He would be stunned how much worse it has gotten. The media doesn't even hide it anymore.
He would be. But what is remarkable is that he could be saying the same thing today. Nothing has changed.
He'd be flipping tables.
The only thing he's missing is that the media is in bed with thr government that Nixon is/was part of. Might not have been applicable back then but today for sure and his words would be apt.
They’re literally broken people. They’ve been separated from values and logic, separated from the world, but they think they know better than the common man. They are husks of people
Nixon was wrong about one thing in this interview. The media was restrained in its use of absolute power up until about 10 or 15 years ago. Something changed and now they are not hiding it. They have obviously become pure propagandists.
I suspect they realized just how stupid the general population is and lost all fear of being seen for what they are.
Watching Nixon makes you realise how far the calibre of politicians has fallen.
Complete agreement --- much of the electorate behave (at least at the national level) as if stupidity were a virtue.
He was the smartest President for over 50 years.
Damn that's what I was thinking. We're over thinking were at a banquet while we nibble on cracker crumbs.
@@slewone4905 the best we had since Teddy Roosevelt, and only Ronald and Donald join them in that class ever since.
A few years after this interview the Church hearings proved Nixon was 100% correct about the corrupt media.
In school Nixon was portrayed as a bumbling fool who got impeached. Oh how wrong they were. This man puts most modern politicians to absolute shame. Well done Nixon Foundation!
*Nixon was highly intelligent*
If anything, Nixon's downfall may have been that he was too intelligent for his own good. He was the smartest guy in the room, usually by a mile; but he knew he was the smartest guy in the room, and up until the humiliation of Watergate, he let that blow too much smoke up his you-know-what, as they say. Post-presidency, after his ego had been knocked down several pegs, he was better able to harness his intelligence in more positive and productive ways. The last 12-15 years of Nixon's life were one of the better redemption stories ever written.
Nixon had a good cabinet. He was a terrible president. Kissinger kept him from going full Trump.
The state knew what it was doing
Agreed. I was always taught that he was a corrupt stupid man and now that I'm older and I can hear him for myself I find out that he's quite articulate and intelligent behind those ears and eyes.
I like how the interviewer not once interrupted him. Asked a question and let Nixon finish. He listened unlike journalists now.
A very underrated comment over a brilliant observation
because the journos now are controlled by the enemy
Fifty years later... he's proven to be right again.
Just like Trump!
😂
-Eisenhower was right about the military-industrial complex
-Nixon was right about the unaccountable media
-Reagan was right about the potential for liberal tyranny
-Trump was right about the illegals
Hmmm, I wonder if there is some “common denominator”???
@@perfectsplit5515McCarthy was right. Funny moustache man was
@@bradchambers5886 Forgot about Joe McCarthy. I am wondering if the history books were wrong to demonize him.
Say what you want about Nixon but he sounds 10 times more intelligent than what we have in politics these days.
Same here in U.K.. I remember when political decisions where debated in a packed parliament. The only time that chamber is full now is when they (MP’s) are voting on their pay rise.
I agree, Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden really have been an embarrassment for America for different reasons.

This explains why the media always makes a bad picture of Nixon
"Media Elitist Complex" AKA "Democrap Globalist Jews".
The more I hear from Richard Nixon, the more I like him.
I grew up thinking he was the most corrupt evil politician in American history. Wow did I find out the exact reverse. All I knew about him was he wasn't particularly attractive and watergate. Guy probably saved the world multiple times over and we never will know it.
He was so right it's unreal
That's why they hated him
@@RJ-lj3zt The dual citizenship individuals
That's why he has enemies. Donald Trump is going through the samething.
People Forget! Nixon Got 🇺🇸 Out! Of Vietnam!
@@RJ-lj3zt its why they do not like trump either
For all his faults, Nixon was a brilliant man. One of the most thoughtful and intelligent presidents in American history.
Faults?
He reacted, he NEVER ordered the break in at Watergate, you can thank G Goron Liddy for that, but he was guilty of the coverup.
