My grandmother, Mary, was Pat Nixon's second cousin, and my family was invited to the 1973 Inauguration - my family also went in 1969, but I was too young - and we went to the ball, the parade, and later met Mr. Nixon at the White House for the luncheon that followed. I have so many vivid memories of that day. We were able to walk all over the White House, unattended, as if just visiting another family's home, and, when Mr. Nixon spoke to us, he was very Presidential and grateful for how many from both extended families were able to attend the Inaugural. We didn't know how big the Watergate scandal would become. And, at one point during the luncheon, Henry Kissinger came in, spoke to President Nixon, and they both left, which my uncles told me later was about China. I have a picture of me shaking hands with Nixon. It was an incredible day for my family.
It's an unedited video of a series of Nixon interviews that actually never found a buyer. Hence the lack of reason to edit. It was supposed to be an answer to the David Frost interviews. Hence the interviewer is Frank Gannon, a pro Nixon guy. Interesting nonetheless. Thanks for commenting!!
There was respect on Nixon's part toward Kennedy, at least through the 1960 election. Kennedy thought Nixon was smart but inauthentic. But then again, Nixon wasn't alone on that list. Kennedy didn't have time for a lot of people. I'm not saying that as a slam, it's just the way he was. Nixon always wanted to be accepted by the east coast elites, same goes for Johnson. Johnson tried to fit in by accumulating power. Nixon tried to fit in by accumulating money. Neither of them ever made it, and they both resented it for the rest of their lives.
Both Kennedy and Nixon liked each other in their early years in Washington. In fact, when Nixon ran against democrat Helen Gahagan Douglas (who coined the term,'Tricky Dick') in 1950 for the Senate, Kennedy didn't like Douglas and privately hoped she'd lose.
I was in my second grade classroom. I remember the school janitor came to the door and called my teacher over. He whispered in her ear and she burst into tears. I remember it like it was yesterday…
I remember being in school and the principal came over the p.a. with the announcement and the teacher running out of the room crying. We were dismissed for the day after that.
@@stevebrown5675 I noticed that myself. It was nearly an hour before Oswald was arrested in the movie theater. Nixon probably misremembered when he made the call.
Thanks Kevin this is great and I had never seen it. It is amazing to go back and watch the interviews and press conferences JFK had in the summer and fall of 1963. There is also an interesting phone call between Eisenhower and JFK I believe concerning Cuba and the '62 Naval blockade. Back then the leaders of both parties would at least share information and ideas in a civil manner and try to look at all the alternatives. Sadly, I really miss those days.
My mother had something similar happen. She was driving in a car that didn't have a radio and noticed a lot of people acting strange. I guess she stopped and asked someone and that was how she found out. So Nixon's story resonates with me for that reason.
An interesting fact that was not touched on here in this interview - Nixon was at Love Field Airport waiting to catch his flight out of Dallas when JFK arrived on Air Force One.
LBJ’s mistress said that there was a big meeting in Dallas the night before JFK was killed and that LBJ, Nixon and some rich Texans were there. LBJ said after tomorrow, I won’t have to deal with those damn Kennedys ever again.
Funny, Richard Nixon knew exactly where he was when he learned that JFK was shot in Dallas, but George H.W. Bush couldn't remember. I guess Nixon just had a better memory than Bush did.
George and Barbara were three hours away in Tyler, Texas on 11/22/1963 at a campaign fundraiser for Bush's senate bid the following year. The narrative of Bush somehow forgetting where he was that day has been debunked many times over.
@@DoubleJ1203 No, nothing has been debunked about where George H.W. Bush was on November 22, 1963 because there is evidence that he was in Dallas as well as Tyler on that date. Can you provide a video where Bush explains where he was the way Nixon does here? No, you can't, because Bush has always been cryptic about his whereabouts on that date. But we do know something about Bush and JFK's murder with absolute certainty. He thought that the notion that JFK was killed by a deluded gunman was funny. The proof of that is on video where he discusses the notion here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jOkTtpzoulc.html
The very FACT that a Soon to be President, just happened to be in Dallas at the time of this. Well gosh. Out of all the cities in the United States. All I'll say.!
