It's so refreshing to hear about human connections instead of platitudes
Although it is the human connection between murdering thugs

Richard Nixon was EXTRAORDINARILY intelligent and well-spoken. He was such a thoughtful and articulate man that even Kennedy respected him greatly.
He was dangerous, calculating, and cunning. He was very intelligent but deadly efficient.
Nixon was complaining that the Jews Zionists are all over the place !!! And the rest is history !!
He gave the best quotes
he wash honest about the scum who run America behind the scenes ,instead of being a grovelling dog to them
Nixon and JFK were drinking buddies and friends, partially from their US Navy and World War 2 experience in the Pacific. That all ended when each decided to run for president.
I got a letter of gratitude from President Nixon for my service to America.
Nixon was a good guy that day.
We did not agree however at JFK’s funeral he was a Statesman!
Hopefully he is in Heaven.

Yea, it's a real shame, in the late 70's thing's were looking so hopeful in the middle east, then Sadat was murdered and right afterwards thing's just went completely sideways in Lebanon also, and it's just gotten progressively worse ever since.
But for a few years it really did look like there was a chance for lasting peace in the middle east, what a shame.
@@dukecraig2402 Israel couldn't become who they are Today if there was a strong and stable Middle East as was possible in the 1970's
Sadat was courageous, he lost his life for making peace with Israel.
And criticizing Khomeini
Sadat was a sellout.
@@arash8761 For what? Wanting peace in the middle east? Or just because you say so?
He literally was installed by the Americans via the assassination of Nasser, who pursued an independent foreign policy. Then Sadat became an American lackey (like the Shah) and Egypt has been a shadow of its former self ever since. The main actor who has created war in the middle east has been the US and Israel. The borders of "Greater Israel" are from the Nile to the Euphrates, which means that they will always be at war until they genocide everyone in those areas. So by having "peace" with Israel, he actually strengthened the hands of the war-makers and created more wars. The invasion of Iraq and Libya, of Afghanistan, the intervention and occupation in Syria, etc. And of course the creation of Al Qaeda and ISIS, all come from US and Israel. So the only way you can have peace is with the expulsion of all US troops, through peaceful or forceful means, as well as the elimination of Zionism as an ideology.@@rickallen1908

Nixon was a scumbag.

"It isn't courageous to stand up for a friend." Great words from one man to another who both deserved more respect than they received.
Definitely, and you deserve praise for your comment.
Richard Nixon had people break into the DNC center and tried to wire tap phones and steal important documents then tried to cover up his involvement in it. Zero respect for him.
One was a ruthless dictator, the other a man who committed treason to get elected (he colluded with the South Vietnamese to sabotage peace talks with Hanoi), who made friends with genocidal dictators around the world (Notably Pakistans Yaya Khan, who committed a genocide in Bangladesh).
🤡
Nixon is easily top 3 in the worst presidents we've ever had, but ok sure.
Nixon is such an eloquent and thoughtful speaker. A dignified man.
He was a crook and one of the worst presidents. He was impeached u numbnut.
🤮 a simpelton
No US president speak like Nixon to Reagan, and US lost respect after Bush, and become laughing stock in Trump to Biden era, unlike ni Nixon especially international law, Geneva convention and human right because cover up Israel to much.
His dignity was quite impeachable. American's need for idealizations of crooked people is never ending story about falsifying the history.

Well said.
When I was a kid in the 60s and 70s, people of Nixon's generation were still around in vast numbers and were really in their prime of life and they were running things, and it was infinitely better. Their wisdom and strength and trial by fire made them truly the greatest generation. Their kids - the Boomers - got their hands on the wheel and have since ruined everything like a bunch of spoiled teenagers
the media and comedians of the time eviscerated him, that set the culture for the next 2 generations. It's great to see the true Nixon back in the light.
No, it's because things have gotten so much worse. He NOW seems like a moderate genius compared to the sad puppets we've had since.
As I sit here listening to this insightful man speak so eloquently on so many major political events from the past. I can't help but think of all the trash the media and Hollywood has said about him...
Rippin on Republicans has been the game plan of the commy DNC and MSM for my entire life. Why I have never voted blue in my lifetime, and I am proud to admit it to anyone!
use to see Nixon at met games at Shea stadium after he was president he was always THERE by himself ❤
My father always liked Richard Nixon. He clearly was one of the most intelligent presidents in the twentieth century. That being said, his story is still a cautionary tale to the immensely talented. If you don't deal with your insecurities, they will undermine your talent.
That is if you believe the official narrative about Nixon
Absolutely. Nixon, like leaders before him, sniffed his own farts.
That was well said.
Maybe you should reread the facts around the incidents of the time, blocking out the narrative pushed out by DC insiders and spread by the MSM.
Nixon wasn't involved in the break-in by DC party operatives, and was taken down by the advice he was given by DC party operatives.
They set him up
Nixon, Sadat, the Shah-hanshah... it's necessary for us to hear these anecdotes so we will know the truth of this history. And it's equally important to realize the utter humanity of these men.
This alas is a pure fabrication. Google the history of Iran before America and England replaced the elected government of Iran with the corrupt and criminal Shah and his vicious, murderous police force the SAVAK. You will discover the real reason we are known as The Great Satan.
We Iranians will always remember the kindness of president Nixon ❤

