The Speech That Broke With The Establishment

- On June 4, 1969, President Nixon addressed the Air Force Academy Commencement Exercises in Colorado Springs during a critical moment in the United States’ history. When RN inherited the Oval Office, the country was bitterly divided over the Vietnam War and according to many sources, morale in the United States military forces was at an all-time low. In his address, the President saluted the Air Force cadets for their years of study and training, and celebrated them for their pursuit of the military profession at a time when military programs were often ridiculed, nationalism frowned upon, and patriotism misunderstood.

Tell me…why are we supposed to hate Nixon again? I’d vote for this man in heartbeat in 2024. 🤨
1. Because he authorized a break-in, to steal information on a political opponent, and then lied about it. Among other “dirty tricks.”
2. He then argued that a president is above the law, which did not bode well for the future. (Trump lies with every breath he takes so by comparison Nixon is a saint. But that doesn’t make him a saint.)
3. Nixon had brilliant successes in foreign policy, and some terrible failures. By ordering blanket bombing, he killed tens of thousands of North Vietnamese and Cambodians in order quote to “bring the Vietnam war to an end” and create “peace with honor.” A very big lie. Those deaths were in vain. The US skedaddled shortly after the peace treaty was signed. And its “honor” has never been fully restored.
This was a cold war speech when our enemy was the USSR. Russia is no longer a communist country or an authoritarian threat. Today our enemies are our so- called Allies who wish to drag us into wars that do not effect the national interest of the USA. The America people will discover that countries that we thought were our friends are actually working behind the scenes to destroy the USA. The Globalists' banks on wall street and in the City of LONDON now run the USA for their globalist goals and ambition, and have no love or devotion to the USA as a sovereign nation. The USA is now in their way. The leaders of the World Economic Forum repeat these goals over and over.
America must remain strong economically and have sufficient military power to defend itself. Nixon's statement that every dollar used by the American Government by the USA was taken from Tax payers is an out right LIE. All money used by the USA is borrowed from a Private Central Bank called the FED that is not part of the Government and becuse it is the creditor of our National debt is the real Government of the USA. I did like Nixon then and I still do not like his philosophy. The FED was never mentioned back then to hide what it was and that it was also in control.
We're supposed to hate him because after Kennedy/Johnson bugged his campaign and stole the 1960 election, tried to do so in the 68 election, he used the same tactics they used against him in the 72 election.
How many young Americans lost their lives in a meaningless war in Vietnam? Nixon needlessly extended the war.
Ummmm….yeah…..I’m sorry, but the fact that a man is capable of reading a piece of paper, drafted by others than himself, is by no means enough evidence of a political leader with sound judgment and moral integrity capable of running the country.
This man was an educated, well learned person. A Geo-Politics genius.
President Nixon’s farewell speech to the WH staff is in fact considered the 8th best US speech ever given.
Ranked by academics that teach at schools like HARVARD AND YALE.... now we know what kind of schools they are ...filled with teachers who hate America and love Drag Queens.
Is there an actual ranking somwhere? I'd love to see it. Happy Holidays.
Actually i think it’s number 1
Keep uploading these great speeches, people need to see how Nixon really was, without all the smears the media said about him
❤
Nixon was a criminal who abused the power of his office. He avoided prosecution by appointing a vice president (unelected) to pardon him. If we want to stay free, we can't let the facts of Nixon and people like him fade away.
Nixon was awful he got us off the gold standard, opened up china and started the war on drugs, and I didn’t even mention watergate
The gold standard one stings lol
The U.S. abandoned the gold standard in 1913. Nixon merely acknowledged it.
We don’t hear speeches of quality like this anymore…
I’m pretty sure he was a victim of character assassination
Absolutely he was. I was in my 30s at the time and was very sad at the time. His resignation brought tears to my eyes. knew we lost a very smart man. But he had too many enemies against him because of Watergate.
It is almost sad to see the vanishing quality of politicians in USA. But believe me it is everywhere the same. With very limited exceptions.
Imagine hearing speeches like this from the President! Almost forgot that they usually do speeches, haven't seen one in a while!!!😂😂😂
And remember, zero appearances in the White House Briefing Room. He has yet to show up there even once!
Nixon was, in fact, one of the best presidents of our time.
We can give Nixon his due, but we must never forget what Nixon did that made it necessary for him to resign. Nixon decided that his ends justified his means and he broke the law and endangered democracy. It could happen again.
don’t forget cambodia
What did he do?
