but this was richard nixon's choice. she said yes, and it proved to be wonderful for her and very good for u.s.-peruvian relations. she ended up getting an award from the government of peru. and the peruvian government, which had not had much say that was very good about the united states, actually thanked the united states for what pat nixon helped to do. >> it's also worth noting that she traveled to vietnam. >> yes. she's the first first lady to travel into a combat zone, because she insisted on visiting soldiers in the hospital, on visiting the troops. she, again, was not someone who wanted generals to give her an update. she wanted to go and talk to the soldiers. it didn't matter that it was a combat zone. she needed to go and talk to the boys themselves and to be able to calm them down, because her son-in-law, both of her sons-in-law had been in the military. and she felt very close to all of these young men. >> the trip to peru was her first solo trip, but she did go. she did accompany the president in 1969, and t

the difference between richard nixon and donald trump is that richard nixon did not start the rioting in chicago. that could be what donald trump is trying to do. and the announcement that he made today about chicago. well, the attorney general william barr standing beside him, donald trump announced that he is going to send federal officers, mostly from the department of homeland security to chicago. and donald trump and william barr are not even pretending that they're sending them there to protect federal buildings as they claim they're doing in portland tonight. the acting secretary of homeland security was at that announcement today. he is a former lobbyist who has never been confirmed by the senate and has absolutely no experience whatsoever in law enforcement of any kind. at today's announcement standing beside the president and that attorney general, that former lobbyist said the department of homeland security mission in portland is to protect federal property and our law enforcement officers. in chicago, the mission is to protect the public from violent crime on the streets.

richard nixon has no chance at all. he responds with a very radical maneuver. >> nixon tells his team to use a woman to monkey wrench the negotiations in paris. >> anna, a fundraiser of nixon campaign is telling saigon stay away from peace talks and you'll get a better deal if nixon is elected. >> as my candidate joins me in this, neither he or i will say anything that might destroy the chance to have peace. we want peace. >> i think it's dirty pool for dick's people to be messing with the south vietnamese ambassador. anybody keep measures to all the crowd they're just tied up for a few days. >> lbj feels confident to move forward. the condition that north neat vietnam has asked for has been met. so, four-party peace talks, will happen. well in saigon november 1st, the president stands up and drops his major bombshell. >> translator: south vietnam cannot participate in the negotiations. >> i have no more things to tell you. >> embarrassment is commonly today among americans here in vietnam particularly those of us who h

. >>> by the time we got to the republican convention in 1968, richard nixon had done very well in the primaries leading up to that, but he did not go into the convention hall in miami beach having been assured of the nom nation. he was sure. >> nelson rockefeller decides at the last minute to try to make a serious push to gain the nomination even though he had vacillated for months. >> i felt crowds facing this nation at home and abroad were so serious that i had no right not to make available what experience i had for the use of the party in the country. >> rockefeller is probably the most liberal republican of the era. they were moderate republicans who were just a few steps from liberals. >> mr. rockefeller would get 41%. all the black democrats and republicans and independents, that is, to cross over and vote for him. >> mr. nixon's whole record on civil rights has not been good. >> i want you to know that this marks the end of one journey and we think the beginning of another one. >> one of the key things that nixon did was to build a network of support among political leaders th

trump is no richard nixon. donald trump is much more corrupt than richard nixon. on friday night, donald trump pardoned his long-time associate roger stone after roger stone said publically that he had criminal information about donald trump that he was with holding. here is the way he said that in an interview on friday which was delivered you are geurgently in. roger stone says he doesn't want a pardon which implies guilt but a commutation and says he thinks trump will give it to him. he knows i was under enormous pressure to turn on him. it would have eased my situation considerably, but i didn't. turn on him means testify against donald trump with federal criminal prosecutors. roger stone says doing that would have eased the situation considerably. the only way that could ease the situation is if he was able to deliver to prosecutors accurate, provable, criminal information about donald trump, and roger stone refused to do that. joining us now is a member of the house judiciary committee. she was in the roo