I don't care what anyone says about President Nixon, I believe he was one of the USA's Greatest Presidents and I remember him well.
I only really disagreed with him on opening the door to China to a favored trade status, and taking us off of the Gold Standard; which led to endless borrowing, unbacked printing of currency, and the inevitable inflation that they create.
@@dcorman At the time President Nixon thought it was the right thing to do, not knowing where and what they would lead to. One has to remember that Presidents have advisors that guide them and sometimes the guidance is incorrect as the advisors sometimes have ulterior motives behind the advise they give.
💯 he was a good president but the Zionists disliked him because they wanted to lead the country google dear and you’ll find out why
And rightfully yes he was a good president that filled his presidential chair May he rest in peace
Absolutely, on my 18th birthday, I went to vote for Nixon. They denied me and sent me to get permission from the Supreme Courthouse. I went and got it and voted for President Nixon. Yes, I did, I was so proud.

Proud to have cast my first vote at 18 years old for Nixon in 1972. Always thought he was a very good President. ❤
Ditto! Graduated in ‘69, so didn’t get to vote Democrat as I then had desired. Thank God. Would have ruined my chance to say “I have NEVER ONCE voted for a Democrat. In ‘72 I couldn’t vote for Nixon fast enough.
And as our country continues to unravel at the seams, thanks to the present malfeasance of the UniParty, Nixon looks better and better every time he speaks. Such an intelligent, and I think basically decent, man. Although the “news” media turned him into a devil. The same media that rendered Obama into a genius.
Busy rewriting history are you?
Me too!! My first presidential election!
All those kids who died in Viet Nam will thank you, from Hell, I'm sure
Nixon was a freakin genius and could communicate 1000x better than today's politicians.
I do remember how well he communicated. However, he was also so paranoid that he allowed the Watergate break-in that doomed his presidency.
@@donchampagne6211 Paranoia is defined as an "unreasonable fear" of something. A *reasonable* fear is not paranoia.
Example, being afraid of a cobra is not paranoia. It can and will kill you if you get too close.
Nixon had a lot of enemies, and my argument is that his fears were not unfounded. In fact, Watergate proved him correct: it was a scandal largely manufactured by his enemies to get rid of him.
Think about it; how bad was "Watergate" really? All it was was three members of Nixon's greater team broke into an office and stole some files. A crime to be sure, but not as serious as many, many other crimes we see in politics.
Now here is the very, very, important part: Nixon was not involved. Nixon did not order the break in. He wasn't even aware of it. These people broke into the office on their own volition.
How do we know this? Because the entire scandal...the ENTIRE investigation...was about whether Nixon tried to cover it up, not if he ordered it. The phrase heard constantly in the media was, "what did he know and when did he know it?", not "did he order it?"
At the very, very, very worst Nixon was guilty of trying to cover the event up and hiding it from the press as much as he could. The 17 minutes of missing tape that people talk about was about Nixon talking to his staff (potentially) about damage control. No one even accused him of ordering the break ins.
Compare this "scandal" to today's scandals.
Benghazi: intelligence ignored that got U.S. personnel killed.
Fast and Furious: gun running to Mexican Drug cartels that got people (including a U.S. Border Patrol agent) killed.
White Water: massive insider trading scam that enriched politicians.
"China Gate" Clinton Administration where Top Secret national security missile guidance technology was transferred to the Chinese.
I could go on...but compare that to Watergate: a few guys break into an office, steal some paper, get caught, do not resist arrest and the President didn't even know about it at the time.
Nothingburger scandal completely blown way out of proportion by Nixon's enemies.
Now, was he really "paranoid"?
Yes, because now the NSA can do that to anyone at the touch of a button and quietly.
Very
Quietly.
And u know crap about the shah.
@@baberRuth I know he was much, much, MUCH better than the Islamic lunatics that took over.
Whatever his flaws...Nixon's intelligence and understanding of the human condition... And the way he communicates that understanding... is endlessly fascinating and impressive...
Facts man.

