- A new book about former President Richard Nixon's recordings reveals new details on how the disgraced president felt towards women, gay people and Jews. Bill Plante reports from the White House.
Nixon was actually pretty progressive for the time saying “gays are born that way” and “a lot of geniuses were gay”
Brainwashed by virgin mary
In case you didn't know, when you use quotation marks, you're supposed to state verbatim, exactly what the quote is, not the way you improve it. He said, "They have a problem. They're born that way." Some progressive!
Reagan was more progressive policy wise than Nixon he literally threatened Israel with sanctions if they didn’t stop bombing Beirut, he appeared in drag in an army propaganda film made during the Second World War titled “this is the army” to help approve morale, he’s also to thank for our reaproachment with the Soviet Union which ended up being a major factor in the fall of the eastern bloc
@@Notlilithsbitch There was drag in the film but Reagan himself was not in drag in "This Is The Army." And since when does policy with Israel qualify as progressive, if you know what that term means? How old are you, anyway?
@@akrenwinkle being against the indiscriminate bombing of civilians is pretty progressive especially given the context of it being the Cold War and Lebanon not even being an ally of ours, despite our political and governmental differences he understood the importance of Beirut to the Arab states
Say what you want about Nixon, what he said in private conservation was the consensus of most Americans during those times. You'd be far pressed to find many people that accepted homosexual in the 1960's. Especially Nixon's generation. I don't think it is fair to cast judgement over a 50 year old tape of a private conservation.
@Gwendolyn Porter True... but i dont see anything wrong with everything nixon said.
A President is not a normal person and should be held to different standards than you and me given the power that they have. Things they do in office can last for generations. It's absolutely fair to judge them and their private conversations. It helps determine how they will be remembered and how worthy of they are of credit or praise.
@@1w72st I'd like to hear FDRs tapes.
Sure, especially when there's so much more to cast judgement on based on his policies and how he conducted himself in office.
Except that is the exact time to cast judgement in private when they share their real thoughts.
I hate google ads, there are annoying af
The part about Kissinger is just Nixon assuming he had basic empathy and being proven wrong.
Nach...!
Don't sully ‘empathy’. ‘Empathy’ is used for those who aren't likely to fall under your kin-selection.
The auto-neurotic trait of ‘sympathy’, more like..
I am more suprised by Kissinger's attitude toward his fellow Jews in USSR than I am by Nixon's views, which by the way are pretty progressive for his era.
Nixon has a history with anti-semitism, but those recording don't really show it. He seems a little uneducated and antiquated in his views, but he's essentially saying oh I sympathize with what the Jewish people have gone through and therefore I don't think he will be fair in middle eastern relationship. He didn't give the man a fair shake and his views seem to be based in some predetermined measures yes, but anti semetic is a stretch
His fellow jews in the ussr😂😂
When he went to Israel on high level government business, he refused to step foot in their Holocaust Museum. They kept prodding him and telling him he should go inside and he held his ground and said NO. He is repulsed by Jewish people and basically hates them. Other Jewish people on his level and one step higher feel a similar way. I'm not naming names though.
Nixon was so progressive that he allowed the rape & genocide of lakhs of Bangladeshi peoples by Pakistani army 🤬
@@ascendant95 He knew the real truth about it.
These tapes makes me like Nixon more.

