I'm an American and freely admit that Anwar Sadat is perhaps the bravest politician of my lifetime. 🤔
I could listen to Nixon for hours. I'm a Nixon baby (born 1971).
I was just going to write the same thing. I could listen to this guy all day. How far things have fallen with Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden.
He and kissinger were WAR CRIMINALS and RACISTS of highest order
@@wejnos1America and all the world is more corrupt and dark now
@@wejnos1 All 4 of those nimrods put together could never equate to even just 1/10th of the man that Nixon was. Hell the last time we had a decent president was on January 20th, 1989 when Ronald Reagan left the White House lawn for the very last time as president
Sadat kicked out the Soviets so that they don't claim that Egypt's victory over Israel was planned by the Soviets. It was Egypt's war.
No, He kicked out the Soviets to get rid of the remnants of Nasser’s regime. Also, he was a despicable man for a lot of us Egyptians.
@@yousefabdelmonem3788 I'm Egyptian. What you said is another reason on top of what I mentioned so there's no contradiction.
Sadat kicked the Soviets because Nassir himself told him before he dies to get rid off them in a nearest time because if he did that himself it would be so dangerous because of the situation that he was in back in Aug 1 1970
And Nassir asked him that because they were trying to humaliate him by their weapons during the war of July 1 1967 @@yousefabdelmonem3788
@@yousefabdelmonem3788speak for yourself ,as an Egyptian I confirm that sadaat was the only eligible person among all the presidents we had.
@@yousefabdelmonem3788 He was only despicable in the eyes of ter-orists like you and the ones who assassinated him.
He is our national treasure if not our global treasure.
Sadat knew the risk it took to secure peace & he took that risk upon his life. his blood is a global treasure.
An actual president speaks
President Nixon is Great peace maker and among the rare USA smart president especially due to long vision into the future.
American people and American military are very grateful for the great leadership of president Nixon
Great peacemaker who destroyed Cambodia and Laos without declaring war on them? He’s an interesting, grey person but he’s not a peacemaker…
Sadat paid with his life for his impulses. I had a lot of respect for him.
Kissinger. who served Zionism than USA, played a very cheap role in bluffing Sadat. (See my independent comment)
Sadat is it traitor.
I had much respect for Anwar El Sadat. He just wanted peace in the Middle East. I also have a lot of respect for the late King Hussein of Jordan for making peace with Israel too.
@@davidpage3893 you respect them because they made peace with Israel. When reality you don't even know that these horrible leaders were actually tyrants. By making peace for Israel. The reason why they made peace with Israel because Egypt at one point actually took back the Sinai-Plusena but America threaten them and told him to stop so they decided that they make with peace for Israel to get back to Sinai. Jordan wanted it back The Dead Sea so they decided that you want to make what Israel to split the Dead Sea.
@@davidpage3893 you are in ignorant person who doesn't know anything.
I watch this and I shiver at the idea that Biden and Trump are our choices now.
yeah man its kinda so fuked up no offense
...if only enough voters would remember that they're not forced to pick one of these two evils, America might end up with a good Kennedy. All it takes is enough people not buying into that silly 2-party notion that plagues and divides the nation
Please do not compare Biden with trump.
Incompetence and competence are not equal
@@tomdumb6937You've got to admit listening to Nixon who is articulate and well-educated in history is a sharp contrast from Biden and Trump.
You need to educate yourself on Trump's accomplishments on ushering peace in the Middle East. Everheard of Abraham Accord? Also, he is by far the most courageous POTUS, imho, who stood his ground against the MIC orders.
I am not an American, I am a South East asian. I added this statement because I am fully aware of the TDS caused by msm's anti Trump narratives on so many Americans that many of them have no idea of what Trump did to maintain global peace during his term.
Sadat was a great man
Very intelligent President and great statesman
Brilliant interview with one of America's Finest Presidents. My most heartfelt Thank You to the Producers and Staff of this well edited Video.
Really? Lol
He ended the war in Vietnam opened up relations with china what policy of Nixon's did you not agree with@@teddybearroosevelt1847
very nice, very interesting.. thank you so much for this timely and fond remembrance
I won’t discuss the accusations against him that he was cracking against his political opponents when he was a chairman in HUAC (misused his authority). I also won’t talk about how he was a populist. These are debatable topics. However, spying on Democrats with impunity (Watergate) is something Americans shouldn’t forget that easily.
@@teddybearroosevelt1847
You just showed your ignorance.
Excellent policy position.
Sadat had a sense of vision and being open to change.