Clinton covered up his sexual affairs, and Joe has cackhhead son. keep in mind, Trumps kids are doing fine.
Better than all his successors.
@@patrickmccutcheon9361 Nixon was truly one of the very best American presidents. A very brilliant man, and a great American patriot. 🦘🦘🪃
Tricky Dicky strikes again.
Nixon was a good president. He was just very paranoid.
I met him twice at Le Cirque. The second time he waved me over with my date and I said, "we have to stop meeting like this." His memory was insane.
Woah
You definitely got laid that night. Am I right?
Awesome!
Very cool, thoughtful act. Much the way Pres Trump acknowledges others 😊
Sorry to hear that
My father used to always tell me that Nixon was completely different than how he was portrayed by the media and history books. Nixon was one of the last remaining genuinely intelligent and good presidents we ever had, his landslide record election proved that. Nixon was completely right about the media and the bureaucracy.
As a kid I was taught by media both Nixon and Reagan were jerks. I now know it was the media that were jerks. And today they border on treason for some of the destructive lies they deliberately peddle as truth. And openly meddling in elections.
Also like Reagan. I didn't realize how much of a number they'd done on him till I saw in real time the number they were trying to do on Trump, the information available now for those who want to look can let you see things much more clearly.
You may already know that President Nixon wanted to see age limits -- I'm thinking 70 - 75 -- for Congress.
In 1983' when Nixon spoke these words, 50 companies owned the vast majority of media in the US. Today last figure I saw was 5. Nixon was correct to be concerned about media and monopoly of information and perspective and here we are.
Another scary thought
Hot wheels and Matchbox are both owned by the same Mattel.
Just think about this, you think buying one "hurts" (figurativly speaking) the other, but their profit loss or gain means nothing when they are both owned by the same company. Now just imagine if Hot Wheels and Matchbox are so different in style and "choice" yet are the same, just think about how the rest of everything else is.
@@jackalenterprisesofohio Good point. Even the economy at large as measured by the stock market is controlled by a vast majority made up of only 3 players in Vanguard, Black Rock and State Street. And I suspect if you looked at interlocking directorships, it's even closer. I came of age and awareness with the Nixon Presidency but the world at that time was far more decentralized than it is now. As unperfect then as it was, looks almost idealic compared too today is some areas of society. Odd looking at now, I think even Nixon would be a critic of the present order and he was far from perfect to start but I'd feel more at ease with Nixon as President even with his flaws compared to what either of the 2 parties will give us as a choice this year. And not too excited about independent or 3rd party options either. We're in a bad spot IMO.
This is one of the few good things that social media has been able to bring: more freedom of information. We no longer need to get our news from mainstream media; instead we can determine for ourselves who delivers trustworthy reporting and support them directly. The only reason brands like CNN even still exist is because they have deals with UA-cam to push their content over others.
7 oil companys are now 3 large oil companys. I see a pattern here.
He was concerned the media wasn’t doing his bidding
I love how the interviewer asks him a question and then lets him answer. Imagine that.
Who is the interviewer? Tucker Carlson’s father?
@ld4035
Did you ever listen to a Hussein interview?
He talked in circles never actually answering a single question.
I believe he still does that!
@@onclebob2178I was sitting here trying to figure that out. It’s like watching Tucker in another universe
It is a lost art. They all want to hear themselves these days.
Haha
4 minutes straight and he didn’t mix up leaders, countries, cities, nor pause for 20 seconds to think his words through. Sad what we are at currently and he would be appalled.
Nixon was my neighbor growing up in San Clemente. Actually got lectured by him. Great interview and so observant! Too bad the media has gone off the rails!
It’s gotten much worse now President Nixon.
With social media and censorship joining in too.
@@victorsamsung2921They have given us all the ability to censor each other. The worst kind of censor-ship

I owe President Nixon an apology because I was dumb enough to believe the lying media.
Same here. In our house, we weren’t even allowed to say his name growing up because he was so hated. Trump derangement syndrome version 1.0. So sad to see history repeating itself.
