The Story of His Life 

I would say a lot inside America also do not know this side of Nixon

@@matts.9330 True. The press hated him, so their reporting of him was usually negative.

We have statesman? Where? Nothing since this man, compares to this man. Only Trump can understand media hatred like this man experienced it

Like the other guy said. Too many people inside of the US don't understand this.

Some of us outside America have always appreciated him and admired his statesmanship. As an 8 year-old, I woke myself up to watch his resignation live at 2.00am London time. A vice presidential letter he sent to a campaign worker during the 1960 Presidential election adorns my study wall, which has three shelves of books about or by him. He was and remains _my_ President and under the new Supreme Court rules, his asking the CIA to turn off the FBI investigation into Watergate wouldn't have been prosecutable!

Amen

I agree on him being underrated, but let's be real: he fell victim mainly to his own flaws. Greatness is all too often accompanied by hubris. He climbed high, fell deep, and grew wise recovering from that.

How you know a country is in trouble is when a leader breaks his commitment to his country and revisionist claim him a hero at the expense of Freedom of the Press... People who do this are either ignorant of American history, they might be a foreign agent, they could possibly be defending their leader who has committed similar acts... In conclusion, Nixon's resignation is a testament that when the guardrails are in effect, a leader cannot defile the Executive branch of government. Clearly fifty years later, the moral code of a country has taken on an ethical rot...

Watergate poisoned our system permanently. Same thing now on steroids. All thanks to the Democratic Party.

Victim? He went to great lengths to cover up the Watergate break-ins. He only had himself to blame.

😂 PEOPLE BECOME GREAT AFTER DIEING 😂 I DID TOO BYE

@@EffectiveLearning-ek6vo have a lovely trip. Be sure to take a dictionary with you.

​@williamdonahue6617 lol! well said. and also to bob dole.. he was a great man too..

@@EffectiveLearning-ek6vo I think he is still alive here? No?

"SUCCES IS NOT FINAL. DEFEAT IS NOT FATAL-IT's THE COURAGE TO CONTINUE THAT IS ESSENTIAL" Winston Churchill ❤

Nothings changed since

Ah, what other recent president could speak like this?

"There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white. Or a rape."- Richard Nixon​@mrsteamer

I agree

@@marieabraham8319 he was literally racist, homophobic, and antisemitic. Good president, bad guy.

Me to. It was a set up. He was so right..

*criminal genius that was the problem

​@@user-ms7fg6sd4j no . If you want to tag him , then in all fairness you can tag most of our presidents with the same . Joey , for example , will probably get away with " political " crimes that are far worse than anything Trump has ever done . But Trump was an outsider , and joey b. was a " made man " in the government establishment .

​@user-ms7fg6sd4j It is obvious he wasn't a criminal just like President Trump but the evil deep state keeps you in their cult.

@@user-ms7fg6sd4j Unfortunately he was. But he came full round after the fact and seemed contrite. I realize too little too late but there is real substance in his humbled testimony

there is a Rainbow in EVERY true Tear

Nixon was a great president next to what we have nowadays beside Trump

Me too ... Me too!

same.. he was so villified.. yet he had core values, a solid intellect, and did so much for us..

Yes He is held back his tears and i hope those media and people who try to sinking his presidency have seen this video and has some awareness about what they did to a president did so much for this country!!

Warrior

​@@pinghsu4607also what their evil did to rob us of a man who had excellent ideas about how to help us. They harmed far more people than Nixon.. i now understand m

Democracies really should require some nuanced understanding from voters.

Me too. I thought he was just a criminal. But these videos show him to be honest & wise.

@@erindoyle6650 The only political institution that hasn’t fallen under deserved attack is the U.S. Voter. What a hopelessly uninformed lot the American voter is. New patriotic poster: “We DON’T want you!”

​@erindoyle6650 he decided to take on the CIA. Most of the watergate burglars were former CIA employees.