Not accurately, he was just managing the matter intelligently, because he realizes that Egypt and the region are in their worst condition historically, and he wanted to buy time so that we can rebuild ourselves. The conflict between us is historical and unfortunately inevitable
I know that he had studied history in his youth and this interest clearly remained with him throughout his life. As a result, his knowledge of other cultures and political systems enabled him to see not only what was in America's interest but also to know what motivated the actions of America's political friends and opponents. In life, his mistakes were apparent. In death, his wisdom and intelligence (thanks in no small measure to the readily apparent inadequacies and lack of knowledge of those seeking high office today) is raising his profile among a younger generation who have been starved of such statesmanship and presence. He deserves to have the record put straight.
Mr Nixon didnt give Sadat enough credit. Whatever Sadat's reasons for seeking peace, he was the ONLY ONE who had DID seek peace on behalf of the Arabs. Sadat is a major historical figure.
Did you listen to anything said in this video?
Yeah, it was more than an impuse that made him seek peace. It actively shifting his mind to the realities of the situation and the best steps foward from those realities
Sadat was a hero. A transformative figure in a way few others were.
One of the last GREATEST AMERICANS.Hats off!
Sadat was open minded due to his love of reading,vice president experience,and all life experience from jail to a truck driver to a fugitive,this was beyond his radical opponents understanding at that time and uptill this day
Good interview. I am not a fan of Nixon because of Watergate, but he did understand foreign policy pretty well. I give credit where it is due.
He was one of your greatest, unlike the crazy corrupt criminal who took his seat. Carter Clintons, Oba-Houssein & and nastyevil, joe your fake current president.
Watergate was exaggerated
@@Thunderchild-gz4gcno it wasnt
Sadly it was not. During Watergate, the president engaged in a massive coverup of the Watergate burglary with his assistants John Ehrlichman, Bob Haldeman, and John Dean. They made an agreement to pay money to the families of the Watergate burglars in exchange for the burglars refusing to tell the authorities that the burglary had been authorized by the Committee to Re-elect the President. Obstruction of justice is a felony and a violation of the federal criminal code. There were plenty of other abuses as well. I give Nixon his due as a brilliant analyst when it came to foreign policy. This does not negate serious wrongdoing on his part. For the sake of our republic it needed to be acknowledged and dealt with.@@Thunderchild-gz4gc
@@Thunderchild-gz4gche was crooked when it came to that. Like any person that was his Achilles Heel
As an Egyptian, I remember when Sadat went out at a conference in Kuwait after the October War, or as the Israelis call it Yom Kippur, and he was asked about the ceasefire. He said that after the destruction of the Israeli Bar Lev line and the failure of the Israeli counterattack, the United States entered the battle directly.. He said that the Egyptian army continued to fight against The forces that came with a direct airlift from the United States for ten days... He said: “I fought America for ten days and I was bleeding... I cannot bear the responsibility for the destruction of the Egyptian army in front of my people, and therefore I agreed to a ceasefire.” He said that the United States entered the war directly, and this was a reason for a ceasefire. Then he said 99% of the game cards were in the hands of Washington, and therefore he moved away from the Soviet Union, which did not support Egypt sufficiently, in his opinion.
Excuses for a military defeat
What defeat?.. Egypt, with modest weapons, crushed the Israelis.. and Golda Meir cried in a call with President Nixon for America to save her.. Egyptians were barely prepared to fight with Israel with a huge difference in armament.. And suddenly we found the United States itself entering the war! Despite this, it was unable to change the equation, and the combat operations ended in 1974 with the first and second dissolution of clashes, Egypt’s controlled the entire Suez Canal, and the failure of the Israeli-American maneuver to push the Egyptian army to withdraw or destroy the Third Field Army.
And in hindsight President Sadat was right. In peace, Egypt received everything it failed to get in war, including all of the Sinai and billions of dollars in economic and military aid from the United States. The countries that sided with the Soviets received nothing but disappointment. Look at Cuba and North Korea.
very nice, but some of that is classified information, do as you wish
Makes sense. He saved the lives of the Egyptian soldiers from certain death. In the peace process he recovered all of Egypt’s lost territory. He rightly recognized the situation and found the best option for his country through it
It would be good if these could be uploaded with the date/interviewer/etc in the description that these smaller clips were taken from so we can find the longer versions
In The Name Of GOD
Mr. President SADAT may GOD give HIM MERCY IN HIS GRAVE. HE is not forgettable.
President Nixon was as Smart as they came. Watergate was his problem.
Dangerously smart!
Very true.lol
Wasn't really his problem.
His mistake was trying to cover it up.