OSHA, The Environmental Protection Agency, The Clean Water Act, and if those idiots would have stayed away from the Watergate complex, all of our citizens would have health insurance , quite frankly the last liberal President of the United States.
“Was it a right wing nut” notice how even back then there were political radicals like antifa or proud boys and Nixon was not afraid to call them out regardless of political affiliation
You are correct! And they hated Kennedy. When he went to Dallas there was a wanted poster in one of the newspapers from the John Birch Society basically having a mugshot of JFK stating wanted for treason. Listing all these phony claims about Kennedy. The only difference is there was no internet back then thank God. Thanks for commenting and thanks for visiting the channel!
@@jaredflanery2715 Don't have time to respond to stupid comments, you are wrong, go find out about the Nixon Vietnamization of the war concept, have a nice life!
@@dc10fomin65 Vietnamization doesn't account for the increase in aerial bombardment, or the illegal expansion into the rest of Indochina. Either way he participated in a genocidal war.
you're all assuming the guy in NY ran up and told the cab driver the minute it happened. How do you know it wasn't 30-40 minutes after? How do you know by the time Nixon got home, enough time had elapsed that Oswald was captured? Put the damn tin foil hats away for a few seconds.
Oswald has been caught by then & obviously they ran his profile & turned out he was a Marxist who has been to USSR before. As usual for most American Marxist, communist are the same thing more so for a right winger like Hoover. Apparently Soviets got that news too, they were sh*t scared that they might get accused of killing the American president.
It probably took a little while back in those days for the new to travel around the country. So when Nixon over heard to two cab drivers talking about it it had probably been half an hour to 45 mins after. But idk, just a guess
That's because Oswald had been selected to be the "patsy" to take the fall for the assassination by the people who were really behind it. Hoover knew about the plan and was in on it. Documents released in 2017 show that Hoover, two days after the assassination, was telling FBI offices all over the country that the FBI's most important job was to convince the public it was Oswald, acting alone. The FBI moved in and took the investigation away from the Dallas police. The fact that Hoover was already deciding what the "official" verdict would be on the assassination - that a lone nut had done it - shows he had no interest in doing a real investigation. He wanted to suppress the truth and pin it all on Oswald. The evidence that it was a conspiracy and that U.S. officials were deeply involved is almost endless. The Warren Report is full of lies and obfuscations. The best book on it, most agree, is "JFK and the Unspeakable" by James Douglass.
It wasn't 20 minutes later, it was 20 minutes after Nixon heard the news from some guy in the street in New York - we don't know what time Nixon talked to that guy, and he had pretty much just touched down in New York after a flight from Dallas, so wouldn't have heard anything en route, and the cab driver didn't have a radio, so he wouldn't have heard anything. Oswald was arrested a little over an hour after the shooting, so if Nixon heard the news from the guy on the street ca hour-hour and a half after it happened, then got to his hotel 20-30 minutes later, Oswald could have been in custody for an hour or more already. The FBI knew who he was, they had a file on him from his defection to the Soviet Union/re-fection to the US and from his association with Communist groups in Louisiana and Texas.
The FBI had a file on Oswald. Any American who defected to the Soviet Union and returns would 100% have a FBI file. Thank you for commenting. Please subscribe if you want to.
Hoover was part of the JFK assassination. Jfk wanted Hoover to resign due to his elderly age. When LBJ became president he gave Hoover the benefit to be FBI director for life .