Democracy is a lie, anyway.@neileddinger6863
If you made a president in a lab.... Nixon would be the finished product.
Tucker Carlson gave a breakdown on how they were targeting him, because he saw what the swamp was doing then. Now how does a man who wasn't even in the political scene being made president, in the fact Ford wasn't no where near being president, but was installed anyway.
What changed my mind about Nixon, is when he went to Bohemian Grove and saw what was happening, and was disgusted by it.
True story. The leaked conversation is interesting. Some weird people in the Government though.
@@victorsamsung2921now check out the Epstein papers.
@@victorsamsung2921they aren’t weird, they are criminal.
That's interesting. Can you give me proof of this---a reference of some sort?
@@danielfontenot4476 there should be a interview on this on UA-cam. It was years ago, but I think it was Alex Jones, when he was covering Bohemian Grove, and they made a reference to Nixon when he went, and he was appalled by what he saw. I'll look it up and get back to you. Give me a minute.
64 yrs old. Might be a good idea if everybody explained his age for a frame of reference.
Look up Nixon's War service. An imperfect man about whom I have mixed feelings.
Still, in his young career sought action in the Pacific when he could have avoided frontline duty.
Look up his post administration interviews. He was a strong man who withstood a lot of pressure how does convictions stayed clear.
Grew up a Quaker, seem to have had good moral underpinnings, enough to modify his belief system.
A flawed man, to be sure.....but a patriot 100% through and through. Cared about his country and it's people. Wanted the best for America. He took on the hard things that a lot of politicians would shirk because it wasn't sexy or cool. I gain more and more respect for President Nixon each month, as I stumble across these videos. I would love to find THE definitive biography or documentary on Nixon. Everything I have seen have been overtly critical. Focusing on Watergate and Vietnam.
@@cdr861532I'm no psychiatrist, "never played one on TV" but I've never understood how he got so insecure as to need that much love. ... I read in a biography that there was something about the relationship he had with his Quaker mother. A Quaker, yet he served.
Was never validated by Eisenhower during his 1960 run. That one had to sting.
A man who was always faithful to Pat
He couldn't handle a televised debate because he refused to put on makeup, had a 5 o'clock shadow in 1960. I had just been born but did read that people who'd ONLY HEARD the radio debate said he won.
Completely mishandled Watergate, should have followed the Constitution, was either involved or should have thrown the bastards under the bus.
But the real thing that gets me, the REAL THING IS that in the face of the withdrawal of LBJ, the man should have read the tea leaves, should have ended the war within 2 years of taking office in 1969. If he'd wanted to have ended it, he could have. One of the many reasons Jack probably got killed.
Also heard that Nixon went to the CIA Director and was willing to spill the beans on who had killed JFK. ... That meant they had to get Agnew out of the way. That means they install Gerald ford, affable Michigan congressman, World War II Warren Commission member.... Ford signed off on the single bullet theory.
THAT WAS SOME CONSPIRACY RECENTLY AIRED BY GLENN BECK
Backing up his beliefs with logical arguments and examples from history. So rare to see these days. And interesting to see the vast gap between the way the media portrays Nixon, and the reality of the man.
The reality is he was a criminal who barely avoided prosecution by appointing a vice president to pardon him. Freedom isn't a easy, it requires keeping people like Nixon out of office.
See RFK Jr.🇺🇸
he shook hands with mlk...
they hated him after that.
Look what all they've done with Trump
@@horustrismegistus1017 Yes - the media is having quite a time trying to explain why so many are voting for him. Funny to watch!
Based on what Biden has done, Nixon looks like an angel!😮
His subordinate did it, not him.
Lol Biden hasn’t done anything Obama is running the White House.
Nixon/Kissinger likely would have taken a similar approach to Ukraine. But they might have pointlessly dragged out Afghanistan for much longer.
He walks like an angel...
Nixon brought down by deep state He didn't order Watergate or need it Dean
Every President did stuff that is not right in some capacity and Nixon just wasn't one of those who got away with it!
Look at what the Biden administration is doing to our Country! Nothing will be done because the so-called journalists look the other way and even lie for the people in office!
Looks to me like politicians have to do certain things, "or else" - and considering how Nixon is remembered, he probably chose the "or else."