nixon. >> when 1968 begins, it's an open question whether richard nixon can win anything. >> you have that stigma has a loser because of losing two big contests. how do you plan to combat that? >> the way you combat it is to win something. >> nixon lost two big elections, to kennedy, to brown in california. people would say, the guy's a political loser. talented, yes, but a loser. >> america will be watching on march 12th. let the people go out in new hampshire, the people of new hampshire want a change and america will have a change in november. thank you. [ applause ] >> television is a vital, political meeting place. to be successful, a candidate must use the medium and use it well. richard nixon prefers informal, no-holds-barred discussions. >> new hampshire was the first time we saw a new innovation in televised campaigning. richard nixon's aides would gather a group of ordinary citizens and have them, instead of the media, asking questions. >> any further questions that you have? >> and they made it look like richard nixon was this brave truth-teller, who was willing to face dow

and william barr watched richard nixon's second attorney general plead guilty. he negotiated that plea on charges of perjury he negotiated the perjury charges down to the lesser charge of nontestifying truthfully to a senate committee and getting a prison sentence that was then suspended as part of his plea deal. and that is what makes william barr's testimony today so profoundly and deeply shocking. president trump's mental health has been called into question. his neurological function is declining, according to some mental health observers. president trump's niece, a trained clinical psychologist, has publicly diagnosed for us why president trump can never stop lying. but today is the day, if you haven't before, to begin to question the neurological function of william barr. because william barr knows that the attorney general of the united states can be and has been convicted of crimes. republican attorneys general. william barr knows that attorney general kleindinst pleaded guilty to not testifying truthfully. and still, william barr chose to do that today.

i am christopher nixon cox, grandson of president richard nixon. and on the half of my family and the board of directors of the nixon foundation i want to welcome you to another important event here at the richard nixon library, birthplace and use them, the of which is right behind me here. today we are honored to have secretary of state mike pompeo to have chosen the nixon library to make a major speech about u.s.-china relations. like we do so often at the liberia, , we are going to begia program with a prayer here would you please remain standing and welcome greg laurie, the senior pastor at harvest christian fellowship for an invocation. [applause] let's all pray together. father, we're so thankful to live in this country, the united states of america. and one thing we treasure so greatly is the freedom we have from you to pursue life, liberty and happiness. we have the freedom to speak our minds, the freedom to worship and the freedom to proclaim the message that jesus christ died for our sins and rose from the dead, and to give the personal l

this interview from the richard nixon presidential library and museum and was conducted by the former library director on july 9th, 2018. >> when you graduate from 1973, what do you expect to be doing in 1974? >> well, i expected to be doing what i started out doing when i graduated, which was to go to work for the children's defense fund. i had interned for her i think after my first year, maybe. and, again, i think that's right. i wanted to go to work with her so i moved to cambridge and began working, doing investigations and litigation around issues like the incarceration of juveniles with adults in adult prisons or the efforts to give tax exempt status to private segregated academies so they didn't have to pay taxes. issues like that. expanding childcare, getting better conditions for migrant workers. that's the kind of work we were doing. and that's what i started doing when i graduated and went right to cambridge to work for her. >> please tell us about the call from john. >> this is a very funny series of actions. i was down visiting bill in arkansas right around christmas. an

then he ran on a racist campaign which is what richard nixon did. he ran as a moderate, didn't win and when he came back he ran an explicitly race -- well, i would consider it explicitly racist campaign. this is what trump is doing. when all else fails, you go to that original sin. did you to that area of vision that you think you can win, which is race. so when he talks about the suburbs, as if black people don't live in the suburbs, when he talks about affordable housing, that's a blaring dog whistle. when he talks about this will be biden's america which is ironic because all of these are from trump's america right now. >> right. exactly. >> this is a very old page out of the playbook. >> yeah. you know, jalani, the most ironic part of it is as nicole just said, because of the way that downtown has become so expensive to live in, the suburbs are actually becoming more black and brown. >> that's right. >> gentrification is browning out the suburbs. he's appealing to the part of the country where the black and brown are living because they can't af