He should have asked the Clintons how to do it
Indeed
So True
Whenever I hear Richard Nixon explain anything I always come away with a picture of a man who knows what is going on in the world. Nixon was a man (whether you agree with him or not) who knew the subject, its history, and the personalities and mindsets of the things 'they' believed in. Unlike the buffoonery we see with our national leaders in this modern day. It's his birthday on the 9th. Had he lived he would be 111.
Nixon was reportedly a voracious reader. He also wrote a few books after his presidency too.
LMAO at the sucking up and a$ kissing….
that was very nice, but there is a handful of poorly conceived points you mentioned? sometimes i'm not sure, but it seems one thing you mentioned was incorrect and something else that would be near simultaneously somewhat hurtful to President Nixon and that he would not stand for, however the term 'buffoon' has varied meaning and is not necessarily always given as the very commonly accepted understanding of an.. insult which implies dramatic clumsiness
@@irkhanbascexPresident Richard Nixon should have been even more voracious, but me say that about everybuddy
yet seemingly so, the President would be very disturbed about the incoming displeasureable perturbances coming from various power centers across the globe, the effect they are having on Americans and the possibility of them disturbing his reading
the offensive strike capability of the United States of America is ready and humming, including the atomic capacity, myself me would suggest an additional 'state of readiness'
Well, they are clumsy. Obama gave all that money to Iran, as did Biden. Biden allows thousands across our border daily. That too is clumsy leadership! More than 30 trillion in debt, all in the past 60 years! That's clumsy! I know the definition, but thanks for pointing out that particular definition.@@oomahuntressprotectress848
Gifted man obviously.
Brilliant analysis
Rest in peace, the great brave man of Egypt. Salutations from long suffering people of lran. Iranians will never forget your help and support for our late sainted king the Shah of lran at the time when the bestly Western governments turned away from him. Friend in need, ffiend indeed.
All the great men of their time, all gone, Nixon, Sadat, Shah Of Iran, Rabin. Look at their replacements now!
Rabin hardly belonged to a pleiad you named, rather Golda Meir and Shimon Peres.
Rabin was pragmatist, Brave and willing to take risks. Much like Sadat. They all paid for their bravery to defy the system in the end.@@borismedovar9968
Every Tel Aviv (the algorithm won't allow that certain state that begins with "I") PM served the will of Lucifer and did their part to move the world towards the chaos planned in the Talmud. From which will arise the ultimate manifestation of evil. The Pax Judaica.
In the old days, politicians had the wisdom and courage to be statesmen sometimes. Nowadays, they are merely empty-headed media shills for their political donors, often with no original ideas of their own.
Don’t be mistaken by the shah. Yes he was democratic-mostly, but he was hated by almost all Iranians. He tried killing Iranian culture and traditions. Protestors, especially students and clergymen, were arrested and often kidnapped if they protested. Iran’s secret agency was terrible, and undermined any possibility of progression in Iran. His social and economic policies destroyed the country, and he modernized the country so fast he angered all traditionalists. Mossadegh sought to fix this problem, and attempted to make Iran a truly independent nation by breaking an oil contract with Britain (British petroleum was controlling the economic industry of Iran). He was, in fact, successful. However, the US and Britain staged a coup and faked protests in an attempt to frame him, and were successful. Mossadegh was arrested and the shah (who was bought out by the West) gained full power of his country and created yet another dynasty (which was completely oligarchical).
Nixon was great and smart. Carter was great and smart, the demiurge of the Camp David Accords.
Such a brilliant Man.
Blessed are the peacemakers.
So blessed is Sadath.

No other president fascinates me more than Richard Nixon. He truly was the master of the art of "Realpolitik"
That's exactly what I've said about him. He had a truly Bismarckian understanding of foreign policy that I've never seen before or since him. He really was a fascinating, fascinating man, and thankfully there's tens of hours of interviews of him on RUclips that have offered me so much insight into him.
Both were great men and politicians .
Above all they were loyal to their friends and suffered because of it .
Sadats brother died n 73 war and he knew what it felt like to lose someone so he made peace n became one of worlds greatest leaders.
May Allah give anwar sadat the highest place in Jannat ameen sum ameen
It encourages me listening to President Nixon. He is always interesting, always logical, always has an analysis, always a gentleman, always a patriot, always an American. An amazing man.
A massive intellect and one of the United States greatest presidents.
Wish there was a a candidate like him today 🙏
I was reading through all of the presidents a few years back and I completely changed my opinion on Nixon. Don't get me wrong he's not the best president we had, but he's definitely not the worst. He has a bad rap from people who don't know anything about history. I always try to educate them when possible.