@@fusion9619 He made two mistakes in my opinion. He took us off the Gold Standard and he believed he could squash the watergate scandal! History proves that he was a very good President! Bye the way he had Nothing to do with watergate! It was done behind his back but he thought he could get rid of it. He should have burned the tapes, and Roosevelt took us off the Gold Standard and made it Illegal to own gold. Watergate doesn’t deserve honorable mention compared to what Obama and Biden have done and are doing to this Country! The Only two presidents that were better than Nixon are Regan and Trump! Strange how people only want to condemn republican presidents? Democrat presidents are destroying our Country!
@@fusion9619That's exactly how I see it, too. Well stated.
That's what every criminal would like you to believe. Everyone's a criminal so why blame me?
I wrote a position paper in Eighth grade about Watergate.
Because I’m ever the contrarian, I defended Nixon, said the prosecution’s entire case hinged upon a single anonymous witness; “Deepthroat” (this was before he revealed himself to the world). I got an A on that paper.
Nowadays I’d probably fail for “wrongthink.”
Nixon was the last great American President.
I shared your admiration of Nixon. However, when it comes to Watergate, he screwed himself. The reason that Watergate had to be covered up was not because of what happened during that half assed break in, but what the burglars threatened to divulge about their prior activities for the White House. The 1971 break in of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist’s office was the major problem that, had it been revealed, would have been instant catastrophe. The Watergate burglars essentially blackmailed Nixon to keep from “ spilling the beans”. As they say in every law enforcement television program, blackmail never ends. Nixon just keep getting deeper and deeper into it and it eventually cost him his presidency. Shame.
@@user-tv8mg2vh5f oh, I do know that. I don’t think Nixon is a saint or anything remotely close to it, I just think the quality of presidents we’ve had since him has plummeted through the floor and down the toilet.
What happened with the psychiatrist’s office break-in, though? I’m not sure I’ve heard that specific story…
I wrote a paper on Abraham Lincoln in 7th grade, but now I am researching President Nixon and am so fortunate to have these videos and his books to understand his thinking. Kudos to you for having contrarian thinking when others smeared his character!!
No you would got A+ information out today
we need him right now!🤩
The problem with people like you is, you’re always looking for an answer. You’re always in search for a savior to save you from whatever phantom problems you think afflict you. You’re trying to change the world when you can’t even change yourself.

@coimbralaw The world would be a better place if people kept their big mouths shut and stop taking their irrelevant opinions and comments so darn seriously.
He was a genius. The CIA decided to get rid of him.
He stumbled across who really KILLED JFK!!!
Is there any evidence of this lol
@@milosniffer5293 It's a documented fact that Woodward was a Intel op working in the white house
@@Eric_Blair that isn't evidence that the CIA decided to get rid of Nixon, especially because he was smart lol
@@milosniffer5293 No, but it doesn't mean they didn't. They're involved in all sorts of interference today and probably have been since their formation. Need to be abolished. J6 was an inside entrapment job against Americans.
Great speech.
The quality of discourse and the level of sophistication of argument is so utterly alien from political discourse in 2024 that its obvious how far we've fallen. I'm not living in the same country as that in which this speech was given, and it breaks my heart.
Safe to say, the liberal media at the time did not appreciate this speech.
"Safe to say" ??
There was no liberal media, or conservative media. Just journalists.
There was a very liberal media!
Before the hoaxfaux koolaid machine
@@MrAloia18no there wasn’t. It was called the fairness doctrine. You could trust nbc and cbs back in the day. They were only informing you.
Great speech...
These were leaders with their visionary ideas and leadership skills. They weren’t just politicians
A remarkable man, ahead of its time
Imagine having this quality in today’s times?
Nixon was a great president His paranoia is what brought him down his so called crime was nothing compared to the idiot in the White House if he was still around I would definitely vote for him now
Paranoia is when you imagine people are after you. The Press really was after him.
We can see now clearly, he was right. The establishment was after him, deep throat didn't take him down, deep state did.
Richard Nixon and Abraham Lincoln are my two favorite Presidents! Brilliant men!
Statist
Obama / Biden@@JK-gu3tl
Abe destroyed the nation our founders built lol
A bot that doesn't know history! What a surprise!@@ukjw2
Licon on was horrible
An excellent speech, and this from someone, who, due to physical ailments, isn't able to serve in the military.
Actually, Nixon served in the Navy during WW2.
Am sure I read that somewhere. If I'm right, JFK and Johnson were also Navy men during the war.