Same here
A lot of people fell for their lies. I’m a huge skeptic, saved me from that mistake.
He received the most EC votes of any candidate only MA didn't cast its votes for him and yet two years later he is out of office in disgrace due to journalism gone wrong.
I hope you're not referring to the Watergate scandal as being a lie against Nixon.
Rip, President Nixon. You would’ve loved podcasts.
Adlai Stevenson Jr. Said "Richard Nixon is the most brilliant man who has been President in my lifetime."
I always knew history would look more favorably on Richard Nixon.
Unfortunately, history isn't reflected correctly by the media.

Absolutely. Watergate is nothing next to a president who advocates for mutilating children's privates under the guise of "affirming care."
Hidden reply
@@Surprise_Inspection The infamous hidden reply is often the sign of a hOmOsExUal GaYrAy lurking about.
Indeed
Makes me wonder what Watergate really was
Right from when i watched his debates with Kennedy, ive always respected President Nixon. The only thing that has happened over the years as I watch UA-cam videos of him is that the respect has only grown. Watergate was a tragedy to his stellar public service. RIP
How prescient! Nixon was one of the most brilliant men ever to become President. I miss his opinions and analysis of current events.
It fits PERFECTLY 40 years later. Great interview.
He wasn't a crook, the elites were.
😂😂
He was still working under the U.S. government, he’s also a crook. Get real.
@firstnamelastname956 Look in the declassified files that were released he was set up by the CIA just as Kennedy was assassinated by the CIA. The elites needed a Biden and Gerald Ford was it.
Start researching and wake up.
This interview makes me realize why they took him down. Most people weren't awake at that moment, so they were able to.
„They allowed their advocacy ahead of their reporting“. Still true today.
My hippy parents lied to me about Richard Nixon. I think he’ll be remembered more fondly in the years to come.
This is nothing new. The media has taken sides, and influenced the narrative for much longer than most people think. Look at any list ranking US presidents, and you'll invariably see Warren Harding listed as near the bottom. As one writer put it: "Harding’s legacy is perhaps modern America’s first example of how an ideologically motivated media and academic establishment can set about dismantling politically inconvenient truths and installing a false narrative in their place."
There was a stock market crash in 1921. Not quite as bad as the on in '29, but it wasn't far off. Harding resisted calls for the government to "do something," and as a result there was no Great Depression in the 1920s. The KKK experienced a resurgence starting during the Wilson administration (which had resegregated the military and the federal workforce), but Harding supported an anti-lynching bill that was filibustered by Democrats, and went to Alabama, the heart of Klan country to give the most impassioned civil-rights speech that had ever been delivered by any American president.
During his first year in office, Harding freed all of Wilson's political prisoners (whom Wilson had jailed for opposing his WWI policies). When Harding died of a heart attack in office, he was among the most popular presidents in history. But after his death "progressive" reporters focused on his extramarital affairs, and the political scandals (e.g. Teapot Dome) that did occur during his presidency -- though there's no evidence of Harding's personal involvement in those.
As the same writer I quoted earlier put it: "Harding was a smashing success in a historically important role as the anti-Wilson: He restored a classically liberal, rights-focused, limited government, and deserves immense credit for the economic boom that kicked off in his first year and continued throughout the rest of the 1920s (though his agricultural tariffs were misguided). His legacy is a useful example of how left-wing journalists and academics will, when they can’t argue with success, instead set about destroying the reputation of any Republican who might have engineered it."
Maybe they were lied to? Nice characterization of your parents.
How did they lie? By not telling you Nixon would have been convicted of obstruction of justice had president Ford not pardoned him? Yes…Nixon was an intellectual who under no circumstance could have rallied the uneducated today as MAGA’s or whatever. I’ve watched so many Jordan Klepper UA-cam videos from Trump rallies and I can assure you NONE of the people I saw interviewed was a Nixon voter. Don’t see many in the videos who look like neurologists or CEO’s of a major bank.