Nixon was a great President.
Nixon just admitted in this great interview that if not for the US Air lift the Israelis would've been run by Egypt and Syria and that's a huge statement for those who think Israel won the 73 war while infact it was the other way round... RIP both Presidents look where we're at now!!
So many pearls of wisdom - "being pro israel does not mean being anti arab"
*Sadat didn't make peace; he was forced to. The American fleet had threatened to destroy the Egyptian Army.*
Neither Sadat nor Nixon knew their enemies nor did they know how to deal with them. Talk is cheap; actions must be unconquerable. They both were inadequate when dealing with reality.
Betrayal does not need courage
Look at the difference in caliber and intellect of previous US presidents compared to what is happening today.
Sadat was a great man. The war mongers couldn't tolerate him
And that is what happens when you get two intelligent leaders together, peace is the end product which is a thing of the past. AMEN.!
Sadat was your man in Egypt. I know that he believed he did that for Egypt interests but it turned out that only USA, Israel both benifited mainy from peace treaty while in Egypt only the the elite Egyptian rank only took all the benefits while the rest of the Egyptians still suffering and any improvement in their life is minimal
PRESIDENT ANWAR EL SADAT
WAS A HISTORICAL LEADER
IN MIDDLE EAST.
HE WAS A GENERAL, HOWEVER
HIS COURAGE. INTEGRITY. INTELLI'
GENCE FACILITATED A PEACE WITH
ISRAEL.
HIS UNTIMELY PASSING WAS MOURN-
ED AROUND THE WORLD.
HE WAS A TRUE LEADER UNSEEN.
Sadat had a vison for. If not peace coexistence with israel. He was mudered because of that. He is one of the true muslim leaders who really cared about making things work
NIXON
NOW
Yom Kippur!!!😮 History Speaks!!!
My late wife said she actually got to see Sadat in person and ride on his yacht! No fooling! (she was with her first husband in Egypt at the time) And I explained to her how he was most famous for him and his country for being the first Arab country to recognize Israel as a legit country. But to paraphrase that one line from Sound of Music, a lot of his fellow Arab leaders insisted that Israel should NOT be recognized as a legit country and they were VERY mad at Sadat for not thinking so!
We're just getting this 45 years later?
Better late than never, and still relevant
❤❤❤
Our most complicated president.
FOUR MORE YEARS!!! ✌️ ✌️
😁
He had acute low self-esteem....he turned a win into defeat.
Why didn’t he burn those tapes?
RIP both with the Shah of Iran❤️❤️❤️
We need somebody like Nixon now in the White House I've always blamed Morley safer for Sadat's death but it could be bigger than that
❤
How it pay off if he lose his life to risk peace? Who helped back up; cover him and his risks?
Nothing stopped Sadat from war and accepting the Security Council resolution except the failure of the Arabs to send sufficient support to complete the war and the Soviet Union’s stinginess in giving us advanced offensive weapons. However, we won with old weapons from the era of World War II and beyond, but we gave Israel a lesson that they will never forget, even to this day.
The native Americans had a set chief and only went to the sprit man through there way of doin things and there were thousands of tribes living together in peace and harmony untill the immigrants from England on the mayflower showed up the way i see this thing is we are no worse than Hitler
This is the century of exposure of the far left and the far right to make them meet in the middle of the eagle it has been told it is this moment is when the eagle our contry puts the eagle back together
Suez canal where is it?
Rip
Sadat sacrificed himself for peace ✌️. Too bad no polticians can do this today.
Sadat was waiting for Rommel in WW2 to push out the British .
I am surprised at what he has to say, looks like he was thrown under the bus by the elites and big money.
Sadat had no choice but to make peace in order to get the Sinai back. He certainly wasn't the first to seek peace with Israel. King Abdullah of Jordan had done so decades earlier and was killed for it. President Bourguiba of Tunisia had for many years urged other countries in the region to make peace with Israel at a time when Sadat was one of President Nasser's men.
No peace can be achieved without justice, and Israel needs to face that. Sadat tried to take a shortcut and paid the price.
Sadat died for Peace.
Blessed are the peacemakers, they shall be called children of God.

peace only btw balanced or equal power but in this case it’s not
Nixon can not say everything even when he was out of power. The role of Kissinger in throwing him out of power needs an inquest. An Egyptian ambassador to USA thought of meeting Nixon while retired. This was in Arabic by RT TV (where then all their interviews and site were deleted by youtube. ) However I have a short clip from that interview. Nixon told the amasador that he told PM of Israel that she will get help but he wants this conflict to be resolved once and overall. However Kissinger manipulated all this and avoided discussing the whole issue with Soviets like Nixon wanted. What happened thereafter in the Middle East and till Kissinger death proves that he was abusing USA power to service the British / Israel than being loyal to USA.
