A president speaking coherently. What a surprise.
It’s been a while since ovsma
@@CheeseEater-mi5nbHe spoke well, but said nothing and had no idea about anything! I assume you meant Obama!!
He's also actually sitting in a real chair!
Are you a cannibal jack?
And Nixon ain't orange spray-tanned, either. And Nixon certainly would have defended Japan. Trump? He'd try to give to his love letter pal Kim Jong Un.
Where is journalism like this now ? Simple straight forward questions with honest amswers.
They were lying to us back then! What are you talking about? 🤷
@@markfrank5937 I'm not implying all was truthful. But you had a better chance at honest reporting and or neutral reporting. I dont think the stranglehold of the intelligence agencies was as solid and throughout as today. I Also don't think Nixon was nearly as bad as the liberals writing history has lead us to believe.
@@jc7997aj if you look how news was reported about minority neighborhoods, that shit was a lie back then, just like it is now. Same goes for world news. A lot of evil shit has been done (or backed) by the US that the media just ignored (or whitewashed), and this is why a lot of history that is brought up (from those eras) isn't believed by those who lived during the time.
nevermind the journalist, the politicians these days can even give u a straight answers. the spokespersons even worse.
@@johnnylabu765 politicians could lie back in the day, and didn't have to worry about the Internet or media putting out certain information. Remember, this is when the "War on drugs" stared. 🤷
My goodness. I had forgotten how much more intelligent and articulate politicians were back in the day.
Prophetic. And not above. The. Law
And journalism
Also Americans were alot smarter than too so the Americans can actually understand the complex speech of those days. Today, we're so dumb we need to be talked to like children. Sadly it's true. 1 wrong word, we get all upset and angry over a fucking word. Sad reality it is.
@@electricfuneral8456 well that’s been accomplished by the efforts of the government/cia …
Thing is, Nixon wasn't a politician 😅
I believed many people have taken Nixon's intelligence and advices for granted.
Nixon got so underrated because of Watergate.
Somehow, many generations after him have gone back to dig his words and found gold.
HIs administration had a terrible effect to our economy.
@@Sendlopalexactly! Why are we the only two people talking about that in this entire comment section?
@@Sendlopal You seem to forget the burning hot ball of shit that McNamara and Johnson dumped on him. He volunteered to step into a very bad situation.
My Dad who loosely followed politics back then, said the general understanding was that Nixon was ok with domestic issues, but a genius with foreign policy.
His Domestic policy was uh not great. Foreign Policy though don’t underestimate Richard Milhouse Nixon. Ask the Vietnamese.
He was brilliant when it came to foreign policies, but I thought his domestic policies were innovative as well. Many progressive policies got passed.
@@castlearghhh6023 he ripped the Vietnamese a new asshole. In the end though, we were the ass ho
@@trucking604mmhmm
@diegomagellan What a brilliant, well thought out point you added. I think I learned more reading your comment than I could have reading a Ph.D thesis.
Nixon was a lot smarter than people give him credit for.
Nixon knew stuff he was not suppose to know. They had him removed and did him ugly ever since.
He certainly was and coupled South Kissinger made a formidable duo.
You think so after what he was charge for...
He was a manipulative psychopath
I don’t think it was ever his intelligence that was questioned. But Watergate, and in retrospect, some of his decisions in office, overshadow his brilliance.
When it comes to foreign policy, Nixon is the master strategist.
The Russians play defense to win like in Chess. The Japanese play the long game, 500 year planning. The Chinese have manpower, tradition, a very long history, Capitalism and Socialism, and one language.
Nixon framed by C EYE A
Lol yea If you think president is actually in charge
People from Laos combodia Bangladesh and India disagree with you. Just look up history this guy is single-handedly responsible for enmity between many Asian countries and USA. He the reason India is very hesitant to become US Ally.
@@mrstylestatus3407 Nixon is the one who improved relation with China. September 1972 He had a joint meeting with Japan and China, Mao Zedong and Kakuei Tanaka...if you want to discuss history. Not so much for India, so you're right there.
*_This man is pure genius. There really aren't any more genius politicians and presidents like him anywhere in the world. Not just in America. There aren't any great leaders like him left in the world._*
I think I'm officially addicted to these shorts. President Nixon was an intelligent man, there's no question about that. A complex and fascinating individual.