@@luciensartikilledjohnf.ken1689 I never understood why the Kennedys were intimidated by Hoover. They obviously had information on his personal life that they could have basically had created a mutual sure destruction situation. I always thought that if JFK had told Hoover that if he had revealed his affairs that he definitely of course as president would have to resign. But also JFK could tell Hoover I will reveal the fact that you are homosexual which at that time was far worse in the eyes of America and would have destroyed the director and pushed him into isolation. I never understood the entire thing. They obviously knew that Hoover was gay and living with Clyde Tolson the deputy director. I'm sure if they gave Hoover this choice that he would definitely have backed off and resigned. As far as the assassination is concerned I am not of the belief that it was a conspiracy but always welcome other people's opinions. Thanks for commenting please like And subscribe if you want to!
@@kevincorcoran6493 Hoover was always loyal to the Presidency. He would from time to time complain and throw his weight around but at the end of the day, he served the President whomever held that position.
@@kevincorcoran6493 Oswald was arrested a few hours later. The "identity of the shooter could not have been known yet. Oswald got off work about the time of the assassination, walked home, ate lunch, then walked to the movie theatre. Halfway through the film he was arrested. How they knew where he was is just another in a long list of reasons why people believe the CIA was responsible for Kennedy's murder. It should also be known that Oswald's income tax return for the last year he was alive has been sealed and cannot be viewed or examined by the public. They say it would breech national security. Of course that's not true, an examination of Oswald's tax return would prove he worked for the CIA.
I remember hearing that Kennedy and Nixon were friends, although not close friends, until Joseph Kennnedy caused a rift. Do you know a fact check on that? Oh, and I was in school, just back from lunch, when an announcement was made and radio report played over classroom intercoms. The room seemed haunting. I remember when I got home my mom and dad insisted (probably the only time and definately the best thing they ever did) that my sister and I live in front of the television for the next few days. "This is history. This is important for you to see," I remember my dad saying. This coming November it will have been 53 years and it still seems so fresh in my memory. Also I believe it is sad that President Nixon is only remembered for one foolish decision, and not for the many positive things he did during his presidency.
I agree with you completely on Nixon. Yes he and JFK were friends but not close enough to be confidants. Both had offices across the hall from each other when they served in the House of Representatives. Both came to the house at the same time in 1947. Nixon was invited to JFK's wedding. The major Rift began during the presidential campaign in 1960. Nixon was one to hold grudges which was his Achilles heel. Had it not been for Kennedy running in 1960 or had Kennedy lost in 1960 the friendship more than likely would have survived. Interesting footnote, when President Kennedy's official portrait was finished Nixon was President for several months. Jacqueline Kennedy return to the White House for what I believed to be the first and last time since leaving. Nixon to his credit did not make a publicity event out of it. It was done completely in secret. The Nixons hosted mrs. Kennedy and her two children along with the Nixon daughters for dinner that evening. Nixon took John Kennedy jr. To the Oval Office to show him his father's desk. No pictures were taken of this event but it was confirmed by both parties. Thanks for commenting please like And subscribe if you would like.
@@kevincorcoran6493 You are right Nixon did good things such as starting the EPA. Had Watergate not happened, I think South Vietnam might be free today.
@@neilmurray6943 I am saddened that he was not able to reveal the Watergate affair to the public. He had nothing to do with it but the cover up was his doom. Nevertheless, I liked him and JFK.
There are some of us who remember that President Nixon was the greatest foreign policy president of all time. I think that if it wasn't for that one foolish decision (covering up Watergate) he would have been one of our greatest presidents.
Richard Nixon was a crook during his entire public career. It started out with the slush fund that led to his Checkers speech. Then he committed treason by convincing the South Vietnamese to balk at President Johnson's peace talks so that he could win the 1968 election. Then there were all of the problems that the IRS found out with his taxes and financial chicanery that led to his "I am not a crook" statement. Watergate was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
President Nixon was a statesman after he left office. President Kennedy’s death had nothing to do with the politics here in Dallas. There was a lot of support for his re-election.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Both JFK and Nixon were different types of men but intellectuals. I am not going to buy into the conspiracies. Thanks for commenting please like And subscribe if you want
@@larrywheels762 I don't believe it was but even if it actually was a hit job buy a political entity or whatever it's kind of pointless now because everyone involved is more than likely dead or drooling. Thanks for commenting!
