i worked with richard nixon during the last years of his life and mid career i worked for president trump at the treasury department. so i worked with two very controversial but very strong american presidents who frankly the only thing they needed to do was be. they just needed to stand there and communicate america's interest and what their agenda was and how they would execute and the rest of the world, our allies and our adversaries knew there was no confusion as to where the president stood, where the country stood. a weak american president, that is provocative. the good guys retreat and the wheels come off the world. >> jesse: i don't know what president biden's enaagenda is. i don't know whether he wants to repel the russians from ukraine. i don't know whether he wants to just keep nato united. i don't know if he just wants a proxy war to bleed russia dry. i don't know what the policy is. do you know what his policy is? >> i do not. and that's extremely worrying. because people are throwing around world war iii and we have got the american president up at the podium whining about

the watergate investigation into president richard nixon was suspiciously missing. >> good evening. the white house this afternoon disclosed something else is wrong with the president's secret tape recordings. an 18-minute important conversation is. [ inaudible ] consisting of a single tone on the tape. that conversation took place just three days after the watergate break in last year and it involved the president, hr and john ericman. >> that recording was critical because it was supposed to capture president nixon easterliest reaction to the news of the watergate break in but disappeared into thin air. conveniently for nixon, it was e erase by his secretary who said she did so by accident with a foot pedal. it was a coverup to his down fall. fast forward to today and we're learning now of a new gap in another white house record, this time pertaining to the presidency of donald j. trump only this gap isn't just 18.5 minutes, it's more than seven hours. "the washington post" is reporting today that internal white house records from january 6th show a gap in trump's phone records of

nixon and to my surprise really with dwight eisenhower who hovered over the 60s to an extent that i hadn't realized. when i first started working on this book. it deals with those people who tried to become president barry goldwater bobby kennedy hubert humphrey george mcgovern george wallace. runs too so much of the 1960s talks about supreme court justices. it talks about a general or to talks about the towering activists. we associate with the 60s, dr. martin luther king jr. malcolm x but if there's one thing that animates my sense of the past my sense of myself as an historian. is also really believe that ordinary people. are central to history too? ordinary people who we don't know help us understand whose names. we've never heard of help us understand. the past in a new way an ordinary people in the american past change this nation. so alongside all those famous people who run through the shattering. but i also try to do is tell the stories of ordinary people. what i want to do today. so i just want to tell you. four stories and this is the first one. this is the fourth of july

. >> in a yeed, here is what paul tyler writes for "politico," perhaps putin is reenacting richard nixon's so-called madman theory in which the then united states president tried to make the north vietnamese believe he was ready to push the button in hopes of frightening them to the negotiating able. what do you make of that argument? >> i think -- >> naveed. >> sorry again. sorry again. >> that's okay. >> it's early. >> a lot to talk about. >> it's early. >> and it's early, exactly. >> i agree. look, i agree with the premise. i think that there is -- as jack said, this is -- look, we can't just put aside putin and said this is a madman, a crazy man, which all may be true, by the way, but that does not mean that there is not a rational thought process in his deliberation. as jack said, he has strategic goals here. look, the idea of moves nukes and putting them into belarus, it is an escalatory move but in terms of a practical one, he's moving them a few hundred miles, it adds a few seconds in terms of warring to europe. so in a practical matter it doesn't really have much of a change, it d

it's now at the highest point it's been since 1970 when richard nixon was present. you talk about oil prices running up. take a look at wheat and corn and soy beans. that is in this short period, the run up that will not stop. take a look at what happened to oil today. up better than $8 this week along. this week along up 26% since before the crisis, it is effectively doubled. no wonder all the major market averages were down. that's the fourth straight down week for stocks all because we don't know where this is going. we just know where prices are going. they're going more after this.

when opec tightened the screws in 1973 and 1979, the impact was felt politically by richard nixon and then jimmy carter. i think whatever people say, i think i mentioned in the piece, people say they will willingly pay more. but also tell pollsters they want to eat more vegetables and watch more documentaries on television. good intentions are one thing. but when reality hits i think it could be quite another. >> i hear carvelle somewhere in the back of my mind talking about the economy as jeff greenfield makes these observations. frankly, heading into the midterms is it impossible that the border that matters more to voters is the mexican/american border and not the russia/ukraine border? in the end are all politics local? >> that's another one of those statements that's true but not as true as it sounds. look, i think it is true that the combination of inflation and the feeling about immigration tend to hit closer to home. as i say, if the united states were directly involved, even -- let me go way back, the spurious, nonexistent attack on the battleship "maine" outraged americans w

