A lot of people don’t understand that Nixon and JFK really were friends. They were congressmen together, both served in the senate together. Nixon forgot to mention another similarity: both served in the US Navy as Officers.

Back in the day when a politician was able to construct a coherent sentence without a teleprompter.

Pat looks truly heartbroken. She was a very genuine lady, and in every account that I’ve read, she was a kind and very pleasant woman. She never deserved the criticism and derision that she sometimes got.

I believe the way Richard Nixon handled John Kennedy's assassination, is one of the best moments of his career. He handled it with class and intelligence.

Nixon showed class.

This is a lesson that both parties should learn. No matter what your differences are put it aside and work together and move America forward.

Based on that kind of words given from him, I can never understand for the life of me why the mainstream media hated him so much. Very conciliatory attitude concerning language and also certainly puts Nixon in a very sympathetic light

The man never drank a Duff in his life,

This was the same day that Ruby killed Oswald and the day before JFK’s funeral

One of the last American statesman

When President Kennedy was alive we all have such great hope for the nation

Nixon was actually in Dallas on November 22, 1963, attending a Coca-Cola bottlers convention.

When I first saw this, I thought nixon was just saying it for the cameras. As I did more research, I found out that they actually were friends and when Nixon was chosen to be vp, Kennedy told him something along the lines of, "I knew you would get far, I just didn't expect it to be so soon" The Nixonseven went to the Kennedys wedding, and after Kennedy died, Nixon actually wrote a letter to jackie giving his condolences from him and his wife. Jackie thanked him and encouraged him that if he didn't give up, she in fact believed he would be president one day.

Sadly the hatred and violence that Nixon mentioned still exists to this day 😪

President Nixon was a great orator. Here again he chooses the perfect words for a tragic time. Years later, President Nixon would begin bringing significant numbers of troops home from Vietnam, take the first steps at ending the Cold War and establish relations with China 🇨🇳.

This actually isn't just some political fluff Dick and Jack were actually pretty good friends, dating back to '47

In my classes (college) I show the first Kennedy-Nixon debate. I show half the class the TV broadcast, and other half just the audio (as if it was on radio). In each group the opinion was split pretty evenly as to who won the debate, regardless of how they heard it. But many students said the same thing: "I'd have no problem voting for either of these guys." Nixon, a very complicated man...

"Two rights don't make a ... " the ultimate Freudian slip.

President Nixon was a great man, he had faults as do we all but the nation is better off for the services of both he and President Kennedy.

I was 12years old when Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas. I feel so sad. He is adored by so many in India at that time. I had recently visited the Texas school book depositary museum, paid tributes to the great man.

when i lived in dallas in 1985 i met a friend of Ruby's. He said the warren commission had questioned him and his brother because, "they talked to everyone jack had ever met." he went on to adamantly, ADAMANTLY tell me Ruby was far too unstable to be part of any conspiracy and the idea was "a joke." ruby was a super patriotic guy who had just walked up when they brought Oswald out and he thought Oswald looked smirky, proud of what he'd done. A hit man would have emptied his gun in Oswald to ensure his silence but ruby shot him once, then jumped on top of him trying to kick his ass. that's not the behavior of a hit man, it's the behavior of a enraged citizen, which is what he was.

I love how they already determined that Oswald was guilty and people wonder why there's conspiracy theories.

Very well spoken

"Two rights don't make a wrong"

Both Nixon and Johnson wanted to be President real bad but Nixon wasn’t willing to kill for it

I think he was genuine in his comments but the politician in him was thinking "Im back in the game now"

I don't get why some think Nixon was behind Kennedy's death. Yeah, they were rivals, but it wasn't heated like Johnson and the Kennedys. They respected each other, which the wafer-thin election of 1960 showcased. Had JFK lived, RFK wouldn't have run for president. He was motivated by his brother's career being unfinished, much like how Jack got into politics because the oldest brother died in war. Nixon, if he was chosen, would probably have gone up against Eugene McCarthy or Hubert Humphrey. While a flawed man for so long, it was eight years of embitterment which magnified his flaws, leading to him destroying himself over a third rate burglary

That guy is reasonable. He should be President.

Interesting that he said Oswald deserved a trial, but declared him guilty in the same breath.

Even in his mind, Oswald was the killer; no trial just guilty. 🤯🤯

Nixon was at the Clint Murchison residence the night before the assassination with LBJ and a whole host of other political enemies of JFK, and HW Bush the next day was the CIA's coordinator on the ground in Dealy Plaza for the assassination. He was actually there with his son, W. Bush, and when the local police brought HW to the police station he left his now confused son W back at Dealy Plaza on his own, with no game plan. There are pictures folks on the internet of both being there. Do your research, and stay away from the MSM! By the way, Gerry Ford facilitated the coverup in Congress. Guess what? 5 of the next 8 Presidents knew all about it, or were actually there or both!

