What Really Happened When Elvis Met Richard Nixon 

Horrible casting

It's actually a really wholesome, cute movie. Shannon didn't have to look like Elvis, he embodied his more child-like self but never made fun of him or demeaned him. He was brilliant in it to be honest.

Liberal casting director

@@Blessedone333AZ Elvis and Nixon if anything is a softly conservative film focusing on friendship, respect, breaking down barriers and attaining your dreams through hard-work, not hand outs. It also takes multiple swipes at (and I don't want to get political, I'm just saying it like the movie presents it) far-left ideology and focuses on the fact that both Elvis and Nixon, for all of their faults were self-made men who worked hard to get where they were. When Spacey gives the 'Look where I came from and look where you came from. Left wingers look at our success and want to tear it down because we took the hard road' speech, I was sitting there open mouthed pondering, "am I agreeing with Richard Nixon?" lol. It also presents Nixon as a devoted, loving father and beneath his gruff exterior a softy at heart, however south his career went later. It was nice to see him for once not outright demonized. If anything, I'm shocked Shannon wanted to do the movie.

The woooooorst casting choice. Wow.

Nah. Even a dude like justin Bieber could pull up at the white house lookin like trailer trash who works at a gas station . I bet he'd campaign for Joe Biden if he wasn't Canadian lmao

and you forgot high out of his mind, his drug of choice was codeine although he took a lot of other stuff like uppers and downers, the FBI warned Nixon about him after the visit and advised him to break off communication with Elvis.

I love this comment, fits so perfectly lol

Plot twist: he worked for the CIA

@@alfblue4734 nah hes definitely with Trump all his rapper friend are trump supporter and they would get passes out of jail.

Make that Presley and Nixon: Werewolf Hunters. Could also try shoehorning Elvis into a James Bond role with Nixon/Q sending him on missions against werewolfs.

"Look, Elvis. These damn hippies are shooting up werewolf blood. We need to hunt em down or they're gonna attack San Francisco. Henry's getting us the silver bullets, so pick a pistol." And then Nixon and Elvis go rhinestone trenchcoat Boondock Saints mode shooting werewolf hippies in San Francisco.

@@LedosKell wheres the Colonel in all this ??. He takes 70% of Elvis money and works Elvis like a slave to pay HIS old ass's gambling debts. The Colonel got to be the Vampire that drains there bank accou..... I mean blood ( aren't they same thing almost 🤔) and sucks the life out of Tricky Dick and The King

Also: Elvis shoots Nixon! Now that's an alternative universe ^^

New message....I dont know how to say this...but I think we should assemble a team... *of mighty avengers....*

And a great SNL skit 😂

Wasn't they gonna make an animated series in Netflix called agent king.

Great I'm on it

I'd buy that movie

Got a narc badge and was taking illegal drugs . Ironic

Insanely Famous Till now

@@octavius8562 Do your research before posting. Elvis started touring in January 1970, with first stop at the Houston Astrodome. Over several days, 200,000 people saw him. He then went on to be the hottest ticket in the country in the 70's. He outdid everyone. I researched this years ago. The info was impeccably kept, down to how many were at each venue. He sold out every one, and if Parker had too small of a venue, he had to go back and do another concert. Almost 1700 in the 70's. Also Vegas twice a night. This video is filled with lies. I met Bud Krogh in Memphis and know the whole story. It, (the video...several really)with Jerry Schilling, whom I also met, tells all that went on that day and why. Nothing like this uploader says. 99% lies.You and this uploader obviously know very little about the life of Elvis. I wish people like you, who don't, would not post unless you have really done your homework. I, too was around in those 70's. I know what went on.

@@octavius8562To you again.... Remember one thing. Elvis NEVER lost any of his popularity at any time in his life, and in his death. During the 60's he made movies of which none lost money. He was the first to make a million per movie. Shelley Fabares, who made 3 movies with him, recalls sitting in the huge 750 seat eating place of the stars. who worked at MGM Studios. She had been talking about his presence and how strong it was on a PBS show. She said people in that huge room had seen every celeb there was and couldn't care less. She sensed something behind her. The room went quiet. She turned and saw Elvis at the door looking in, and at the same time everyone in the room getting up rushing to the door. He had disappeared. She said here he was with the Beatles ruling the charts, at his lowest, and all these people were going to rush him. She said with that kind of thing, he would never live a long life. She said she would love him forever. He went on to do the 68 Special which was the most watched show all year on TV. Did the '73 Aloha in Hawaii, seen via satellite by over a billion people. Was the hottest ticket in America in the 70's with nearly 1700 sold out concerts. Starting in 1997 until covid, Elvis in Concert, with him on the big screen and his live band and singers have traveled the world to sold out concerts. It starts up again this year. The man has never stopped. All the while, but for some covid years, 600,000 visit Graceland every year.

@Johnny NotEnglish talking from experience?

@@octavius8562 lol.... in one of the Elvis/nixon movies when Nixon says that meeting Elvis would make him popular with the young people, the aid chokes out "but sir, he plays--- [soto] Vegas". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Eh. Elvis always had his fans...

Nixon and Elvis were a lot more normal than Trump and Kanye.

Elvis went to the White House to get a badge. He collected them. It made NO difference WHO was in office when he decided he wanted THAT badge. It is on display across from Graceland in the 200,000 sq ft Elvis Presley's Memphis complex with a million other artifacts. There's pictures of Elvis with Carter also. He was non political.

Where does Trump meets Kim Kardashian fit on that flowchart ? 🤣🤣😘

Lmao

Elvis was against street drugs even weed. Yes elvis did pills but his mentality was “if a doctor prescribes it then it’s not bad” which is not the case

@@Chicken_Wing91 Yeah exactly that’s why he’s making fun of him!

