Well that was really great. His intelligence and leadership sure blows any of the last 3 “Presidents” out of the water. It’s so important that raw footage like this still exists and is freely shared. Too bad the majority will never see it and learn.
Richard Nixon was a titan as a politician. Unfortunately, he let his personal demons get the best of him. It does seem that people today are rediscovering Nixon and how smart and strategic he was.
He was a terrible president who did great things! Opened the doors to china and Russia. Made the voting age 18 and lowered the speed limit from 70 to 50..amongst 100 other things. However, he prolonged the Vietnam War by promising the North a " better deal" when he becomes president. He covered up watergate and was litterally friendless.
Yep, nobody yelling out idiotic catcalls and behaving like complete asses. We have really sunk to the point where we elect human garbage to represent us. Some day it will bite us in the ass!
BACK IN MY YOUNGER DAYS, BECAUSE IT WAS TRENDY AND HIP TO HATE THIS GUY, I DID JUST THAT. FAST FORWARD; I FIND THIS MAN TO BE A TOTALLY BAD-ASS PRESIDENT. THANKS DICK!
If one looks at how State of the Union addresses have been filmed, Richard Milhous Nixon's have been the best. The kinetic nature, the novel framing and of course that odd pastel quality to the colours. Plus film but even the '80s look barbaric in comparison. I adored the shots at the end.
nixon was caught on tape saying some not so good words about blacks once.. and im not saying this to be disparaging.. just stating facts.. and here's another fact.. BLACK PEOPLE LOVED HIM!!!.. I'm middle aged.. and when I was teenager.. a black retired army sergeant that i came across said if nixon ran for president tomorrow he would vote for him mainly because of vietnam.. When I was probably about 10 years old I remember hearing a black lady say (and she was poor) how good of president nixon was. she was referring to his social policies. Those are two examples.. the crowd that I was with when I was with the black lady was a mixed crowd.. of black folks and white liberals.. all of the black folks agreed with the black lady. men and women. The white libs were looking stunned.
After listening to this, I now understand why the powers that be wanted him gone. Between the CIA and the military individual complex, he didn't stand a chance.
54 years later. Nothing has changed. Inflation, families suffering because of government spending, corporations price increases. American will always be the same 😅
Nixon had so much going for him and he blew it all because of his paranoia. That led him to wander into areas that proved deadly. Perhaps it can be explained by the things that were common in politics and government back then that the public never knew about. Unfortunately, times change and there often comes a point that what was once grudgingly accepted is no longer tolerated. I think Nixon was caught in such a situation and his self destructive practice of taping everything he discussed was the final nail in his coffin. His knowledge of the world and government would have made him one of the most consequential presidents of the 20th century had he completed his second term. Instead, his substantial accomplishments will always be overshadowed by Watergate and the illegal actions related to it.
No.RFK wanted to be buddies with both sides of the law.You gotta be 1 or the other..When you get killed as a head of state/Senator or other high post you grow a halo.Sad moment in history but history righted itself even through Carter.I voted Ford and Reagan but I had respect for Carter. Sadly,a nice guy.Rfk wanted that title but wasnt to be.I hated to deliver papers that day.
@@bdwilkie I am not sure what you are saying. If JFK had lived, and won re-election in 1964, he would have been out of office in 1968. This is from 1970.
Nice statement of clean air Fascism and other related sundries. The price of goods should be made to reflect ... to redirect growth ... each individual must enlist ...
I voted for Nixon every time he was on the ballot for President. I do not regret it at all. Probably the most intelligent man ever to be President.
Good for you Rex.
Nixon could fire out answers then ask the press a couple. Unreal
Last of the real men.

He was strong.His tenure with Ike and his first 6 years as President were great. Vietnam was not started by him or his.

Yes, but on the other hand, "I'm a little teapot, short and stout, tip me over and pour me out"
A great President
Not really
He was ok
He sure was. Ready the time machine-we need him to be President again!

Created the clean air act as well
One of the best presidents ever, he was perhaps the most intelligent of all too.
John Quincy Adams was the most intelligent
Wow..see how they all loved him back then... a good President and man
Hey look its me
Hey Mr President
Mr Nixon, why did they hate you so very much?
Hello Mr. President
Hello my 1972 opponent

Do you really think Woodward and Bernstein would have went after Kennedy or Johnson that hard?
How hard did they go, exactly? Didn't they have some FBI guy who got passed over for promotion undermining the president by feeding them clues?
@Pine Hawk They were democrats, so of course not. There’s a serious double standard between both parties & has been for several decades now.
@@2H2521 Woodward was a Republican. Hell yeah, they would have gone after Johnson, maybe even Kennedy too.

Same speech every four years yet nothing changes. War, crime, civil unrest is only worse now.
The union is fine according to my Cuban burglars
It should had been Robert F Kennedy giving the State of the Union Speech.