People..need to do own " Homework " Cannot be swayed by corrupt news media with their own agendas Must do your own investigation of a person's background...what has he contributed....in life....a balance 1 mistake is not the whole of any one of us...God uses the broken and least expected.. to confound the wise I did in younger years...but began to realize all is not true facts as media Spews out I now see this This was what the media spew out about Donald Trump ...for their purpose. To hate deflame.deflate.. When you hear reporting all one sided Whoever,, only negative...no positives This is a lie from the pit of hell We all are imperfect human beings we do good and fail too ! A BALANCE. ..SEE CLESTLY RICHARD NIXON WAS A REMARKABLE MAN ...VERY INTELLIGENCE... A TRUE STATESMAN...HONORABLE WE DO NOT HAVE ALL ON THE WATERGATE..ONLY GOD KNOWS SAID HE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF IT STEPPED DOWN IN VIDEO SO THE U.S COULD NOT BE BOUND AND MOVE FORWARD FOR THE GOOD OF THE NATION IN OTHER VIDEOS HE WAS ALWAYS EXAMINING HIS SELF PERSONAL FAILURES AND CORRECTING COURSE...HE HAS GREAT FAITH IN GOD.. HE WAS THE ONLY PRESIDENT WHO ENTERED THE WHITE HOUSE AS PRESIDENT WHO WAS NOT WEALTHY AND HAD WORKED HARD TO OBTAIN ALL HE ACCOMPLISHED HE DID NOT AS RECENT PRESIDENTS HAVD LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE RICH HE DID LEARN A LOT AND ADJUSTED TO LIFE AGAIN AFTER AND DID NOT ALLOW THE PAST TO CONTROL THE FUTURE ALL BEGINS IN THE MIND JESUS SAID PHILIPPIANS 4:8 KJV Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things He did... How terrible we are not taught.. This in youth It is critical thinking My 1st non credit college course Best course we ever took God bless everyone !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

how was it a curse? care to explain?

Someone that powerful will be hard to deal with, but knowing him was a gift nonetheless. I am lucky to have had that. People like that are rare, @mikegregory7844.

His intense personality caused great polarization in the media, the public eye, and among politicians. There seemed very little room for compromise, although that was partly a result of the cold war political atmosphere.

​@@ericstamps4717also , in an earlier clip he talked about the campaign promises he made, which included his wanting to reform much of DC, kinda like draining the swamp, and his enemies saw to it that he didn't get the chance.

Horseshit! He was a perverted crook who has been our only president to resign in total disgrace.

No there wasn't. You can't do what Nixon did and expect to stay in office. He truly was a fool. They were talking about killing people at one point.

Would you like list?

It was his own doing. He had just won by a huge landslide and his paranoia got the best of him, it led him to order his inner circle to spy on the DNC and to cover it up. He much like trump believed that everyone was put to get him, it was him against the establishment, against the media. This was a feedback loop which led him to make rash decisions.

Like those in the current "administration"? 🤔

@@johnusa3150 Proof!?

Great indeed... Because you didn't fight in Vietnam

There’s only one R N .

@@alexsheremett3097 It was President Nixon who finally ended the war in Vietnam.

Nixon got admitted to the Ivy League. However, he was not able to go because he did not have the money. His was a fine mind.

​@@maryshanley329 he did attend Duke University for law, not an easy task to this day

And not so much for himself, i believe, but for the country that suffered a lot and also suffered because of his not being able to do for it what he deeply believed needed to be done.. So we suffered because of it without realizing it.

I remember, at age 9 or 10, all the hatred spewed at President Nixon. I'm not saying he did no wrong, but today we have politicians of much lesser caliber doing much worse. We seem to be in a headlong 'race to the bottom'. Listen to this man speak..he actually was intelligent, capable and informed. Belated respect to you, President Nixon.

Mine have, I came to respect him more as I grew to know him. There was so much anti establishment feeling in the '60s

l will make that trek too next time l am there.. #whataman

I remember him as being a great man and a great President , I'm confident history will judge him as such ! The Watergate farce will be evident and all he will be remembered as is very effective and popular President , at an extremely trying time in American History !!!!

Thank God , his Presidency brought this Country to it's knees .

No, the Vietnam war brought us to our knees ​@@jjthor407

: (

Yes, 100% true! Totally agree with you.

Ironically the same Claire Booth Luce publications were gunning against Nixon.