I remember where I was when J.F.K was assassinated in 1963--I was in school in class in New York City when it was broadcast by Walter Cronkite that the President was shot in Dallas -----then the class was dismissed and I hurried home to view the news on my families B-W circular cabinet T.V, , where I am sure the whole country was glued for the next several weeks .!
Nixon was a great president. His foreign relations were far better than any president before or since. Watergate should not have been the issue it was. I am giving President Nixon his just due.
He was a deeply paranoid man who saw enemy everywhere. He came from a poor background & made all the way to the pinnacle of power, at every moment he thought people are out to get him. This is why even though he didn't order the breaking in, in his paranoia he didn't prevent it or report it to Congress, instead he tried to bury it. Also all the recorded tapes, the man was his own worst enemy. After having a great political career, being a senator, 8 yr vice president to Eisenhower, narrowly losing to Kennedy in 60, losing a Governor race to pat brown in after that, being declared finished by media, then coming back in 68 with stunning win, then reelected with 520 freaking electoral votes from 538 & also 60% popular vote, one of the highest in history. He ruined it all himself. If not for Watergate he would have been seen as one of the great presidents by conservatives in America.
@@epa2349 true, he was a lot more moderate (a centrist by todays standards). So maybe his presidency would have resulted in the modern day gop having an affection towards centrism.
I was in the 4th grade. We got back from lunch and nothing was happening. My teacher was very quiet and other teachers kept coming to the door and they were whispering. I thought is it nuclear war; do we need to get under the desks. They never told us anything. Then they announced that school was being let out early. I got to my mother's car and said what happened. She said Kennedy was killed. I was so relieved (it wasn't war) that I just blurted out well, maybe Johnson would be a better president. My mother said no, he won't be. I know it seems insensitive now. We were off school from Friday afternoon until Wednesday for the funeral. I watched it all on TV, the funeral, even seeing Oswald shot live on TV. We went to school on Wednesday and then out for Thanksgiving Thursday and Friday. BTW, I was a Nixon fan and liked him even in 1960 when I was just 6. I didn't dislike the Kennedys though.
i was in the first grade, and didn't understand what was happening. we were sent home early from school. The next month, our teachers told us, after the Xmas holiday, to bring in a present we were given , and do a show and tell type brief story. I brought in a toy rifle, my parents had bought me for Xmas. When it was my turn, my first grade teacher grabbed that rifle in disgust, and tossed it across the classroom floor. I was too young, as a six year old to understand why, and I'll never forget that. Talk about bad timing, for a Xmas gift.
In 1963 I was a Signal Corps lieutenant stationed at the NATO HQ in Naples. President Kennedy's last stop on his European visit was at the NATO HQ where he made some remarks. I had some involvement getting the PA system up and working and, details aside, I never recall seeing a Secret Service type even when I was roaming around the speakers platform just prior to Kennedy arriving. I never once was stopped, most likely because I was in uniform. Sure was a different world then.

I just come across this video of President Nixon describing his last conversation with JFK. I always, always felt that President Nixon's greatness was vastly over shadowed by mainstream media's propaganda machine. After democrats (Kennedy then LBJ) got us into the Vietnam War, President Nixon was astute and smart enough to get us out of the war as winners. President Nixon had a great foreign policy of (no nonsense) in dealing with hostile nations, especially communist North Vietnam. When the President offered to broker peace between the two countries of North and South Vietnam, the communist VC refused. The President made another offer, through Sec of State Henry Kissinger,
I used to work for his library and i learned so much about him. He did more in 5 years than most Presidents did in 8! He's become on of my favorite Presidents.
I would figure cabs don't carry radios because they have to get communication between themselves and the office. For future fairs. Thanks for visiting my channel and thank you for commenting!
