and nixon and h.r. haldeman, the chief of staff, was that it would be too politically toxic for nixon to pardon the watergate these watergate figures? because was this perception that it would be, you know, special for his and part and part of a cover up that discussion gets repair in the trump presidency with a different with a different outcome but it's it's a i found those discussions interesting the issue of self-pardon also came up and you know people people ask me about that all the time is it would self-pardon be legal and the the clear answer to that the only thing you can say for is that we don't know for sure because there's never been a self-pardon. so it's never been tested the courts. but it's my that a self-pardon would be constitutional and i'll tell you why the dominant mode of interpretation now is something called textualism which means that the justices the court narrowly interpret the words of the text of the and they don't and they say they don't expand it past that famous example b

brezhnev's first meeting with nixon was informal.cording to the memoirs personal translator viktor sukhadrev, the general secretary told the american president about the difficulties associated with organizing the visit. at the last congress of the cpsu, some members of the politburo proposed at the last moment to cancel the american leader's visit, since the united states had stepped up bombing of north vietnam, which supported the soviet union. however, brezhnev insisted on his own, since detente was necessary. nixon's national security advisor , who accompanied him, agreed with this. henry kissinger: first of all, i am here because the president believes that our two countries have a historic opportunity at this moment to create a new basis for our relations. the american president's visit lasted a week. during this time, a number of strategic documents were signed. including treaties on the provisional agreement on certain measures in the field of limiting strategic offensive arms, but most importantly, a document called the basi

, or often visited in childhood, the future thirty- seventh president of the united states richard nixon, either whose father or grandfather allegedly worked in one of the copper mines, whether this is true is unknown, but the fact that nixon came to dektyarsk, emitted into one of the mines, is a historical fact, as is the fact that in the sky above a year later , an american spy plane with pilot powers was shot down by the city, and this also became one of the main oral attractions. well, what is this ural town famous for today, we will tell you in our new issue. this is a terekone from a mine, how old is this mountain, well, how can i tell you, it was here before me. yeah, and i'm already over 50, and the flag has long been hoisted on it? well, a long time ago , it's been standing for about five years, these terekones are part of the history of the city, the calling card of dektyarsk, they grew as the empty rock after extracting copper ore from it, they dumped it nearby without any sleds, in winter and summer these mountains are the same... color, yellowish, because of the copper they

the nixon administration was paranoid, and so was nixon.e recorded about 60 episodes of the david frost show. if not for nixon's paranoia, we wouldn't have many of the interviews with his greatest critics, including jane fonda. jane fonda was arrested today at the cleveland airport and charged with smuggling, kicking, and slapping a policeman. miss fonda told reporters she has been constantly harassed because she has spoken out against the vietnam war and racism. they were afraid of jane. she had been a beautiful, sexy movie star. there were soldiers who had pictures of her as barbarella inside their lockers. her activism started with soldiers. fonda: i was living in france and i began to talk to american servicemen who were in paris, and what i began to hear about what was going on in vietnam, atrocities that were committed with the full knowledge of high officials in the pentagon. you just want to scream, you want to say to everybody you can reach, you know, blow the lid off. nixon has said repeatedly that he doesn't want to be the first

under the pretense that he, nixon, would be able to end the war better.ntually, the case went to trial. of the hundreds of american servicemen who participated in the milan massacre, only five were tried, and only one was convicted. lieutenant william kelly, who was convicted of 22 murders, although in fact there were probably many more, was sentenced to life imprisonment, but less than a year later, president nixon personally softened his detention conditions , replacing them with house arrest. acts. 1974 , the killer of vietnamese women, old people and children was released. there are such shelters in different cities throughout vietnam, in the vicinity of ho chi minh city, there are two of them. they care for people with mutations of the central nervous system. these are all victims of military operations of the american army in ... name, although they themselves were born much later than the end military actions, some are not even ten years old, to the use of toxic chemicals by the americans to destroy the dense tropical foliage where the vedkongov un