Not true.
He joined the Navy.
He wasn't extremely close to the front, but he had no say as to where he was stationed.
20:55
From Navy to Commander in Chief of United States Armed Forces
Really an amazing speech when taken as a whole! Not all achievable today, but at that time it was relevant, as most of it is still today
It's rare to listen to a speech like this today.
Nixon is one of the greats. Great President he was. Much Respect
I LOve NIXON!
Only 23 minutes late and his bravery is amazing.
The Americans need to stop putting themselves and their country down! Stop trampling on your flag, stop doing and repeating what the enemy tell you or wants you to do to embarrass you, you must show pride in self and country and stop kneeling like slaves. Some Americans have been derriding themselves and putting themselves, their flag and rather country down! If you don't love and respect yourself and your country how do you expect others to respect you? And to have a strong, proud, prosperous 1st world country every citizen must come together and work together to make it so, for the good of all!!!
let's try to avoid a nuclear holocaust if we can please folks.
I'm proud of my country & our people, problems & all.

Nixon was perhaps the most charismatic leader and speaker of the past 100 years. He could’ve been a great professor of international relations and history.
Agreed. He might have made a fine Secretary of State or National Security Advisor, had he not been in Congress.
He was never “charismatic”, he didn’t have an open channel when it came to dealing with people.
@@capoislamort100 Depends, with people close to him he is gregarious. With others, he tries to be and regularly succeeds.
@capoislamort100 he had such a wide array of knowledge and memory that he could tell you a fact about almost any subject. That was how he tried to relate to new people.
You could tell him you were from some 200 person town in the middle of Wyoming and he probably could tell you a fact about it
yeah I am shocked. UA-cam has done this man well.
Wow, that speech is just as relevant today as it was back then.
True. Because he spoke honestly and understandably to people who needed to hear it. It is still relevant today, because the game inside the circle never changed.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! He was too good.
They took him down. Sound familar?
Very eloquent speech. Si vis pacem, para bellum.
Rem acu tetigisti .
The US needs today yesterday and tomorrow a president who has a Nixon-like wisdom.
Whats interesting is the fact that Nixon is taking the time to explain a very complex and historical issue to an audience. What he is referencing is the idea that a United States led world would have more peace in it as we are not looking to exploit anyone for resources, we have more than enough at home. When the British or the Germans dominated the world there was mass inequality due to those empires seeking to dominate their neighbors. It’s why there hasn’t been another world war in Europe as a US dominated world prevents that from happening. What’s interesting about this is how Nixon is sitting down and explaining it, rather than hitting you with a slogan and platitudes.
End of speech is amazing.
My money the late Bill Safire had a hand in this speech.
well i think we can be dang sure it wasnt pat b. 😂
These people praised Henry Kissinger a few weeks ago, and now claim to be anti-establishment. They obviously think that we are fools!
Kissinger should’ve been prosecuted at The Hague. We need to repeal The Hague and acknowledge the fact that several of the former presidents are war criminals. Until we stop using the UN veto to protect war crimes we can claim to uphold international law or demand submission to it. The 21st century is going to be a mess because of the mercenary groups the U.S. and Russia created. 🫴
Exactly
Imagine if Joe Biden could speak with such verb and conviction. Especially without a teleprompter or an ear piece.
finishing a speech without pooping his pants is a huge win for Biden Regime
SO POWERFUL RHETORIC IS INDEED A TOOL HUH? LOL
Enemy criticism should only be used to fuel your desire to succeed!
Presidents after RMN both Republican and Democrat have asked his advice on foreign policy
NIXON IS THE ONE.
He did take us off the gold standard
That's a strawman argument. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 did and was the beginning of the eventual end. Woodrow Wilson gave the power to the Government and not the people. People started hiding their gold in walls in 1913 when it actually became ILLEGAL to Own gold. The banking Cartels would have nothing of it!!!
Do you have video of RN's speech at Dakota State College in 1969, at the dedication of the Karl E. Mundy library in Madison, South Dakota?
Say what you will, Nixon was a great American statesman.
As a European I hope that America does become great again. Not necessarily a democracy, but a republic. Stand for your values. Don't surrender to your adversaries. And don't become like them. America should not be in chaos like it is in now.
Come on, we all can do better.