Hahaha hahaha 😆 best "presidents" don't resign. Kent state murders. Best "presidents" are reelected. Trump: one term. Twice impeached. Liar. January 6 Your values are twisted. After this last mass shooting your criminal republicans are losing voters.
So, Hoover knew it was Oswald 30 minutes after the shooting? But Oswald wasn’t arrested until 90 minutes after the shooting. I think Nixon is smart enough to know full well that he just told us something. Did everyone miss it?
This is not how the last meeting with JFK was portrayed in the movie "NIXON." In the movie he tells Haldeman that kennedy reamed him out for keeping the Bay of Pigs plan secret from him and then called him, "A two bit grocery clerk from Whittier."
Nixon had just landed at LaGuardia Airport. His cab was en route from LGA to midtown Manhattan when the passerby alerted the driver about the shooting. They were stopped at a red light about to enter the Queensboro (59th Street) bridge on the Queens side.
@@kevincorcoran6493 I heard a version in which Nixon had trouble getting a taxi, maybe even raining. He finally had to step into the street and fling out his arms making his famous -double "V" sign just so he would look like himself. Apocryphal story.
They were until the 1960 campaign fractured the friendship. One book even details that Nixon wept when Kennedy as a Senator was supposedly dying from Addisons disease in the 50s. I believe that the friendship would have been healed had Kennedy lived. I'll be posting Nixon on his friendship with JFK in the near future. Thanks!
Although it would probably be inappropriate to ask about it, I’m confident that the thought of “that could’ve been me” passed through Nixon’s mind, at some point.
Not really----Nixon was no where near Dallas that November early afternoon .----secondly he was not even a near competitor to J.F K. his chance for President only came when President L.B.J resigned his office.--years later...!
@@toddsmitts there's a big difference between 1960 when J.F.K was largely unknown and 1963 when J.F k was extremely popular --additionally, and as you well know ----J.F.K also won the electorate----and the real blow to Nixon was when he sweated on camera when he debated J.F.K -----simply put--Nixon F----------ked up bigtime..!
It's called an address book, memory and a land-line. Oh and there were cell phones but not every person on earth knew it or fathomed they existed. There was nothing impressive about that statement.😂
A former Vice President still had clout and contacts. And he would not have dialed Hoover directly, he’d have likely gone through a switchboard at Justice. Even a man as powerful as Hoover would have taken a call from a former VP. And it’s possible that it didn’t happen immediately, but Nixon would have left a number where he could be reached and Hoover has the switchboard operator connect him.
I read a transcript of this interview a while back and was utterly stunned that {President Nixon did not drop six F-bombs and a bunch of Expletive Deleteds😂!!
@@richardbrown1189 Oswald was arrested at 1:46 central time. That was one hour and 16 minutes after the murder. But Nixon didn’t say he called Hoover 25 min after the moment JFK was shot. He just said it took another 25 minutes after he heard the news to get home and call Hoover.
That was after a stranger approached the taxi cab Nixon was riding in. I imagine that could've been a good while after the shooting actually took place.
Nice of Kennedy to call the Nixons when they were on vacation. Wow, to hear about JFK's assassination from a guy who ran up to your cab on a New York street. No car radio, no cellphones in 1963.
This interview was from 1983. I have the entire interview. I'll see if I can find some more stuff to post from it after the holidays. Thank you for commenting and visiting the channel! It really means a lot.
Kennedy was probably just giving a courtesy call. After all Nixon was a former vice president in the same Hotel. The day of his death Kennedy also called former vice president under FDR Texan John Nance Garner to wish him a happy birthday. Thanks for commenting and thank you for visiting my channel!
The JFK assassination is such a mystery so Tangled Up that I don't think we'll ever find out the truth. Thanks for visiting the channel and commenting!
