Memories of a lifetime

Thanks for sharing your story.

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!!

Nixon was a diction machine.

@@sartainja Tricky Dicktion!

What a sad memory. Thanks for sharing.

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.

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.

@@itinerantpatriot1196 nixon tapes were fun i learned alot about nixon

@@MikeHunt-fo3ow same with me, it was a window to access the mind of a very misunderstood and insecure man.

Actually modern debates are tamer than how politicians used to debate each other

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.

That's a sure bet! Thank you for commenting and visiting my channel!

Shut up

Yeah. I thought he was going to run in, and turn on the tv to the news. Never expected him to just call the director of the FBI.

Can you or someone please provide me a link as to Bush not recalling this? Thanks!

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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLWbh9eh39XZnJc.html

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!

Nixon probably thought it might be a General Walker type.

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.

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.

Yep…

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.

My thoughts exactly

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

A two minute segment from an entire interview, perspective much?

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!

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.

Nixon did not get the US out of the Vietnam war 'as winners'. The US was defeated by Vietnam.

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.

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!

Nixon was in Dallas with Joan Crawford, for godssake -- what's more macabre than that??

@@cedarabbey She was the president of Pepsi-Cola, correct?

@@kevincorcoran6493 ... Yes, that and of Hell.

Nixon's dark side was obvious. Smiles after cutting remarks and sly expressions

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.

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.

Ask Oliver Stone

So was GHWB.

I have long thought the same.

Nixon wouldnt have rocked the FED boat like JFK did. He wouldve avoided LBJs Dallas💥

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...

Nixon was very shrewd as a politician and a man. I doubt he would've been in the same position as JFK had he won in 60

@@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.

Had Oswald even been arrested at that time?

@@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.

@@adamredfield still a really tight timeframe... amazing history that day so many moving parts!

@@mapmanlxii1715 Yes. I agree with that.

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.

indeed

@@stevebrown5675 You boys are assuming too much

Yes, I was thinking that as well. It wouldn't be for a few hours before Oswald was arrested.

I read it was 70 minutes after the shooting that Oswald was arrested by the Dallas PD. I agree it is very strange.

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.

@@dlit I agree. Oliver Stone seems to think so as well.

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.