I don’t see a problem with what he said about women. He’s just saying that what’s attractive in one sex, is unattractive in another.
Do women find effeminate men attractive?
Nixon was based and got it.
Yeah
Alot of women find Patrick Harris attractive so yes
Yea
Some do
Based Nixon
Based!
Is this... dare I say.. based?
Absolutely
Biased. Slightly
Oh those arent his words? Not his voice?
Yes BASED upon on his own words.
And perhaps, if I do say so myself, rather redpilled.
What? All he said about women was it's a turn off when they swear. I've even had women tell me themselves, it's not very lady like. How is that offending women?
briantravelman well who tf is he to tell women what to do and what not to do lol why is it okay for men but not for women? if i as a man say, well men shouldnt swear bc it’s bad but women can, do i speak for all men now? does everybody have to follow my rules now? as a president you should be somehow neutral between genders and not discriminate on something so stupid like swearing. it’s just a representation of his views on women in general
Lol and who's saying it's attractive when a guy drinks and swears. He's seeing things from one side and is speaking what he sees I guess
@@samuelthiex neither men or women should swear because it's not gentleman like and it's not lady like. You seem to contradict yourself, you say "who TF is he to tell someone what to do and what not to do?" Then you proceed to say that "he should be neutral between the genders and not discriminate" are you telling him what do to? If so, you're going against your argument. Double standard.
@@michaelg2502 same goes to you.
AII American Chutzpah so women with jobs are the cause of all those? Also there’s nothing wrong with not being in a nuclear family it doesn’t matter
Richard Nixon's best friend was a sharp dressing and charming Cuban-American businessman named Bebe Rebozo. Rebozo lived alone for much of his life in a well-decorated Key Biscayne home (Nixon eventually moved next door),
Suggesting what......Nixon did a little switch hitting??
@@ynp1978 Dutch door action ?
The great decision Richard Nixon ever made was to Open with China for a good reason.

Did you mean to say Biased ?

There was also some embarassing pants order one lol

The quality of CBS news staff has plummeted.
@Sir Walter Raleigh Your feelings aren't fact.
@Sir Walter Raleigh It's because they were infiltrated by Communists. Look this up. AND OBAMA made it legal to use the media for propaganda. I'm being lazy but look this up. It's true. Also search YURI BEZMENOV! He tried to warn us in the 80's!!
Read John Ehrlichman's view on the war on drugs.
Don't believe everything you think.
CBS is no longer a credible news organization.
Nixon gets overlooked, often. He was a very smart and thoughtful guy. One of the more intellectual presidents. Watch his 1978 Oxford speech, and even more so the Q&A. Impressive
Talking about Aristotle does not make you smart or thoughtful, and being smart definitely does not make you good, or right. To explain your disgust with homosexuality with a historical fabrication is merely rationalization. Apart from this, he has said awful things about jews and had 13 Jews demoted from the bureau of statistics for their jewishness. And then the election fraud on top of that.
No he wasn’t 💀. Have you seen his opinion on Africans and Indians?
You're joking right?
@@jaynemo674Nixon was a smart guy. Look at most things he did as president other than Watergate, and you'll find he was better than you thought he was
@@arjunator2688bro why would he defend non whites? Idiotic and self owning comment. In the world of tribalism I have my team and everyone else is irrelevant
Very interesting. I think the more we learn about previous leaders, it's like 'lifting a veil'
More like a dirty carpet and finding an old tattered half page paper of truth
A more precise description would be: walking through Brooklyn while "making it rain" while announcing what you're doing from a megaphone.
Usually too late
There's actually a lot interesting opinions there!!! Nixon was a very deep & intelligent individual!!!
But is he wrong about anything I don’t think so
On my god, I have to sit down and rest for a second. I never a president could be so based. The most honest president ever.
Nice hammer
Bill Plante ....wow...I watched him from 79 to 99 on CBS all the time ....good reporter !
What made him a good reporter? I'm curious. Please list some examples.
nixon was a very fascinating guy!
If fascinating means Sickening 🤮
@@holenawall954 No, he was based!
He was definitely fascinating absolutely and quite genuine
"Onces society moves in that direction the vitality leaves that society" huh kinda like whats happening now
How?
@@user-tk9fm2sw5g Richard Nixon was quite the historian. He knew of at least half a dozen examples in history where it happened and that was the result. That's why its being done deliberately today. Once the vitality is gone, the vultures can really usurp power.
Yes, America is ruined. No nation that has tolerated that has fared well.
I don't really see the big deal of his views on gays especially considering this is when disliking them was the norm back in these days
That and it was illegal to be a homosexual back then in many places. It is refreshing to hear him talk about society going away due to all the tolerance. The republic falls due to senility.
He didn’t even personally dislike gay people. If you listen to the tapes he was just against the glorification and celebration of that lifestyle on public television. He believed that they genuinely couldn’t help their sexual orientation and sympathized with them, but believed that they should keep those struggles private and not flaunt it publicly. He was also classically educated & historically literate, and genuinely believed that history repeatedly testifies that moral decay often precipitates the collapse of great civilizations. To be honest his views on homosexuality were way ahead of his time. Remember that Nixon would have been a young man in the 1930s and 40s.
Nixon ain’t holding back
You should look into who his Vice President was lol. He was even more "real".
This is a very mild selection of audio. He said more shocking things like abortion is necessary in case of white on black and how Jews caused their own persecution.
He was a racist. That's a known fact. But I bet people will defend him on that because they want to be based or whatever.
@@adaminfinity1733
It seems to me CBS is trying to defend Nixon’s reputation. Don’t know why.
@@XavierY828 the people in the comments are being total chuds. Typical
some of the quotes at the end aren't even recorded
Considering how Eisenhower didn’t really like talking to Nixion i cant imagine what Ike was thinking hearing all these crazy schemes.

