the first debate he pretty much wipes the floor with richard nixon.ks shifty and sweating on these just to accommodating prettily in the first part of this with jack kennedy and i do agree with him and i find he is sincere etc. we have the same goals and kennedy is just hammering away richard nixon and what is he doing over and over again in a saying i am a democrat and this is what the democratic party stands for. we brought you this program and the program then he is a five or 6 million vote advantage with the democrats and he's determined to cash in on that now in the last three debates, nixon really catches up and does very well and so much so, the first debate kennedy the depressed want to lift the debate after the fourth of may come up which are nixon was a fifth debate and he said that we been coming out strong foreign policy issues in cuba and the defense of taiwan and jack kennedy is depressed turn that down. sue hemphill what about the media in general of each candidate have their favorite video, outlets and supporters etc. was a pretty even

well, richard nixon announced his candidacy in february of 1968. here's some scenes from a nixon campaign video just before the new hampshire primary. right before you do it, your friend dave, of course, is referring to nixon. oh. you tell me. this fellow was a good chairman up here. i heard good fellow. way. you really think so? i really think he's a good guy. all right. got to get. well, as a matter of fact, that's what we hear. we got to a lot of people said, well, he's too young to be chairman. and i said, well, we we need to follow that sort of al gore. would you agree? i would have said, yes, sir. are you on his payroll. i'm retired. all right. you were in the service. you were in the first one. what's the big one? right. that's right. what division were you at? the 73rd division here. you got a heavy artillery. oh, you had a big seven. those were the spring of 75. you you you know, we used to have another kind of we trained on the naval guns, right? the coast artillery service in new hampshire. sure, i don't. yeah, yeah, yeah. well, you know.

richard nixon won 49, yes, 49 states with only massachusetts voting no on nixon and no on the vietnam war. richard nixon who lost his 1960 than 1% to john f. kennedy. and won his first term in 1969 by less than 1% was reelected 52 years ago with 61% of the vote. a margin that would be impossible to achieve in today's electorate. the vietnam war ended up lasting longer than richard nixon's second term. 18 months after richard nixon's second inauguration, he resigned from the presidency while impeachment proceedings were underway. we know opponents of donald trump's second term will not be as lucky as the opponents of richard nixon's second term. we already know there is no possibility of impeaching him and removing him no matter what he does. the united states supreme court has said it is okay for donald trump to commit any crimes he might want to commit as president of the united states and republican senators have made it clear there is absolutely nothing donald trump could ever do that would compel them to vote guilty in a senate impeachment trial. but what if donald trump in effect

the vietnam war ended up lasting longer than richard nixon's second term. 18 months after richard nixon's second inauguration, he resigned from the presidency while impeachment proceedings were underway against him in the house of representatives. now, we know opponents of donald trump's second term will not be as lucky as opponents of richard nixon's second term. we already know there is no possibility of impeaching and removing donald trump from office, no matter what he does. united states supreme court has said it is okay for donald trump to commit any crimes you might want to commit, as president of the united states, and republican senators have made it clear there is absolutely nothing donald trump could ever do that would compel them to vote "guilty" in a senate impeachment trial. but, what if donald trump, in effect, resigns the presidency, but keeps the title? what if donald trump just hands over the job to someone else, or to a few people, and does nothing? maybe plays golf, when he has to the strength, which might not be so often as he turns 80 in his second year in office. an

called for president biden to simply pardon him citing the precedent of gerald ford pardoning richard nixon. as you look back now, did the nixon pardon help heal the country or did it just reinforce the notion that presidents are above the law? - it did both. - how? - that's an anglican answer for you. it did both. it ended the watergate drama and it underscored the fact that presidents would not have to face prosecution for their acts. i don't know what i would say about pardoning president trump. i will say that i would be flabbergasted if it happened. - but would pardoning trump heal the nation in any way? - i don't think so, i... perhaps, perhaps, i mean, i... i don't see... i think you would have half the country, as decisive as this victory was, right? still half the country would say this is proving that we are trending toward a monarchical system as opposed to a democratic one. - how so? - well, if you're saying a pardon would suggest that someone is above the law and that all the attempts to hold president trump accountable in these sundry cases, that there was a different standard