I hope someone will translated this Arabic video to English
ruclips.net/video/lFNlFjb1rpM/видео.htmlsi=K1lswutTZH7IC3ME
that's not a valid reason for an inquest, but so it is
we can churn up some valid reasons for an inquest of this place if the desire to have such here is present
R.I.P. Sadat. The only arab leader to have defeated and crushed the Israeli army ending in 1974 the war with the Israeli army nearly surrounded near the devesoir area and retreating as per Egypt’s instructions in the 2nd ceasefire deadline.
He sold the sovereignty of Egypt 🇪🇬 for Zero 0️⃣ value
A layer of
It is a pity that since the assassination of Rabin Israeli leaders do not have the special courage to move on to the next part of the peace process. Sadat went to Jerusalem in the hope & under the condition that Israel would come to an arrangement with the Palestinians. After his death there was nobody to remind the West that Israel is not doing what it promised.
Actually, the USA and Israel didn't take Sadat's vision of peace seriously. After decades, the situation became more complicated, and Israel expanded more during those decades. From what I understand, Abdel Al Nasser understands the mentality of Israel, and he knows the only way is to face them, whatever the cost to Egypt, because Israel divides the region. Because Abdel Al Nasser really understood the USA and Israel, he took the Suez Canal from the British, which eventually caused really big damage to Egypt's economy at this time, but he did it, gaining Egypt's independence for the first time since 1882. I think Sadat made the worst political decision in the history of Egypt; he didn't believe in his people and took the decision individually.
He never took risks for the fame of peace maker
He is not but only a traitor
😂 the dumbest president in the history of the world Nixon is saying that Sadat wasn’t particularly “sophisticated” is such a Steve Ballmer iPhone moment
There are very huge problems here ive never had any problems with a russian citizen as matter of fact they are very faithful in god
Sadat paid a heavy price for his visit to Jerusalem. He was assassinated.
Did people forget why Nixon had to step down. Wiring !
Nixon was hounded out by a well-orchestrated media witch hunt. What he was accused of was trivial in comparison to the epic crimes done by his accusers AFTER he resigned.
It doesn't take much intelligence to find out who has been running the Establishment Media for over a century and what their motives are. But, then again, we're talking about the American Sheeple so, even that is asking a bit much.
The peace between Egypt and Israel is generally regarded as a good thing, but some view it as a desertion of the Palestinians.
Anwar Al Sadat was the best Egyptian president ever 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
Iseral will always be protected
You need it after the holocaust but you need to be careful times can change quickly,having enemies ready to punch at the 1st of trouble is terrorizing to jews
Wow. He is far superior to the politicians of today. However, his intellect & possible arrogance about it were his downfall. He lack the character of a lesser intellectual of Ronald Reagan.
Sadat recovered Egypt’s national pride and exposed Israel as an international punk.
Throw around slander. Israel is a democracy. Egypt is a dictatorship.
Sadat is most famous for being the first Arab Muslim leader who made peace with Israel. Then got assassinated by his own bodyguard.
Great acknowledgement of Israel.
Who cares what the government structure is. Israel operates like a common neighborhood bully. They pick on easy targets like noncombatants and outgunned foreign militaries. They would be nowhere without US help. Egypt’s recovery from the 1967 disaster was legendary. They proved the value of preparation and determination. They stood up to the monster and it backed down.
Read Sadat’s autobiography. One of the best of its kind. It will broaden your perspective.
@@alexplotkin3368 Israel is a fake democracy. Just because a country holds elections proves nothing. They are a classic tyranny and rogue state.
Sadat was bluffed by Kissinger who is the main parameter in degrading USA to serve the British and Israel than USA
Sadat tried to be peaceful with America and Israel. His enemies were vengeful and hateful. His death hurt Egypt and the Middle East.
Maybe Zelensky should learn and have some courage to go to speak with Putin and have an agreement
Speak with his ageessor make concessions and give up land after the loss of so many lives?
If he gives in, Russia will always ask for more
Egypt is a weak sycophantic colony thanks to Sadat.
1:07 King Faisal the only greatest king of Saudi 😁
Risk for peace my a))
Kneeling down to the colonizers to get back his occupied land.
And he was far more sophisticated than you btw.
Egyptians don't view it that way. More like a waste of opportunities i would say
Back in the day when SERIOUS minded men were President.
Sadat was killed due to his contradictory decisions.