Same here, he sounds fantastic 50 years on!
Was just texting a buddy and telling him how my grandpa who was in his 50's during Nixon's terms. He always told me that Nixon was extremely intelligent with an excellent grasp of how the real world operates.
These shorts are fascinating to me as well.
Me too. I wish I could have open conversation with him. His ability to articulate his thoughts is impressive and infectious
Dude same
When you compare Nixon's intellect with Trump what do you think?
My history teacher used to always talk about how smart Nixon was and how presidents after him would go to Nixon for advice and after watching several interviews with Nixon I understand. He was very intelligent and strategic, even down to how he formulates his sentences. Makes you wonder what would’ve happened had watergate not occurred.
It's crazy too cause Watergate is like the shittiest operation ever. Like, yeah, the misuse of presidental power was egregious to cover up the break in. But the break in itself? Damaged a lock on the building, damaged a singular filing cabinet and tried to put the shittest lipstick microphone IN A SAFE 😂 That's literally it, he lost the presidency trying to cover up "bevus and butthead go to watergate" 😂
Watergate Gate...
Watch us look back at Trump like this.
@@woolseyaquatics7749exactly
@woolseyaquatics7749 Not likely. Nixon knew more about the job than anyone. He was Eisenhower's VP for 8 years. He had no power as VP, but he had access to all the world leaders for those 8 years. He should not have gone to Dallas to watch .... you know... on November 22, 1963.
Note how he maintains eye contact with his inquisitor. He is confident that he is in command of the subject matter, and rightly so.
Like Kamala
What about what the content of what he is saying
I don't think I ever saw Obama look into the camera once.
Yup. That command led 48 of his staffers into prison. Sweet, eh?
"Inquisitor" 😂 oh, get a grip.. the distance gives no choice.
It’s hard to believe the magnitude of in-fighting occurring between our legislative parties since Richard Nixon‘s resignation, . This video demonstrates President Richard Nixon’s intelligence and forward thinking ability.
Nixon would've made a great radio personality, his voice was on par with the top people with beautiful voices who did it
I thought the same thing. He sounds suspiciously like Steve Harvey. Lol
@@Miked1332 Walter Cronkite lol
I am not a , CROOK!
when jfk and nixon had there debate most of the radio audience felt that nixon came out on top but the television audience overwhelming thought jfk won. nixon cant help his smug know it all body language. he personally may not be like that but his body language is
Or cartoons
I don’t hear any “gotcha” questions - and I do hear a President on top of his geopolitics.
He was well informed. Gotcha questions only work on idiots. Name a gotcha question where the subject wasn’t a dimwit or a phony?
Biggly. “Jeffrey is a great guy and I hear he likes em young”
That all started because of Obama
This Nixon moment in 2024 is so beautiful. Salutations fellow Nixonites.

" I am not a crook." - Nixon 1973 😂😂😂😂
Silly. CHINA HAS A HIGHER GDP than Japan. People get on social media and just say anything.
@@MrBeen992if you think Nixon is a crook I’m sure you agree Biden has been the most cooked president in history. When vice president he got his son to take air force 2 to China and Ukraine and amassed a wealth of over 40 million dollars just from those two. Then he’s the first president to use legal warfare against a former president and the one who’s going to beat him. Also with the Supreme Court ruling the president cannot be charged for anything while acting in official capacity. Bidens lucky that ruling came down because he’d be in jail once he’s out. I’m sure you agree with that right? O wait of course not your gonna vote for someone with full blown dementia again
We need to add several faces to Mt Rushmore.
1) Nixon
2) Reagan
3) Trump
&
4) Joe McCarthy for trying to shut down the marxist communist party in USA in the 1950's.
He may have been involved in one of the biggest political scandals in the US, but my god he talks sense and sounds like a president an educated president should sound. Where an earth are these types of leaders these days.
Oh sure, let's forgive major crimes because 'he sounds good'.
@@DeltaZodiac Not nearly as big as Biden , Clinton, Obama all of them belong in jail!
Notice how eloquent and informed he is?
A blithering fool he’s not.
he was the president lol what do you wait ?
@@elgolfa Considering Biden, i think is a normal tought to have right now (por cierto tu nombre de perfil me hizo reir😂)
Yeah, very informed, should I remind you where Japan's economy is now and where China's?