a few things that happened since richard nixon was president. and so the public has gotten a little upset, and i think they have set a pox on both your houses. and you can see that even with the success of president trump. really hasn't pulled many more votes than he did in 2016 or 2020. all this talk about a mandate, i'm not so sure about that with both houses being very close, etc. but hopefully, and i mean this sincerely, we can get something done. host: would you support republican efforts to continue the expiring tax provision of the 2017 tax cuts put into place when president elect trump had during his first term? guest: i think that is where the focus is going to be on the ways and means committee. i think we have to have thorough discussions. you may recall back in 2017, there were corporations asking to go to 21%. this discussion has to be renewed. and hopefully engaged in a bipartisan way in the best interest of the american people and the economy. host: on immigration, when you support continuing the wall and other restrictions? guest

and the saturday night massacre, even richard nixon couldn't fire the special prosecutor. his ag asked to do it and he wouldn't and resigned. asked the deputy and he resigned and found somebody at the department of jut is, robert bourque, will be to fire the independent prosecutor actually ruled unlawful later. the career prosecutors, alex, they have robe butt civil servant protection. donald trump can try but we might want to view this as rt of attorney full employment act. leap challenges will be filed in each and every unlawful termination. >> what about the failure of the doj to complete any of trump's cases prior to the 2024 election. where do you think they went wrong from the prosecution? too cautious? conciliatory to trump to avoid appearance from partisanship? and, therefore, it stretched everything out? >> yeah. i'm going to use an often quoted phrase, justice delayed is justice denied. they waited so long to initiate the prosecutions against donald trump, and they have yet to ever charge the hierarchy of the insurrection. the command structure. some of the state

. >> it certainly did, you and bob woodward's amazing reporting years ago on richard nixon's illegalctivity, certainly helped to bring down his presidency. trump appears largely immune to all of this, so why do you think that is, what has changed in our country over the years? >> first of all the nature of the republican party has changed. you've got to remember that the republican party and its leaders were ready to convict richard nixon, in a senate trial, barry goldwater, the former nominee, led a delegation of republican senators and congressmen, to the oval office, to tell richard nixon he must resign or they would see that he would be convicted in the senate of the united states. you saw with mitch mcconnell, he did the exact opposite, and indeed, there was reason and a strong case against the president of the united states, really, the first seditious president of the united states, as woodward and i wrote in the 50th anniversary edition of all the presidents men and yet here, this formally seditious president of the united states has now been elected with this amazing coaliti

and the strongest republicans, richard nixon and ronald reagan were in their presidential reelectionns, couldn't come close to ever winning the house of representatives for the republicans. tonight, donald trump is already chipping away at whatever the republican count may end up being in the house of representatives by choosing two newly elected republican members of the house to serve in his administration, the trumpet basket or to the united nations will be a least a phonic -- elise's to phonic and she had much more experience when donald trump chose her for his ambassador to the u.n. and she has called putin a war criminal and she did oppose funding for the ukraine on the basis that the biden administration had not done enough to secure the southern border and not on the actual situation ukraine has faced and she said ukraine has a right to defend itself against russian aggression and she is not marjorie taylor greene but is close to an establishment choice as is left in what has become the republican party. so also you may say with donald trump's choice for national security adv

richard nixon talking to ehrlichman and haldeman about that that nice archie bunker guy. an] what's it called? i've never seen it. - [nixon] archie is the guy's name. now that's real family entertainment, isn't it? - how cool though? like you go from gilligan's island in the decade before to norman lear, a tv creator actually attracting the ire of nixon, the president. like, i think that is when we knew tv had arrived.

they upheld what is constitutional tradition, at least since richard nixon was president, that it acts of the white house's political desires. and trump wanted the attorney general to essentially be his personal lawyer, to question the 2020 election, for example, to pursue hillary clinton, to fire mueller, for the mueller report and none of that happened. he wants to ensure that this time around, the department ofjustice does, and the fbi, does exactly what he wants. and so for those whose chief concern is the rule of law in america the department ofjustice is absolutely grand central in trump 2.0 administration. edward luce from the financial times. when this meeting ends and donald trump emerges, potentially he may speak to reporters, potentially he may get into his convoy and head back to the airport, back to florida. we are also keeping a nigh on what is happening in the senate. we are waiting for the senate. we are waiting for the result because those republicans we saw a little earlier, donald trump met with those republican lawmakers at a hotel in central washington. they are ha

