It’s so obvious from the clinking of ice in a glass that Nixon is probably drinking again. This phone conversation is typical of the manner in which he repeats himself, interrogates and interrupts the other party and constantly fishes for compliments and affirmation that his course of conduct is always best.
Not always, one time Daniel Patrick Moynihan complimented him for desegregating Southern Schools and Richard Milhous Nixon just said "Yeah." and moved on.
I too was a kid when Nixon resigned, I've read a great deal about him of late. I can't say he didn't do some improper things, I think they ALL do quite frankly, but I've come away very impressed with him. He did more to end the cold war than any president before or since. And he was totally dedicated to his job. More than you can say for most of them.
These tapes are all very interesting to listen to, however I've noticed that Nixon likes to cut people off and not let them finish their thought or sentence.
@Jedimaster802 Actually, he was trying to get the goods on O'Brien, who was on Howard Hughes payroll, not the other way around. Your research is flawed. Also, Special prosecutor Cox was convinced, of one thing, the incredible venality of John Dean. Judge Sirica stated in his records that he sentenced John Dean the maximum penalty before the trials of the other defendants because he wanted Deans testimony to carry more weight against the other defendants. An odd move for an impartial judge.
@chrisdenton01 To summarize, I said Nixon did improper things, I think they all do (i.e. Recent example Charlie Rangle, who incidentally voted to impeach Nixon), I could name a couple dozen more) You can be pretty sure most people don't achieve high office without bending or breaking some rule or law. Nixon did more to end the cold war than anyone, and he was totally dedicated to his job. You could argue any of these points but your crude analogy puts you beneath contempt in my book.

@@jaliscodiss Joe Biden’s long history of friendships with segregationists in the U.S. Senate is suddenly emerging as a political issue after the presidential candidate this week fondly recalled working with two racists who were his fellow Democrats on Capitol Hill in the 1970s. Through his nearly five decades in politics, Biden, 76, has praised or reminisced about working cordially with every major segregationist who served alongside him in the Senate, according to a Washington Examiner analysis based on a list of key segregation proponents compiled by the Equal Justice Initiative. In all, Biden has spoken warmly of or boasted about his ability to work with six men on the list. He has lauded South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond - who Biden called “one of my closest friends” - and Sen. Jesse Helms of North Carolina, who Biden worked with on legislation to prevent court-ordered desegregation busing. He has also expressed admiration for Sens. John Stennis, James O. Eastland and Herman Talmadge. He has even praised George Wallace, an Alabama governor and segregationist presidential candidate. Now, nearly 50 years after Biden was first elected to political office, all six men are dead, but the former vice president's wistful reminiscences of them over the years has suddenly brought them to the fore of the 2020 campaign. He worked with some of them to oppose busing (a way of forcing the desegregation of schools) and others on anti-crime legislation that disproportionately affected African Americans
This is why these people are Presidents and run the world. Nixon did things he didn't even have to do and still did it. Johnson always says he's not going to do something and then he does just like Trump does. Hahahaha
The convicted felon known as Charles Colson was so wrong about Daniel Ellsberg. Ellsberg is smart, charming, likable, educated, and well-spoken. He actually came off to the public, and still does come off to the public, very very well.
+mrblujet, if you're distrusting and contentious with the press, they will turn on you. If you charm them, they're on your side. Kennedy understood this about politics, Nixon didn't, or chose to ignore it.
Dan Nájera Yes and that's wha got Trump in trouble like Nixon and they media wants to control everyone or they pout like hell and cry like that shit head Acosta.

His voice goes up with people he likes like John Connally and down with people he hates like Barbara Walters , it's funny.
I love Nixon's reaction when Colson mentions that Barbara Walters involved with the interview!
Photo was in 1968 nixon sound nervous

@Jedimaster802 what did they have? and why didnt they release whatever they had?
Imagine hearing Bush, Obama and Clinton this transparent

It's kind of irritating listening to this tape while Nixon chomping on ice from his cocktail.
That has been disproved.
George Shulz is 100. I'm scared.