@@johnnyramone8051our restrictions on trade with Japan (Tariffs) and the fact that Nixon opened the door to relations with China are largely responsible for that shift. I don't think he anticipated what he had started.
If this interview took place today, the interviewer would have interrupted him at least five times throughout the span of this.
No, the president would’ve dodged every fucking question
He would have went on a rant against McGovern for 15 minutes when asked about the budget 😂
The interviewer would ask him stupid, pointless questions like “who is his favorite avenger” or “are you aware of this tik tok dance?”. All while the president dodges answering any meaningful question about foreign or domestic affairs
@@zachsmith4353 Can you imagine if they tried to ask Nixon a question like that? 😂 He would have been like "what the fuck are you talking about?"
I’m probably asking him some questions about his daughter or the woke community or some stupid bullshit and getting away with it too
It’s absolutely insane how highly economists estimated the Japanese economy back in the day. From projections of becoming the world’s leading economy, to stagnation that has kept it floating around 4T USD for years.
Same thing they're doing today with China, which will follow the same results. Albeit, China ascended far higher than Japan and is the only country that has achieved "near peer" status to the US
@@codybell6882You’re comparing a nation with zero real power or influence, and little to no natural resources, to a continental power of 1.4 billion people, please.
Plaza accord(US) is what crippled the Japanese economy
Tip: Guess who is the winner of the plaza accord
😂
That was before USA crippled Japan intentionally with plaza accord, tariffs and trade war.
Unlike Japan, China isn't an occupied US vassal state.
USA forced Japan to sign plaza accords to inflate their currency which crippled their exports, USA tariffed their shit to hell, and forced Japan to kill their semiconductor and electronics industries, car industries, even forced Japan to agree that it had to buy American electronics and semiconductors etc. killed Toshiba, Panasonic etc.
They are trying to do all the same things to China but China isn't Japan and isn't going to agree. China isn't going to let usa kill Huawei or its industries.
Massive difference.
Nixon was a brilliant president....spoke truth.
He was wrong with his predictions though because Japan has declined a lot GNP-wise and is in real trouble now and he didn't foresee (like most people) the sudden collapse of the Soviet Union. He also underestimated the growth of China.
Japan is a great close ally and our foothold into the region. He was right for a little while. But he probably didn’t expect America to prop China up these last couple decades, we literally built our own greatest enemy. We should also be friends with Russia by now. But yeah, the reason Nixon is suddenly so popular right now is because it turns out there’s a lot of things he was right about and he was more interesting than we realized.
@CarstenVsTheMarket you say as if you did it with a sense of altruism. Try pulling all your investments and see what happens.
Russia IS NOT China's Buddy😉
ah no like ur existence
True 👌🏾
Then and now:

The most under rated President in History. The man knew the world.
Such an overrated thing to say, the fool succumbed to losing a war but the real dumb ape was LBJ for starting it in the first place
Mmmno, a very accurately rated man.
Bullshit!
Yeah he was better than most people realize.
I didn't care for him until i really looked into what he accomplished.
They didnt like what he said about Bohemian Grove 😂
I miss when the president sounded like my dad and not like my drunk uncle or senile granddad... 😢
saying this as a centre-left, Nixon is one of the most intelligent and respected presidents in US history
As a capitalistic libertarian, I agree.
remember this was from 1970s but remain largely relevant and correct except some historical and economic contextual differences. Crux is for us to remember that USA and the West allowed and help Red china to grow economically (e.g. providing tech know how , open up markets, allowed china to join WTO etc) to exceed japan (-- largely helped via china's massive populations size as world manufactory factory ) , BUT once if West and USA largely decouple or de-risk from Commie China, the economic might of China of late 2010s/ early 2020s WILL BE NO MORE.
while Japan's context mentioned here remain largely the SAME and japan is now walking out of their economic slowdown since late 1990s.
oh... and 1 more key difference, Russia then was part of the gigantic "USSR" , which ukraine and 10 plus more states were part of all, which allowed USSR to be much more capable in allocating and sharing resources and tech capabilities amongst the member states but this is NO MORE, Russia while still large , is no match in all the scary massive weapons and resources (including HUMAN TALENT ) capabilities of USSR soviet Union
Then you're not center left.
For real, the man had a rotary phone that could reach the moon. Now thats high tech!