as jim baker, richard nixon, henry kissinger said you need to negotiate with your enemies, that usedo be common sense and that is where common sense balance he's talking about of strength and openness and negotiation and so forth. stuart: you covered a lot of ground in a short time, that is real cool, see you again soon i hope. those soccer fans attacked in amsterdam, there have been more arrests i understand. ashley: five new people arrested on assault charges for their alleged roles in the attack. the violence is being compelled to nazi germany in 1938, broke out when hundreds of israeli soccer fans attending a soccer game in amsterdam came under anti-semitic attacks as you can see from this video, for five were sent to the hospital, 25 to 35 were injured. a total of 63 people in connection to the violence, some have been released but the dutch prime minister vowing to bring those responsible to justice, calling the attacks shocking and reprehensible. stuart: thanks very much. coming up, oprah winfrey says she was not paid by the harris campaign. >> is a true they paid you $1 milli

so i so, i got to know richard nixon. so i got i got a bunch of letters from richard nixon.i spent a number of years cultivating him. and i have to admit in public, i had you know, i had an intent. you know, i, i, i had a private purpose in doing this because at some point i was going to ask him. and the point came in 1989, and i asked him if he had been of what kissinger had done had been in 1971, the between bunkers, plans and, kissinger's plans and nixon white to totally lost his composure. and you could just see in his face and everything like this he was he was just he was in agony because and then he didn't want to talk about it anymore. but my sense was to go to your point he was some burden because we lost the war. what related to watergate his resignation, kissinger's negotiations. but he hadn't he hadn't connected all dots and on that afternoon in that in that moment, he the dots and and this was a man i felt just filled with with with with it was it wasn't anger so much it was something deeper to comment on back to your point, what else? yes, dr. thank you very mu

richard nixon tried to do it but it was one of the reasons he was forced from office.s trying to politically manipulate who gets prosecuted, who gets his taxes audited, that sort of thing. and that's the real fear that if the president takes, president- elect takes over the justice department deciding who gets prosecuted in the white house as opposed to in the justice department, that would be something very new and scary. >> obviously with elon musk, with vivek ramaswamy, any business person coming into government, there's always ethics concerns. obviously with the whole trump family. anybody coming into government. it does seem like elon musk is in a separate category, certainly in this administration. >> i think he's in a completely separate category. the conflicts of interest are already legion. he is a government contractor. he provides an enormous amount of things for the government right now. so the fact that he's going in and trying to cut people and departments that regulate him and his businesses is extremely problematic. and let's look at his track record. w

youngest ever person to hold that role in the first person to do so under 30 since the time is of richard nixonstriking appointment. she has had a role on his campaign team as well back of the first trumpet administration, and i wasjust watching a video tape of her recently, talking about donald trump �*s lack pics. she was really giving a full third a defence for those cabinet nominations that i know you're going to be discussing to the programme, and she said that donald trump and made fantastic pics. really coming out to bat for the president, and that will essentially now be herjob to do so. he went through quite a few press secretaries in the last administration, presumably hoping this one sticks. pete had stiffed _ hoping this one sticks. pete had stiffed was _ hoping this one sticks. pete had stiffed was already - hoping this one sticks. pete had stiffed was already a i had stiffed was already a divisive choice. now there are reports coming out that he was involved in a police investigation into an alleged sexual assault in 2017. what more can you tell us about that? �* , , ., more can y

richard nixon tried to do it.was one of the reasons he was forced from office, trying to politically manipulate who gets prosecuted and who gets the taxes audited and that sort of thing. that is the real fear that if the president -- the president elect takes over the justice department deciding who gets prosecuted in the white house as opposed to the justice department that would be new and scary. >> with any business person coming into government there is always an ethics concern and anybody coming into government, it does seem like elon musk is in a separate category in this administration. >> i think he is in a separate category. the conflicts of interest already are legion. he is a government contractor providing an enormous amount of things for the government right now so the fact that he will be going in and cutting people and departments that regulate him and his businesses is problematic. let's look at his track record and what did he do at twitter and now x and he completely gutted that and it remains to