Wtf I love Nixon now

How
Hey thatcher
BIASED
WTF is "based"?
why did you skip the part where he talks about the Jews?
Good question lmao
So true on women swearing btw
We. Don’t. Care. 😂😂
Women are human beings. In private, they swear just as much as men. This doesn’t make them any less ladylike.
He was wrong on womens thoughts and feelings about men swearing
Either Nixon was full of himself or he foretold the future. But, that’s my take!
Nixon was Woke AF
You Esau you're not we know better now you get with your Birthright
I just dont like his war on Pot but the rest yes.
Um.... the whole video details how that’s not true in the slightest
Based
The trump tapes will be more entertaining I reckon
Trump was real.... cant take that away from him.
If Nixon could only see what America has become today
Why didn't he get rid of the tapes
I think he was more concerned with having a record that said HE was the framer of foreign policy (Not Kissinger) that he was willing to gamble on impeachment to save this history.
No lies detected
Nixon was the man.
"I am not a crook". LOL
+Jorge Esparza Two words, Hillary Clinton.
The Political Dude is awful
+Jorge Esparza True
By starting the war on drugs and the dictatorship in Chile?
You know somethings wrong with you when Nixon is more progressive than you on an issue
Lmao
💀💀💀💀💀
Henry Kissinger was one of the few Jews who didn't feel ethnocentric and who didn't have mass in-group preference
Ok, I listened... where's the lie?
I don’t really find anything he said that controversial? He was being honest about very practical concerns. Especially with Middle East policy. There was serious concerns Kissinger might have ulterior motives with Israel.
Was he wrong about gay people though?
No
He was too tolerant, because he wrongly believed that they're born that way.
He was definitely right about the boy scouts molesting children. I remember there was commercial after commercial a year or 2 ago on TV about suing the boy scouts for financial compensation due to sexual abuse.
Nixon was right on so many topics.
Nixon was wrong. Aristotle and Socrates were not gay.
I know Socrates wasn't, because of the way he and Billy the Kid were hitting on those chicks at the San Dimas mall.
Next up: secret recordings of Bill Plante and colleagues from 1968.
And we are enjoying this
I’d say the man was onto something! And extremely intelligent. Pretty accurate.
Need to read up more on this president. ✝️🇺🇸⚔️
It was a different time in American History. If you ever watch pro wrestling from the 70's this was so common even in movies.
FYI, all presidents talk like Nixon behind closed doors. He was just brave enough to put it out there
Being brash and racist is not brave.
Based. I wish we could have kept the attitudes of the 1970s forever. It was the perfect mix of personal freedom and common sense.
There is nothing wrong in Nixon's words
Which party takes the economy and which one cleans it up. Which party caters to the wealthy and which caters to the court.
We don't care
Exactly, the Democratic Party only caters to the wealthy coastal elite.
Cuz trump isn't a rich elitist
Both tbh
How is this worse than joe Biden
It's not at all........................the only difference being one man was a genius and one man never was and now has dementia.
@@ascendant95 exactly
Absolutely Based Nixon!
William Safire, who worked for Nixon, said his boss needed to let off some steam from time to time.
Nixon was right on point about most subjects.
Based.
Speaking with common sense is now offensive, I get it.
Everything he says here is completely true.
No. They're not born that way. Plus he was wrong to be tolerant.
It is funny, but despite Nixon's views, he was not wrong that teachers and certain members of society would try to make homosexuality prevalent in every facet of society and life. The fact they flew the gay pride flag instead of the US flag holds true.
For his time and generation I am impressed actually. He was at least sympathetic
Hmmm, might be a bit controversial in this comment section but these takes seem pretty unsavory
I've listened to a lot of the Nixon tapes and whether you agree with him or not he cared about America and keeping her strong.
Let's look at the recent history of our Republican presidents. Who starts the worst and who.
Your beloved Democrats were just as bad if not worse back then. LBJ: "I'm gon have these ni**ers votin Democrat for the next 100 years!" Hillary Clinton: "They need to be made to heel". Richard Nixon was a fascinating person. You're in a cult.
Oh its not like those were not edited that and his voice is pretty much a well know meme
Most of these comments give me little hope for America.
Wdym?
Every single group of guys riffs and says outrageous stuff. Imagine doing that but your “boys” are the cabinet to the most powerful man in the world, and your desk holds the power to wipe out continents
Great guy!!
Wow way to go CBS. Just casually going over the obvious antisemitic tapes
I mean I don’t think he’s entirely wrong to be concerned. Just look at current congresswoman Talib or Omar. Can you imagine putting them in charge of matters in the Middle East? That would be the worst possible decision a leader could make. I think he was cautious. They did the same with John F Kennedy. They were nervous he would be more devoted to the Pope than the office. Trust me I’m the first to call out anti-semitism. But I don’t think this is it.
Nixon was a genius and 100% right on women, gays, and Jews.
Jesus is a Jew.
@@Batman43221And look how they killed him, his own people.
@@enmadaio.8975LOL, not all Jews hated Jesus.