Something about Pat Nixon is very striking here

Two rights make 180-degrees!

Great Video! Love it!

Nixon was taking off as Kennedy was landing at Dallas, Nixon was quick to say the man who was guilty deserved a trial! well well well!

So nice to hear that a man guilty of murder deserves a fair trial..

Looks like he forgot that in this country we also presume someone is innocent until proven guilty.

"Two rights dont make a..." is the greatest Freudian slip in recorded history.

Two rights don't make a wrong, they make an upside down "u" in some cases... and thanks for the footage! I was curious to hear his statements. :-)

This is amazing. I have wondered for years what Nixon must've thought when Kennedy was murdered. Of course he looks aggravated and made a gaff. Wouldn't you stumble over your words, in that situation? The 1960s were sure a crazy time. Glad I missed it.

"two wrongs don't make a right..."

I'm not going to say I was in on it, but I was in on it. - Conscience of Nixon

Maybe he was thinking this could have been me if I had been elected. Perhaps it is better that I had lost the 60 election ?

People can say what they want but This Man President Richard M. Nixon was Great president. God Rest Bless His Soul Richard M. Nixon 🙏🌹

Until Oswald was convicted in a Court of Law he would have been Presumed Innocent not guilty.

Man Rich Little did a great impression of Nixon!

Oswald was not the assassin. He was the alleged assassin

This reminds me of the reaction of politicians who were shocked about the murder on Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn in 2002 in The Netherlands. First they hated the guy but after the event they are so much full of praise.

Two rights don't make a wrong.... Freudian slip?

Nixon must have been briefed by J. Edgar Hoover to refer to Oswald as "the man who was guilty ". The Warren Commission had not been assembled yet.

Gee, Nixon forgot to mention that he knew Jack Ruby.

Well said. Now so many years later, people have forgotten that they were friends.

RFK, had just won the California primary, so he had a great deal of momentum going forward. Therefore, I respectfully disagree with you. He would have United the Democratic party and would have ended our tragic involvement in the Vietnam war!!!

He never talked about the assassination. He only talked about Oswald.

When Oswald was shot on TV, Nixon immediately recognized the shooter. “That’s Jack Ruby,” he said. Ruby was a nut, but he was also a CIA contractor who was known by insiders. Maybe JFK knew him too.

Nixon did a great impression of Rich little.

He looks as happy as a lark...

"The assassination of the assassin ". "Two Rights Don't Make A Wrong I Mean..".

He knew

Kennedy and Nixon were the Perfect Example of Politicians. They were Political Adversaries, but, Close And Personal Friends, Politics Aside. It showed in The Debates of 1960. I'm Sad that, Nowadays, Politicians do not Follow Suit.

If Roger Stone is accurate then The comments made after 1;20 are typical of a politician. Stone claimed when Nixon saw Ruby on tv that Nixon knew LBJ had a part since Ruby had been referred to Nixon as a witness in Senate hearings in the 50's by LBJ.

He was at Clint Murcheson's mansion the night before............so was LBJ....... HL Hunt..........

"Two rights don't make a wrong" You got that right, Tricky Dick!

Nixon very eloquently stated the only public statements that could be expressed, but he knew exactly what happened, since he was present the night before in the infamous preassassination meeting at Clint Murchison's mansion in Dallas.

This Whole Bay of Pigs Thing! And this Hunt...Nixon + Dulles...in Dalles...

Keep in mind when he spoke in Indianapolis the knight of Martin Luther Kings assassination, there was not any rioting. Many American cities were in flames after that tragedy!!!

Yes President Nixon - two wrongs dont make a right.

Nice job, Mr. Nixon.

Nixon never mentioned Oswald's killer, Jack Rubinstein of Chicago, who according to FBI documents, in 1947 worked for California U.S. Representative Nixon in the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Rubinstein, before shortening his name to Ruby, also worked for the Chicago mob.

Nixon's declaration given 2 days after the JFK assassination that Lee H. Oswald was "guilty and deserved to die" seems to be a rather premature statement, especially coming from a lawyer who should know the legal requirement to prove guilt under the justice system. However, this would be consistent with an information campaign to ensure the public was convinced that LHO was the lone assassin. Also could the "two rights" have been a Freudian slip?

