Amazing. Look at how Nixon was respected by Clinton because of his sincere non partisan desire to advise Clinton for the good of the World. Kudos to Clinton for listening.
I actually feel sorry for President Clinton. It's too bad that he's married to an egomaniac, narcissist person. I think that she is the definition of a word that begins with the letter C and rhymes with hunt.
For Vietnamese people: Nixon is just the name of a dog species in Vietnam, from VN 😮
Too bad he and his wife became corrupt later on, I used to like him but he’s revealed himself and supports the current illegitimate Xiden regime. Instead of doing the right thing and calling out the fraud that took place in 2020 and how corrupt the dems have gotten.
I may not be an American but I always viewed Nixon as a smart leader, who above all the other things wished for the peace and prosperous world. His legacy will never be forgotten.
If you're not an American, why even bother commenting? I don't think this channel and video is for you if it doesn't relate to you.. 😐
@@SUPERNOVA0360 what's the problem with him commenting on an open forum such as this? Just because he isn't a US citizen doesn't mean President Nixon's legacy hasn't affected him in some way.

Nice to see a Democrat respecting a Republican. How times have changed.
Respecting a respectable if flawed Republican- nothing changed
Indeed
We respect DECENT Republicans like Senator McCain. We don't respect hateful Republicans like Lauren Bobert. There is a difference.
Nixon respectable? 😂😂😂😂
@@tbessy1963 No, obama respectable🤡
Nixon was an amazing man and will be remembered as so.
Yes. He truly loved his country, and he was cultivated & educated about so very many aspects of our great nation. He was a pillar.
We lost a real one 30 years ago. He was without a doubt one of the best foreign policy presidents we've ever had.
I may not know much about Nixon as a 23 year old but I will say what I do know. He was, like you said, excellent in foreign policy and to me a wonderful speaker and a very intelligent man. I think not only us as a people but our schools misconstrue his entire presidency due to Watergate. The man won by a landslide for a reason I think. If you look at the things going on recently and with today's presidential candidates I think Nixon would've never been impeached in our time. As President Clinton said, Nixon knew the risk of communism yet also had the wisdom to reach out and work together even though that wasn't a generally accepted idea. Something us citizens will never fully understand in my opinion. I don't mean to speak as if I know everything about the man and his time in office, I just wish to share my thoughts on it as a young man.
If not for the watergate scandal(which he didn't need to do as he won nearly 50 states), Nixon would've been considered one of our best presidents.
I was only 18 days old on this day, and the irony of that is this...Richard Nixon is one of my favorite Presidents of all Time, and yet our lives only shared the earth for 18 days. Remarkable how history never dies.
If only some of the people and politicians today will learn from history and not try to rewrite it, can we move forward from the current events. Richard Nixon is also one of my favorite Presidents with JFK being another one.
Well how does it feel to finally turn 30? It felt weird for me a bit
Yea well, I was 29 when he died and I lived through his presidency. Tell me WHY, out of all of them, he is one of your favorite presidents of all time?
Also, you're correct about history. It's just that we never seem to learn from it. Or, THESE days, to pay attention to it!
@@captaincarl8230 I find your comment to be utterly fascinating with regard to history. Especially your choice of favorite presidents.
Nixon was ten times worse than Trump could ever HOPE to be and yet, compare what they did to Nixon compared to what they are doing to Trump.
Nixon literally banned certain reporters from the White House because they were critical of him. He had his famous 'enemies list' which were citizens, many of prominence, who disagreed with him. He used the government to go after them such as having the IRS audit them and their relatives when they had done nothing wrong. Then there were the 'plumbers.' You need to read up on that. Then there is Watergate. While there is still no proof that Nixon himself ordered the break in but his aides had, Nixon still obstructed justice during the cover up.
As for JFK, they used to sneak different women into the White House all the time for him to boof. Right under Jackie's nose too. The American people were never told what a horn dog adulterer he was either. Yet, Trump allegedly has ONE affair long before he ran for president and they're trying to make it a crime that did not disclose it to the American people when he ran by paying the woman more money not to talk about the affair than the National Enquirer was willing to pay her TO talk about it!
THANK YOU YOU ARE SPECIAL
God bless President Nixon.
That last portrait of president Nixon in the thumbnail will go down in the history of our species. I mean just look at that stud.
All day long, I felt an emptiness, which I could not identify. Then I saw the date and knew. How I wish there was someone with his intellect, wisdom, and courage to lead this country. God bless Richard Nixon.❤
May Richard Nixon Rest In Peace.
GOOD JOB BILL,WELL SAID❤
Whatever one thinks of his politics, he was several cuts above everyone else.