whose allegedly worked in one of the copper mines, whether this is true is unknown, but the fact that nixon came to dektyarsk and went down into one of the mines is a historical fact, as is the fact that an american spy plane with pilot powers was shot down in the sky over the city a year later, and this also became one of the main oral attractions. well, what is this ural town famous for today, we will tell you in our new issue, this is a terekone from the mine, how old is this mountain, well, how can i tell you, it was here before me. yeah, and i'm already over 50, and the flag how long ago did they put it up? well, it's been a long time ago , probably about five years already. these terekons are part of the city's history, the calling card of dektyarsk. they grew as the empty rock after the copper ore was extracted from it was dumped near the mines. now children play here, climbing the artificial mountains, looking down at the panoramic views of the city, and then sliding down from them. in winter and summer these mountains are the same color, yellowish due to the copper they contain, ba

at that same time, nixon continued. at the same time, nixon continued a massive air war. he indeed expanded the struggle because even as he embarked on this troop withdrawal, he intensified the bombing of north vietnam and of enemy's supply depots in neighboring cambodia, hoping to pound hanoi into concessions. he also expanded expanded ground operations into cambodia and laos. the washington post called richard nixon the greatest bomber in history. and of course, the four, four, four years the war continued under nixon until late in late january 1973, u.s. and north north vietnamese negotiators reached agreement on a deal the paris peace accords, and that brought the us war effectively to an end. and then two years after that, as joel mentioned, at the top 50 years ago today, north vietnamese forces conquered south vietnam. so a question for us is what did the presidents really believe? what did they really believe about this war? well, here's a troubling conclusion that i've reached in three decades of working on this. i don't think any of these three presidents, when t

then, after the exhibition, nixon was taken to leningrad and sverdlovsk. but while in the urals, the vice president suddenly expressed a desire to visit dektyarsk, a small town that the soviet delegation didn't really know about. in dektyarsk, nixon walked the streets, looked at people , showed himself, expressed a desire to go down into a mine, which surprised the organizers of the trip quite a bit. the miners were given a more or less good ditch at that time, one miner's apartment was decorated with carpets and rugs for this , suddenly he would want to look, when he left, they came to take pictures of all these cobras, he didn't give them, so it remained, here nixon was talking to the workers, you saw him, i was a kid, i saw, and everyone there ran to the mine to look at it, so why did the american president suddenly need to stop by dektyarsk, and even go down into the local mine, according to urban legend, one of nixon's relatives, either his grandfather or father, worked in dektyarsk in the first half of the 20th century, when the local subsoil was lea

i want to welcome you all to the nixon library tonight. we are joined tonight by so many elected officials that are gathered here at the county level, at the local level, here in the beautiful east room at the nixon library. so i want to begin by thanking of our elected representatives and civic leaders for your support of the nixon and foundation and the nixon legacy throughout the years. i realize that it is exceptionally rare and it is in fact an exceptionally rare privilege to gather you all together here in one place. but if occasion were to call for such a gathering this is it, so that we all might get concentrated as a county and begin to lay out plans for massive grand celebration of our country. july fourth, 2026, will be the 250th anniversary of our nation's independence celebrations, parades and events will be taking shape all across our country. in all 50 states and the territories in those events are being spearheaded in planned by an independent congressionally appointed commission. they have a lot of sponsorship money behind

nixon was forced to stop the destruction of hanoi only after giving in to pressure from congress andublican party. mrs. chut-khihua also lives nearby, then she lost all her relatives. goes to honor their memory, in her own words, to pray that war would never come to her native land again. surprisingly, when the bombs fell, the sound of the explosion itself was not heard, just the powerful blows were felt, and how everything around shook. i was lucky, i was young and strong, the shelter in which my husband and his brothers and sisters were hiding was destroyed, my husband was lying dead, without an arm, my mother-in-law was crushed by a concrete slab, the rest were pulled out from under the rubble for a long time. they all died, some on the same day, some later from the injuries they received. during the 12 days of the christmas bombing of hanoi , about 1,600 people died in the city, and this, despite all the tragedy, considering the forces that were thrown by the united states, is not at all what washington was counting on. as hanoi newspapers wrote at the time, despite the roar of a