Center left today is the same as an ultra right wing conservative, who believes democrats are the anti christ.
The US needs to find Presidents this smart again
Wasn't he corrupt. 😊
@thecurlew7403 no he wasn't. He was impeached for deleting recordings from the oval office. Testimony from his secretary indicates he barely knew how to work it and likely erased the tape while trying to listen to it. Guy was pretty weird.
What you're probably thinking of is Watergate which his response when finding out a PAC supporting him called CREEP did that was "Who's the jack ass that authorized?"
I don't like Nixon btw just stating some facts. Frankly his policies and their effect have been a disaster for America.
@@thecurlew7403na. CIA set him up.
@@thecurlew7403 Name one president less corrupt.

His views stand the test of time and are remarkably prescient . A visionary man
Really? China is the prize, biggest economy and will be for the next 50 years
Except that he grossly underestimated China and overestimated Japan
well, he was right in that japan had a good 25 years competing with china from when this was filmed, but if you look at japan and china currently...he would be wrong, although his assertion was 25 years, not beyond 25 years
@@StephenRoche-l6pyeah but who could have foreseen the US propping up its enemies the way we have. The US has more politicians with Chinas best interests at heart than the US has with its own interests at heart.
@@jc7997ajyou mean Israel?
Damn, I wish mainstream news was more like this!
Coherence has always been the exceptional characteristic of president Nixon. His legacy would never be tarnished.
Except it was with the whole watergate thing soooo
But he was coherently wrong. China GDP surpassed Japan.
He was so coherent. He said, Going after all these Jews. Just find one that is a Jew, will you.'
@@TrillEverything
What he mean is Japan is a big prize for USA. Look what Japan has been suffering since the Plaza Accord for the benefit of USA. What USA has done to Japan is difficult to be done to China because China dares to fight back for the interest of its1.4B Chinese people!
@@TrillEverythinggo back to sleep believe Chinese money and material they make shit same them greedy thieves and busters
Nixon’s geopolitical chops were always better than his domestic. He was dialed in.
We all have our talents.
Advancing the economy is actually a rather tough goal... Although, one could take inspiration from China on that.
The problem though is that US Gov has an unfriendly relationship with US business.
So, it can't naturally do what it would take to advance the country.
His domestic was great, too.
He gave us the EPA and title 9. He ended the Vietnam was and ended the draft.
Nixon vetoed the clean water act in 1972 when he was running against George McGovern who would have made a fantastic president. Congress passed the clean air, and water act in 1974, and Nixon signed it.

I wish presidents these days were as smart as he was. Call him what u want about watergate, Ive been watching a lot of his videos, and he is a very intelligent man. A good man in my opinion.
*_Nixon was a good man And a great president. But I personally put Reagan and Trump a notch above for their accomplishments in office. Can you imagine where our country would be now if Nixon was a businessman ???_*
He was set up. Knew too much and was a danger to the establishment. Didn't want to play ball with the evil globalist scumbags.
Putting trump anywhere near a list of decent presidents (let alone good or great presidents) is not something one does to be taken seriously. And as much as I love the Gipper (we share the same birthday. Give or take a few years) both the war on drugs and trickle down economics have been absolute disasters!

I think he knows how to read.
Peace is and always should be the biggest prize .
I agree, but there's too much money to be made from war. I lived through the Nixon era and most of us then weren't impressed.
@@angelbulldog4934 I was a baby in his time. He is a politician. That's all that he was . He definitely made his mark on the world's landscape, something we are trying to get over .
@@angelbulldog4934you mean, when he won re-election by a landslide, that's when people weren't that impressed by him.
He had opened the door to relations with both the USSR and China and, while not pretty, had gotten us out of Vietnam.
Had he been more forthright and accepted ultimate responsibility for Watergate, those unimpressed people probably would have kept him in office.
peace, justice, and truth.
I fucking love Nixon, my grandfather was right, he thought Nixon was an excellent president. My grandfather was a world renowned physicist, and a very intelligent man himself, I shouldn't have dismissed Nixon when I was younger. Miss my grandfather...
Media never liked Nixon. Brilliant man.
Back when journalists were actually journalists.
Don't forget it was journalists that took him down. Plus for all that intelligence, he was dumb to record everything that happened in the Oval office. In an attempt to have the most open administration in History he showed why somethings should remain private.