I can see why Alex P. Keaton idolized the man (Nixon).
@@briantrudell8248facts are hard to find
Let's not forget Nixon's warnings about the news media's unlimited power.
God rest President Nixon’s soul!
He was a decent man and a loyal friend!
Nixon was a war hero. He survived an attack on his limousine in Venasula. That turned him into what people learned to hate. He really was an intelligent man in his own way. But like most people, they focus on what they hate .
Nixon was a criminal. Period!
The democrats lied about him like now.
Irrespective of Nixon's good points, there is no record of him being a war hero. Please be specific.
President Nixon was brilliant, a respected world statesman.
Nixon was a scumbag.
Are we talking about the same guy who made a deal with the North Vietnamese to end the war once he got elected then once he did continued the war until an eventual withdrawal of us troops 6 years later?? Is this the same guy who authorized the bombing of Cambodia and Laos? Is the same guy who authorized the Watergate breakin to get dirt on the Democrats to win the 1972 election??
Dirt bag
True, but he will never rank with our greatest Presidents because he permitted the incompetent break-in at the Democrats' Watergate offices.
It was a kind and honourable thing that Nixon did when he attended the Shah's funeral.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻
Why? The Shaw was a puppet of the US installed in a CIA coup. He was also a evil dictator. Nixon was a corrupt criminal, and war criminal. They both can rot in hell.
🤢🤮
STUPID AND BRAINLESS INFLUENCE,
WHY AMERICA DID NOT ADOPTED THIS PUPPET IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD ?
Why? The Shah was a dictator who replaced a democratically elected government.
These snippets of President Nixon bring me to tears. This vignet in particular, since I had studied Persian history intensely.
I'm proud to say I always admired Nixon as a young girl when it wasn't a popular thing to do!! I didn't care what others thought because I saw greatness in him and intelligence
Al Capone was "great" and "intelligent". Yet...
I really learned to appreciate Nixon after visiting his library. So much history
Same here.
Can't wait to visit the Trump Presidential Library too. You know, the adult book store lit up with his name! 😉😁😂
So you went to a museum whose sole purpose is to glorify him.
@@derpeth2101just like as for the other former POTUS.
The reaction of world leaders when the Shah was diagnosed with a fatal illness and sought sanctuary, was shameful. He was no angel, but he was a reliable and valuable ally of the United States. And note what happened to his country after he was forced out. We're suffering the consequences to this day.
Keep in mind that we deposed the ruling government before the Shah. They would not let the US drill for oil. The Shah was then inserted as ruler.

This is what moves history. I remember Nixon. Never cared for him on a domestic or personal level. But there’s no denying his impact on international relations, and there’s no doubt about his intelligence and abilities there. I wish it had ended differently for him.
It would have ended differently if his true character wasn't so paranoid and corrupt!
He is an exceptional speaker. And he doesnt need a teleprompter or queue cards.
I met Richard Nixon and i left that meeting thinking i had met a gentleman and statesman.
He was a world dignitary! Total opposite from what we have had with the last two democrat presidents that could not even perform at their job competently!
The discernment in this one is ZERO!!! 😎
He was a skilled diplomat but a deeply flawed human being.
Never liked the guy when he was president, but I cannot deny how articulate and intelligent he was.
But was your perception of Nixon engineered by the intellectuals and the mainstream media? It seem that Nixon was another outsider like Trump, and was equally despised by the aristocracy of the USA for it. Watergate was like the Russia hoax, except it succeeded.
"Articulate" liar. Kudos... smh
Very misunderstood.
USA desperately need someone like Nixon,right now...
I agree with the spirit of what you’re saying, but I don’t agree with the statement. I know what you mean by it, so this isn’t an attack!
I think that we need someone that’s not like any president we’ve had. We are in a different place now than we’ve ever been. I wouldn’t say it’s negative or positive… Just different. One of the things that I’ve always loved about the US is that - With the freedoms that we’ve been granted, we’re able to make our country what we believe it can be. I think that with all of the rapid development of technology and access to information, we’ve forgotten what it is to think as selflessly and independently as previous generations. They weren’t in their phones and making posts about themselves. They had a knack for pointing out what they believed America needed as a whole, and going after it. We don’t do a ton of things that they used to! But you know what?… that’s okay. I think we’ve come so incredibly far for such a young country. I also think that there are a lot of things we can do better. But that’s the point. We try to identify things that are wrong, and we fix them. We need a leader (or multiple leaders) that understand the fact that we rely on our country’s past accomplishments and transgressions to find new ways to improve our way of life. But if a country is going to do that, I have to believe and hope it’s us!
Mr. President Nixon , I don't know how many million have missed to say , and to recognize your honor as the greatest President, and US leader.❤
Man Nixon was right on so many things… supported the shah over the Islamist extremists, supported closer relations with the Chinese, wanted out of the Vietnam war, saw the flaws of both Israel and Palestine but knew we had to support the only country that doesn’t hate us there. And so many more I can’t list because i didn’t have the privilege to live through his administration.
Shah over Islamist extremists????
The Shah was a son of a prime minister of the constitutional monarchy of Iran then his father overthrew the former shah and started the last monarchy
To give Nixon credit for going to a US puppet's funeral is clapping with one hand
Lol. I did. And later I worked with the men that put him there. He was an enormous ego that would do almost anything to have as much power as possible. That's why he worked with monsters like the shah and Kissinger. Convenient he had Egypt to dump Pahlavi on.
The corrupt Shah is why the corrupt Islamic extremists rose to power. Dicks like Nixon helped that happen.
There was no democracy during shah’s regime why we have to flip flop on our principles just for our convenience
Years ago in Roanoke, Va, I repaired a car for some neighbors who were from Iran. Afterwards they invited me for a fish rice and yogurt Extremely nice young men.

