- On April 30, 1973, California governor Ronald Reagan telephoned President Richard Nixon. Recording devices on the telephone in the Lincoln Sitting Room captured this conversation.
In the conversation segment, Reagan offers words of support to President Nixon, following the President's April 30 "Address to the Nation about the Watergate Investigations." President Nixon states his priority of building world peace. The two men remark on their good fortune in wives, Nancy Reagan and Thelma ("Pat") Nixon. They touch on that evening's televised address to the nation and the resignations of White House aides H. R. ("Bob") Haldeman and John D. Erhlichman.

"Each of us has a different religion, you know. But, Goddamn it, Ron, we have got to build peace in the world."
Lmfao Nixon hung up while Reagan was still talking! 😂
frequently did that with people
Reagan almost idolized Nixon, while Nixon resented Reagan and saw him as a threat to his own ambitions.
I wasn't aware of that. Do you have sources that substantiate your claim? Just wondering.@@arodgefan589
A little different from the other Reagan-Nixon conversation making the rounds now
Nixon betrayed all his friends by taping them without their knowledge, yes.
@@stestell7544 as did LBJ and JFK 🤷♂️
Maybe it is just me, but Nixon sounds as though he’s drinking here.
2:03 best part
It seems like Ronnie is trying to be a friend to him but Nixon has his walls up. Sad.
Oh Ron .. How are you..

Nixon didn't respect Reagan. He viewed him as a zealot politically, and an intellectual lightweight. Nixon also didn't have very many genuine friends - meaning, outside of political allies like Haldeman and Ehrlichman. Guys who did the things he didn't like doing - for example, Nixon was not the type of person who could fire someone personally, he hated doing it. Nixon was someone who let very few people in. Reagan, being of course an actor for a good half of his life, was more of a natural extrovert although he also, ironically, had very true few friends - his entire life revolved around Nancy - he was different than Nixon in that he didn't have paranoias or insecurities, but because of his upbringing, he let very, very few people in. Most of his most trusted subordinates have felt they never truly knew Reagan, who he was inside. Reagan was a lot softer than his public image. He dreamt, in his diary, repeatedly of a world without nuclear weapons, for example.
Reagan respected Nixon as a politician in that Nixon was a lot more right wing in the 1950s and 1960s, but at this point, Reagan was not so much being friendly as being respectful to the President - not to Nixon personally. He had a strong code of ethics and he was very disappointed when, a year later, it had turned out Nixon had been lying to the country.
Nixon, for his part, was not in any sort of friendly mood here. He had just had to fire his two most trusted men, guys who basically ran the government day to day for him, and he had been drinking all day. He was in a dark place emotionally - he said he hoped he would die in his sleep this same night. He also contemplated resigning here in April 1973 after firing Haldeman and Ehrlichman.
Maybe it's just me, but Nixon sounds like he's surprise Reagan called, almost like why are you calling, I may be wrong, that was my take away
morticin that’s what Nixon was saying to RR that he called and it must be 7am on West Coast time.
He keeps saying “how nice of you to call.” That’s a polite way of saying: “Ok, we have talked long enough. Let’s end our conversation because I’m tired of talking to you, and it’s now time for us to hang up.”
Nixon and Reagan were great allies & very friendly. Would you want your ally on the phone too long, whilst not knowing he was being recorded? You can just go to Wiki, Nixon was set up. It's right on Wiki, look for yourselves. Love him or loath him.
Impressed with the audio quality, as it sounds like on many of the recordings of Nixon's tapes, the audio is extremely difficult to hear.
Of course Reagan didn’t know he was being recorded !
@Sebastian Guevara Why Did You Capitalize Every Word?
@Sebastian Guevara Oh Okay.
How many times did Reagan say "well" ? Lol

Ha Ha, Translation “Your about only 7 O’clock there” = “Ron, I’m piss-drunk, you should have called earlier”.
President Nixon secretly gave President Reagan foreign policy advise when Reagan was President.
Iran gate
No secret. He were pretty open about it.
President Nixon gave advice to more than just President Reagan - on both sides of the aisle. He was sought for by many and in looking back, I would have sought his advice as well.
He advised Bill Clinton too. What’s your point?
It's normal for ex-presidents to give some advice.
Nixon seems peeved that Reagan called him at such a late hour and was obviously trying to give Reagan a fast brush.

Nixon was drunk during this. Also they both agree LA is a "miserable city"
Your'e right. He was drunk in quite a few tapes: the slurring, way more emotional that normal, etc. he was a solo drinker i'd say. Up there drinking in the dark
He was referring to Sacramento as the "miserable city" not LA
@@Nick83Fairfax exactly right, thank you for correcting that lol.
So heartwarming❤😊
Two great politicians
But Nixon is greater!
Reagan is one of my favorite presidents ever and you can hear his deference to the office, not for Nixon personally. But Nixon is rude to then governor Reagan
He was a racist
@@davidfoster989 therefore he was a bad president? Thinking with your brain, I see.
@@the10thfloor37 you know that, you actually make a lot a sense.
he was drunk, what's your point?
Damn this makes my work call small talk feel pretty meagre.
The ledger does say we may have a miscalculation on Nimrod entitled landscape
Typical Nixon. Rude to everyone else but expecting them to save him. I hate saying that about any person that has held that office but it’s true
Their voices sound nearly identical.

