the last team left town and 71, and that is a segway of richard nixon. it is a huge baseball fan, and he immediately had a meeting with the mayor, walter washington. i found this on a recorded tape, and he thought he could lure the white sox here. he predicted t by 1976, the other carter one, there would be a bicentennial. he was off by 28 years. >> we were also told that the senators would leave, and there was a -- when they were leaving, and for the 71 season, there was an attempt by a number of locals to get nixon involved in trying to get a team to replace the senators. but apparently, the white house, according to some information we had, the white house refused to get involved. publicly, th said it is a shame in a tragedy that they wereng involved, but behind the scenes, he was trying to doomething. i don't think it was much beyond that meeting with the mayor of washington. >> do you consider nixon the greatest baseball fan among u.s. presidents? >> definitely. >> he probably has some competition from woodrow wilson. wilson went out to games after

from richard nixon to jerry fort, the kind of communication that report murdaugh is proposing here. richard nixon seemed to believe that it was possibly illegal for him to request -- from jerry forte, the vice president, in order to then hand over the presidency to him by resigning. is what rupert murdoch was advocating there, that trump make a deal with mike pence for -- resigned, pence becomes president, gives him a pardon, could that be illegal deal report murdaugh was proposing? >> so, i have a factual and, legal answer for you. i think the factual part is important to note there is this is just a week after january 6th and you have the head of fulton's realizing that donald trump has criminal exposure for what just happened. this, it didn't take the january six committee to do that, but he knew exactly what was going on. he -- because he thinks there is no potential liability in that by the way, -- this is just relating to what happened six days before that. so that is sort of a important factual point. just as an aside, this is, this is the new station, news in square quotes t

and about connections with the mafia in vietnam, we fought a very unfair war it turned out that richard nixond to the american people add oil to the fire, he is considered the last fragment of that very high-quality journalism. i created problems for them almost every day , i brought the so-called dead porches to the editorial office, another story from which the government would be blown up.

richard nixon can be heard talking about the watergate break in, when were those devices placed in theoval office? approximately the summer of 1970. nixon invoked executive privilege and refused to give up the tapes to the special prosecutor until the supreme court forced him to. we're not playing nixon knew he was going to be indicted if he stayed in the white house, the wolves were barking at his den. in fact, this document released in 2018 by the national archives is the grand jury's draft indictment dated february 1st 1974. it shows they plan to charge nixon was several crimes, including obstruction of justice. ultimately nixon was named as an unindicted co conspirator, and after the house judiciary committee passed three articles of impeachment against nixon resigned in disgrace. the full house never voted on the articles of impeachment. i shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. his successor , president gerald ford, pardoned him and nixon was never indicted. more than 20. years later, another president was staring down. an indictment did not have sexual relations

in this episode, we'll hear from two presidents lyndon johnson and richard nixon. lbj was president of the united states fro19 to 1969, and during those turbulent years, he often invoked america's better angels in speeches. and he also talked about his vision of a great society. and he went to the statue of liberty to sign an immigration bill. after those, we'll hear from richard nixon, 1969. richard nixonald about the great silent majority. and in 1974, he resigned from office beginning now. here's lyndon johnson. president hatcher. governor romney. senators mcnamara and hart. congressman meader and stabler. and other members of the pine michigan delegation. members of the graduating class. my fellow americans, it is a great pleasure to be here today. this universe today has been coeducational. since 1870, but i do not believe it was on the basis of your accomplishments that a detroit high school girl said, and i quote, in choosing a college, you first have to decide whether you want a coeducational school or an educational school. well, we can find both here at m

had that not already made up its mind about richard nixon. this case involving trump is a lot easier. because the details are not known to most americans. they may know a little bit about it, but the actual details of apparently a 2030 count indictment or not known, so it'll be a lot easier to find a fare. um, a jury of his peers. um and so that particular issue does not is not, uh, there for alvin bragg. the way it was for leon dworsky and arguably would have been for robert ray if he had sought to indict bill clinton. tim we've heard from various legal experts well respected who? obviously as you noted, this is still a sealed indictment. we don't know what the details but the experts that have connected the dots of speculated that this case has some weaknesses and it it's not exactly a slam dunk. so given that this is a very low level felony if trump gets convicted on it if he goes to trial to begin with and some of the other major things he could be facing the investigation into classified documents. his involvement in january 6th what's g