richard nixon, the future thirty- seventh president of the united states, then still vice president, visited dektyarsk. in fact, he came to moscow for the opening of the exhibition industrial products of the usa in sokolniki, which, judging by the photo, was held in a warm, friendly atmosphere. it was there that the famous kitchen debates between nixon and soviet general secretary khrushchev took place. the american guest then showed nikita sergeyevich what the kitchen of an ordinary american looks like. a washing machine, a blender, a color tv, to which khrushchev, in his characteristic expressive manner, replied that the ussr will soon catch up and overtake america, and having overtaken it, it will certainly wave goodbye. then, after the exhibition, nixon was taken to leningrad and sverdlovsk, but while in the urals, the vice president suddenly expressed a desire to stop by dektyarsk, a small town that the soviet delegation did not really know about. in dektyarsk. so why did the american president suddenly need to stop by dektyarsk, and even go down into the local mine? according t

"the catastrophe following nixon's corruption case and the watergate scandal gripped american rulers by the collar, they had realized that public opinion needed to calm down, and just like in the past, the superheroes were the best options, and..." the comic stories in this period, captain america with its fake copy, namely captain america in the 1950s, who fought for the us army, tells himself, i've never fought with my own demonic part. a man with patriotic dreams, i'm responsible for the evil he did. captain america was fighting with a sinister empire that wanted to take control of the us. in the end, he captured head of the white house, and by removing... his mask, he realized the us president was ahead of the evil group. the stories about disgrace nixon administration. this time, unlike the previous times, the captain didn't become happy after achieving victory, and he abandons the fight. he loses faith in americans and chooses to become a stateless man. he says, "i've done things that i don't take pride in anymore. but i always tried to serve my country well, now i can see that

the story is about disgrace nixon administration. this time, unlike the previous times, the captain didn't become happy after achieving victory, and he abandons the fight. he loses faith in americans and chooses to become a stateless man. says i've done things that i don't take pride in anymore, but i always tried to serve my country well. now i can see that the government is serving itself. the bitter taste of those days made spider-man stories bitter. something rare happened in spider-man. mary jane, spider-man's fiance, was killed in a fight. spider-man blamed himself for mary jane's death and never stopped reprimanding himself following the incident. stay with me, stay with me, stay with me. you stay with me, you stay with me. it was similar to how americans felt about their government. marvel adopted this line and made social criticism in its stories. dc also tried to become aligned with social developments to some extent. so it introduced a real hero against the power structure in america in its stories. he was the greatest and

nixon for joining us during this broadcast. mr. nixon, i do want to ask, i mean so far according to this is our fourth round of negotiations. so far, according to experts, the us has not uh compromised on any of the key issues. how do you see so far? i mean, we've got four rounds going on so far, do you see it stalling even longer? do you think we're going to expect something from today's uh discussions? well, i think what we're seeing. reflected here is the internal instability in the u.s. um, i do believe that donald trump right now personally wants um a deal, i think he uh, he needs a win politically, things have not been going well for uh president trump, however, due to internal instability in the u.s., um, he's fighting a coalition of um, what they called centrest, i could come up with a a lot more pejority terms to describe them, but uh, who basically are more um uh inclined for conflict are more inclined for domination, not that donald trump isn't inclined for uh domination, but i don't think donald trump wants any major wa

president richard nixon, his resignation and high inflation and unemployment rates made things worse. in washington, a break in at the watergate hotel was found to involve five men in the pair of the committee to reelect president nixon. the burglar's target was the office of the chairman of the democratic party. the story was to make the names of two young local reporters from the washington post. "the catastrophe following nixon's corruption case and the watergate scandal gripped american rulers by the collar, they had realized that public opinion needed to calm down, and just like in the past, the superheroes were the best options, and one of the comic stories..." in this period, captain america with its fake copy, namely the captain america in the 1950s who fought for the us army, tells himself, i've never fought with my own demonic part, a man with patriotic dreams, i'm responsible for the evil he did. captain america was fighting with a sinister empire that wanted to take control of the us. in the end, he captured head the white house, and by removing his ask he realized the us