the staff of the nixon foundation and the richard nixon presidential library has enjoyed a long friendship and professional relationship with carl. in many ways we consider you part of the family, carl. when we called them back in april to propose the idea of a first lady exhibit, lecture and luncheon series carl's enthusiasm was contagious. in five months the concept had become a reality. ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming carl anthony. [ applause ] >> thank you for all of you who are here today. many of you here for all of the lectures. a special thanks also to chris who he has thanked a lot of individual staff members, and everyone has contributed and played a role. but certainly chris has been very calm in overseeing that all of these events have gone smoothly. so a special thanks to chris nordak. and from bill the director of the foundation to cheryl, the secretary, to jim. i'm giving you their first names. maybe some of you know them all. but really i gave 100% only because i saw that i was getting 100% back from everybody. it's been an amazing experience. it's the kin

richard nixon received the title. he won that honor not only because he was acknowledged even by his critics to be a brilliant foreign-policy strategist, but it was far more because he earned it. he learned as congressman, senator, president, and every day thereafter as a private citizen ambassador that piece is not achieved by signing documents and declaring the job done. to the contrary, he knew that peace is always a work in progress. he knew that peace must be fought for and won a new in every generation. it was president nixon's vision, determination and courage that open china to america and western world. as president, and for the rest of his life, richard nixon worked to build a relationship with china based upon mutual benefits and obligations that respected america's dead rock national interests. today, we in america are obliged to assess whether or not president nixon's laborers and hopes for such a relationship have been met or whether they are being undermined. that is why it is of such great significance

to commemorate richard nixon's 50th anniversary as first lady. the white house historical association has taken an additional partnership, and here is a digital exhibit highlighting efforts to 1972 to the original french empire style, photographed documented and video footage of this project. providing greater insight to her accomplishments as first lady, and highlight her commitment in the white house collection for future generations. this exhibit can be found on our website starting today, at white house history .org, and soon will be available on the nixon foundation tonight marks the third of four episodes on our quarterly program for 2019. moderated by gentleman's, and our fourth program will take place on october 29th, with former white house executive pastry chef the, fan favorite of everybody in this room, as well jennifer pickens, they have two new books that will be out and there she is right on cue, she will be joining us on october 29th. and and will have another program with jennifer, we advise you to be back with these presentation

i'm the richard nixon foundation events director and i'm honored to introduce today's speaker. the nixon library has presented first ladies exhibits before and offered lerk offered lectures topics but we haven't offered a first ladies exhibit and luncheon and lecture series all combined. when planning and coordinating the concept we analyzed the needs and quickly noted the need for a specialized guest curator. carl anthony is one of the nation's foremost experts on presidential wives. he's penned over a dozen of books and has the privilege of interviewing the clintons, laura bush, as well as the nixons and the fords. his accolades are vast and many. the staff have enjoyed a long friendship and professional relationship with carl. in many ways we consider you part of the family, carl. when we called him back in april to propose the idea of a first ladies exhibit, lecture and len luncheon series, his enthusiasm was contagious. please join me in welcoming carl anthony. >> thank you for all of you who are here today. many of you here for all of the lectures. a special thanks also t

nixon did happen in richard nixon's case i should say course president ford then pardoned nixon after he left office but again it's not clear whether pence would play along with that here it's really would raise certain eyebrows so i don't know how serious they would take any of those concerns at this point particularly because not many of these matters are likely to come to fruition before the november elections almost all the work under frisian afterwards is a very good point we want to remind our viewers scott about the controversy over trump's tax returns trump says that his taxes are still being all that it's been a long period for the old it 4 years ago before the election i spoke with nick checks and he's one of the only journalist to ever interview done with trump about his taxes and this is what shocks and said in july 26th seen about trump not wanting to release his tax returns one of the things i wanted to i was looking for because i'm an expert in tax havens i was looking for donald trump using tax havens and i asked him a couple of times about this and he said he said you