they upheld what is constitutional tradition, at least since richard nixon was president, that it actssires. and trump wanted the attorney general to essentially be his personal lawyer, to question the 2020 election, for example, to pursue hillary clinton, to fire mueller, for the mueller report and none of that happened. he wants to ensure that this time around, the department ofjustice does, and the fbi, does exactly what he wants. and so for those whose chief concern is the rule of law in america, the department ofjustice is absolutely grand central in trump 2.0 administration. edward loose, speaking to me from washington. let me show you the pictures live from the white house. that meeting still going on betweenjoe biden and donald trump coming up to about an hour, so we wait to see when he emerges, speaks to reporters, we have cameras and microphones already. we also have pictures live from congress, because we are waiting for more reaction to that election of the new senatorjohn thune, who has been elected today as the new senate majority leader for the republicans. there he is,

and i was at the richard nixon presidential library a few weeks ago speaking there. and i saw campaign handbook of policies that they gave out at rallies, talked about are the legacy republican progress. i want to make segway. yeah when you finish your thought there yeah. nixon and reagan. teddy roosevelt. yeah. so i it up to them. i was like, you know, richard nixon, he created the epa. he the clean air act. the clean water act. he actually created the first climate change assessment in the united states history. so asked, ask them why in this booklet of policies he had on the campaign trail is the environment last listed subject because? it was the last list of subject and they said it was a given in this country to lead on the environment. it wasn't a debate you didn't have. you didn't have to stand out on your environmental policies because you, no matter who won you back, was an environmentalist so his opponent, if they won, would prioritize it. and if he won, he'd prioritize it. we do not have that luxury today. and to kind of go your point, it wasn't just rich

but, it is not the ultimate fate of richard nixon that most concerns rate.hough surely it deeply troubles every decent and every compassionate person. my concern is the immediate future of this great country. host: now to your comments on whether or not biden should pardon trump. on facebook, matthew crawley says agreed, it's the will of the people and it is a smart move politically for democrats. the more they prosecute trump, the more support he gets. and then magic maga says what crimes did he do again that he needs a pardon for? the way i see it, the democrats need a pardon for falsifying charges against him. vincent in gaithersburg, maryland, on the line for republicans. good morning, vincent. caller: good morning. it's getting more difficult for me to watch and observe c-span. you folks and cnn, abc, cbs, etc., first of all, you don't go straight to the point. host: do you have any idea whether or not biden should pardon trump? caller: biden doesn't need to pardon trump because trump's cases have already been thrown out. and they held these cases -- th

but again here is another name that comes up from earlier, richard nixon.arted to take this practice to the neck level. congress steps in, says, no, wait, there are limited circumstances under which a president can refuse to spend money that congress has told the president to spend. and so what the trump administration is trying to do is revive this impoundment idea that if congress says you have to spend x billion dollars on something, the president can just say, no, which places the president leapfrogs and vaults the president over congress in the constitutional pecking order and that's not the way the constitution is it's written. this is one of several areas where he is trying to walk in and say, i have more power than congress. i have more authority than congress when the reality is the constitution spells out who has the power, and congress has more power in very specific areas than the president does, and one of those areas is appropriations. and the president should be subordinate to congress in that regard. >> i wonder, tom, if that is the area whe

richard nixon in his re-election campaign in 1972. he won 49 states with only massachusetts voting against him. nixon beat mcgovern by 23 points. but in both of those republican landslides, richard nixon and ronald reagan, the democrats still easily controlled the house of representatives. president lyndon johnson had a landslide victory in 1964 after the assassination of kennedy elevated him to the presidency. in the 1964 election, the democrats won 97 seats in the house. 97 more seats in the house. and they added 12 seats in the senate. that's what they added to their margins. and no one thought that that was really remarkable because the democrats had been accustomed to having huge margins in the house and senate. just huge margins. and as strong as republicans nixon and reagan were in their presidential re-election campaigns, they couldn't come close to ever winning the house of representatives for the republicans. tonight donald trump is already chipping away at whatever the republican count might end up being in the house of rep