@@Batman43221 Not for those who reject that salvation and insult and deny the spirit.
Say what you want about Nixon, but he recorded everything he did as president in large part because he had a respect for history. He gave future generations a gift.
Nixon's The One!
So... "The way he feels about a variety of subjects from over 40 years ago." hmm.. thats not biased to todays narrative at all, he must have been so ahead of his time open minded and liberal like EVERYONE was back then!
I don't think anybody claimed Nixon was open minded even by 60s standards
@@bill4514 maybe by 70s standards he was average
He also said Italians smell differently than other europeans. We stink apparently.. in Italy we still remember that. I don't khow how he got to that conclusion. lol
Probably the garlic
Italian’s weren’t considered white in America, until 1940. Their will, still prejudice in America towards them in the 1960’s, early 70’s.
Nixon was right.
I pray your kids get hooked on smack 🙏🙏🙏 they will become victims of the racist drug war this man started.
Okay, the more of Richard Nixon I see, the more I like him. He was a brilliant and pragmatic man, and an incredible president.
Meh. Is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Antiquated views? Probably... but definitively not monstrous. The little negative views he had about homosexual was just the ignorance of the time, he basically said that he didn't find a woman that swears attractive, he didn't attacked the Jews but rather was worried that personal issues could cloud foreign policy, and he just said that the Chines had a very different strategy than the Russians and thus one should't compare them just because they were both communist. I don't like Nixon, I think he had many flaws but I found non of them in what he said in those tapes.
On Politicians. George said. Garbage in garbage out. Meaning that the USA is responsible for its own breed or class of people...Carlin
I'm not a Nixon fan, but I'm supersized and pleased by some of these comments.
Sounds hilariousltly right. And he would be cancelled
So unfathomably based
There is nothing wrong with what he says!
I mean, he's not wrong lol.
5 million????? Wuh Wah?
"If I don't steal your house someone else will."
he's right
Question if we accept people for being as they are born, how can that hurt. I don't mean schizophrenia et all.
Russell H why would that not include people with schizophrenia? How would that be helpful?
It’s not 1970 anymore
Revisionism,
"women" and gays were not politisized in 1970
Tell me where he is wrong
He was a man of his times. Fine.
True. Those were the values of that time.
Yo, based?
