, in fact, he, richard nixon, had been pushing for this operation for months. but nixon couldn't say that because it was a culvert operation so he just had to shut up and let kennedy pretend the whole thing was his idea. that's probably what he should have done but that's not what nixon did. instead, in the fourth debate he lashed out at kennedy's statement denouncing him as irresponsible and foolish. he gave a long thoughtful argument as to why a culvert military operation against the castro regime was a terrible idea, dangerously irresponsible as he said in the debate. nixon later explained that this was very painful but that it was his "uncomfortable and ironic duty," and then he added, from that point on i had the wisdom and weariness of someone who had been burned by the kennedys. i vowed i would never again enter into an election at a disadvantage by being vulnerable to them or anyone on the level of political tactics. it's a lesson that nixon learned well. a lesson that led him straight to watergate. that'

and i'd like to point, you know, to the example of african-americans who see this and who see richard nixon resigning and see his presidency for good or for bad as an example of the ways in which privilege and power continue to be corrupted and abused, and i think that's something important to look for in the present. >> it's also -- liz, it's fascinating, the breakdown in the institutions, the breakdown in trust in institutions. i don't know if there is a hopeful aspect to it, that that came back somewhat, i guess, after nixon, and obviously it's being broken down again or did it never come back? >> the trust in government really never came back. a couple of moments after 9/11, there was a lot of trust in government, but, in fact, what happens after nixon is the trust in government drops dramatically and it also bifurcates.

what the president did today was an article of impeachment against richard nixon. >> exactly. he did it today in a context where the national security is at stake. that is nixon -- bad asnism won was with cash and the plumber esunit he wasn't inviting a who is fill foreign power to keep invading our country and our sovereignty. he was not engaging in treacherous betrayal of the american republic. he was being a scoff law. being a crook, but now we've got somebody who is fundamentally engaged in treasury. nothing could be more serious. i have enough faith in the american people to believe that when they see this live and not just in a kind of dead 428-page thing that i'm sure the president hasn't read but lots of other people who can read haven't read, then i think things will change. but of course, the president is not satisfied with that. he's as you said, he's threatened to go to his supreme court. an amazing idea. >> professor tribe, i am embarrassed to use your brain power for the answer to this question. but let's just pretend that you are visiting an elementary school som

imagine being in the shoes of richard nixon. he had a pretty well earned reputation as a communist petrell ne of the communist busters in america and along comes this democrat from massachusetts suggesting that he, richard nixon, was not quite nuchl.ommunist it was galling. president had somehow managed to as an k nixon anti-communist hawk. probably the best example of this occurred in one of the ixon-kennedy television debates. not the first debate, the one that's most famous but the fourth debate. debate may have been the most important in the campaign. a the very least it offered glimpse into the wonderful strangeness that was richard nixon. kennedy had come out in the the previous day with a statement about cuba. in his statement kennedy the eisenhower administration was being negligent about castro and that find some ought to way to help anti-castro cubans pick up arms against castro. of course, this was exactly what the eisenhower administration do. trying to when nixon saw this in the newspapers he was outraged. c.i.a., h

you were just talking about richard nixon.on's first attorney general as you well know was a guy named john mitchell. >> his campaign manager. >> his campaign manager and close friend. when nixon was in the white house plotting to send burglars into various places and opening people's mail and violating other people's civil liberties, he knew he didn't have to worry about an attorney general who would hear about this and call his investigators or quit and have a press conference and saying this is what your president is doing american people, you should know about this. since the offenses of watergate, we have come to expect that that's the kind of attorney general that we will have. what we've seen with william barr really in the last month from that four-page letter to his parroting donald trump about spying, to this whole display we're about to see tomorrow where this wiet house gets to see this report before we do, and this press conference, barr is going to be out in public telling us what to think. what he's basically te

if say richard nixon had a fox news and had this right wing media echo system, what would have happenedon? >> i think you would have seen a really different conversation around watergate and probably a really different outcome. if president nixon had been able to amplify his arguments about a witch hunt in the media, if he had been able to dissecret tcre investigations, discredit the special counsel, that support would crumble to about 25% of americans by the end of his term probably wouldn't have crumbled and the republican party, the office holders in the house and senate would have been a little more pushed to hold the party line. >> some good for thought for sunday morning. it's some pretty bad, gross food for thought. it's a reality check about where we are in 2019. there's this information loop. do you see any way to break out of it? >> i think it's a really difficult thing to break out as long as there are economic and political incentives to keep it going. that's the real challenge here is that there are people who get a lot of power and a lot of money from the system as it's cu