Yes, he was but he destroyed himself with his obsessive paranoia. It was one of the most consequential things for him and our country
Already 30 years ago of death, he was still a great man despite being the only president ever to resign the office.
Thank you, President Nixon. Continue resting in peace. 🌹
(January 9th, 1913 - April 22nd, 1994)
So how did Nixon deny special homosexual rights ?
He didn't like illegal mexicans any more than Trump !
Bill Clinton said to me- when I thanked him for what he said at RN's funeral- that RN was a much better guy then he ever got credit for. Bill was right, and I thanked him sincerely for saying that.
Thank you President Nixon for your many years of service and dedication to this great nation.
Thank you President Clinton for your kind words.
I remember watching the Nixon funeral on television. The moment that I'll never forget from that service was Bob Dole.
22 April 1994
bill clinton when he was actually cool 🙏
Clinton was a really solid President, all things considered.
Times sure have changed. Although Nixon was the only President in US history to resign amid scandal, the Democrat President Clinton delivered a warm public eulogy. If we should have the misfortune to be under another Democrat at the time of the death of Trump, it is almost impossible to imagine any of them saying anything so kind. What were once political adversaries have become in our day enemies. Not without reason, but it is sad.
Totally agree! Great statement!
@@BMWI35433 Please stop being rude!
Unfortunately between Trump and Nixon there is no sane constructive comparison
And to be fair, there's a good chance that Mr. Trump wouldn't be so warm either.
@@j.franklin21 Well, maybe. But did you see Trump's off-the-cuff remarks upon hearing of the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg? (You can easily find it online.) She certainly was no ally of his, yet he said positive things.
With regards to foreign policy and understanding the world and the world leaders, Nixon was one of the top 10 presidents of United States. His 1982 book "Leaders" remains a classic. This is also very much evident in Clinton's comments. It is problematic for the rest of the world, especially to Europe (where I live) that today the concept of foreign policy is seen by many US politicians as something almost negative.
I remember…
30 years ago (1994).
Jackie Kennedy also died the same year.
True and she didn't receive anywhere near the coverage that Nixon did even though she was a great lady!
@@retroguy9494 Sadly.
@@shahrulamar5358 Yes indeed; sadly. They just don't make great ladies like her anymore!

god bless richard nixon the greatest president ever. nixon built this great country from the bottom up!!!!! i love the nixon foundation and will dedicate my life towards raising money for it.
He DID? WOW I didn't know Nixon was one of the founders or framers?
Wonderful tribute,
Can we get president's that speak well again.
Well, we can start by choosing one that's 30 years younger and who does NOT have dementia!
They both had their faults and detractors but I hold both these men in very high esteem today. Thanks for posting this!
Gotta respect Nixon's foreign policy chops... although, we still have that Communist China thing to straighten out...
All respect to the Explainer-In-Chief.
Just read the Nixon Kennedy book last week 04/10/24 and found it fascinating.
Back in the days when Democrats and Republicans could put aside politics for moments like this…
President Clinton looked as if he was about to get choked up at the end.
I’m not an American, but have always been intrigued in your country’s politics. President Nixon has always captured my interest as he was a very smart man and always interesting to listen to 🙏🏻 What would he think about that’s going on in the world now?
Yes, Nixon was actually a brilliant man. He graduated first in his class at Duke University Law School which is one of the top law schools in our country. However, he was also mentally ill, a wife beater and a crook who went after his political opponents with lies, acts which were criminally illegal and then after becoming president, used government agencies to target people who disagreed with him.
What would Nixon think of what is going on in the world today? Could you be more specific?
@@retroguy9494 So pretty much what's going on today.
@@rafaelfiallo4123 Yep....pretty much! Isn't it funny that the more things change, the more they stay the same?
Thank you President Clinton for your heartfelt tribute to President Nixon.
Thank you
Thanks ,though I'm old enough to recall Nixon's death, I wasn't aware of this announcement, let alone Clinton's close relationship with the member of his rival party
I miss President Nixon so much.
We need him so badly. Even Clinton understood.
RIP President Nixon. You will always be my President.
The self made man 🧍♂️
Rest in peace!Condoleance!Condoleante familiei indoliate!
...and Jackie O passed a month later, and then a month after that, O.J. Simpson.....well...you know...
Very interesting it explains a lot
An extraordinary man with an extraordinary legacy. A true "moderate conservative", the greatest our country has ever had (and hopefully can have again).
Reagan was 10,000 times better!
It was my bad for not respecting Nixon while he was in office, today older and wiser I see him totally differently,- one if not the greatest American presidents in foreign affairs his vision and accomplishments are unbelievable. Today , I see his critics as bottom dwellers...
