when a lot of the press coverage was about how richard nixon could not possibly get the settlement terms that he had demanded from the north vietnamese. and nixon was able to surprise his critics by getting exactly those terms. unfortunately, those terms were not peace with honor as nixon and his i want to say accomilous, but there's a different word, magician's assistant, henry kissinger, were able -- were presenting to the public. nixon and kissinger, we now know from nixon's white house tapes, got a decent interval deal with north vietnam that would keep south vietnam independent for a year or two after nixon withdrew the last american troops and tapes from this time show both nixon and kissinger realized their terms would doom the south, so they really didn't count as peace. nonetheless, right before the '72 election, the north accepted those terms. realizing they would lead eventually to a victory for the communists in vietnam. and kissinger famously went on television and announced that peace is at hand. so i think this picture more than the headlines at the time captured what was

from right before the 1972 presidential election, when a lot of the press coverage was about how richard nixon could not possibly get the settlement terms that he had demanded from the north vietnamese. nixon was able to surprise critics by getting exactly those terms. unfortunately, those terms were not peace with honor, as nixon and his, i want to say accomplice, there's a different word, for magician assistant. we're presenting to the public. nixon and kissinger, we now know from nixon's white house tapes got a decent truffle deal with north vietnam, it would keep south vietnam independent for a year or two after nixon withdrew the last american troops, tapes show mix again and kissinger, it wouldn't count is, piece none the less in the 1972 election they accepted the terms realizing that they would eventually needed for vietnam. kissinger famously went on to television finance the pieces at hand. i think that this picture more than the headlines at the time captured what was going on which was a massive trick. >> in all of these i try to imagine what with the subjects have thought of the d

joseph mccarthy and richard nixon through a smear campaign. what you need to know about this cartoon is it did not run in the washington post. it was a pro-eisenhower paper. they are very adamant about that in his cartoon. they felt mr. bloch's opinion of eisenhower failing to control mccarthy and went too far. we didn't run. it did run in the areas mr. bloch was syndicated, the other newspapers. they knew that a cartoon had appeared elsewhere. the washington post ran every single cartoon that he chose to draw after that. we can see mr. r -- mr. bloch's art style and a very loose drawing style. he's using a simple board. use white out as a way to enhance his image. being guided by president kennedy, he's got budget written in white out. it stands out in his cartoon. kennedy was hard for most cartoonists to draw. he was a handsome looking fellow. even as late as 1962 they had not really found like big ears or big nose or something that stood out to make him look funny. he kind of looks generically handsome in the entirety of hid -- his administ

in richard nixon's campaigns. in six years she saw him go from congressman to senator to vice president of the united states in six years and all of these campaigns, some of them that were very difficult. 1952, of course, running for the vice presidency when the scandal on the finances erupted and how that personally wounded her so much because it was a challenge to their integrity. not so much challenge to policy and to projects but to their integrity. this famously shy person or quiet person, she didn't have to be the loudest voice in the r m room, was wounded by that. and you can understand why. >> you know, i was watching again this wonderful tape that was done and really encapsulates everything that she was about. i was watching it and thinking, oh, i wish she could have seen that. then i thought, get a grip. she never would have let you do something like that. never in a million years. she was much too modest to ever, ever think about letting you do something like that. >> well, one thing she has not gotten

[cheering] so that is great to see and i encourage all of you after the event today to walk around the library. of course one of my favorite places for obvious reasons but one of my favorite places in the world and we have just read on a lot of the exhibits in the library, so there is a lot of new stuff to see and if you come back you can visit the archives and do a little research into my grandfat

overnight, richard nixon became something -- richard nixon is a unique vice president in that he had a personal following. because of that speech, there were millions of people, before we ever talked about silent majority, those were the people he was appealing to in 1952. in effect, he took the decision out of ike's hands 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 at the silent majority speech. he was one of the less that's one of the few 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 was erik erical -- erik several -- instant offering 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 self-appointed t

he did not see a good side to it to richard nixon which doesn't mean that he attacked him blindly. it meant he had real issues with some of the things, whether it be corruption or wiretapping or things that he didn't -- that he disliked. and he felt it was his job as a cartoonist to express his opinion. and to share it with others. and that's the basic rule of editorial cartoon is to express an opinion and to 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. and we can see the bones of some of his indicted conspirators left behind by the bloodhound. when it came to jimmy carter, herb block saw him as a pretty ineffectual leader. and in particular, the cartoon who's in charge here showing carter banging on his own presidential desk while refusing to take a leaders

he should win in a 1972 richard nixon landslide. he should. it is not going to happen.r he will in and a majority way, they will not be taken by surprise this time. bloomberg will spend whatever he is going to spend, tech companies, i want to see an animated and engaged and worried conservative base, not a confident conservative base. you can be quietly certain what trump has done but you should be worried because they are working their tails off and i see it every single day and that is the sense of urgency i hope you leave with because a year from today he could not the president. i want you to realize that. it is conceivable, i give it a 50-50 split right now that you could be here gathering and it could be president joe biden. i see a lot of people laughing but it could happen. that is why i operate with a sense of urgency i implore with all of you. i want to get to some questions. i am honored to be here, thanks so much. >> thank you. we have time for a couple questions. the first one from one of our cadets, thank you for your presentation. >> what is your question