No politician today compares to him he forgot more than they will ever know
If not for Watergate, this man would have gone down as one of the best ever. People forget that in 1972 he won one of the biggest landslides ever. 49 states, and Mass was the only state he lost.
My President 🇺🇸💪
Brilliant speech. But let's not forget that Nixon extended the Vietnam war four years longer than it needed be. It was already known internal to the government, with data, during the Johnson administration that the war was a fruitless endeavor.
The folly of the decision making to get us entangled in Vietnam was known prior to Nixon's first term.
No American soldiers needed to die or be permanently disabled due to combat in Vietnam during the majority of Nixon's first term. And the Vietnamese population's massive suffering was extended during that time period.
And the undemocratic decision to secretly expand the war into Cambodia devastated that country. Richard Nixon's decisions greatly harmed the people of Southeast Asia.
Great words in this speech by a great orator. But its deeds that count far more.
Ironically current day Republicans (like myself) would disagree with him on the "world peace " statements. But I understand where he's coming from.
The primary difference in the world is the fact the soviet union collapsed. China is a new adversary but is 10% as detrimental.
That's why they call it a speech. That also why some people hate Trump, because he doesn't give pretty dressed up speeches. But that's why he's also loved by the common man, and woman. He tells it, how it is. No fluff straight from the heart, and you can't control that, and again, that's why they hate him. Nixon had a brilliant mind, but it was to establish oriented, and so he said what he could, without trying to piss too many people off. Trump doesn't care who he pisses off, again that's why the common man, and woman loves him.
@@AlldatJazz-rw9wy good point.
Nixon was a great Mind and a great statesmen.
He was just over ambitious in Office 😊
It wasn't so much his ambtion, as the left's hatred of him. When he first arrived in congress, he and his wife showed up at a party with a blue suit and an off the rack dress. The owner of the Washington Post was present and determined the Nixon's weren't "his kind of people." He never accepted Nixon and opposed him every step of the way, thereafter. When Nixon convicted Algier Hiss, another darling of the left, for serving as a Soviet agent, they never forgave Nixon. That was Nixon's "problem."
Over ambitious?
Over ambitious? He was brilliant in many ways, but let’s not forget he committed some serious crimes.
what a gate to leave through though?
Tucker Carlson revealed what happened. They were trying to frame him because he wouldn't go along with there agenda. Ford wasn't even in politics, and they went against protocol and installed him anyway.
greatness
I've been telling everyone he was Framed my whole life. I watched to whole thing on TV. He was one of the greatest Presidents we ever had. They were as scared of him as they were of JFK, Reagan and Mr. T. They all give the same message!!!
He was not framed. He himself admitted that he broke the law. If you want to say he was “demonized” by the left, that’s reasonable. If you want to say he was one of our greatest presidents, I heartily agree. But he *did* break the law, he resigned because of it, and he was not “framed”. Look up the word “framed” so you know what it means, and stop spreading conspiratorial nonsense just because you rightfully admire the man. If you read his books or visit his library-museum in Yorba Linda, California, you won’t see a single claim that he was framed. That should tell you something.
I actually wrote a position paper on him being innocent and got really high marks on it. Richard was certainly a little bit paranoid, but the media actually was out to get him. He’s the last truly great American President.
Damn right he was. Ruffled the feathers of the Real powers that be
This is an absolutely excellent speech, coming from the heart and mind of a powerful man that truly believes in what he says. This speech should be shown not only to the public again, but also to NATO leaders in Europe. To me, the world is so much worse than in Nixon’s days, yet his message is crystal clear and as valid as ever.
Nixon’s anti-“military industrial complex” speech. Funny how Eisenhower’s VP flipped on him.
He was a foreign policy genius who thought it was ok to lie domestically
And the GOP's next next guy was an actor who ruined the country with stupid actor policy
Good long speech w/o teleprompter.
🔥
Can't help but think of this around the 3 minute mark
I think the only difference between him and President Reagan is looks and his voice, wow what similarities.
Prophetic
Glad to know that Nixon's head became president of Earth again in the year 3000.
Protecting freedom around the globe ever since never happened before
Certainement le plus grand président des Etats-Unis sans aucun doute.