nixon's mad men theory, where you scare you opponents into staying on the sidelines. if things are worse than two weeks ago, why is there more hope last week, we had a fed meeting with jay powell made sure everyone knows he's poised to raise interest rates rapidly because the economy is overheated the result, one of the greatest rallies in years then yesterday, powell once again talked about inflation, saying he would think nothing of a 50 basis point double rate hike at the next meeting initially, the market took this statement negatively yesterday, like powell was saying he would be willing to destroy the economy in order to save it. 50 basis points here, 50 basis points there pretty soon you're talking about real rate hikes. today, upon further review, hope, wall street reached a different conclusion a conclusion that was more like what happened last week when the market roared after powell's first rate hike. see, a week ago, there were plenty of skeptics two camps, those that believe powell could easily throw us into recession if he isn't careful and those who bel

[ laughter ] meanwhile, after president biden's recent remark that putin cannot remain in power, a reporter asked biden if he thinks his comment could cause putin to escalate his behavior yeah, 'cause up until now putin has kept things pretty chill, i think.

watergate, when there were impeachment proceedings against president richard nixon. one of the things you were dealing with was an 18-and-a-half-minute gap in the audio recording in the oval office. how do you compare the gap you're dealing with now with what happened back then? >> i'll just say that what has unfolded here i think is more serious than the threat that was posed by watergate to our country. >> woodruff: and why do you say that? >> well, i think the threat to the democratic republic was far it, far more serious than in the case of w watergate. just my opinion. >> woodruff: well, and let me ask you in connection with that,s we interviewed on the newshour just a few days ago congressman adam schiff, who is on the january 6 committee with you. he made a point of saying the justice department now needs to move, in his wods, with alacrity, to pursue investigations against those for whom criminal referrals have been voted out of congress. do you share the concern that he expressed that he's worried that justice and the attorney general may be worried about wa

vice president richard nixon and his wife pat circled the globe in july of 1956 with stops in hawaii the philippines south vietnam thailand taiwan pakistan and turkey. during every stop then vice president nixon encouraged allies to resist the influence of chinese and soviet communism being a father himself. he especially enjoyed meeting the children. there were handshakes to for their elders for the parents and the aged who'd given up all they had to escape communist tyranny and live in a land that offered liberty. the vice president met the roman catholic priests and others who would work long and selflessly to make this camp a living and a growing thing. he saw new farm equipment made available through united states assistance. he saw a deeply religious people awaiting distribution of these tools after their blessing by a bishop who was a refugee from tonkin. it was an unforgettable experience for the vice president. he felt he was witnessing here one of the great stories of southeast asia the story of south vietnam's fight for freedom and a better life for all.

nixon. we talked a little bit about what was happening in the 1920s and 30s as white evangelicals were growing in power and prominence and all try to be careful with my language. i'll probably use the terms fundamentalist in evangelical interchangeably. i tend to use the terms that they use for themselves. so in the 20s and 30s, they called themselves fundamentalists in the 1940s to today. they tend to call themselves evangelicals, but it's the same group same people many of them are exactly the same if you trace them from the 1930s to the 1950s. but what they believed is the the way they were reading their bibles. they thought that you could see signs that the bible had laid out, especially in the old testament, but in the new testament a series of events that would tell us when we were living near the rise of the antichrist in this great apocalypse. and some of them were kind of hard to track things like loosening morals the rise of darwinian evolution. they were worried about women's suff

after watergate, which was a big scandal that led to richard nixon's resignation, there was a lot of legislation passed to shore up democracy. the freedom of information act. there were amendments made to that so that you and i could sort of ask the government, what are you doing, give me the documents. there is a lot of that come a lot of legislation to shore up american democracy in the wake of a visa power by a president. the problem at this moment is the filibuster. so we are not seeing basic legislation around this passing, because republicans have a super majority through the filibuster, which is nowhere in the constitution. it is not in the law. but there are two democrats, joe manchin and kyrsten sinema, who will not take steps to get rid of the filibuster. for example, the john lewis voting rights advancement act, that is designed to put in place a provision of the voting rights act from 1965 that the supreme court gutted in 2013. the supreme court said congress, update that. we cannot even get some thing is basic as that. that is not even happening. regardless of what happe