How would Hoover have known so quickly who shot JFK, and his background? It would have been interesting to go into detail with Nixon about the timing of his landing, cab ride, and call to Hoover
It most certainly was a right-wing City however, JFK was greeted quite friendly by the vast majority of the crowd during the motorcade visit. I am not of the belief that the assassination was a conspiracy and Oswald himself was not a Texan by birth and only lived in the state for a brief time.

@@OnePost909 I am not a fan of Roger by any means but keep an open mind. This book has some good points. Watch the You Tube with LBJ’s mistress and he told her on the evening of the 21st.
Bet Nixon was thinking on the way to the airport, as he traveled through the blocked off streets, that but for a few votes he would be the one riding through the Streets of Dallas in an open car as President... And later how Lucky he wasen't.
I disagree with that premise. If JFK was there for a nonpartisan event, Nixon might have shown up for a similar event. However, JFK was in Dallas on a strictly partisan event. He needed to get the Texas Liberals and Texas Conservatives in The Democratic Party united, as part of the first step of the 1964 Democratic Campaign. Nixon wouldn't have made a trip to Dallas and if he did, theres a 50/50 chance that the bubbletop might be on his car. (Nixon dealt with rioters during a visit in the 1950s, but he was VP at the time.) However, if was President in 1963, he could have taken the course of "not worrying" because of a similar situation, based on prior experience. But, Nixon might have taken the "opposite point of view" because he was The President. There are times when a President must act for what is best for the American People, instead of how he would want to do...
@@robertpolityka8464 Nixon would have not have fired John Dulles after the Bay of Pigs or threatened to splinter the CIA into a million pieces and scatter it to the wind...as JFK did. Nixon help build and fortify the CIA as VP. Nothing would have happened to Nixon. You are incredibly naïve.
Thank you to Kevin Corcoran, for this video. ………….. would I be correct in saying that President Nixon was a rather difficult man to “ know “? To the best of my knowledge and understanding , he was a dedicated man , a “tough “ , perhaps a gruff man but with a gentle or gentler heart ? I must read more about him but am always interested in the opinions of others who are better read and knowledgeable - thus with a greater perception and of greater experience of his policies Thank you.
I'm sorry that this response is a year late! I agree with your perspective that he was a difficult man to know. He was basically a very shy man.

When they went to break, the interviewer leaned in and whispered "now tell me Dick what really happened in Dallas and what you really know but can't say on the air?"
Ben Bradlee said in a 1975 Playboy Magazine article that he was with JFK when Richard Nixon lost the 1962 race for California Governor, and in a press conference afterwards when the former Vice President lashed out at the media saying, 'You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore,' Kennedy replied, 'Sick.'
It has been shown many times over the years that Dems. stole that election. See Illinois and WV. I am sure that was a bitter pill for Nixon to swallow, as it was pretty much known even back then.
How would J Edgar Hoover know who shot Kennedy BEFORE Oswald was even suspected of being the assassin? Oswald wasn't formally arraigned for the assassination until 1:30 AM on November 23.
Not only that, but Nixon claimed that he spoke with JFK on the phone in Rome and six weeks later he was dead. JFK was in Rome in early July so it was more like 4 1/2 months. I don't know when he gave this interview but I think it can be safely said that RN was losing his memory about past events a little bit by this time.
I'm learning a lot from the comments in here. I just still can't believe, all these decades later, that the NFL commissioner didn't cancel, all the games that Sunday
The way he tells it, sounds like Hoover was pigeon-holing Oswald before he was even charged. The initial arrest was made for the shooting of Tippit. O was not additionally charged until later that night.
@@kevincorcoran6493 yea from what I read hoover hated the Kennedys but most of all Bobby with these types corruption is only corrupt when someone else is doing it and you can get leverage from it ,they was all at it
@@Fubar-tq7vz He liked John Bobby was a big mouth who he told him I have got files on your whole family and I will expose you but I respect your brother John . Hoover got on the phone called Joe and told him to control his boy. Joe did that and said your his boss ( attorney general ) but he is your elder and you will respect your elder. Hoover hated Harry Truman worse than any president he served. He said behind closed doors to people who knew him I would rather deal with the Kennedys than that stupid hick Truman.