This is an important video for Americans and all people who believe Republican Democracy. Yes, we must keep the peace. But let us not forget that if "peace" is to be maintained with force then it will cost resources, effort, and human lives. All empires fall. Empires are maintained through military force. The cost of that force has drained the all civilizations and led to their downfall. As one Great American President warned us to wary of excessive military spending. Can Russia match the US and NATO in military might? Can a pre-industrialized Communist China build weapons from WWII let alone weapons of today? We must defend our freedom. The institutions that make up our civilization must be defended. But let us not forget that Richard Nixon, elected to the highest office in our land, send his henchmen to steal campaign strategy of an opposing political party. Why did he do this? He is the President of the United States of America. Yet his act is not to defend the Institutions of American Civilization. If anything his actions subverts and mock the fundamental ideas of the American Experiment (the first democratic republic in human history). This man claims to defend the highest ideas of the modern republicanism, and yet he behaves like a power-hungry despot. Another demagogue hiding behind right-wing political correctness (I am a patriot) while he undermines the foundation of our Republic for his own political gain. Beware of snake oil salesman.
Isn’t something how someone doesn’t need to use a teleprompter. I remember President Nixon, I was 16 later on in the year when he went on tv and resigned. My mother said that he should have told them to go to H___ instead of giving his farewell speech.
Ever since Cain killed Abel we carry on likewise. Not until every man knows he is not good and acts as such will the tide turn. Ho Chi Min sent a letter of peace to that House that is called White and a Beast within its fragile façade denied its delivery to Kennedy. Evil still rules men to this very day!
By the "Beast", do you mean the Papacy?
For this era yes he is right that isolationism would have been the wrong move.
I can’t overestimate how wrong he was. Pursuing a Pax Americana through the footprint of over 900 military bases abroad is unbecoming of a constitutional republic, especially when those bases represent an affront to the sovereignty of the nations they remain in long after any hostilities have eased. The only remaining in many of those places is based on our presence there. This isn’t “isolationism.” This is pragmatic, enlightened nationalism, as Pat Buchanan would have called it. Dick, you should’ve listened to Buchanan more than Kissinger. No more policing the world to maintain “order.” It is a fools’ errand. We’ve learned it half a dozen times since this speech. Well, some of us have learned. The rest continue to pursue the same policy, expecting a different result. That is the definition of insanity. Jealously guarding our liberty and order at home IS being sacrificed by the rootless globalists who have no sense of loyalty. They are slaves to a bankrupt ideology, but because they control the printing press, for both currency and media. Therefore, they represent a clear and present danger to the United States. Their loyalty is not to our place, our people… they are loyal to a grandiose ideal that hasn’t been achieved, even after century of unchecked power to engage in this endeavor. This will end badly. Worse if by force, but not as much pain would be bared by the citizenry if they were able to back them off of their sick, hubristic vision.
Lol look at your own hubris. You’re delusional. We are not violating the sovereignty of people who allow us to be in their country.
Most US bases abroad are welcomed by the nations they are in and do not violate their sovereignty.
As a statistical matter, pax americana worked. The post war era is among the most peaceful in human history.
I remember my mother used to say that Nixon wasn't that bad. He just happened to get caught and rhat others that were not caught were far worse historically.
That generation was unique. Now they are all gone.
Lemme tell you, morale in the service was a lot lower in 1979 than it was in 1969.
Nixon was really not too bad at all
If we don't trust elite then should we trust you sir then should we trust the military?
started poor boy..grocery clerk..and cost of Beans..
This brilliant speech sounds like something we would hear in 2024 from a few patriots left in government. Incredibly prescient and timely.
By the way. First time voting was for him. I'd do it again. He got bad advice. Should have told us what the damnocrates were doing and he was trying to stop them.
If only he hadn’t been so paranoid. He was his own worst enemy. While I’m sure that others before him did some of the illegal things he did, his misfortune was in not realizing that times were changing and what had been previously tolerated was now coming to light and would no longer be acceptable. Many supported him until near the end when his involvement in clandestine actions and in trying to cover up Watergate came to light through his tapes. Personally, I think we lost a leader who was perhaps one of the most qualified men to ever occupy the White House. Our history after August 9, 1974 would definitely have been different, for better or worse.
Any information what Nixon whitehouse thought of supreme courts Roe s dicision..probally wasnt knowledgeable of supreme court roe decision.
Most liked president ever
Unlike Biden or Trump, Nixon had a brain. Given what this country has in store for the general election, I would definitely vote for Nixon.
See RFK Jr.
Nixon was smart, but Trump is much smarter.