Nixon the paranoid was an analyst on even his own thoughts, so he always spoke haltingly, wanting to select just the right word, and if he tried to go quick or off the cuff for even one phrase, out came a gaffe, like "Two rights don't make a wrong, err..." And he was habitually analysing everyone and everything else in the room while he was talking, so he couldn't help but appear to be shifty-eyed, because suppressing peripheral information to stare straight at the camera was at odds with his basic thought pattern. I've met a few like that, including in my mirror. I don't speak that way, but I write that way, it usually takes me 15 minutes just to pop out a random KZfaq comment. Thus I get why Dicky always sounded tricky, even when he had done the right thing. Then whenever he was guilty, he could never convince the nation to accept his lame excuse by opening his mouth. That talent of smooth speech focussed directly at the camera, no matter the facts, was mastered by somebody named Clinton. Surprisingly both men were re-elected. Not surprisingly I had to edit this once, err, twice.

1:40 : “Two rights don’t make a ….” was that a Freudian slip ?

How did Nixon assume Oswald was guilty in the 1st place when he wasn't??

You know things are bad when old recordings of Richard Nixon make him seem like a statesman.

There’s a photo of Nixon with Jack Ruby before the assassination.

And I am not a crook.

Nixon looks very happy. Pat too.

The ironic thing is that he just quoted the first rule of assassination and that is when you have an individual, especially a famous political figure, assassinated you have to assassinate the assassin or assassins, and no matter who actually pulled the trigger, you can bet that not long afterwards someone pulled the trigger on them and triggers kept being pulled until every thread of evidence that led back to the people on the top of the conspiracy pyramid was gone so they could never be implicated in the worst, unsolved murders and the secret usurping of the U.S. government was accomplished by military industrialists along with the mafia flunkies that they used and tossed aside, like a dirty diaper, and I don’t think that Kennedy was a good guy or even a decent man, he cheated on his wife, and he used Marilyn Monroe and tossed her aside, nor do I agree with all of his political beliefs, but the fact that he was a voice for change and that he strove to give equality and justice for every American and that he went against the established views and rhetoric of the day is something that I do agree with and I believe that his murder was a crime not just against President Kennedy, and his family but a crime against every American alive at the time and every generation of Americans to follow, we were robbed of the true gifts of what that man fought very hard to give America, and the scumbags that took his life, stole a brighter future for every successive generation and they made America less than what it was before and the rest is silence, Sincerely, Silence Dogood proud American Patriot, God Bless America

He knew before the fact, and by complacence in the absence of honor, he too is guilty after the fact.

Notice no crocodile tears or hand wringing. Just real men getting on with it

Nixon at least knew how to be respectful. 🇺🇸💐

"Two Rights Don't Make a Wrong...I mean..." Ha ha wow talk about a Freudian Slip

*Nixon : Prescott Bush's Bitch.* Rent Ken Burns' documentary " Vietnam", Episode 1, you will see Nixon, _in front of a Map of the region_ talking about the "Rubber and Tin" in Vietnam. Nixon was Eisenhower's V.P. at the time.

But Oswald did not kill JFK!

I must admit slight discomfort and it shows in this old footage. Put it to you all this way...there was obviously some funky shit going down here. Joan Crawford was to do a presentation for the Pepsi Bottlers and we were added to it roughly a week before this, which was not anticipated.

"Two rights don't make a wrong" Never a truer word said 😂

1960 was Nixon vs Kennedy. If you can, watch their debates then compare it to the debate between Biden and Trump. Nothing illustrates better how far this country has regressed.

WOW!! Nixon's wife looks EXACTLY like the actress that played her in the 1994 film NIXON....it's uncanny how much she looks like her..

1:40 Nixon: "two rights don't make it wrong" - Freud would have a ball!

No reason that I know of to believe that Nixon was among the conspirators

Anyone else notice that the voice tones and speech structure are different then they are now? Let’s see who truly understands the new world.

Nixon assumes Oswald's guilt without a trial. He doesn't even say "alleged." The poor patsy never had a chance.

He was quick to jump on the Oswald bandwagon. He probably realised then that he would become President.

A good and articulate Man. I'm ashamed of how I thought of him most of my life.

Pay tribute to a gallant warrior. Well said President Nixon.

Nixion was in on Kennedy’s assassination . He is talking like he is on the stand , sweating, and he just so happened to be in Dallas Texas on nov 22 63

Seems snakey. Someone should should keep an eye on him.

"Read my lips. I did not have sex with Marilyn like those guys."

Compare Nixon's response to any of today's politicians and you will surely agree that a change has been occurring.

The law was taken into the hands of someone who worked for Richard Nixon. Interesting?