it's a different direction from what ford said when he pardoned richard nixon.i love that you pointed out getting into this a first and not. this isn't the only way trump is a first in the legal realm. he's also the first to survive. as you said two impeachments to be acquitted both times by the senate. so there's just no this is uncharted legal territory, and this is a guy who has withstood so much legally. it's fascinating. and if you had told me 78 years ago, could a former president running again? survive and indictment indictment about relationship with adult film star the answer would have been no. that would be the end of the candidacy. but yet here we are not just saying he could survive as he did the impeachments, but he might thrive from it, which tells you a lot about him. and about how our political system has changed since 1974 when the weight of something like this would have been too much for a candidate or former president to bear, and i think the important thing also to note here is this isn't impeachment. this isn't political. he can't call up

in this episode, we'll hear from two presidents lyndon johnson and richard nixon. lbj was

>> it didn't work very well for richard nixon.ng efforts failed. i want to show you on the serious legal side what we did here. you mentioned the georgia case. this is the fist time one of trump's georgia lawyers came on msnbc and made his defense. this was last night. i have several pieces. wanted to get your legal analysis. let's take a look. >> we became public when we heard from the foreperson. she kind of gave us a lens into what we were suspicious of, which is just a kind of a clown show in there. >> was it, "a," illegal, and "b," wrong,?r for him to try to steal the georgia results after the state had beenpç0k+y dually certified. >> ourbuuw client6g;$xshpaÑ/sé- law. >> do you acknowledge trump lost georgia? >> i am not going to start getting into political statements. >> but do you acknowledge that donald trump sflos. >> that's what i stay focused on. >> do you acknowledge donald trump lost the georgia election? that's an easy one. do you acknowledge that, drew? >> no. no. >> nick? >> first of all, the idea that there was a

this coincided with the hotel gate scandal when richard nixon was revealed to have lied to the americanand there were many lies about the war, the so-called pentagon documents appeared, published by daniel erdergog in 1971 and revealing how many americans are lying. nikolai mikhailovich, as a specialist in the field of intelligence and special services, has a question for you. how similar hershi snowden is and how sincere the cia agent is in his message. what do you think, cia agent is such a note agent to cheese? i very often hear his comments, and you know me, he was not convinced. unfortunately. by god, the snowdens had their own difficulties, they installed their own reservations. snowden still doesn't perceive us the way we would, like how. i think i would, hersh. for me. you know, the pinnacle of everything that i could hear in recent years in american journalism, at least, i found this. sorry hersh who said and laid out the truth in his 85 you know, this was not a thing. understand it. no, they will kill him, because if i am convinced that we already know approximately. herdsha's

and maybe also with the pardon of gerald ford, she allowed right richard nixon to go scot-free back to his oceanside villains california, and say for the next 20 years to his death. i was railroaded, i should've never been driven out of office. if you had at least been fingerprinted, or perhaps put in jail the end of a trial that he set out, the foods he could really get what you, we mean that wouldn't have been true. also, if nixon had had to submit to a trial and go to jail, maybe donald trump for those four years he was president, would be saying to them, i can go back to my oceanside vigilant in palm beach that maybe it's gonna be rikers island. >> speaking of nixon, jennifer, republican congressman lawrence hogan was the first republican to call for richard nixon's impeachment. now his son, now former governor larry hogan of maryland, it's fighting for the soul of the republican party, almost five decades later. what do you make of this decision not to run? >> i think he has a principled man, he, does i think, take a lesson from his father's handbook, i think you made an informed

talk more about that >> let's take a look at donald trump who knew richard nixon very well, and fouledove into trump tower, and nixon said he would go in an take a look. he flew him down to texas, and in the light and the 80, t speak together that point is that for someone like trump, to the extent he knows anything about history a all, the lesson he would'v taken away from what richard nixon did in watergate was yes nixon was in jeopardy of being indicted and going to prison but gerald ford had pardon him almost immediately, and nixo spent years of his seaside manchin near the pacific trump may have taken from that the worst that could happen to me, no matter what i do as president, it's been like nixo with forward i will be able to spend that time by my seaside mansion and -- in palm beach. if gerald ford, at the ver least, not pardoned nixon on month after nixon resigned, at least if he had waited for nixon to be fingerprinted an actually indicted, maybe a least part of the trial to g on, that would have been the message to later presidents. you break the law, you are going to suffe