No. Reagan sounds humorous and enthusiastic while Nixon sounds deep and awkward
"And Dick, I've decided that when I'm president, I'll not put a tape recorder in my desk, so I can get away with crimes."

What's all this about Nixon being drunk during this call? I personally don't think he was. However, he was a known alcoholic, so he could've been.
The President had obviously been drinking.

Richard Nixon. if we could retract that to align it correctly by our teams Nimrod to try again it may have happened where Nimi has sorority sisters because then the Russia posted vagrancy when Maureen had tried to call her mother at the martinov
Two great men.
+Empjori Two of our most criminal presidents in the 20th century, on the phone together. Destruction of the middle class, obliteration of our infrastructure, deregulation and infighting for our social systems, and covering up some of the biggest scandals. Awful, horrible people and administrations. Bush II/Cheney was the third part of the horror trilogy which has turned our nation from one of equality to one of oligarchy, corporatism and rule by fear. And the pussies we call Ford, Carter, Clinton, and Obama have only allowed the degradation of our democracy into plutocracy to accelerate.
blah blah blah
Go piss up a tree.
Empjori I agree. I am currently writing a book on Watergate, and it was NOT NIXON'S FAULT!!!!
Afrika Steele Do you have an issue with me?
Why did Reagan call ? Just as a matter of "the right thing to do" for a fellow Republican....? I also never heard Reagan swear like that and I am sure that it was an offense. He wrote in his diaries hell as h--l and damn as d--n. Did Reagan even realize that Nixon was at the heart of the mess and couldn't extricate himself--even 18 months prior to resigning ?
MN Bluestater Reagan knew he would become President pretty soon. He had in mind 1976 of course, as he knew by then Nixon would be a lame duck at best. By 1973 Nixon still had a strong grip on the GOP and Ronnie was just being nice so that Dick would remember him in three years, apart from their Bohemian Grove meetings. As it was, Reagan was still two presidencies and almost 8 years apart from becoming POTUS, and by 1980 Nixon was just a bad memory in the GOP, so here Ronnie is wasting his time basically.
Reagan’s 11th Commandment: Thou shall not speak ill of any republican. Also, Reagan believed that he would need the RNCs assistance in his quest for the presidency so he wasn’t going to burn any bridges.
Reagan called because he had a big heart and it was the right thing to do.
Reagan probably couldn't remember swear words. By the time he was president he was showing signs of his Alzheimer's.
Why did Reagan call?
Moral booster - Ehrlichman & Haldeman aka The Berlin Wall out the door. Al Haig incoming ready to take over years later when Reagan was shot.
Nixon made only two mistakes: he was too liberal and too harsh on Vietnam. Nixon truly is a love/hate president seen through the conservative eye. To me at least.
Ronald Reagan was a great American.
I was a kid when Nixon resigns but i like the man ,i don't why but i like richard Nixon,he loved the United states.

Nixon was probably drunk.

Nixon I don’t think was a liberal per se although by todays gop standards he was . I think in those days he was a moderate he liked some conservative beliefs butt also had some pretty liberal ones as well . Certainly his type of Republican are extinct the last one being Gerald Ford. I think in todays world Nixon would be a Moderate who begrudgingly votes Republican, as he wouldn’t like how far left the democrats have come . Butt at the same time I don’t think he would have liked certain conservative beliefs on things like guns or social security.
Nixon has had a few drinks. Slurring. Again.

Rude as he was to everyone. I hated hearing him talk about how Mitchell and all the other men involved needed to keep watergate away from the president acting like it’s only an afterthought that he would be the person to benefit from them taking the blame
He was drunk.

Ronnie was sucking up to Nixon. Secretly, Ronnie already knew that Spiro Agnew had admitted to a CA lawyer in Feb. 1973 that he had received kickbacks. Ronnie was angling for the VP slot that Agnew was sure to vacate - and would ultimately in Oct. 1973. “We all have different religions, but goddamit...” Ha! Great men, my butt.
Two wicked men
The wicked ones are Brandon and Obozo

Ed Evans bend over Ed, Roseanne will take you now
If only Nixon had Clinton’s arrogance he never would have resigned
@@billthestinkerOr Clinton’s partisan support seriously Nixon was dealt a bad hand.
One racist to another )
Omg racism in the early 70s😳
LBJ was the biggest
@@BillyBob-ec5ox Yup LBJ was hardcore racist. Had no problem dropping the N-word.
Nixon feeling no pain!