The more I learn about Nixon the more I understand why the media wants me to hate him
He was very critical of 🇮🇱 & their unduly interests (lobbyists), then just like magic, he was impeached
He was set up pushed away
The media is the mouthpiece of the Democrat party.They don't like anybody that has an R.After their name unless they're bad mouthing donald trump
The interesting thing about this clip is that's what's going on right now. Other countries are aligning themselves the with a new currency that will replace US currency in the major market of oil in the world. This will make the u. S.A. Third world country and not as. Prominent in its power around the world. And unfortunately, the current administration was probably okay with that because they have him in their hip pocket.
And this is another major reason why outside forces and people tharen't oil to this country can't afford to have Donald Trump back in the White House.
We should all listen
Goodness gracious! The conviction and depth is truly amazing! I am just wondering whether Ms Harris should be taking a look at all these stalwarts… then to emulate them.
President Nixon was always a Great President!'
He was not a "great" President. Nixon was an okay President, but had bad people in his administration (like Kissinger and others) that manipulated him. He should have never made relationships with China.
Also he was set up by the Deep State.
Looking at modern day foreign political issues, Nixon was not too far off even more than 50 years after he said this. Underrated president
He couldn’t have known but Japan stagnated and today China has the equivalent GDP of America and is about to surpass it. In addition they are now as good as allies with the Russians… thanks Biden.
nah he was entirely off, japan turned out not to be the big prize, the forecasted economic growth of the country wasn't done logically and merely extrapolated their current growth and assumed it would stick.
Japan never got close the the GDP of the united states and china is now a superpower
I’m not old enough to remember Nixons presidency but from what I have read and watched, outside of watergate, this guy was a foreign policy genius. We could use someone like this right now.
no he's not, opening up China to the rest of the world was one of America's biggest foreign policy blunders.
Nixon himself didn't do Watergate. His lackey did. Mitchel, Michealson Richard's and Dean.
he was no genius. if he was, he would have invested in smaller countries that surrounds China, rather than open up China.
If you consider enabling a genocide a mark of genius, then he sure is
Foreign policy genius 😂.
I’ve studied Nixon through books, movies, and online reading. The problem is one comes away from this feeling like Watergate defined him. These short interview clips have given me a much better understanding as to why historians say Nixon was a great Statesman. His knowledge and views on foreign policy are amazingly still relevant today! While many President alike focuses on JFK or LBJ, it’s the calm knowledge of Nixon in so many views to protect America’s place in the world that leads one to understand the true history of his presidency and the history of him as a person.
We forget that nixon was actually a great president, his mistakes just get blown out of proportion in the history books
I would say he was a man of great strengths and great weaknesses
I agree with you. All people remember Nixon for now is Watergate, but he did do many great things for America before that. I think instead of brushing all of Nixon's achievements under the rug just because of Watergate really limits what we can learn from his presidency.
He made some keys foreign policy moves during his presidency. The system held in 1974 forcing him to resign. I think Republican politicians today would simply overlook these crimes.
'mistakes' is not what you call criminal behaviour on a national scale.
@@angeleyes2cexactly, everyone just loves to prostrate themselves before him.
Even today his words carry undeniable weight, truth and meaning! We’d be wise to pay attention to them!
President Nixon was way before his time definitely .... much needed in these times. !!!!

Revisionist history. Nixon was a warmonger and a crook!
Totally wrong on Japan
Way before? He represented the derelict past in his time. He was just intelligent, which isn't a redeeming quality.
Well tbf everyone was @@TheJthom9
Nixon was probably the most important, underrated leaders ever.
He totally nailed it! In the early ‘70s, nearly everyone in the US laughed at Japan. By the ’80s, no one was laughing. They were taking notes!
marshall plan and bretton woods never happened it was all a success story of pure capitalism.
@@Cd5ssmffan kind of an asshole, are ya'?
We weren’t laughing at Japan’s industry even in the sixties, let alone the seventies. It’s obvious you weren’t even born yet.
But remember, it all turned to shit for Japan in 1990 and they have endured decades of economic stagnation..
@@stevek8829it's common for the ordinary public to blindly accept whatever info that is fed to them without talking the time to carefully evaluate the validity of what they are being told
Completely underestimated China !!