i mean, if you compare this to watergate, don't forget, richard nixon was about to be impeached. he was impeached. he would have been removed by the senate. we basically held back. we didn't indict because of that. we basically deferred to the congress on impeachment process. but here, i think what's going to happen is going to be much more explosive politically. it's going to completely change the game because once trump is out -- been indicted, i don't care what he says about still running for president. being under an indictment is not a positive resume builder. and you're going to find that other people who have been holding back, most notably vice president pence and mr. pompeo and others, are suddenly going to jump into the race because they're going to feel a lot more confident that they have a chance. because i think at that point, what u.s. congressmen are going to want to run for re-election in 2024 with the head of the ticket under indictment? i mean, it's not only unprecedented, but politically it's going to be disastrous for the rest of the ticket right down to dogca

the real activists of the republican party, they loved spiro agnew even more than they loved richard nixon. so while agnew, their guy, was embattled by this reported federal investigation he goes up there to give a speech, and what he told them in that speech start off blunt but kind of normal. he said i am innocent of the charges against me. high then told them -- this was slightly more surprising -- he told the crowd he was going to use the courts himself to turn the tables and investigate the justice department for investigating him. oh, you're going to investigate me, well i'm going to investigate you right back. you're the real scandal, you're the real scoundrels. that got a big round of cheers superspiro agnew, then the thing that got the republican women in that room up on their chairs standing, applauding, and screaming for him, the apex of his speech was when he said because the whole process was so corrupt, because the whole thing was such a witch hunt against him, because they were only coming after him because he was a big deal and he was-curve and all the liberals out there an

i mean, i'm thinking of richard nixon's resignation which warded that off. there could have been additional charges and it was a moot point because gerald ford had pardoned him. in the case of bill clinton, i think he had settled with the office and agreed to five years be banished as a lawyer, pay a $25,000 fine, that was the end of it. this is a whole different beast, i grant you. how do you think this plays out in that respect? >> well, i think from what i understand, i'm not licensed in new york, but from everything i've read and understand, this is the kind of case that even if you went to trial and you were convicted, you would normally expect probationary sentence, but i really don't think it's going to get to trial i think that it's legally so weak that even in new york state , it's going to ultimately be thrown out. neil: you know, this is a dumb question but you've been very patient dealing with them. i wonder about those prosecutors pursuing these other cases, whether it's the classified documents one, what the president did to trigger the january

you think now that it i■ happ happening,s this is not a novel event, if we had done this with richard nixon, he wasn't held accountable, not to the standard donald trump is beingt(■1 held accountable to today i think this is very important establishing a principle, a line in the sand that if you commit a crime you can't shoot somebody and commit aç■ crime and not de with thee■ consequences. i think that is an extremely important principle that we're putting in effect with donald trump who has a whole series of crimes that are ultimately going to be brought to justice >> yeah. fk" maya >> yes, i did. i thought this day would come, and i just want to say to begin with, ari, is -- you and i and joyce and nick, we have beeni■ watching this unfold for years now together and i just want to underscore nick's point this should not be theo■ first president to be indicted, butu i is important ande■w■ sobering tt we have somebody who has5 highest office of this country who has now been indicted for his5a■ behavior, his acts in orr to5■■■a■ win thatqoffice but wh faces more shoes that will drop, i beli

that is a fact so well established across our history that richard nixon's path to becoming a formereaving the white house, was widely seen as a big deal because that meant he would obviously be subject to possible indictment after leaving office. watergate investigators even wrote a road map which might have guided potential you future charges when he left office. >> if mr. nixon leaves office, will he face criminal prosecution? >> the special prosecutor is in a very unusual position, and he would have to make that decision. >> a third option is for the incoming plt ford to pardon the outgoing president. >> mr. ford granted mr. nixon a full, free pardon for any offenses he might have committed while in office. >> that proved hugely controversial. but the fact is for tonight, richard nixon wanted that pardon precisely because otherwise he could be indicted. the jurors who served in the watergate grand jury room we learned later as history came out, they raised their hand, all of them preferring an indictment of nixon them goes beyond america. i want to walk through this with you toni

would be harmful for the country it would somehow be harmful fo the country if we ha prosecuted richard nixonople talk about it as if prosecuting donald trump risks breaking the country that's a horrible precedent. that we will never be able t walk back to it. actually, donald trump's own has already broken much of the presidency, broken much of the architecture around governance in this country, we are just i the throes of trying to piec that back together, and try to figure out how we can go forward from there he is a threat to do it again. the problem is not prosecuting donald trump the problem is choosing not to prosecute donald trump because what it says is one ma can present enough of a threat that he is not subject to th law. and once you have said that, once you establish that fact what does the rule of law mean at all it is meaningless, it is hollow, it is now exactly what peopl think that it is, which is it's meant to control. for people and rich people and powerful people can have their way. that is not the signal that we want to send to america. >> charles blow, thank you ver much