The only problem with Trump is, he's not a politician. People tend to forget that, so they look for him to make polished speeches, like a politician. Wrong, and see that why only real people can see and, get behind Trump because he speaks from his heart, not some made up speech to mesmerize you. He tells like it is, and so he's loved by the average person as well. He's speaks for the common man, and the common man gets it. We can all see what he sees, he's just a position to expose it, as any good moral common man might. America is corporation, and Trump is the best mind for running a corporation.
@@kalburgy2114 Perhaps he was smart but It was also his decision in 1973 to take the dollar backed up by gold to a fiat currency and that is how we've arrived to the current national 34 trillion dollar debt. The dollar is slowly but surely becoming worthless since that day on to the current day with this Biden inflation.

Too bad Nixon didn't go far enough. His words on restraining military spending, not making a WPA, were extraordinary, that's for sure, but he was still only continuing onward with the vain so-called pursuit of peace as explained by Nietzsche: “And perhaps the great day will come when a people, distinguished by wars and victories and by the highest development of a military order and intelligence, and accustomed to make the heaviest sacrifices for these things, will exclaim of its own free will, "We break the sword," and will smash its entire military establishment down to its lowest foundations. Rendering oneself unarmed when one has been the best-armed, out of a height of feeling-that is the means to real peace, which must always rest on a peace of mind; whereas the so-called armed peace, as it now exists in all countries, is the absence of peace of mind. One trusts neither oneself nor one's neighbor and, half from hatred, half from fear, does not lay down arms. Rather perish than hate and fear, and twice rather perish than make oneself hated and feared-this must some day become the highest maxim for every single commonwealth, too.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
Can you explain that quote what does is basically mean , please?
@@AlAk-bm8dy First of all, I encourage you to read it again and again until you understand it for yourself. I'll try to condense its meaning as I understand it: If we want real peace, peace that means you no longer need a military force, what we call our Dept of "Defense", you must begin by trusting other nations. To show that you trust them, you must disarm yourself first, and this means not a gradual reduction of your armed forces but a total elimination of them all at once...Congress votes to totally disband the US military and replace it with a Dept. of Peace. The nation that should begin this process is the nation that now has the most powerful armed forces...that would be the USA.
Most of them have good intentions, except maybe Wilson, because by the time, they've gotten to the bottom of what's really happening, the hand will come after them, for stepping to far out of line. He tried, they were trying to frame him, and the rest is history. That's they problem with political science, and that so called, upper level education. It just makes you hesitant to go against what you were taught, because of all the deals you've made, and the hands you've shook. That's why the left hates Trump because he doesn't play by their rules. They can't control what he says, and the left knows, he's going right. Nixon was trying to straddle the line, and it cost him. And having Kissinger didn't help.
@@AlldatJazz-rw9wy Agreed, although we can never know for sure what's in a man's heart, his true intentions, and don't forget however that Trump has also made his share of deals. He doesn't play by all of the rules (which does anger the current leading political elites), but he still plays by most of the major rules, and especially he plays for his big donors and the owner-elite class of which he is a born-n-bred member.
It was good that Nixon said that we shouldn't make the military into a WPA. However, he expanded the war in Vietnam, which never ended during his presidency. His campaign also interfered with Johnsons peace negotiations with the Vietnamese. Its nice to hear an intelligent man as president, but as with all politicians you've got to look what they do, not what they say.
Government responsible over spending for year's deficit hard to overcome without budgets. Not every agency needs money within their budgets. Resolve difficulties common ground not power control and keeping updates frequently. Every action has reaction trickling down Homeland.
WE CAN SEE THE OUTCOME OF ALL THESE SPEECHES TODAY...I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY ALL MEAN ...
There is nothing America can't achieve with a patriotic populous and a military strong enough to defend itself, but not strong enough to create unnecessary war. I agree with President Nixon that there should be no shame and indeed should be great pride in our men and women in uniform, but we cannot let the global police-state that we have become continue to cost the lives of millions around the world. North America is all we need, especially the Panama canal and an integration (hopefully by peaceful means) of Canada into the union. These things were not seen in Nixon's day because he probably couldn't have imagined 9/11. We understandably flew into a rage after that horrendous, evil attack on civilians, but now we have cooler heads, and cooler heads should prevail when rage isn't as great as things like Pearl Harbor.
And he was willing to lie about coming to South Vietnam's aid.
Anyone the system tries to destroy whe should look deeper into
One of great speeches but pacifiers only realize its truthes until its too late!