you have people like richard nixon, right. saying that that essentially the welfare state is is here and that we all agree on that, don't we? that that is that it's just a common way of life. right. this was this was rather shocking that that a republican president would what would make this statement. and many of the economic policy things that the nixon white house, other republicans adopted came from the time and the decisions institutionally that you're mentioning. and real time. it was contested with wilson and others, but in its relatively short period of time between the teens and the 1960s and seventies, by that time richard nixon could say we're all keynesians now. you know what? what what a dramatic statement. so i think you're absolutely right. and i think we can't understand the chaotic changes resulting in the explosive of administrative state apart from some of the economic decisions, finance decisions that made early with the same group of people, good. well, i think that's all the time we have. or do we have ti

some are calling this the greatest political comeback since richard nixon. here is congressman byron donalds on "fix if news sunday" earlier -- fox news sunday. >> he is focused on the american people. job number one is securing our border and beginning the process of deporting illegal immigrants out of our country. job number two is getting our economy thriving again, becoming energy dominant again. that's his focus. his focus is the american people, not some enemies' list. >> reporter: now, here's how trump did it, mike. he won first-time voters by 24 points. he was +14 with latinos, +13 with voters 18-29 and veterans by +11. and men ages 18-29. here was peggy noonan writing in her "wall street journal" column, quote, what are the democrats? what's that party for? when i was a kid, they were the the party of the working man, the little guy. that's the trumpian gop now. when i was a young woman, they were the anti-war party, that's the trumpian gop. the party of generous spending, the trumpian party says, hold my beer. here's outgoing congressman dean fill

you have people like richard nixon, right. saying that that essentially the welfare state is is here and that we all agree on that, don't we? that that is that it's just a common way of life. right. this was this was rather shocking that that a republican president would what would make this statement. and many of the economic policy things that the nixon white house, other republicans adopted came from the time and the decisions institutionally that you're mentioning. and real time. it was contested with wilson and others, but in its relatively short period of time between the teens and the 1960s and seventies, by that time richard nixon could say we're all keynesians now. you know what? what what a dramatic statement. so i think you're absolutely right. and i think we can't understand the chaotic changes resulting in the explosive of administrative state apart from some of the economic decisions, finance decisions that made early with the same group of people, good. well, i think that's all the time we have. or do we have ti

richard nixon was never shot in the head. so i think we are witnessing history today and it is going to continue to unfold. very happy with the rapid roll-out of the team across all the different silos, more will be coming no doubt in short order. good campaign, great transition, hopefully an extraordinarily successful second term for donald trump. >> bill: we can show senate republicans going into their private meeting behind closed doors. jd vance went in a moment ago and john thune. we'll see how it goes with the secret vote. josh kraushaar, join the conversation. >> a big moment, a moment where he has the control of the republican party and it will be fascinating as trey was alluding to to see him meet with the house republican caucus. trump was frankly responsible. is responsible for the expected republican majority if you look at states like michigan, pennsylvania, some of the big wins by house republicans in those states. they won because of trump's coattails. there are other republican lawmakers that got elected in th

lead the environmental protection agency, an agency that was established by republican president richard nixon and he's chosen chris wright for energy. secretary wright is ceo of liberty energy, one of the country's top oil and gas firms. trump has promised deregulation to unleash the power of american business and an increase in oil and gas production. but that plan has environmentalists, including conservative environmentalists, concerned. according to pew research center, about 12% of republicans and folks who lean republican think dealing with climate change should be a top priority for the president and for congress. our correspondent dina demetrios introduces us to some of them. i do know people on both sides that are worried about the climate. so i'm hoping that maybe be a unifying issue. yeah, we have to find those, don't we? the uphill scramble by environmentalists to enact climate change policies has been an even steeper challenge for conservatives within the movement. people don't want to be blamed for something, and that's something that i hear a lot of conservatives talk about, li

kennedy bea richard nixon with widespread allegations of vote fraud in texas and chicago.ecision is made, w unite behind the man elected. >> a moment where nixon put country above self. >> it was very much of a noble moment. >> in 2000 george bush beat al gore by just one electoral college vote after the supreme court and the five judgment for decision stopped florida's recount. >> while i strongly disagree with the court's decision, i accepted. i say to president-elect bush, that what remains of partisan record must now be put aside. >> john mccain concede that the 2008 election. >> i had the honor of calling senator barack obama to congratulate him. >> beginning in 1896, every presidential election, 31 straight ended with the looters are conceding often with a simple congratulations, always for the good of the country. more than a century of politica goodwill and grace. >> we are going to walk down to the capital. rules can have exceptions after the 2020 election resolve it happens when the exception rules . mayhem, the freeing of our democratic traditions first. >> may