You're right that China until recently dominant world markets including USA. Just about every piece of clothing, automobiles and electronics sold to us made in China
@touchofclassfun6984:
That interview was back in late 70's or 80's; Richard Milhouse Nixon was the best foreign policy president we ever had. He went to China and met Mao. It was a big deal! Made Soviets afraid. Where we are today would never have happened. Thank Clinton and the democrats
Was a terrible move... shouldve left China arm and arm with the russians and then them build two shitty united countries... instead we opened up to China and let the West come in and help develop China into a near peer who steals everything and are still in the arms of Russia and facing off with the west in a potential conflict
Perhaps only for show but realistically America knew population growth is the greatest factor in growth and for this reason America moved literally everything to China, because they knew investing majorly there would eventually be a win for both China and America. Japan and south korean will never compare to China as an ally to America. basically if we had to choose we would chose China and India over Japan and South Korea
He sure did. 😂
Nixon was mostly right. Japan suffered from massive economic downturn as deflation in the 90's which has actually made it stagnate for the past 30 years.
But from his perspective, and the perception of Japan at thr time, he was correct.
Don't forget post war sanctions
Nobody mentions the fact that the Japanese economy grew massively as a war economy after the Second World War. Very well guided end steered by the government (like China today?). In the eighties the Bank of Japan went from a government owned bank into a privately owned bank under the pressure of the USA. The same private owners as the Fed??!!) That was the beginning of the end for Japan!
@@AdrieStaalman I understand your point, however, respectfully, I think it ran more like South Korea, mass privatisation (which you are spot on about) but along with giving huge amounts of monopsony power to very few corporations - Cheobels is what the South Koreans call them. In Japan it was Mitsibushi, Toyota, J.A.L that dominated the markets.
It’s actually wild how prescient Nixon was about future foreign policy
I would not mind having beer or breaking bread with Nixon . He very much more reliant now then he was then. The U.S needs a president like this.

Real questions and real answers. How times have changed!
Our politicians today need to listen to this, pushing them away and closer to each other by the day
I'll never understand why NATO pushed Russia away and into China's arms after the Soviet Union collapsed. Could have been a great friendship to curb the rising influence of China.
They’ve done that to themselves. They understand the terms for our relationship with them. They violate it time and time again.
@@ChadmladAnd Russia and China dont??? You people literally blame everything on your leadership, and when they occupy us in 10 years because all you ever did was cry about the government fighting back, you better be silent
Oh that ship sailed when they surrounded them for decades and continuously badgered and antagonized both of them. They’re thick as thieves now. The U.S. foreign policy establishment is either (1) stupid or (2) traitorous. Could be both.
Maybe the GOP shouldn't run on a theocratic fascist platform.
Brilliant President. We could use his knowledge today
Absolutely!
What a genius!✅
A greatly astute yet calculated answer. Nixon really showed how knowledgeable he was with international affairs
He was not dumb
He was actually a good president. They can feed you full of Watergate all they want but you research him you'll find out they did him dirty to make him resign.
Respect to this great man and President,so articulate compared to the jokes of today’s president’s,God bless the Nixon legacy
No respect ❌ for this warmonger and abuser of presidential power.
You can't blame Nixon for over-estimating Japanese power and importance here because nobody knew the stagnation of Japan was imminent. BUT, japanese and german stagnation just shows that a country that is based upon liberalism and capitalism is not the best way to improve a country's well being in the long run. We had the german and japanese miracles in the post war years and beyond but without something for people to stand behind and work towards, the countries will always fizzle out. The US is now on its way to fizzle out. The only difference is that we didn't have this forced onto us, we are doing it to ourselves!
The German and Japanese economic miracle was more easily achieved due to lack of competition back then while China's phenomenal progress is more remarkable as they not only has to face stiff competition from the highly advanced G7 and EU nations but all the zero sum games n scorch earth policies used by them to try and set back its progress
But if you look at Rome from its zenith to when severe inflation sent in and they began to get incompetent after incompetent ruler, it took about 200 years before another empire could take them on militarily. America is doomed for sure, but it could be 200 years from now that it actually falls and the states or regions that are left will still be important. The only way this goes bad is if the US tries to fight both Russia and China at the same time and then the timeline could move up.