Five different men who would be President of the United States were in Dallas that day. Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford and George H.W. Bush. One day, when Bush was in office he had a presser on the anniversary of JFK's murder. A reporter asked Bush if he remembered where he was when he heard about Kennedy's death. Bush claimed to have no recollection. Fortunately, there was a reporter present named Jerome Corzi from World Net Daily. Corzi had been doing independent study of Kennedy's murder and knew where Bush was that day. It was reported in the Dallas Morning News on November 22, 1963 that Bush was just a few miles away giving a speech, When confronted with this, Bush became enraged and his administration began to hassle Corzi, even trying to connect him to espionage. None of their claims stuck. This is the same treatment Daniel Ellsberg got in 1971 when he revealed in his book "The Pentagon Papers" that the Gulf of Tonkin incident that the government had used to exacerbate the Viet Nam War, had in fact never happened. The Nixon administrations "plumbers", led by G Gordon Liddy broke into Ellsberg's psychiatrist office looking for anything they could find. They accused Ellsberg of spying, but judges always threw the charges out. Finally in 2005, 41 years after the Gulf of Tonkin incident supposedly occurred, the government admitted in never happened. It was merely used to gain public acceptance the accelerate the war.
I've read about Bush being in Dallas that day. Is there any video tape of that press conference? Usually every presidential press conference is on videotape. I had no idea Ford was in Dallas. Can you elaborate on that? I can't find anything on my research. Thanks for commenting!
Except Bush wasn't in Dallas at the time of the Assassination. He and Barbara were three hours away in Tyler, Texas at a Campaign Fundraiser for his 1964 Senatorial Campaign.
I believe Truman and/or Eisenhower had also been in Dallas recently as well. All these people in Dallas about the same time...is that called 'serendipity'?
Most of that makes sense (the above video mentions Nixon, Johnson was in the next car and Bush ran a business in that community) but can you cite Ford's location and why? A Michigan Congressman, in the other party, plus I had never heard that one before? Thanks.
@@kevinbergin2225 I'm going by what Jerome Corsi said. I gave the interview source in a response above. E. Howard Hunt ( a Nixon aide) who filmed a deathbed confession said he was there working for the CIA disguised as a homeless person and the CIA dubbed the assassination as "The Big Event". Hunt's confession was posted on RU-vid by his grandsons, it might still be there. Hunt, you may recall also got in trouble in the Watergate scandal. Other things you should consider- when JFK arrived at Parkland Hospital, the doctors immediately began trying to perform a tracheotomy on him. A tracheotomy is preformed on the throat to allow the passage of air to the lungs when air passage has been compromised. Tracheotomies can only be performed on puncture wounds, not exit wounds (ask any surgeon). This tells you JFK's throat wound was a hit from the front. That fact is in the medical report. Several years ago I was watching a special on television about the assassination. When they were about to swear LBJ in as President, the media asked Jackie Kennedy if she wanted to change her clothes for the swearing in ceremony as they were still covered with JFK's blood and brain matter. Her response? "No, I want THEM to see what THEY'VE done" Them? They've? She knew who killed her husband and why. I heard her say it right on television.
I'm surprised the conspiracy theorists haven't tied Nixon to the assassination given that he was in Dallas at the same time and phoned J. Edgar Hoover immediately afterwards.
Dan forged documents Rather wanted to claim it in the 70s and claim that the Watergate plumbers were the ones on the grassy knoll and G.Gordon Liddy was Badgeman, but Walter Cronkite wasn't having it. If they had tried running it cbs would likely have been sued out of existence as G. Gordon Liddy was testifying in federal court in New York at the time of the Kennedy assassination and definitely wasn't Badgeman in Dallas
As a 62-year-old man I never in my wildest imaginings thought we would have a president so bad that he would make Richard Nixon look like a man of high moral and ethical standards, then we got Trump.