[inaudible] >> did everyone hear the question? the question was what happened in watergate the republicans came around and it was actually three republicans who went to richard nixon and said we heard the smoking gun tape, you are done. we do not have enough support and you will be convicted if you go to trial. you will not survive this. it was very cold water who had been the presidential candidate and was the minority leader of the house and of the senate and that was the next day he announced his resignation and going back to rosemary woods, if i could. he did not have the courage to tell his family that he was resigning and he asked her to do it so she is one who told his wife and daughter. >> after he tried to throw her under the bus, i might add. >> yes, yes. that is where we are at. i think the answer is gerrymandered districts and the social media and media environment in general where people can watch fox news and believe a set of information that is based on opinion a

you knew that richard nixon would leave office as soon as he could. particularly if it was foreign affairs, he would do everything he did. office, heen he left would play as much golf as he could. and what people did not pay too much attention to, he also averaged public appearances free of charge. he enjoyed that. but the first week he was he was literally going he was literally going from check to check. >> mount vernon, that was paid for entirely by public money. library. state-funded taxpayer dollars. what is it about george washington today that is all paid for? >> because he's washington. >> we would not be here. certainly, you would not be making the point, his presidency is about restraint. assertiveness, but ultimately about restraints. it's about walking away from power. it is something for which you are a temporary steward. it's likely to generate the kind that mount vernon has earned over the years. >> because of the mount vernon ladies association. >> we have to give them credit for all they've done. seen this evolve over the last couple

in 1960, that is the year where richard nixon runs against john f. kennedy and john f. kennedy wins. two years later, nixon decides here in california, he is going to seek the governorship of california. he runs against pat brown, the father of jerry brown. pat brown will win, nixon will lose. during the campaign, reagan is nixon's california cochair and ronald reagan becomes a republican at that time. dwight eisenhower spends his winters in california at palm desert, but he spends the summers in gettysburg, pennsylvania. if you ever visit gettysburg national battlefield please , visit the eisenhower home there. it's on adjacent land. eisenhower decides the democratic party has much better marketing efforts than the republican party and hosts a symposium at his gettysburg farm with gop leaders to try to see, how can the republican party better market itself, the result of that has never been known to history before. i probably say until i found it. that is this record called mr. lincoln's party today. its of recording. that is the technology of the era. here is the back

thought about implementing it but no communist richard nixon of course he thought of a committee and it seems to me to be eminently common sense to start saying now has a certain amount of money that you can have that will to a certain extent have all the benefits folded into it and it gives people the right to talk about freedom of choice the right to talk about individual liberty as if the sacrosanct thing well what could be more individual here's your money do with it what you will bill and when it's gone it's gone you can do what you want with it right now but it is a safety net to stop people starving will encourage entrepreneurial isn't that's something you're interested in i think it's eminently sent i have yet to see any properly sensible critique of it so i think it's an idea whose time is coming soon we're going to thank you and that's of the show will be back on wednesday the other verse 3 of the u.s. switching sides in support of margaret thatcher you know war for the most readers for connivance where british soldier is believed 1st confirm the writ of virus goes over

believe it or not a person that gave it something more was richard nixon called the philadelphia plan. i'm sorry george schultz was behind is the secretary of labor there was millions of dollars in the philadelphia area and if you have been down to philadelphia there are several museums, the internal transportation system what they told the contractors and the unions was if you want to get the money and be a federal contractor, you will have to hire minorities. the contractor said fine. how many? because employers like to work by the numbers so give us a number. we will do it. the problem was they all had contracts with the labor union who said you cannot do that. the labor department insisted from the court case the federal district judge that the record of the labor unions was so terrible that something like this was needed. the supreme court refused to take the case. this is where we began to get hard affirmative-action by the numbers that we take this many or that many. one of the big problems is universities. most of you will understand what the eeoc that universities are not lik

but the fight that you all have with onjawor -- leon jaworski about whether to indict richard nixon. >> we and, again, we were 30 years old, and we were highly moral, driven by justice is and truth. and we felt if, number one, the evidence was overwhelming of the president's culpability and that it was upping fair to prosecute all the people who did his bidding. believe me, they acted on their own. they were perfectly willing accomplices, but that it would be hard for a jury to convict them if the chief was not indicted with them. and he had to be an unindicted co-conspirator because so much of the evidence was his conversations. in order for that to be admissible in court, he had to be a co-conspirator. so so we were allowed to name him an unindicted cospoon conspirator. he was not named in the indictment. it was sort of like trump being named individual number one. he's not named, but you no who it is. it was locked up in the safe and wasn't revealed until the supreme court arguments where we had to say as one ofs reasons we needed the tapes was because he was an unindicted cospear

decades intervening it was better for the country. >> guest: >> host: one concern is pardoning richard nixon innocence made him look above the law. if we can do one of the surreal tv shows where they have done the alternative of history, what if nixon had not been pardoned, what if he had been charged with a crime like some of his cabinet officers were and he was made to suffer the consequences? >> guest: with alternative history we can speculate. might have been fine and good and helps the country underscore the principles, the opposing party, or other kinds of conduct that he and his compatriots were charged with but at the same time especially when you are talking about a whole society or large group there is the risk of creating cycles of vengeance and revenge. and say this is done. we have to period on that. we lost the presidency and now we are moving forward. he didn't want to spend the whole time still fighting over what nixon had done when he had known or hadn't known, i can see the value of that. the same way after the transition to democracy, the apartheid, truth and reconciliatio