My brothers father in law was the white house physician for president Nixon and Ford. He had great stories to tell of his time in the white house.
A Democrat still showing respect for another politician from the opposing party..... RIP 🙏....How far politics has fallen
I don't know much about him as i was not born at that time to witness him but he seems to me as very dedicated person to his country and had an ideology that followed common sense which is quite rare now.
Well, I DO remember when he was president and there was more bad than good. Yes, he was excellent at foreign policy. But he ignored domestic issues for the most part during what was probably the worst period in our country since the Civil War. Nixon was in it for only ONE thing though and that thing was Richard Nixon. You should really study up on him. You're going to learn quite a lot.
I can’t believe it’s been 30 years since we lost this great man. I was 14 at the time I remember the whole town of Yorba Linda shut down for the funeral. We had no school and people stood for hours in the rain just to view the casket. I don’t quite realize what a remarkable President Nixon was until I got older and had the pleasure of working in his library. If you’re ever in Yorba Linda, CA, please go visit Nixon’s library. You won’t be disappointed.
We need a Nixon today. RIP Mr president.
He was before my time but watching some of his interviews he seemed like a pretty smart dude
Wow… class once existed in politics.
Clinton gave a very nice eulogy at Nixon’s funeral
30 Years Ago... Rest In Peace President Nixon. You Did Well Despite Watergate and The Nixon Shock.
Exactly thirty years ago
Exactly......................
The media sure talks differently today
The microphones have two eyes .
Respect the office. (as much as one can).
If it wasn't for Watergate, he would be one of the greatest POTUS
Not really. He basically ignored domestic issues during a very volatile period in our county's history.
I’m a Republican and can respect Clinton for acknowledging Nixons service to the country. Clinton showed a lot of class here.
It’s like Watergate was forgotten. SMH
Bill Clinton probably spent most of the 60s and 70s opposing Richard Nixon and everything he stood for and yet he's able put aside partisan politics to accept council from and pay tribute to his predecessor. I didn't always agree with President Clinton or his policies but he showed a great deal of dignity and statesmanship on this occasion.
Actually, until her college years, Hillary was a republican. She campaigned for Goldwater. Politics wasn't as cult-like then.
I remember hearing on the news he had died. I was just a little boy.
Just imagine. When Nixon died THIRTY years ago you were only a little boy and yet, Biden was already in his FOURTH six year term in the Senate! Also think abut THIS one. Biden is older now than Nixon was when he died! Both the same age; 81. But Biden has Nixon beat by a few months now.
God bless President Nixion. Amen.
Sick Willy
Case supreme Court is taking reference to in thier current case.
Condoleante..familiei
Oad.bless 3:37
God, please have mercy on his soul..
I remember watching this when it happened.
Ew, you're super super old.. 😐
Both very bright, intelligent. Both not from the privileged class. Both publicly humiliated.
This is a president that placed partisanship aside. He was the first president I voted for.
Richard Nixon is the most underrated president we have ever had. Had it not been for Watergate, He would have been known as one of the greatest
You must think the same about Pierce, Buchanan and Harding.
His final words were: “help”
My guiding star and hero, President Richard M. Nixon. He belongs to and is with our Lord now. ❤🇺🇲
Nixon probably advised Clinton on building a surplus instead of a deficit during his term...
President Nixon was one of the greatest president's in history❤
In 1978 Nixon during a speech and Q&A in England at the Oxford Club (video on youtube) commented on the many leaders in the USA that had attended Oxford. He said that while the president of the USA wasn't on that list, Nixon predicted by the time the century is out there would be one. Clinton had attended Oxford, and was running in his first election for governor at the time of Nixon's comments. No doubt Clinton had caught his attention.
Comparing this single video compared to present day American politics shows that Americans are regressing back to the cavemen days.
I'm not American and though in my early 20s by the time never heard of this speech of honour.
And now I feel extremely ignorant for my entire life after watching last weeks bombardment of short feeds with Nixon interviews. A surely intelligent man, knowing to take the right and difficult decisions at the right time, serving not only the USA but the entire free world. If I hadn't watched all Nixons interviews I would probably have concluded this vid was an AI production, or likewise hill billy conspiracy clown things.
President Clinton was, I believe, the last president that served during the 20th century. He was the president when I was born. What an amazing tribute he gave. I remember watching a documentary about President Nixon and the Watergate Scandal. I know times weren't easy back then, and they certainly aren't now. No matter how much politicians go up against each other, they still ultimately respect each other.
I had no idea that Richard Nixon was still alive or that Bill Clinton is still President of the United States.
But did you know Bill Clinton denied special homosexual rights ?