. - i, richard nixon... - in many ways, donald trump is richard nixon's revenge. he has the same enemies, harvard, "the new york times," the bureaucracy. - [margaret] sir niall ferguson is an economic historian who has taught at harvard, oxford, the london school of economics, and is now a senior fellow at stanford university's hoover institution. he warns that trump may be at risk of overreaching. - the president has to be more careful than he's being. he has to remember that the constitution still exists and that he is not king and he is not emperor. and if he makes as many mistakes as i believe he's made in the last 100 days, he runs the risk of suffering the fate of richard nixon. - [margaret] what does historian sir niall ferguson say now? - [narrator] "firing line" with margaret hoover is made possible in part by robert granieri, vanessa and henry cornell, the fairweather foundation, peter and mary kalikow, cliff and laurel asness, the meadowlark foundation, the beth and ravenel curry foundation. and by the following. corporate funding is provided by stephen

this behavior echoes the nixon era.ard nixon, as i mentioned, denied having the enemies list that evidence found. he did, and later the tape recordings showed how much time they spent going after people, including one of the most beloved individuals in the world at the time, the beatles star john lennon, who was also a critic of nixon. indeed, amidst a reelection campaign and all of the war debate in 72, the nixon administration fully went after the musician trying to use an old charge to deport him in what looked then like targeting, lennon fought back and won. >> they even sort. >> of changing. >> their own rules to get us, you know, just because we're peaceniks really. >> we don't ask for antiwar action. >> and not your marijuana conviction, then? >> well, i mean, let's say that. >> a few friends of ours in the pop business have exactly the same conviction as me and are allowed to come and go as free as they like. >> come and go, lennon. they're making the point that it felt like targeting it wasn't about the underly

so i have richard nixon. nixon. and i got to be honest, didn't know a whole lot about his naval, i'll confess that. so i had to do some research to really dive and figure it out. the first thing that i'll say is i find it fascinating that five presidents consecutively, right, that had naval service their background. two of those presidents chose as their vice presidents. also, fellow naval officers. so there's a unifying factor there when it relates and as it relates the maritime. president nixon was actually longest serving naval officer. he served for almost 24 years like president johnson, he attained the of commander. so that's also something to about. it's clear from president nixon's early days that he had a passion and ambition for national service. and when world war two happened, although he was quaker and could have easily not participate in the war, he to volunteer for service. the navy. he was first to naval air station, iowa, as a logistician, getting planes ready for the war. and he quickly realized th

nouri charred nixon -- now, richard nixon in january of 1970.n july of 1970, in a special message to the congress. to the congress of the united states, as concerned with the condition of our physical environment has intensified it has become increasingly clear that we need to know more about the total environment, land, water, and air. it also has become increasingly clear that only by reorganizing our federal efforts can we develop that knowledge and effectively ensure the protection, development, enhancement of the total environment itself. the government's environmentally related activities have grown up piecemeal over the years. the time has come to organize them rationally and system systematically. as a major step in this direction i am transmitting today two reorganization plans, one, to establish an environmental protection agency and one to establish within the department of commerce a national oceanic and atmospheric administration. this was the work of a republican president, the epa and noaa. and look what is happening to it today.

then along comes richard nixon. richard nixon used vicks flexibility, distinction between floors and ceilings of appropriations in a policy way and direct opposition to the policy set by congress and refused to spend appropriated funds or cut it by 40% in an effort to bring federal spending down and two things happened in response, there was a whole spate of lawsuit and even more than we've seen now under donald trump. something like 180 lawsuits proceeded, nixon won one of those lost 179 including one that went to the us supreme court. i think even more important is that congress jumped into the act and asserted its authority and pass the impoundment control act which eliminated this flexibility. no longer were appropriations going to be treated as ceilings but rather they were floors and ceilings. the obligation to take care that laws were faithfully executed, commands to spend money. the president is constitutionally obligated to carry out congress's wishes. the impoundment control act does give the president the