he died amazingly in 1973 on the same night that a peace agreement was signed by richard nixon and northietnamese which was nixon said peace with honor and everybody knew it was just the american withdrawal. so a johnson's sense of it was that he wanted to do his best, didn't know how and made the wrong choices and mac and others, mac is my focus felt that they could advise johnson but could not overrule him and then there's the question people ask of why he didn't just resign if he thought the war was wrong which he started to do and argued in 1967 to johnson and said we need to get this done and i'm advocating negotiations in any way we can get them, why didn't he resign and he kept going around and he said, can you imagine that in the middle of a war, the secretary of defense he's opposed to elected president that he's going to quit. no, i couldn't do that. that was a form of his particular sense of loyalty and could he, should he, he didn't. there's a whole other aspect which is the very complicated business of mcdamara's relationship with the kennedy family and johnson's relationshi

richard nixon, for example in 1968. he was certainly willing to engender dirty tricks and every possible means of winning at any cost. and again, the keys are stable. they take into account all of these individual factors, which you can't parse out individually and come up with a prediction system. >> do you think we are at a different time when some of these things in our political system are changing? it seems a lot of the norms and guardrails we have for how people behave in election have been tossed aside. the keys are based on history, but a very wide range of history. retrospectively, development to lee. they go back to 1860 when we had no radio, no television. no automobiles. no polls. women could not vote. most african-americans were enslaved. an agricultural society. my ancestors. so the keys have endured. the changes in our society, demography, and our politics. that is what makes them able to have a 40 plus year track record of success. if you try to change them in response to what you think is going on at a

the arab war, richard nixon said keep anything you want to and we got the arab embargo which really hurt. second, you say you are pro-life. i was stationed in germany. trump complained that germany would buy our food because by german law, chocolate bars can only have three ingredients in them. american chocolate wouldn't do that. you can get american beer over there, but by german law. the reason i say this, i've called twice about the wall street journal having pesticides causing autism. if you don't mind, don't want to get into chocolate so much, pretty broad reaching tariffs that can affect our european allies. katrina? >> you begin with nafta, nafta is the original sin in many ways. the left democrats are not against trade or globalization. millions have been shafted as a result of these trade deals and many have greatly benefited. so i think that needs to be understood as one of the grievances that is driving the selection, covid, and previous elections. i haven't followed the link to 72 and the oil, but i think the bernie sanders wing of the democratic party was right about the im

. >> a full, free and absolute pardon on to richard nixon. >> reporter: ford pardoned nixon, protecting from numerous criminal trials. ford knew it could cost him the presidency, and it did. >> my name is jimmy carter, and i'm running for president. >> reporter: he lost to jimmy carter. >> there had been such distrust over watergate and vietnam and assassinations. >> reporter: but douglas brinkley, professor of history at rice university says that their shared religious beliefs were exactly the healing america needed at exactly the moment america needed it. this was really, in its own way, a turning point in american history then. we were jaded. we didn't believe in our presidents. there were riots on the streets, and ford and then after him carter somehow seemed able to heal that. >> reporter: how? >> i think both gerald ford and jimmy carter both had god in their life. gerald ford used to have prayer sessions on capitol hill. they are the kind of men we like to believe should be president if you're looking for the idea that character matters. those two have a character that you cannot

i mean, richard nixon, every president and every administration has declared that much like they did with the vietnam war. you know, you go into office for a year or two. also, you say, are you making progress? leave office and a new problem emerges and it keeps going. all right so that's not working. the second point, though, is that herb says that we are winning this war. well, the key successes, far as i can tell, in the last five years, have been reducing the number of college kids and yuppies using drugs like, marijuana and cocaine to slightly the people who were least likely to have problems, their drug use. at the same time, the most horrible costs of drug which are drug related aids, crack babies, the more severe inner drug use, by all indications, is getting worse and worse. our current policies are responsible for that, in good part. let me ask dr. cleaver about two things that you've just mentioned. is it the case is the ethan says that many people he mentioned yuppies. he probably in mind others can safely use cocaine without it developing the kind of problems associate w
