Regardless of what people think about Pres Nixon, no one can deny he fought to where he got in life and was a prolific reader. He also was very intelligent and was the last of our presidents who personally authored books without ghost writers. It’s sad that he had such a huge flaw of paranoia. People point out his faults but fail to recognize the good he did. He opened up relationships w China that had a 5th of the world’s population, kept Chile from becoming communist and supported Gen Pinochet, who was a right wing dictator, was brutal, but no worse than the communists. Pinochet set up capitalism and Chile is still one of the most prosperous of S American countries. Last Nixon established the EPA which has its faults but has cut back on air and water pollution.

I personally think the rumors and scandal surrounding JFK's 'womanizing ways' was more or less political subterfuge; an attempt to disparage his character, tarnish his legacy, and lessen interest by a certain 3 letter agency responsible for his assassination in order to distract and get people to stop asking questions. Nixon, wanting to distance himself from that same 3 letter agency hired to assassinate Castro and his brother, was framed and setup with the Watergate scandal. Only just recently was a recording of it disclosed. Nixon was a great man and president.

@@YasukeNakamoto Then you should look more into what he actually did as POTUS instead of forming your opinion on him based on 60-second clips from interviews that his estate chose specifically because it frames him in a positive light. You realize he's the only POTUS who was ever going to be FULLY impeached and potentially sent to prison, right? The only reason it didn't happen is because after being impeached and once the ultimate result of his impending trial became clear, he quickly resigned from office so that his Vice POTUS could immediately give him a Presidential pardon upon being sworn-in. Which is exactly what happened (even though Gerald Ford said numerous times he wouldn't give Nixon a pardon if he resigned or was fully impeached....then Nixon resigned and the first thing Ford did was pardon Nixon. Which is an admission of guilt on Nixon's part, as you don't need a Presidential Pardon if you are innocent of any crimes. That's not even touching on how he and his POTUS campaign intentionally sabotaged peace talks that could have ended the Vietnam War during Johnson's administration so that his opponent Hubert Humphrey wouldn't get the boost in polls that would naturally have resulted from successful peace talks and so that he could then engage in peace talks after being elected and thus take credit for them. Oh yeah and that little matter of personally orchestrating a breaking & entry and burglary of the DNC headquarters in 1972 as part of his efforts to illegally sabotage his opponent's POTUS campaign. And the way his administration specifically created the war on drugs to try and derail the civil rights movement and anti war movement, with members of his own administration flat out admitting that they waged a propaganda campaign to associate blacks with heroin and college students with cannabis and then criminalized both drugs as heavily as possible so they could have the pretext needed to smash up the headquarters of civil rights movement chapters and anti war groups by claiming they got an "anonymous tip" that therte was drug trafficking going on. The list goes on. Dick Nixon is objectively the most sleazy and corrupt POTUS of the modern era.

I’m not sure that the message from Watergate is “no malice”? All the same, despite Watergate (which should be the obvious condemnation of his character and judgement, even apart from other questionable actions in the record), I still find Nixon intriguing.

As a Young USN Lieutenant stationed on a Pacific Island, during WW2, Nixon was constantly bombed by Japanese attack planes. Not far away, young Lieutenant Kennedy was injured and marooned by a Japanese Destroyer that rammed his PT Boat. Crazy brave men.

The more I see of these Nixon clips, the more impressive he emerges with statesman-like poise, decency, and ability.

Nixon WAS blessed with a functioning brain enough to compose complete sentences and with enough social grace to refrain from yelling crude insults at rallies and press conferences. That’s more than we can say about any of this year’s candidates.

In the Nikon/Kennedy debates those with radio thought Nixon won. Those with TV thought Kennedy won. At least they were not bumbling stumbling mumbling idiots like we have now.

Props to the dude making these vids.

I am a lifelong Democrat but I must say that President Nixon gave an exceptional answer to that comment. I never thought of President Nixon in terms of him being in awe of anyone.

I remember seeing our President Nixon giving speeches on TV. I trusted him. His face was serious. He had a steady gaze. He seemed strong to me. I liked him. He went to China. The people of China were so honored that he did. Many Chinese boys were named Nixon in his honor. I was young at that time. I didn’t like that he had to resign. I did not understand what was happening to him. I was sorry.

The more I know about Nixon and his times, the more I appreciate and respect him. It's time that he is assessed on his complete record. His goal of "a generation of peace", with China, Russia, the Middle East was, by and large, achieved, and lasted 50 years. Only now is it coming apart, because today there are no leaders on the world stage of his caliber to establish the next 50 years of security. People today have no idea of the dangers he predicted and guided us through.

As someone born in the 90s I always had a fascination with Nixon. I’ve always thoroughly thought there was more to him than what we as a nation experienced. I’ve listened to a lot of what he’s had to say and truly believe if he wasn’t bogged down by the war in Vietnam this country would be totally different today.

THAT IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH 👍🇺🇸

How someone so smart could blunder so terribly later is fascinating

Well said Mr. President!

He ended Vietnam and they had to destroy him

As the saying goes, only history will judge.. It's only now, 50 years later, the world actually appreciates what a great, articulate, tough and intelligent man Nixon was.

I became a fan of Nixon in the early 90s because I heard a Paul Harvey story about him. The rest of the story: Nixon was a renowned poker player (a near savant) in the military and made extra money thru playing poker during his service career. His IQ & intellect must have been off the charts, not to mention his ability to read people as well.

I used to think he was the worst president ever and an evil person. Having listened and learned about him I am now convinced he was one of the best. What a man.

Sweden here...I am quite impressed by Nixon's intellect.

- OSHA (worker's safety) -TITLE IX (women's rights) - Ending the Vietnam War - Creating the EPA - The Clean Air Act (most influential air pollution bill in US history) - Proposed the Safe Water Drinking Act - NEPA (required examination of environmental impact of gov projects. Copied by 100 nations) - MMPA marine mammal protection act (first act ever to protect marine mammals) - Working towards energy self-sufficiency - Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act (put a lot of highly needed regulation on the Pharma industry) - National Cancer Act - Public Health Service Act (hugely influential bills for a national effort to research and fight cancer) - He reduced tensions with Communist China - The first US president to ever visit China which ended 25 years of no diplomatic ties or communication between the US and China - He reduced tensions with Russia - SALT I (the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks Agreement) and Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty were signed by the US and Russia under Nixon. De-escalating the Arms Race and creating a safer world. Basically, no President in the last 50-70 years did more for US National Security or had such a lasting positive effect on the daily lives of American Citizens, yet all most high school textbooks typically teach about him is Watergate. They never want to teach that for his reelection campaign he won by 18 million votes, 60.7% of the popular vote, the widest margin in US history for a presidential election. He was a Great American President they we probably take for granted more than any other because of a media and department of education smear campaign that doesn't look at his body of work. Not to mention he served honorably as an officer in WWII and received two Medals of Commendation from the Navy and Marine Corps for "meritorious and efficient performance of duty as Officer in Charge of the South Pacific Combat Air Transport Command" and "meritorious service, tireless effort and devotion to duty." We would all do ourselves a favor to reexamine his accomplishments.