what did he say about the nixon interview and the impact that nixon had on him?tle bit with his life and almost as to whether there was some sympathy from dad to nixon, and he would always say i wasn't sympathetic, but i had some level of empathy because, you know, he'd gone through an awful amount, but he couldn't be sympathetic, particularly because some people had gone to jail on his behalf whilst he had been pardoned. and i think in that sense, he never fully forgave nixon as much as a big part. we saw we saw a clip there that was a confrontational clip, but a big part of dad wearing nixon down over the 28 hours was really using david frost the charmer as well. >> so, wilfred, obviously your. >> father and president nixon forever linked. >> because of this. >> interview, but talk to us about what happened once the cameras stopped rolling. you just told us a little. >> bit about how your. >> father felt about. >> it. >> but did the two men. have further interactions down the road where there's more correspondence? >> what was the. >> sense that your dad receiv

how about how about richard nixon? it's interesting that some of the president's supporters talk about a reverse nixon move, meaning that the reason he's so inclined to be nice to president putin is he's trying to peel him away from xi jinping, trying to drive a wedge between russia and china. a little bit, though, it's a poor parallel, like richard nixon exploited the sino-soviet split in 7172. and i do think there's an element of president trump, which is richard nixon's revenge. they have the same enemies, after all. the new york times, harvard, the department of justice, the bureaucracy. and i think in many ways, trump remains influenced by nixon, who was in some ways one of the first people who had influence over him when he was a young real estate guy on the make in new york, back in the twilight years of of richard nixon's life. so that's the analogy that i find helpful. now, i don't think it's very likely that russia and china are going to split just because president trump is on the scene. i think it's unlikel

and gentlemen, welcome to the richard nixon presidential library and museum. my name joe lopez and i have the honor of serving as president and ceo of the richard foundation. it's great have you here tonight for what is sure to be a very compelling and thought provoking discussion here at the nixon foundation. we are dedicated to bringing people together around big ideas, ideas that challenge us, inspire us, and drive us toward solutions. that's what president nixon believed, in bold thinking, fearless leadership. and we at the nixon foundation carry that spirit forward in everything that we do. tonight, we're honored to host someone who embodies that same spirit. steve hilton. steve story is inspiring. he was born the uk to hungarian parents who had fled communist. he studied at oxford, served at the highest of the british government as. head of strategy for prime minister david cameron and then made his way like so many others, to our great land of california. steve has made a tremendous impact since coming to the united states. you know him well from his mu

nixon was able to achieve rapprochement with china and distance beijing from moscow, because. in recent years, china has benefited most from cheaper russian energy resources. the lifting of sanctions against russian oil and gas could shake up world markets and return the kremlin to its leverage. but bloomberg believes that the issue of lifting sanctions on energy cooperation has been under discussion since the first meeting of russian special representative kiril dmitriev with the american delegation in riyadh. it is no coincidence that rumors immediately appeared in the press about pumping gas through the surviving branch of nord stream 2, and trump himself, following these negotiations , indirectly confirmed that this is part of the deal he is offering russia in exchange for slowing down cooperation with china. as a person who studies history, and i do, i understand what is leading to what. the first thing that cannot be allowed is the unification of russia and china. obama is to blame for this union. the trump administration is considering the option of dividing the world i

then along comes richard nixon. and richard nixon used this flexibility, shall we call it? the distinction between floors and ceilings of appropriations in a policy way and -- in direct opposition to the policies set by congress and simply refused to spend appropriated funds or sometimes he would cut it by 40% in an effort to bring federal spending down. two things happened in response. one was that there was a whole spate of lawsuits. even more than we have seen now under donald trump. david: so far. michael: something like 180 lawsuits proceeded and nixon won one of those and lost 179. and one went up to the u.s. supreme court. i think even more important than the court losses is that congress jumped into the act and assorted -- asserted the authority to pass the impoundment control act, which eliminated this flexibility. no longer were appropriations going to be treated as ceilings, but they were floors and ceilings. they were commands and laws. and since the president under article two has the obligation to take care of the laws faithfully executed. once they became com

