One thing to note about Eisenhower and Nixon is while he did give him many roles, especially foreign policy, Nixon was always kept in the dark to a certain extent. During Eisenhower's heart attack and other illnesses there was a soft power struggle between Nixon and Sherman Adams, his Chief of Staff, and other more wealthy Eastern Establishment Republicans, who mostly didn't like Nixon. And Eisenhower tried to push him off the ticket in 1956 subtly. I think they got along a lot better when David and Julie became a couple.

In the early days of his presidency, Bill actually consulted Nixon fairly often as he worked to establish his administration, so Dick became something of a mentor to him.

Given that Nixon appointed him to be the ambassador to the UN, I'm sure he knew a thing or two about Bush 1 that might've been intriguing to know.

I had the wonderful experience of Visiting the Nixon Library in 2008 and would love to visit again since their update and renovation a few years back. It was surreal to visit his boyhood home and visit the exhibits focused on Vietnam and of course his incredible foreign policy triumphs, which I believe that no president since his presidency have had. I will say I appreciate the unique perspective you gave between Nixon and Trump was spot on, I was aware of his writings and his nod from Pat Nixon through Richard Nixon to Run back in the 80's was ironic. The only comparison I can find with Nixon and Trump's Foreign Policy was North Korea, that was really something seeing President Trump Cross into North Korea. Both are flawed men, but there was no man in office who was not flawed. Always remember Nixon Now, more than Ever.

I think with Nixon it is worth being cautious about believing a thing he ever said publically. A great example is his comments on Johnson - he talks about how johnson needed to he johnson, yet one of the biggest reasons Vietnam was prolongued (and why Johnson lost in 68) was that Nixon used his own back channels with Kissinger to tank peace talks. Johnson was planning to negotiate what Nixon ended up negotiating 5 years later despite nixon secretly promising a better deal which collapsed the peace talks in 67. Nixon was a deeply insecure man who would lie to maintain his image and using his words to paint his reputation is exactly what he wanted.

I was still in college when the watergate story hit the news media. a political science grad student was writing a research paper . She shared some antidotal research she discovered that Nixon was very paranoid that Ted Kennedy was going to step in at the last minute and claim the 1968 Democratic nomination. She also found later some circumstantial evidence that even after it was obvious that HHH was going to win the nomination after Ted Kennedy took himself out of the presidential nomination.. Nixon’s paranoia did not subside. He was aware that HHH was actively seeking having Ted Kennedy be his vice President …with the promise that he would resign after serving one term and allow Ted Kennedy to ascend to the presidency and he, Nixon would once again have the face the well oiled Kennedy family elective mechanism. Assuming the above was accurate, it’s interesting to consider that HHH maybe would have provided the campaign with the boost he need to defeat Nixon in the 1968 election. Does anybody on this channel have any confirmation evidence to validate the above? BTW.. I recently stumbled on this excellent channel and just subscribed. Thank you 🙏🏽🇺🇸

Nixon is one of the big boys of world history. And thus this Mr Dutre' and his need to understand the man is understood. Those who don't consider Nixon to be odd, like myself, probably would be called odd too. But the China and Russia trips probably postponed another world war for 50-years. And many of Nixon's calls have been impressively good ones. I think the world admires Mr Nixon's work more than does America. And many Americans who lean left only consider short-term solutions to long-term problems. So it is probably true that all the presidents mentioned in this video, save Nixon himself, proposed shorter-term solutions to problems of the world. RMN had the gift to see past his own century. And that is a rather rare ability.

This actually made me respect and like Nixon. Mind you, he did laugh at Reagan’s racist joke about Africans.

Its crazy to think that Nixon knew of the 2 most recent presidents but not Obama and GW Bush.

Impressive amount of work in your video - well structured and nicely narrated. Is this a hobby or are you a history major of some kind?

Also if RFK had not been assassinated the world might be a different place as his brother's assassination probably turned him into a better man than his brother

It was Johnson who installed the voice recording system, not Nixon. Johnson must have been rolling in his grave at the trouble that it caused Nixon.

What did he think of Obama? I know what he thought of Trump "Thank you for making me look good in comparison"

I hated Nixon back then, I was scared to death of him. How I miss him dearly today.

The difference between President Kennedy and Nixon? Nixon did what he was told.

I too would like to see a video of Nixon's thoughts on Clinton given their relationship. Great video -- great theme, clips, editing, and warm presentation. Keep it up!

Good job. FYI "America's Untold Stories" started a series on Teddy Kennedy's involvement in Watergate. Teddy and Nixon were at war with each other behind the scenes believing that there would be a face-off in 1968 or 1972.

Nixon is easily one of my top 10 favorite presidents to read about, mostly due to how complex he is.

I know that Richard Nixon was corrupt and broke the law, and history should (and has) held him to account for Watergate and the coverup. However, seeing Nixon speak in many ways kindly and always thoughtfully about many of his opponents like Jack Kennedy really humanizes Nixon. It is so sad that the partisan divide in the US has become so strong that opponents cannot make kind comments about others in this day and age as they used to be able to when my mother was growing up.