He wasn't no illegal mexican !
I remember this, it was a big deal. This was the first President that had died in my lifetime. There hadn't been a President that had died since LBJ in 1973.
A wonderful eulogy
A sad announcement tainted by a hillbilly politician.
They say 95% of the President's job is foreign policy. If that's true, Nixon was probably the greatest President of my lifetime.
I have visited both the Nixon Library and the Clinton Library. Both men understood getting along with the opposition party for what was best for America. One day American presidents may return to this proper behavior. I remember when President Nixon was near death President Clinton posted a military guard at the site. Though I was not a big fan of President Clinton, I rememberd that and admired President Clinton for that action. How showed honor to an honorable man.
Posted a military guard at the site of WHAT?
@@retroguy9494 The site where Nixon was, a hospital in NY. I'm guessing it was outside his room, but President Clinton ordered a military guard to where Nixon was.
@@bobjordan5231 Well, I live in the New York metro area and I know that Nixon died at Washington Heights Family Health Center which was part of Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, one of the best hospitals in the country. Of course after they merged with Cornell it's now known as New York Presbyterian Hospital and they have multiple campuses across New York City.
However, I wonder why Clinton would post a military guard outside his room? Reagan and Bush didn't have that. I'm also sure Carter, who turns 100 this year won't have it either.
@@retroguy9494 The nightly news reported it. Clinton did it, I remember it distinctly. Why, don't know, I just expect it was a gesture of respect. President Nixon advised President Clinton a lot, and President Clinton lamented President Nixon's death, and is quoted as saying more than once later in his presidency he wished he could have called on President Nixon for advice on world matters.
@@bobjordan5231 I'm not doubting you when you say Clinton did it.
I was just wondering why?
It's very common for former presidents to advise current presidents and the former ones retain their top level security clearance for life.
Nixon also advised Reagan. Probably more so than Clinton. Reagan reached out to Nixon when he was choosing his first cabinet as well. It was Nixon who recommended Gen. Alexander Haig as secretary of state. He was the guy who, after Reagan got shot, said that he was in charge 'here in the White House' and also got the order of succession wrong in saying that he was third in line to the presidency.
Nancy Reagan was appalled that Ron talked to Nixon and advised him to not let that be generally known.
President Nixon was one of the greatest Presidents of America and President Bill Clinton was America for me when I was a child.

Hill did it.
After his wife set him up what a slap in the face
that was a good job by President Clinton
Trump makes Nixon look like a choir boy.
As a general proposition, Richard Nixon sought to reach the correct result -- regardless of the "politics" involved. Because of this, he was able to dramatically lower tensions with the Soviet Union and with China. Domestically, he was responsible for the creation of both the Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. He was, in too many ways to count, simply a superlative President of the United States. He's much missed -- now and always.
I dread to think about how Trump would announce Carter passing away.
Hopefully Biden will still be in office so we won't have to worry about Trump's response.
No such sorrow, memory, recognition or incidents of advise requested from Donald Trump from the current president the day he dies, for it will be in a federal prison.
Unlike today whose leaders want to push for wars wherever they can,it was NIXON who pulled us out of VIETNAM, had Emperors Hirohito leave Japan and walk on US SOIL for the first time after then 25 years since WW2.
He also opened relations with China and Russia and was the first to use to term " PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH".
He was a great diplomat and today's American leaders should learn from his example.
It's funny how everyone's like "oh it's nice to see a Democrat respecting a Republican" -- etc. etc. -- when in fact Hillary (and Bill to an extent) appear to have been closely involved with Watergate and Nixon's impeachment! -- which came back to haunt the Clinton's with Lewinsky and Clinton's own impeachment. 😂
Correct!
Hilary Rodham was fired from the Watergate Committee because she was excessively partisan. Given some of the members, and that they would tend to hire staffers more partisan than themselves, one can only wonder how partisan that would be.
Great video! My impression of Bill Clinton just improved dramatically! Biden could never be this gracious!
The only thing Slick Willie said that was believable!
Imagine Trump doing this for Biden! 😮
Trump could never do this for anyone. He is too full of himself to ever praise another human being. I expect that President Biden will say nice words about President Carter and any other former Presidents if they pass.
For Vietnamese people: Nixon is just the name of a dog species in Vietnam, from VN 😮
You think Nixon was a bad President? Ok. That is your right. Tell me though, in these times and political bias aside, pick one of these to lead us this next term if we had to choose between all three in their prime:
Biden
Trump
Nixon
Be honest.
Who would you choose to handle the mess that America has become domestically and in foreign issues?
Be honest.
RIP Richard Nixon.
We could sure use a man like you at your best in office this next go around.