@@beanindividual4000 He ought to know what his parents are/were like. It's not like the Keatons of "Family Ties", a rather self-congratulatory and self-righteous couple that were part of the "Sixties", but now, inexplicably, have the upper-middle class lifestyle they once despised, and wonder WHY their oldest, son Alex, is gung-ho for Reagan and "Greed is Good". Yes, many of the "hippies" were indeed LIED to, but typically those that are easily misled often have ALREADY deceived THEMSELVES.
I find it a "rule of thumb" that the more a prominent man is despised and HATED, absent PROVABLE atrocities and crimes (like Hitler, Mao, or Stalin), in general, the more he is RIGHT.
That would make you gen X right?
History has proved him right.
I live in the UK, and I find the Richard Nixon Foundation UA-cam absolutely fascinating. I have been viewing everything on here! lol

“He’s a populist.”
In other words: He’s not “American”… he’s an “outsider”……. And finally, he’s a “Russian asset.”
That’s the game right there. To make the opposition seem like an invader by tying them to another “bad” country.

With all the negative things I have read about Nixon, I am surprised to be an instant fan once I actually hear him in person. Looks like the media wrote so much negative stuff about him that it created an image.
The worst problem I see in much of the media is not what they choose to report, but what they ignore.

I've always believed Nixon was a good president I didn't care what others had to say about him he sent troops to Israel to stop them from being analated
What a well spoken and intelligent man. Can never expect this from either side today.
I can't believe how ahead of his time his insight was. Anyone under 30 realy has not lived long enough to see with full understanding.
It's amazing how in school all that my teachers ever focused on was a quick coverage on Watergate... completely ignoring all of his accomplishments, his popularity and acting as if he was a terrible President.
Now that I've been able to reanalyze his life's work... I realize this man was railroaded and his legacy trampled by the established order.

@@johnkemker7784 Ancient Vulcan proverb.
Now do Trump.
The social media reporting cycle has amplified this problem 10x.
Legacy media themselves have amplified the problem 10x. What Nixon identified as an attempt at selling more prints and increasing ratings has now evolved into outright control of the masses.
Indeed it has. [sorry for writing a whole essay, I just feel like this is the only way to have a safe debate without people getting physical]As much as it is easy to just pull the plug and just outright ban it(like TikTok in Montana) it doesn’t fit well in a nation that heavily emphasizes the First Amendment.
The problem I see with people trying to be their own reporter for like youtube, TikTok, IG and twitter, is that at the end of the day they’re all trying to sell their story to make money to feed themselves. In that particular state you kinda lose the quality assurance, and instead just trying to dish out as many stories as possible. Some reporters mix in their own ideologies and opinions to sway the viewers into believing them. Whether it true or not it really doesn’t matter because they’re making money anyways.
If everyday citizens wants to be their own reporter they should have a badge like every other reporter who reports to their publishers.
Back on January 6th 2021, I wrote down my thoughts as I was watching people storming the Capitol. I was talking about how people should be measured on how much influence they have on the world. All these people with these “subscribers and followers” should be held accountable for how much influence they have on other people, movie stars and actors knows this better than anyone.
Right now it just seems that the trend for everyone is to play the victim card at the right time gain popularity and make money, and become the very thing they hated.
With the current proceedings/hearings that’s going on with Mark Zuckerberg right now. Maybe we can come to a new compromise on how information is shared and how to hold these social media corporations accountable for byproduct of the usage of social media.
I don’t use twitter but having community notes, especially on political content should be mandatory due to how dangerous it is to sweep an entire nation or even the world into mass hysteria over absolute horse shit nobody will realize isn’t true until years later. That’s if they realize at all.