and then later, richard nixon -- nixon very skillfully used television in the white house. for example, the vietnam demonstrations in washington. richard nixon was one of the last presidents who could assure himself with a phone call to the powers that he would have -- i mean you cannot remember the oval office presidential address was a unifying event. and the only counter to it, -- offering analysis on cbs. today, we don't see many oval office addresses. when we do, before the president finishes his first sentence there 20 many people out there self appointed summarize tweeting their own analysis. >> and free speech. >> is not good for the president. [laughter] much more important. >> what you say about nixon and kennedy? ... but he still had an admiration for nixon. he felt it was a great president into watergate. he never changed his democratic affiliation after going with kennedy but he certainly did have a certain kind of feeling for nixon. i find nixon to be much more interesting than kennedy because nixon was so flawed. your book really spells that out. it comes out

i'm going to go right back to the richard nixon impeachment. e idea that how impeachment confers positive political benefits on a president who is subjected to it, what do you make of that argument. >> well, i just want to go back to the nixon impeachment because people go to the clinton impeachment and they stop there and they don't remember about nixon. the fact of the matter is that congress was initially very reluctant to move forward with the nixon impeachment. it started with an inquiry. nobody knew what the grounds for impeachment were when we started. it was because the president fired the special prosecutor and the american people said, congress, you got to do nothing. nobody quite knew what to do. they didn't know what the constitution provided. they didn't know what a high crime and misdemeanor was. they didn't know what the case against nixon was. when we started we had to educate ourselves and bring the american people along. this is not a situation where it's all wrapped up like a present with a bow. it's more like a jury trial. it

overnight, richard nixon became something -- richard nixon is a unique vice president in that he had a personal falling. because of that speech, there were millions of people, before he ever talked about silent majority, those were the people he was appealing to in 1952. in effect, he took the decision about staying on the ticket which was pretty shrewd. later, richard nixon -- he very skillfully used to television in the white house. for example, at the time of the vietnam demonstrations in washington as a silent majority speech. he was one of the less presidents who could assure himself with a phone call, the three men in power in new york and he would have 70 million people that night sitting in front. you can all remember, in oval office presidential press was a unifying event. the only counter to it was the analysis on cbs. today, we do not see many oval office addresses. what we do, before the president finishes the first sentence, there are 20 million people out there who are twittering their own instance analysis. brian: does that terrific for free speech? richard: it is not

>> look, every president since richard nixon has released their tax returns.e extent you've heard people call it the richard nixon standard -- >> who was under audit, reminding everyone. >> who was under audit. now look, congress here is seeking to enforce a norm. and the basic norm is presidents release their tax returns. and the other thing, getting back to wl -- whether this law is legitimate and go to the supreme court, the sought -- the statute is clear you ought too turn them over. you shall turn them over. so it is a silly hill to die on because they will lose. this law has been used not just on presidents of the united states, but private citizens as well. and it is a bigger question, the sort of bigger sort of civics question is what do we expect of political leaders and the norm is we want to know if someone who is running for president or running the country has anything in their financial background that might indicate bias or conflict or frankly law-breaking based on the investigations going on. and so this is a very odd position for the president

the obstruction of justice in this case is far worse than anything that richard nixon did. the break-in by the russians of the democratic institutions, a foreign adversary. for more significant than the plumbers breaking into the headquarters. yes, i would say in every way this is more significant. the fact that a candidate for president and now the president of the united states would not only stand up and resist russia interference in our election, but welcoming it, goes well beyond anything that richard nixon would do. yes, i think it's far more serious than watergate. >> on obstruction of justice, based on the information in the report, do you believe the president did obstruct justice? >> i do believe that he obstructed justice and did so in many ways, and i think that the mueller report points out how the elements of obstruction are met in several courses of the president's conduct. what bob mueller said, and this is obviously directly contrary to what barr to the country, he felt that he could not indict a sitting president. kellyanne conway points it out as proof of