nixon law and order ronald reagan welfare, queen the clintons and super predator. there's this stoking of division stoking of resentment and that is exactly what i was responding to in writing place not race. it's like you were i said, you know, we're in a very very bad place and we're getting to this place where trust in the entire project of politics and the entire project of government is declining, you know, it's falling off the roof since then the toxicity has gotten worse since then so, you know my my life and my writing has been about how we can create a functioning multiracial politics. and so but that said, i just can't support the colorblind constitutionalism coming from the right. you know that that says that you can never under any circumstance consider race when it might be necessary. it might be necessary. i just don't think that's what the framers of the 14th amendment had in mind that said, i think we all need. to bring the heat out of politics and the stoking of division out of politics. now if you can't get through on the phone lines and you still

this reminds me of 1973 when israel's back was up against the war in the yom kippur war, and richard nixon said every plane that flies and every plane that shoots and that helped so israel was not overrun. this is what the president should be doing with the stubborn bureaucracy. >> john: a couple ways to get the migs to ramstein, take them apart, box them up and overland or put a pilot in it and fly it there and then from ramstein into poland. but logistical problems the united states cannot seem to get over. let me ask you about oil. the biden administration has banned the sale of russian oil, the import of russian oil, some private companies were doing that. but does not seem to be a concrete plan to back up the loss of the oil. the wall street journal is reporting that we have gone, are trying to go to saudi arabia and the u.a.e. to get them to pump more oil and were rebuffed. and writing crown prince and others declined to speak to bind, and criticism of american policy in the gulf. the white house pushed back on this saying oh, no, he talked to the king back on february 9th, but

as president richard nixon grimly described these powers once, quote, i can go into my office, pick up the telephone, and in 25 minutes 70 million people will be dead. we know all too well that american presidents are not infallible. neither is our early warning system, which is why we need an emergency brake to ensure that a case of mistaken identity, a false missile launch, or a president gone wild does not trigger the unthinkable. we cannot uninvent the atom, its military applications and technological know-how. the nuclear pandora's box is sadly forever open. we must, however, do everything in our power to be able to look the next generation in the eye and say that we did everything -- everything in our power -- to avert the unfathomable, a nuclear war on this planet. and that includes supporting negotiations that not only end russia's war in ukraine but also future negotiations to end the budding 21st century nuclear arms race, which is spinning out of control. mr. president, i was a teenager during the cuban missile crisis. had president kennedy listened to his generals rather th

that was richard nixon, of course, the 18 minutes of missing watergate tapes. as mark twain once said, "history doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes." this latest revelation comes amid increased pressure on thejustice department to make clear what it's doing, if anything, to investigate and prosecute those trump officials who may have played a role in inciting the violence. i have watched an interview with john bolton who was in the white house and he says the president often talked about burner funds despite the statement that president trump went out overnight saying he did not know what a burner phone was. ~ ., , ., . ~ did not know what a burner phone was. ~ ., , ., , was. where to begin to unpack this one. let's talk _ was. where to begin to unpack this one. let's talk about _ was. where to begin to unpack this one. let's talk about what - was. where to begin to unpack this one. let's talk about what was - one. let's talk about what was propped up on the date donald trump left the white house. there are boxes mysteriously that's made their way to malabo and

nixon did a generation ago a generation ago we split russia an china so they were not allies he put them back together, if russia gets away with taking ukraine, and they certainly look like on their way, he will in fact be sending a message to china, of course, you can take taiwan, russia has your back that is exactly what he isn't going do have to explain tonight, because it is a one way conversation. we sit we decide whether to stand or not, if we yell out apologize or you lie, of course, we will be con condemned not good sports the fact is president owes the people of ukraine, the people of america, apology for changing policies that work, and ultimately giving up the problems we haven including people being you slaughtered what is in fact a war crime going to get worse, i have a god child grandparents sitting in northeast kyiv right now they know in a normal situation they wouldn't be a target, but can't know that because this man is preparing to flatten that city if that is what it takes to meet his agenda. maria: unbelievable six days ago perfectly peaceful situation peaceful

nixon, the most ardent communist of his time, nixon made the deal, as you said, as a counter balance to the soviet union and their expansionism. i wonder how do we get there from here? because there has to be a realism if we are on the verge of what putin is suggesting is world war iii. we don't only have to deal with china, but we have to deal with saudi arabia and deal with people who have been bad actors and counter balance russia's threat? >> absolutely. sanctions are not going to work if china decides to violate them or china decides to continue to trade with russia. already there's trade with energy in russia and they do it with the financial system that's really bad. the question is how do you make it so the u.s. has enough leverage economically? to me that means we have to be good and guard our economy, but we also have to do things like biden is starting to do, which is start exporting liquified natural gas. the larger issue is here we have been through 50 years of globalization wherever supply chain and outsourcing of manufacturing has been done on a global basis. we are no