Exactly 💯
It’s also fascinating that those who do their research are actually the one who are causing all this issue. I used to be that child, who would argue with his mother and be like the science proves it. Now I’m disgusted with what science is putting, permanent body augmentations, gender bending this and that. I’m just not all for it. And now these folks are saying what I’ve said to my mom all those years ago, only now is that “the data says this is possibly, the data shows this, the data shows that” it’s like “oh come on now, do you just have the data for apparently everything?” It’s total bs, “you can’t have everything, if nothing is left behind”(learnt this from a communication professor)
It’s a small victory, but I’m glad that there’s jobs out there now that are being more lenient to those without college degrees.
Also my first comment no longer appears🙃
President Nixon was a very intelligent, articulate and tough man. We would not enjoy the lifestyle we have if Richard Nixon had not opened the way to trade with China. Full Stop. Great interview and great for President Nixon that he didn't shrink and stood up to the "press" for himself, love that.
This is how you make ones legacy live even the history lies in front of you.
Which is why TV and movies never pass up an opportunity to take a shot at President Nixon.
Nixon wasn't banished for the Watergate theft. He was banished for ending a very profitable war.
It's makes you wonder about all the other "villains" that were manufactured in history. Guys we believed were bad because the media told us too.
@@EdmacZ Exactly. Can't even count how many times growing up seeing comedians do that cheesy "I am not a crook" impersonation. Pot shots at Nixon were just standard procedure for the media complex. They made sure to work it into Forrest Gump.

Ever notice how when a Republican is under the microscope, we see the best journalistic reporting on the planet, bar none; and when a Democrat is in the same situation, the journalists forget how to do their jobs...
Interesting point considering the history of the parties.

Yup joes favorite ice cream is chocolate chocolate chip
It's no better when it's a Republican, they just lie to try to destroy them instead of protect them.
The fact that the Durham Investigation didn't become a national talking point is direct evidence of this. Crazy how much corruption there is
"They can find everything wrong with somebody else, but they will not look inside and ever admit that they could be wrong themselves"
Woah, I felt that.
Watching Nixon you realize what old school politicians were/looked like back then. I like when he says, " I believe in free press".
Boy Nixon looks like a goddamn angel today compared to these corrupt politicians we have in there now
Remember , he had NO intention of resigning , but it was turncoat REPUBLICANS who came to him and told him to "RESIGN" or face impeachment . Sound FAMILIAR ?
AND there is an entire political party DEDICATED to doing the will of that "media" (yes , the order is correct) .

BUT that devious side wasn’t his ENTIRE makeup like Trump. But for Trumpers that’s okay because as Trump said after the Nevada primary in 2016, “I love the poorly educated”. That translates to working class loyalty that never goes away. The wealthy and well educated don’t live that way…so it’s a mystery to us.

Nixon content has become relevant to current times and events. His spoken firm grasp of the issues would serve us well in the present on the domestic front, and especially the international fronts.
Richard Nixon would provide a steady experienced hand at the helm. He would unify the nation and give us the focus we need in these turbulent times.
Richard Nixon's take on the media is spot on. It gives a balancing background to what occurred in the Watergate issue of yesterday, and the media's role in what is occurring on the domestic arena today. The media today lacks balance and focus. During Watergate the media was myopic and over zealous. Today the media is self- confused and lacks focus to properly inform the public. The media has become a circus.
@georgehunter2813 I'm no capitalist I'm no pro American and I'm certainly no lover of Nixon but because of Watergate he gets a very bad rep and compared to previous and post presidents Watergate was a mild crime. Plus nixon was the last president to do anything to help the working class of America even just a little.
Indeed! Very underrated!
How correct that intelligent wise President was and how relevant he is now- more so than ever
yes - "Nixon NOW more than ever", (that was his re-election slogan I believe..)
Scary to see it come full circle now
He was right. I have no faith in the media anymore
If you tune out the media you have been duped. The elite of society want you to tune out of their exploits and crimes. We gotta stay vigilant and aware
My grandmother, an old school black southern Republican had two wishes in her later years. She wanted to go to Israel which she ultimately did. Her second great wish was to go to the White House and shake hands with a Republican President. She didn’t meet Eisenhower but President Richard Nixon fulfilled that wish for her in 1970. Her name was Emily Lambert Holt. Thank you President Nixon.