well 1st of all i see in my palm pale speech at the richard nixon presidential library was an insult to those nixon political legacy and it's an insult to china u.s. relations for more than 4 to one yes no talking about change i would say no other country has changed them all then china has over the past 40 years and if that changes are good for chinese people's interest of course i will work up whatever changes we can bring along if the changes are to stop china's economic rise i think all the chances people will unite behind the chinese government to oppose and fight against those changes i think what panto is talking about is that china should no longer develop and shall i should give up the rights of peaceful rise and this is what the townspeople can never accept china neat changes the more the better if the changes will change china for the better and will improve the living standards of the chinese people and these changes are what china are pursuing but these changes are exactly the opposite of what people at home pale and wishing for so we are at a very important crossroad ng

who is richard nixon? how did he get where he is? so a fact would be richard mill house nixon was born on date of birth in wittier, california. and he would say, no, those are two pieces of information. you have one card for the year he was born and one card for where he was born. because apparently, in john's practice, he would use these cards to find patterns. and if he didn't have enough of the >cdofacts, he couldn't dedu the patterns. so we learned, i mean, that's why we had these little cards. and they attempted, as i recall, some method in the library ñ >> organize and sort them, but, you know, really, computers were not in common use. and i think john preferred his system anyway. so we spent a lot of time doing these cards. and looking for anything that could be a piece of information that might go into the presentation we would make to the committee. >> is it true they used knitting needles as a way of sorting the cards? >> ixt+u think that was a short-lived experiment. i don't remember because i wasn't really doing it, but

richard nixon have to find a vice president. but critically he needs to find a vice president who can be confirmed. and in the political climate of that time, there were very few people. if he left his brothers, he would have picked john connelly. but connelly, a former democrat turned republican, could not sbrn confirmed. neither could ronald reagan or richard nixon. in the end basically the democrats on the hill, mike mantsfield told the white house if you want someone who can be confirmed easily, pick jerry ford. and that's what the president did. >> their time as vice presidential couple was very short. december of 1973 until that day in august, 1974 when president nixon resigned and they moved to the white house. much of that time was consumed -- the country was consumed with the unfolding wat watergate scandal. so, it was a time the ford's didn't do much. >> he hit the road. he'd get out of town. >> and she was back at the house in alexandria. >> she was back at the house in alexandria. she said she realized for the first

absolutely i actually had the great honor and privilege of working for richard nixon when he visited china in 1985 as a private citizen and we travel together to several cities in china in addition to beijing nixon impressed me a great deal with his vision with his historical perspective and also with his carry on channel u.s. relations so i see what my own pale did in the nixon presidential library is a sekret it is a really an insight of the nixon historical legacy now i see what the united states need to do is to figure out a way to get along with china whether us is bigger than china or whether china is bigger than us it doesn't matter that much the key is for china the united states the 2 largest economies in the world they need to get in there are with each other and you knew to figure out a way to deal with each other's differences for example with respect rather than go into each other's juggler rather than trying to wrestle the other side down to the ground because that's not possible the more pressure people i promptly helpful on china the more resilient china becomes and t

you know, everyone remembered those famous pictures of richard nixon at the helicopter. with the "v" and what they don't know is what president ford, soon-to-be president ford said to his wife on the way back into the white house. he realized his job was to reassure the country, and if he couldn't reassure his wife, he couldn't reassure the country. and he leaned over and he just whispered in her ear, we can do it. and it was just the right thing to say. he said a lot of right things that day. you know, now, there were a lot of problems and controversies that ensued, but you're right. there is a sense that it's as if the country had been building up, you know, to this thunderstorm, and the storm raged for a while, and then suddenly, you know, the clouds parted and it was normal again. there were people in the white house who we could recognize and relate to. one of her -- you have to remember, this was like going to live on another planet for these people. the first days, she actually lived in the white house, she didn't understand. she would walk through the halls and s

die while richard nixon is president. because nixon does not quickly, easily, or effectively end the war in vietnam, the anti war movement in the years ahead full radicalize and explode and create an incredible polarization among the american people. that's for next time.