@davidrice3337 I don't, but have never been treated badly by those of the Muslim faith and how they treat me, a person of the Book.

Both the Shah and Sadat were better than him.

It is so refreshing to listen to a thoughtful, intelligent, coherent president and statesman speak and not toss off gaslighting one-liners while meandering away aimlessly.
And it seems to me from this interview that if he was asked hard questions he would actually think and answer rather than dodge them.
He did some things wrong, got caught, admitted them, and stepped down like an honorable man, but his wrongdoings ain't nothing compared to the current occupant.
I genuinely love this man. What a dump the media took on him.
It would be more accurate to say a well deserved Washington Post expose by the reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the Nixon attempt at subterfuge to stay in power for a second term which was the notorious Watergate story.
Then there was the Watergate papers brought to light by Daniel Ellsberg which revealed the expansion of the war by Nixon which includes the bombing of Laos and Cambodia.
I too admire many of his traits, but he doomed his own Presidency by permitting the break-in at the Democratic Headquarters in the Watergate complex. I don't recall the media being unkind to him.
Truly a great president, great man
It's astonishing how much higher the bar for articulation was for our leaders.
The tears and the heart break of Shah would never be forgotten in our history,as well as in our hearts.
Watergate is like taking a penny compared to what goes on today. I'd take Richard Nixon back in a second.
Sorry, I don't buy that. "What goes on today" that is more egregious than the Watergate break-in?
Watergate was the price Nixon pay for stopping the war the democrats started , Vietnam , they set him up really good , he did not need to know that , they involved him and he fall for it

What goes on today absolutely is more more egregious than Watergate. Not even a contest.
RMN understood what was truly important and was able to endure the ups and downs of life. He came back from the dead politically to be elected and reelected President.
President Nixon was a great story teller.
You mean a masterful liar.
I am from Bangladesh, and you will never be forgiven for the horror and terrors you allowed to be unleashed.
I'm glad to see that history has treated him well.
Nixon was really reborn. Kudos to him.
Both Nixon and Sadat. Among the most intelligent and courageous leaders of the second half of the 20th century. Much respect and admiration for both of them.
I've always liked Nixon the man, anytime I've heard him recount anoctdotes, they are always about courage, and as a coward I appreciate that.
Absolutely the best. Bought his memoir, turns out its over 1000 pages... A lot of work but it will be virtuous and good.
"Courageous sir? It isn't courageous to stand up for a friend."
The sage dialogue of former President Richard M. Nixon..

Garbage
All I ever heard about the the shah was how ruthless he was with his enemies. It caused this country a lot of pain to let him him in starting with the taking of hostages in 1978
Nixon’s knowledge of international relations was unparalleled. As was his fondness of coverups equally unrivaled
As an Iranian, you gotta love Nixon ❤
F Nixon
Why? The Shah was installed as a dictator after a CIA backed coup against Irans democratically elected government, leading to the eventual overthrow by the Islamic state. I’m not saying the Shah was all bad, but he wasn’t installed out of “friendship”.
😂😂😂😂
Usually when the US US installs a dictator, they disown them after they’ve served their purpose. Good old, loyal Nixon.
😭🤦♂️
I remember when Sadat was murdered by the Ayatollah Khomeini‘s henchman, back in 1981
That line is like something you would see in the movies!
Loyalty is important. Honesty, Integrity, and Loyalty are all essential, like a three fold connection, which strengthens the unity.