@@D.D.-ud9zt I think the USA won't accept to become the second economic power in the world and they will start a big war, I hope this won't happen.
Too much luxury at the top, and an insatiable war machine dependent economy.
So true. Sad.... But true.
Most important, peace, justice, and truth.
Things were so cut and dry when I was grow'n up, nowadays everything is so convoluted...
Crazy to hear a journalist/reporter ask a question without instantly interrupting
I like this Nixon guy.
Thanks

Is it really you Jim Eagle?
He is totally wrong, Japan economy is ruined yen is almost dead, china is the big deal, russia and China won't give a shit to US, foreign affairs politicians are totally dumb and warmongers
Then you're an idiot.
I was never a fan of Nixon but I couldn't dismiss how intelligent he was. Let's not forget he served as VP for eight years in the Eisenhower administration.
Underneath it all, Dick Nixon was a great president. He allowed his own paranoia to overtake it. But let us not forget that he was an extremely popular president in his first turn. Very intelligent man.
One can use God's given intelligence either for good or evil purpose and like most US presidents after the second world war, he chose the latter.
There's sufficient evidence to prove it
Nixon is truly a global strategic thinker. No president thinks like Nixon especially the last two.
Presidents today “don’t think “ period ; lucky if “they could read” the teleprompter
Teleprompter Presidents
Trump met with Kim Jong Un twice...
Every time I hear this man speak, damn.... he was so far ahead of his time with his long term thinking and understanding of global politics. How the hell did America let this guy get mud dragged.
He spied on his political opponents. That being said, he was crucified for basically doing what every politician does. He was unlucky enough to get caught.
He was wrong though. CHINA is the one that ended up with a GDP rivalling the USA, not Japan. Plus, China and Russia don't trust each other. There's a LOT of hand shaking with fake smiles, but I don't doubt for 1 second that one would try to take the other out if given the opportunity.
Nixon's strength was foreign policy. His words resonate today. I think that Trump understands this, as well.
Man, I knew Nixon as a person who did the Watergate scandal but this has more depth to his presidency I don’t think my my schools ever taught or did videos of Nixon only through textbook
I see this often in life, especially at work. You can do well and be awesome 364 days a year but they all remember that one day you were not perfect. They often. remember you by your mistakes instead of your successes.
When the president does something it's not illegal
The country needs this man the most right now
Imagine being a Japanese general in WW2 terrified of surrundering to America. Then 30 years later you look at your country and go, "well god damn. Why didnt we do this sooner?"
Japan is the most in debt country in the world per capita to GDP,by a long way.US is fast catching up
@@tokotong2455 yeah. But at everything they achieved. They are more successful and bigger winners under America's occupation and system than if they would have won the war.
@@jaybartgis5148 Debatable, nowadays Japan has a very opressive society for the average worker and a lot of that is due to the fusion of capitalism and the traditional elements of Japanese society
what's good about being occupied
@@dmitry123456789012 being successful?
Nixon said this at a time when western analysts thought Japan would be the leading economy of the world one day. China was still taking handouts from the UN during the 70s. How things have changed
Except while China is wallowing in abject misery and getting by making cheap shit products with a phantom economy that collapses the instant they declare war on Taiwan, Japan is the forefront of numerous tech fields including Medical research. Japan's main failure is their small size limits their industrial capabilities
He was right about Japan because Japan was about to beat the U.S.A. in terms of GDP. Soviets were no match for Japan's economic growth. One thing they didn't consider was Japan is a highly monolithic and conservative society that doesn't accept foreigners for men's power to overcome the bottleneck of their economic boom. Now they realize that in this Global World, you have no choice but to integrate foreigners into your society to become an economic power again. Still, it's too late for them to undo what they had done to themselves by being emotional rather than logical.
@@arienka5264 Hopefully it’s not 2 late.
I campaigned for President Nixon. He was a great man.
A big thumbs up to President Nixon at that time for truthfully and honestly telling it as it truly is and as it truly is not indeed!.
So intelligent. One would think he had a REAL crystal ball! But he did his homework on international issues.
Boy i miss NIXON -- he makes sense.
My history teacher my Nixon’s niece. Swore up and down he was a great man.
Wow! Nixons niece your history teacher!
She must have had some insight
This man learned at the knee of Eisenhower. Everyone seems to forget he was his VP.
How could this man know all this accurately without a calculator?