Wonderful
That is brilliant.
You’re welcome!

Richard M. Nixon was a wise man, this interview proves it. It's unfornunate that America doesn't have a president of his kind nowadays.
God willing we can visit Pres. Nixon's Library. He was truly an intelligent man! A great President
Nixon was correct about the media. And he was an intelligent, thoughtful man. The Eisenhower farewell address is also very accurate especially for today, 60 years later. The swamp!
the Eisenhower farewell address was accurate
but also chickenshit
the man was a passive smiley face icon people trusted as a patriot while he
presided agreeably over the military-industrial complex's political entrenchment,
then he made one pretty speech as soon as he could do nothing about it, then
immediately turned back into a smiley face lapel button
appointing folk who'd steered '30s USA investment$$$s to building Nazi war tools
to key Foreign Policy posts in Ike's cabinet is one of many reasons to say so
choosing Prescott Bush as golf buddy & personal political advisor was another
Truth is always relevant
That's why he won
The people should look into the finances of congress and senators. We need to know which military industry is giving them money for campaigns and how many stocks they have in said company. They receive about $180.000 a year for their salary yet look how many are millionaires. It is said that alot of the people in congress are getting alot better returns on playing the stock market than Warren Buffet. We all know he is one of the best at picking winners in the market! Sounds like insider trading.
John F Kennedy made it worse by allowing the swamp to have a union.
Richard Nixon correct as usual
Wow, why am I concurring with Mr. Nixon?
Because you got smart and grew up over the years.
It's not by accident they kicked him out.
They made us believe he was the bad guy and most of us fell for it.
If anyone is intellectually honest with themselves they would read about what happened with Nixon and Watergate, and compare it to what Obama did, and I guarantee they would shut up about Nixons supposed abuse of power.
Great comment. Compared to Obama, Nixon was squeaky clean
He was so right about the media.
Mr. Nixon, if only you knew just how badly our schools have framed you in our course work growing up. I now understand why they tried so hard to discredit your past.
course you do, sweetie
How far the media has fallen.
"Media Elitist Complex" AKA "Democrap Jews".
The interviewer was Frank Gannon, Nixon's Chief of Staff, after he left office. Media has gotten even more powerful if you consider how the corporations have bought up tv and radio stations and dominance of twitter and Facebook and instagram and so on. Nixon Library is a good Presidential Library. Good clip.
I thought it was Tucker Carlson’s father! 😊
Dan Rather proved President Nixon’s point
When he said "I am not a crook", he wasn't lying.
Truth right here 😊❤
So impressive as always. I wish he had been around a few more years. 1994 was too soon to lose this great man.
Media controls the flow of information
Lately, most media outlets deal in propaganda. Even 60 Minutes has been corrupted.
Who controls the media? I see a lot of funny last names 🤔🤔🤔
Which is exactly what brought you here. Lmao isn’t that ironic?
That just means we control the flow of information for whom is media playing for? Us! The consumer! If you watch whatever content the media puts out, the media will advertise corporate products! They media is the bait, corporations are the hook and we, the people, are the catch. Capissce!
A real statesman. Imagine that. After the last 12 years , I think history will be kinder to Richard Milhous Nixon.
I love the “support Joe Biden for president “ ad before this video 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing he could forecast these problems as if he were talking about the Media in todays age. A very very wise man and a great President.
Oh man this aged phenomenally well. Love him or hate him, he's right.
He was complaining that everyone RIGHTLY called him a bad guy.
Now he would be called a good guy in media because it is finally fully sold
@@agnidas5816 This interview was taped in 1983. Nixon previous had stated he "liked the days of the 50s when the writing press was dominant." He believed television would eventually devolve into what we see today, and ratings bonanza and he was right. The 80s was the start of the media monopoly.
@@agnidas5816 Wrong. The media did not change its politics and agenda. It only has gotten even more partisan. They wrongly called him the bad guy and they would do the same today. He was a populist.