I believe he was a a Bible believing Christian

​@@suestephan3255 Nixon was raised Quaker but was likely an atheist

Not even Nixon's biggest fans would call him charasmatic 😅

He earned his way to college pumping gas at his parents Yorba Linda station. His staff resorted to break in to the Demoractic Office at the Watergate complex because patriarch Joe Kennedy cheated in the 1960 election with Jimmy Hoffa's help. The ungrateful JFK sicced AG bro RFK to gut the Teamsters. The rest is history.

Reagan too. Altho Reagan didnt have Nixon's huge intellect, he believed in the right things, and he knew how to lead.

Same for me and I could not understand the importance of Watergate at all. America shot itself in the foot when it drove this man out.

​@@RRaucinayah.. barry hussein soetoro pulled enough illegal surveillence to make watergate look like a cakewalk.. nobama also stripped our Bill of Rights!

@@RRaucina The problem was that in that situation, you would have assumed that he was at fault. Because there was no evidence to prove that it wasn't him, and his people had done it. And then he'd tried to cover it up. Of course, the Nixon Tapes do imply that he didn't know that someone was about to do something idiotic. And once it had happened, the pragmatic (and possibly right) choice really was to try to cover it up rather than let it damage the Presidency at an important time. But it was still crossing the line. And the people in the FBI felt that he was likely doing it for the wrong reasons. So they did what they themselves felt was right. ... "Better a wise enemy than a foolish friend", as it were (I mean the people who did the break in)

Evil he was most certainly not, the more you know about him the more respect and maybe even admiration will fill your view of him, we could use more wise and aware people like him, had had a good soul, even after decades of living a political life, few can keep their soul so intact in such an atmosphere, he was a Statesman, and caring man, and will be missed for decades to come, much better than some of his contemporaries, to be sure

Pictured by the trash media who tried to make watergate his legacy

Couldn’t stand the guy when he was president. I would hear his voice and become nauseous. I wonder how many people commenting here were alive during his presidency? His Vietnam policy was a disaster. Now some people think of him as a sympathetic character. I don’t ! I felt a great relief once he left office.

Some people didn't like President Nixon, and he was an outstanding man in the history of the United States of America. Same thinking of the same democrats against President Trump, they are narrow-minded.

I was 10 years old and I loved President Nixon. I was sad when he resigned. I felt that he was unjustly accused. Not sure, why, but that was how I felt.

They're treating President Trump the same way. It's not the same topic but something created to push him out. They accused him for something many politicians do. It's not new. The Democrats are so mean.

​@carolmurray5799 same.. because you're spot on.. l was abt your age as well.. nixon was targeted and did a great deal for us with trade deals, and getting us out of vietnam that johnson made a mess of..

Nixon was before his time! Libs have done unbelievable damage to the presidency!

Not according to the MSM, and don't forget that. They took down a president and are full of hutzpa ever since.

They always get rid of the good ones or at least try!!

One of the interweaving with Nixon, they asked hime ,you were the only one from America went for shah of Iran Funeral,Why? He said : he was my friend!

Same. My heart was broken for him. I was only in high school, but I could feel his genuine love of country.

The problem isn't that there are no wise people, but rather that the cultures of the major parties couldn't be bothered to listen to them.

100%

Wow, love the quote. Quite profound in that it also is the story of my life and likely so with so many others. Thanks and I will listen to more from him...

He resigned.

He gave up & the only thing he after that was interviews & a book which he was paid millions for.

Well, they were. They are mostly from the david frost interview i think.. Which we saw but i didn't remember much about.

Nixon had some character flaws (a large dose of paranoia being one), which ultimately led to the cover-up, and his demise. If he had told the truth from Day 1, the break-in may well have blown over as a mindless "dirty trick". The many expletives in the tapes offered an unvarnished view of his character as well (and let's not forget his red baiting of Helen Douglas).

@@superbear617you think she had communist sympathies?

His children will appreciate your kind words.

@@hudsonstraight8628 Without a doubt…🫡🇺🇸❤️

Quoting from " Invictis " . Now THERE is bombast !

When one's intentions are as pure as one can have them, then, usually , regret and sadness, even anger for a while, may come after a terrible injustice, but retribution isn't usually the desire..