tonight, i know that our thoughts and prayers are with president nixon's families and many of us, each in our own way, have relived as many of his 50 years in public life as we experienced some of us in opposition of us in support. but it is worth remembering what binds us together as americans and as people. now, having said that. i like garrison keillor a lot than al franken. there for a while i thought he was going to bring wobegon to me, and i. a couple of weeks ago, the vice president got a huge response at the gridiron club when he was wheeled out and a hand truck. you know, i've learned a lot from al gore. and so i had a very plan for my interest tonight, but we couldn't find just the right canoe. i have. i also couldn't figure out i wanted to go up this particular creek with or without a paddle. and so here i am, just standing alone. but i haven't been alone over the last few months. i've gotten a lot of telegrams from people offering me their advice and best wishes in this very difficult time. i brought a few of them here with me tonight. i thought i would share them with you.

i should do the nixon victory thing, but i don't. i do that like that. because we're going to have victory in california for common. we're going to save this beautiful state that we love so much and we exactly. it's going to be victory. i thumped the table to prove it and it's quite loud. sorry about. well, so to be here really is. i was just saying our friends here at the nixon library have done such an incredible job with this amazing institution must get sick of comparisons with the reagan library. but i have to say, i was there last night and i just find this to be a very special place. i said to some of you earlier what, an incredible honor. it for me to be here and actually to have these two events back to back like this and a reminder of what incredible country this is. as you heard, i stand before you now despite the accent. sorry that i'm working on it. not that hard, people seem to think, you know, it's kind of helpful. they think you're clever. i don't think that's. i don't believe it. that i am standing front of you now as a proud american. o

ural demidov factories, and also drove the tar, that the future thirty-seventh us president richard nixonegedly either lived here or often visited in his childhood, either his father or grandfather allegedly worked in one of the copper mines, whether this is true is unknown, but the fact that nixon came to dektyarsk and went down into one of the mines is a historical fact, as is the fact that an american spy plane with a pilot was shot down in the sky over the city a year later, and this also became one of... of the main oral attractions of dektyarsk, well, and what is this ural town famous for today, we will tell you in our new issue, this is a terekona from a mine, how many years have been in this mountain, well, how can i tell you? it was here before me, yeah, and i'm already over 50, and the flag was raised on it a long time ago, well, a long time ago , it's been standing for about five years, these terekonas are part of the history of the city, the calling card of dektyarsk, they grew as the empty rock, after extracting copper ore from it, was dumped near the mines, now children play

i think i'm going to go with nixon first because that is what he's like. the queen nixon frost has spawned all sorts of, you know, of, of of, as i said, tv show, the film theaters this and that. let's play this bit of the interview from 1977. >> there are some. >> actions that. have to be covert. by by covert. let me put it this way. or in this case, legal. right. well, let me say that it is legal. in my view. >> so what in a sense, you're. >> saying is. that there are. certain situations and. the houston plan or that. >> part of it was one. >> of. them where the president can decide. >> that it's. >> in the. best interest. >> of. >> the nation. >> or. >> something and do something. >> illegal. yeah. >> well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal. >> by definition. >> exactly. >> i mean, seriously, that that phrase, that sentence, that piece of conviction from richard nixon, i mean, stands out in history. >> well, we mentioned, you know, picking episodes that i think we were always going to do nixon episode, but picking episodes tha

or is he actually a step further than what nixon was doing? it's a very interesting point. i think you've been in the 1st there. and when he came out of the nuclear deed, he needed the want it to have his own deal. but he had killed the trustworthy iranians, and they were on is also thought that they, they didn't have any leverage to go back to the table. the context was very different. so now iran is weak. you're on, wants to deal on trump also wants to deal. and he doesn't want to get involved in a water in the middle east. but what trump is showing through this speech or meeting with the new a, a city and president and promising that is lifting sanctions. he's also showing that he's an american president that is willing to tear up america's traditional foreign policy play book that we don't talk to enemies. that we're concerned with democracy in their societies that we care about. you know, the kinds of regimes they have, that he's much more cotton, right? so if, so he's willing to accept a syria, he's willing to live sanctions. and he's also washing his hands of the, of