Trump: our greatest and most accomplished modern President. Quid Pro Joe: most corrupt VP in US history, at least 3 books out detailing this. Now, easily the worst President in US history. What Nixon did was a joke compared to the high crimes and misdemeanors of the Hussein Obama and now the Biden administrations. Covered up by a complicit and corrupt media. Everything they accused Trump of doing, they in fact did. Turns out Trump was guilty of nothing except underestimating the lengths his enemies would go to in order to try destroying him. You were saying?
relatively speaking, he was. nixon was 10 million times the patriot trump is. both in his election loss in 1960 and his resignation as president, nixon put the country first and spared it an ordel/constitutional crisis. also, he respected the court decision and did turn over the tapes minus the gap of course. there were lines he wouldn't cross. the only lesson trump learned from his presidency is that if he gets another chance he will be more aggressive asserting his power and ignoring the laws, ethics, morality and any sense of standards or decency.
@@phosgene2 Excuse me, but what laws, ethics, morality, or standards of decency did Trump violate? Typical leftist double talk. Easily the most investigated and lied about Pres in history. Everything Quid Pro Joe and Crooked Hillary accused Trump of doing, they in fact did. Everybody knows that. Investigations are ongoing but many of us are dubious if the real criminals will ever see jail time due to the incredible amount of corruption at every level of the swamp including phony Republican never Trumpers. The difference with Trump is he fights back. That's why so many people love him and will never abandon him. They see the country going to Hell and the economy in tatters, corruption everywhere. Open borders, 2 million illegal alien invaders and counting, and getting for free what the rest of us have to work for. All to get more illegal Democrat voters. We are the laughing stock of the world in just 2 short years. Under Trump we were energy independent and kicking Russia, China, and Iran in the ass. Only to have it all flushed down the drain with massive election fraud in at least 7 states, leading to our current national crisis. Biden is the worst Pres ever. What Nixon did was a joke in comparison to the lies and corruption of Hillary, Obama, and Amtrak Joe. Times have sure changed. He didn't order the break in at Watergate, he only covered up for those who did it. Stupid of him, really. He had traitors in his midst. He won in a 49 state landslide, the whole thing was paranoid foolishness. He should have seen what was at stake and turned in the guilty ones if he wanted to save the country from the disaster that followed. When he saw the Kennedy fraud that cost him the election, he should have fought back like Trump. People like you want the Republicans to just be good losers. Trump says the Hell with that. Criminal fraud needs to be called out for what it is. I'm sure if Trump's people were guilty of massive election fraud, you would just want Hillary and Lunch Pail Joe to suck it up and take the loss "for the good of the country", right? Don't make me laugh. How hypocritical you and all leftists are. Hillary's people concocted a wild story about Russian collusion that tore the country apart for 5 years, only to be proven baseless and now her campaign manager admits she ordered the whole thing KNOWING it was all a lie. Biden and Obama ordered their fraudulent FBI to run with it. Hillary has been on a six year book and talk show tour saying Trump was an illegitimate President. And now you say Trump should be more like the great patriot Nixon and just lick his wounds and move on? What total nonsense. Biden's approval ratings are the lowest in history. Americans are sick of the lies and corruption. They want someone to fight back against corruption. They want Trump.
@reneleclerc6119 no that's not what I said at all, what I said was he also accused MLK of being a communist. Excuse me if I didn't explain it in the correct way.
The big pigs happen only 3 months into Kennedy's presidency. It was a plan hatched by the Eisenhower administration. Kennedy at the time was of course new to office and trusted the Joint Chiefs advice. But it was an enormous screw up. But he took responsibility for it and it's popularity went actually up in the polls. When was the last time we ever heard of president who took responsibility for anything.