Insight through the power of observation and critical thinking!
That did not age well. China has an economy much bigger than Japan's and Russia's economy has surpassed Japans under a thousand sanctions. The US impeded Japan's growth.
@@u.s.lawyer8542this was recorded 20 + years before China in 2010 finally overtook Japan GDP with the United States purposely putting the brakes on Japan economy.
@@u.s.lawyer8542 also after the fall of the USSR, Russia wanted to be closer of western nations not only economically but also asking to joint NATO. Russia was ready to move on the cold war page but the west wanted to keep the cold war mentality over the years. The actual russiam/chinese proximity is a direct consequence of western policy....
If social media existed back then, there's no chance they would've gotten away with what they did to that man.
Yeah back then the media really had full control
Read his book RN. A great read. He did much good for the USA. The EPA was established during his presidency. Glad his daughters are still alive to see the belated respect he is now receiving from many of his countrymen.
Trump would close down the EPA.
And remember, all of these questions were presented to Nixon AFTER Watergate and his resignation. The media were not owned by politically influenced conglomerations at that time. Fair and respectful interviews to ANYONE in their effort to investigate and report real, unbiased results.
No insults, no gaslighting, no biased political leanings. No agenda !
Just respectable reporters doing a service for ALL Americans.
I have Got Nixon Watch
Any Questions ?
Isn’t it great that our leaders today acted in a way to push russia and China together?
Very awkward...
Although, I wonder if it isn't better for humanity as a whole for the world to become multipolar with competing systems... Just in case we sabotage ourselves into oblivion.
Much to be said for a competitor that makes you strive... Too bad we're more focused on being anti-competitive, than competing by raising our own standards.
Typical Russian propaganda. We did not “push Russia and China together,” but are instead doing the bare minimum to prevent the spread of Russian fascism. Abandoning Ukraine to Russia, soon to be followed by the other free countries on Putin’s invasion list, would make an implacable enemy stronger, reduce the number and strength of our allies, and embolden autocrats around the world. The best deterrent to China is the example of a weak, militarily and economically shattered Russia.

@@Leto2ndAtreides Spoken like a true hamasist wagnerist communist traitor
@@Leto2ndAtreides I agree, our world needs more countries like Switzerland that are more neutral and that focus more on domestic policy.
Well, he wasn't entirely incorrect.
Well yes but the Thing is there is No universe in wich USA can survive against the soviet Union thats the whole reason why the Nato pact was Made the soviets alone Had more men than the states Had ammo
@@alienmorality now the nato regime is the one expanding and no, the usa cannot take on Russia by itself
I always did like his speaking and thinking style.
Nixon had his flaws, but damned if he wasn't a visionary.
I was around when he was Prez and Watergate wouldn't even make a footnote in the news today.
Nixon was tricky but he was way smarter and more forward-thinking than people give him credit for.
Tricky and devious indeed.
@@DDEENY
No more than any other politician.
You are probably right. Back in 1974, Watergate was all folks talked about. Standards have been lowered so much that there are none. I think Nixon was an expert on foreign policy and while I think he should have resigned, I never discounted his foreign policy experience.
@@ginathegreat3858 why are you talking like bot and this comment section is full of it ?
This was the days when the POTUS was a statesman and truly understood foreign relations. Today’s leadership team of Biden, Harris and Blinken don’t come close to .05% of that of Richard Nixon.
And Trump only cares about if you kiss up to him and stroke his inflated ego, thus surrounded by brown-nosers who tell him what he wants to hear, not the truth.
America sure could use a Richard Nixon right now
Nixon: What is best for America?
Biden Crime Family: What is best for my secret bank account?
There’s no secret bank account dummy, meanwhile trumps a felon and Biden Is not, cope🤡🤡🤡😂
You’re aware that Nixon wielded his policial power very corruptly, and was in fact impeached for doing so, right?
Of course the evidence is "secret," invisible, or perhaps nonexistent. Maybe learn at least one thing about Nixon before speaking on him.
The “Biden crime family” hasn’t been twice impeached or criminally convicted. In fact the law just passed by the Supreme Court would over turn hunter Biden as well. Yet the cheeto is officially a convicted felon. His campaign is adamant that felons cannot vote but somehow felons can run for president… 😂
Nixon is great even with him gone.