It doesn't strike you odd that the man who was caught in criminal acts by investigative journalists has an axe to grind against the media. That didn't occur to you at all?
Why do you have high praise for people with little regard for law democracy or human life?
People have blindly trusted the media. Nowadays politicians do 10 times worse things than he did, but no resignation, no punishment.
Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.
Thank you for this video and for all the positive comments as well. I met Pres. Nixon (after he resigned) he was my passenger on a Pan Am flight. I was working First Class and he was the only pax. besides his security. He was the most charming, mannerly, and humble President I have ever served. We got to chatting. I am N. Irish and he was of N. Irish descendants. I remember telling him that one of my childhood friends was a Nixon and about my family coming to this country.. I cannot say how nice it was to meet him and talk with him. He gave me his business card (I didn't ask - would never) and signed it - I keep it, framed, on my dresser. He also signed the flight log for the Captain and when deplaning, he hugged me and told the Captain what a great girl they had in me. It was such a nice compliment. I have met many famous people, politicians, Presidents, and none were as kind and as humble as President Nixon. I will never forget that meeting and what a pleasure it was to serve him. RIP You were a great man.
Thanks for sharing! GREAT story!
great story
I am jealous but glad you had this OIAL meeting. Nixon is also Scottish descent. Clan Nixon is a lowland clan (means family) and were a part of the "Devils Dirty Dozen" as the English govt used to call them; 12 great riding (equestrian) families that fought English domination and helped to.keep Scotland's independence (with quite a bit of pillaging and trickery against them to survive and achieve this) In fact 75% of US Presidents have Scottish lineage. Quite amazing when one realizes that our US Constitution was modeled after Scotland's Declaration of Arbroafh, and given Scotland's 400 years of loyalty and defense against the Roman Empire not to mention British, and Viking attempts to dominate this North Atlantic island. Never underestimate the Scots - they are fierce in their determination and unparalleled in their creativity and invention.
Interesting. You are correct on the influence on America's formation. However, and perhaps this needs clarifying, it is the Ulster Scots. As our two coast lines, Northern Ireland and Scotland are less than 30 miles apart, Scots and Ulstermen traveled back and forth between the two areas, intermarrying. Of the 44 men who have served as President of the United States (as of 2018), no fewer than 20 could claim Scotch-Irish roots. This includes all four first-generation Americans who have occupied the White House, three of them with Ulster parentage. Pres. Trump's mother was a Scot. Nixon's Milhouse family ties were with County Antrim (where I was born). My grandparents on father's side were from Glasgow and were also Quakers. Nixon's ancestors were believed to have lived in Carrickfergus for a time. so interesting! We are the Kirkpatricks (clan Calhoun) - the Plantation of Ulster distributed Scots all over the six counties of N. Ireland in the 18th c. - they were to settle there because they came from strong, Christian stock who would never give up! Proud of our ancestry -- :) I loved your post, Thanks!
@@lynb2039 makes me even prouder of Scottish lineage!
Compare his fluidity of thought and getting his message out there compared to the now.. lol What a difference .
He was so correct about this. True then, true today.
We need more Presidents like Nixion.
I remember being told that the Great President Reagan often talked with President Nixon concerning matters. Both men were brilliant.
Nixon was a remarkably intelligent man. He had the MSM pegged as biased which they were already way back in the 70s. A lot of falsehoods were told about him back then which was sad. On foreign affairs he was way ahead of his time. Many of the things he made observations of are true today. China's apprehension toward Taiwan being one of them.
They have been doing it to Trump since he came down the escalator to announce he was running for President. They have never stopped doing it. The MSM is not to be trusted with any story they present.
He did unfortunately recognize China, which allowed our companies to outsource our jobs.
Vietnam bad. No support for soldiers. Left a generation of men that felt used for no reason. A slap in the face to veterans.
I miss you Richard Nixon
When I was a kid, my Dad always said, "Nixon was a shrewd political." The more I learn about Richard Nixon, the more I realize my Dad was right.