@@willissudweeks1050 for something a lot of people didn't know about in the 70's that are widely known today? seems legit

The whole thing was a scam so Elvis could carry drugs and guns anywhere he went.

Honestly! History repeats itself…

Yeah we know that

This sounds good. Thanks for the tip

Seen and agree. We’ll worth watching. When I watched it I did think it was all a bit far fetched. Alas.

Love that movie i have one on VHS its the first one. Then another one came out later .i like the first one

Thanks I’ll have to watch it

@@robertstdon9280 where do you look for it?

For real man he’s an ass. I mean if he actually knew about something bad he should tell but he doesn’t need to go looking for weed....

It was a scam so he could carry drugs and weapons anywhere he went, and not being a traitor.

No it's not nuts if you don't know anything about Elvis. If you did, it makes perfect sense. Elvis wanted ONE thing out of this trip, that was pretty spontaneous....A BADGE! He collected BADGES!. They are promanitely displayed at the 200,000 sq ft complex across from Graceland, called Elvis Presley's Memphis, housing one million of his artifacts. There's another secret archive building that houses another one million artifacts which are rotated out. He did not want it to "travel the world". He wanted the biggest BADGE of them all....FOR HIS COLLECTION. Yes, he carried it around frequently. It really is that simple. He said what he thought he needed to say to get what he wanted. Made NO difference WHO was in the White House that day. He was friends with Carter. He was not political...ever. all for a badge. And that stupid movie that people actually believe astounds me.

@@FuckPedophileBiden Who told you that? You are in the wrong video, or just live your life believing untrue rumors and not factual evidence with the people who were there.

@@keetonplace Priscilla Presley was married to Elvis, and knows more about him than you ever will. From the book she wrote Elvis and Me. "The narc badge represented some kind of ultimate power to him," "With the federal narcotics badge, he believed he could legally enter any country both wearing guns and carrying any drugs he wished." 1

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😘

Haha that's great!!! Their photo is the most requested at the Nat. Archives

Naah

I love Kanye, but let's no go nuts comparing him in anyway to Elvis.

@@petawest6505 🤦‍♂️👌😃

"Elvis Meets Nixon" 1997 and "Elvis & Nixon" 2016 Both worth watching for different reasons. While you're in there -- "Elvis Found Alive" 2012, by Joel Gilbert is fun

It is true , a private investigator had a badge and when Elvis saw it , Elvis wanted a badge just like it.

NOT history! Watch the REAL videos...several of them, with the actual people who were in the room during the whole thing. this is junk.

Nah, rock was inspired by both European and African music, Elvis just happened to be the first to fully realize rock. Stop having white guilt, it's not a good thing.

Yeah but they were hippies man.

@@heatherrogers548 Lol, any dude with hair grown past their collar was a hippie, right?

For playfully pinching some legal age dudes on the ass whilst working in theatre. Big deal. Anyone would think he was Jeffery Dahmer the way they blew it up.

Nixon is risen again. A lot more respected these days.

LeMans 1955?

He wasn't

Elvis wanted a narcotics badge…and he got one. Elvis would later embellish the significance of the badge, but he received one none the less. He is The King!

@@martyduncan2636 You are probably spot on

I have to update my resumé

LOL I was just about to go there myself.

*Snort 😂

Amen to that !

🤣🤣

Frrr😂😂😂

It’s a miracle he lasted as long as he did with all those uppers and downers he popped plus his high fat southern diet on top of his crazy hectic work schedule. Sad ending for a talented man

Its amazing how he survived. Between the insane stress, work schedule, and heat (this was before widespread AC and when stage lights were basically just massive heat lamps) it's amazing he even survived with or without the drugs. That Kony 2012 guy had a mental breakdown with a shorter but similar schedule and he was sober

I remember this day and it was not strange... it was betrayal. The King was southern blue collar rock along the lines of Cash and Allman Brothers. Hs screwed up manager sold Elvis to Hollywood, the Military, Vegas. It was a split between clean cut right wing music that the Beach Boys represented and counter culture rock and roll music the Doors, Hendrix, the Beatles and Stones represented. Elvis was viewed by youth of my age at the time as a "sell out". Pot was not legal and not illegal at the time but Nixon made it illegal to go after the Anti-War Protesters who were smoking it up as the only thing he had to arrest them. Elvis was his man to build up the generation who decades later were to be Trump's loyal slowly aging baby boomer minions. The King is the Father of Country Music propaganda, he would have been a QAnon supporter if QAnon were around back then.

It sounds like something that would happen in an alternative universe.

After trump and Biden, I’d take it.

Nice to meet you, King President sir. Uh huh huh!

@@BichaelStevens at least he has a shot with Ellen

@@jamesagwe2981 who?

homeboy a pr*dat0r

it's a fact that he was, and those who deny it, well with due respect, idiots will always be idiots

Yeah but later on they would have some smart ass put down on him .an make fun of him .so F them .

In the Beatles Anthology one of them recounted actually meeting Elvis and going to a house he was staying in, in Los Angeles (not Graceland) where Elvis basically just hung out watching TV with them, then showed off that he could play bass. 🤷‍♂️

They were a bit broken hearted about it years later when this story finally became public. And their bitchiness about him? They really wanted to BE Elvis and they were very competitive guys.

LED ZEPPELIN and ELVIS were the number one performing artists in the world then, I think Zeppelin were outselling him so Elvis wanted to meet them and did. They were both in the same city at the same time and Elvis invited them to his show, Zeppelin arrived late but then attended an after show party and met him and hit off. Robert Plant tells the story about this meeting about how cool Elvis was and how he used to sing an Elvis song as their sound check before a gig. When Elvis left several hours later he turned just before he (left the building ) and called out to Robert and started singing that song to him and the band ss he left. Robert Plant was blown away by this.