she was a member of the house judiciary committee that voted on impeaching richard nixon. first woman district attorney in the state of new york and authored several books including "the case for impeaching trump." liz, you and i had the opportunity to talk on the weekend about this you felt it was sort of a necessary process to -- to get donald trump to start facing accountability your thoughts this morning >> well, of course no one likes to see a former president indicted, but it's also a moment we can reflect on the fact what's involved is simply the rule of law. that everyone is held accountable no matter how high his or her station is or how low. and we have a former president, he's not exempt from accountability because of his status and this procedure will go forward. if there are issues with the due process, the courts in new york state will review them, and ultimately the supreme court has the authority to review the proceedings here so donald trump's rights are protected, as they should be every defendant's right is protected. >> he remains innocent unless proven

richard nixon and the seeds that he planted after, i like to say he got a time out. right? nixon had to leave the room. everybody get the joke i'm trying to make. nixon had to leave the room, but after nixon had to leave the room, the seeds were planted in a very charismatic governor of california campaigning for the presidency in 1980. really courted evangelical christians, such to the point that the sitting president, jimmy carter, who at that time and still is an evangelical christian there was a that we turned our back on you jimmy. behind jerry falwell, the pride of virginia. can i call him that man now? anyway, behind jerry falwell, a native virginian, i believe. certainly someone who led a ministry here in virginia and a deliberate attempt to bring evangelical christian into politics surrounding and supporting the 1980 presidential candidate of the republican party. reagan. ronald reagan made this is cited in the book ronald reagan made famous quote in the 1980 presidential election, you can endorse me, but i certainly endorse you. right. that created a that lasted f

no overt advocate of richard nixon. so they were very smooth hearings that weren't strongly contested. and it seemed like everybody was it was piling on nixon. it's a biased point of view, of course, to make the cover up itself collapsed. i'm on the bottom row now. the slide, the cover up collapsed on sentencing day. much. 23rd from the burglary convictions. james mccord wrote a letter to judge sirica and said there's been a cover up. people have perjured themselves. you don't know what's been going on in. it caused quite a hullabaloo people started who who had guilty knowledge started seeking the prosecutors and revealing what been going on. nixon acted on april 30th, fired his two top aides and john dean and appointed new attorney general with the permission to establish a special prosecutor who was appointed may 25th. now as you can see from the dates we jump about a year here, but we're doing that because in july of 1973, alex butterfield revealed there had been a taping system in the oval office and lots and lots of

with warm regards, richard nixon. that letter is from a new book, from donald trump, coming out next month. and it is titled, letters to trump. it includes correspondence with celebrities and dignitaries and former presidents, including, apparently, richard nixon. today, trump called nixon, a very interesting guy, and informed reporters that nixon's biggest regret was resigning amidst the watergate scandal. the twice impeached trump went on to say that, unlike nixon, he does have public support and, if it were him, trump would not have resigned as nixon did. now it is quite fitting for president trump to be focused on president nixon today, endorsing that he would not have resigned during watergate, because trump now finds himself under federal investigation, or rather federal investigations, plural. special counsel jack smith is overseeing two sprawling criminal inquiries into the former president regarding events surrounding january 6th and classified documents that trump kept hidden at mar-a-lago. yesterday, a brig

that is something that we have not done richard nixon, after he copped a pardon in 1974 spent the nexing interviewer and all sorts of people i wa railroaded, i should not hav been forced to resign as president. i didn't do anything different from any other president we cannot have this and expect to have equal justice in thi country. >> i'm going to speak to our friend john allen in just moment, but he wrote something that really caught my ey tonight, where he writes at th heart of trump's indictment, a unprecedented test of american ideals does that sound about right to you? >> it does to me because whether you like donald trum politically or not, these ar serious accusations. most people who have bee accused of some of the thing that we think he might b getting indicted for, and this is 34 counts, he might b indicted for all sorts o things that we are not thinkin of plus, the insurrection tha almost brought down ou democracy. plus lying about documents tha he took to his mansion and the refused to give up any of us would not survive an of these things. if he had gone through all o t