richard nixon, at the time of the silent majority speech coming goes in -- on to tv in november of 69 and by some polls he moved the numbers 10 or 11 points with one speech. that era is behind us. i guess twitter is taking its place. let me just say, calvin coolidge does pretty well in the polling. he has his fan base. it's not just our caller. coolidge wrote one of the better autobiographies of any president. but what he didn't do, silent he, they called him, what couldn't do was what fdr could do, use radio to go right up to people with the fireside chats, talking to the american people, he was a media maestro on radio, fdr. and eleanor roosevelt, what an myet, the first lady writing day columns and literally voicing her opinions as she traveled around. she eventually becomes called the first lady of the world and after her husband's death rites the united nations declaration of human rights. her name is synonymous with human rights. a team of president and first lady, franklin and eleanor roosevelt are the gold standard of how much they accomplished together. changeshough technolog

i got a funny story from a ceo, don kendall from pepsi-cola, he was a friend of richard nixon. when nixon first came into office, he asked kendall to go to johnson's ranch to talk about some sensitive matter. johnson is working on his grumpilynd he looks up and says, how am i supposed to remember what happened 30 years ago? the only chapters that are any good, i have a little tape machine in my oval office and i used to press a button. verbatim conversation. those chapters are coming out great. you go back and tell your good friend nixon that there is nothing more important than the taping. [laughter] >> and thereby, johnson contributes to the downfall of his good friend, richard nixon. david: are presidential leaders born, or are they trained? doris: i think certain qualities are inborn, perhaps empathy is one of them. one of the most important qualities in a leader is empathy. you have to have natural empathy. lincoln from the time when he was a little kid, when friends would be putting hot coals on turtles to make them wriggle, he would go over and say that's wrong. lyndon j

he could have beaten jack kennedy or richard nixon in 1960. maybe vietnam when you started the collapse of the lyndon johnson with the vietnam war, and then there was gerald ford who had pardoned nixon and nixon did not finish his second term. there was some churning going on. incumbency is a great benefit in modern times, just to have air force one take you around and have that much infrastructure around you. been the firstas nonwhite person is president. all of these white presidents and then barack obama, and then inheriting a great recession which we worked our way out of, started seeing signs of it by the time he ran for reelection. but also the killing of osama bin laden was a big deal. he was outlawed number one. we all wanted to get him. able tos good -- was say, did it on his watch. things that are forgotten outcome of the bailing of general motors, that helps in michigan, in toledo, ohio. the moves he made in his first term ended up helping him get reelected. but he did not have coattails. hillary clinton was his secretary of state b

that's the morning i met the real richard nixon. he responded exactly the opposite the way i thought he would when i thought he would end the cover-up after raising every single problem i could raise in an hour and 50 minutes. he now have a president that's in his 800th day of his presidency, and i've got to say it's very grim. it is not a healthy presidency. and i don't know that we can wait until 2020. this man is learning how it operates and he can do great damage. >> so you're agreeing with conway that this is heading towards impeachment, or it should? >> well, i don't know if it -- that obviously is going to be the congress's decision. it's clear right now that there's no way to remove him from office, or even find him guilty if there's a bill of impeachment that gets through the house. the senate will not do anything. so until a makeup of the senate changes that's not very likely. but the question -- what i think should happen is that the house should commence hearings that will start educating the public for 2020, so they'll

. >> i richard milhous nixon do solemnly swear that i will faithfully execute the office of presidenthe inauguration of richard nixon in 1969 solidified the fact that there was a deep sea change in american politics. we had been living through a lot of acrimony the pvi bobby kennedy killed and martin luther king. mayhem in chicago. and we're hungering for an american moon shot that pulls us all together. >> as we explore the reaches of space, let us order the new worlds together. >> neil, buzz and i were informed we would be attempting the first lunar landing. >> a great honor to be selected for any mission in the apollo program. this one of course in particular. >> the hype was mostly around the astronauts at the time. they were everywhere. >> we thought of astronauts as typically male, typically white men. so you'll notice that there are just simply not a lot of women in the room. >> this is james adams, brought handi wipes for dusting. >> women were expected to stay home, take care of the kids, clean the house. i'm not saying i did that. my name is margaret hamilton. and in 1969 i