i'm the richard nixon foundation events director and i'm honored to introduce today's

richard nixon signed the nepal legislation. we are in another critical point but this is getting to be as i said to you look at all the number of people, 50 million more people have died since they haven't taken up the bill and a large number more have become infected. we are going to have 137,000 since we passed the bill. 50,000 added to that in 2 million more people. on the floor, to ensure that parents go back to work and childcare workers can keep their jobs. this is very very important and a very high priority for us. and then we have great outdoors, bipartisan bill the past the senate and we are protecting our natural heritage and honoring our values with the no ban act, and access to counsel so we have a number of things including this next week or the next. removing statues from the capital. our children. what we want to do - they can't do it if it isn't safe. they can be safe if they execute the defense production act to make sure it does. thank you all very much. >> the house and senate return on monday to resume legi

nixon the democrats in the new york times as i just heard mentioned here have said since richard nixon nixon's going to take america in the world who are history reagan will take us into world war 3 trump will take us into what was there this hysteria never ends it's always the same the democrats are never tell us the world war 3 and yet it's often the democrats who lead us into war whether it's vietnam or other wars we've been in other entanglements so i think the president on fairly strong leadership and stuck to his promises of not entering america in a new foreign wars i think that's a strong positive. why doesn't he just start firing people if you're not going to get what i want you're fired next in line you doing a lot of that you're hired to ok no i'm very serious about this because the american people do in the last 3 presidential elections voted on an anti-war plank ok and republican or democrat didn't come through so ray i mean what does that tell us that this is a separate power on to its own because it took for me it's once huge grift i mean human you mentioned geopolitical

ford have any president for its decision to pardon richard nixon? >> that's a great question. and it's one of the elusive areas. she said very little about the pardon, she thought it was necessary, an act of courage. she said what you'd expect her to say and her first memoir. . i will say this, i look towards the end of his life and when the dawn of candy library chose to give him the courage award, specifically for the nixon pardon, he was initially reluctant to go. to go all the way across the country. he didn't see the emotional significance of this, and it was mrs. ford who convinced him, jerry, this is the greatest honor that has been bestowed on you. >> people asked him about the birth, people stop asking. >> robert is in chicago, hello. >> think you for your time. i understand two presidents, kennedy and hoover never received an income as president. did mrs. ford receive any kind of income after president ford had passed away? thank you. >> first of all, you're right about hoover and jfk. in fact rejecting several salaries as president. he never accepted payment for any

this is the hardest working person on the president's campaign if you think about it and richard nixon's campaign in sik six years saw him go from congressman to senator to vice president of the united states in all of these campaigns, some were very, very difficult. 1952, okay, running for the vice-presidency when the scandal on the finances erupted and how that person wounded her so much because it was a challenge to their integrity not so much challenge to policy and projects but to their integrity. so this famously, you know, shy person or quiet person -- she didn't have the be the loudest voice in the room -- was wounded by that and you can understand why. >> i was watching, again, this wonderful tape that was done and i was watching it and thinking oh, i wish she could have seen that. and then i thought get a grip, she never would have let you do something like that. never in a million years. she was much too modest to ever, ever think about letting you do something like that. >> the one thing she has not gotten adequate credit for is the pandas. who can tell the panda story? >> gr

more than 55% of the country voted for either richard nixon or george wallace. and if you go back and look, at what wallace and nixon were saying, it is what trump is saying. it's that your neighborhoods are in danger, chaos is in the streets, and i, dare i say it, as trump would say, i alone could fix it. this is a perennial american meme and it is something that is going to require immense vigilance on the part of the democratic party and people who do not want this election to turn out the way 1968 did in order to prevent that eventuality. >> but hasn't the demographics of this country changed, john? >> donald trump is president. you tell me. >> right. >> seriously. right. yes, of course they have. because of the voting rights act and because of the immigration act in 1965. two big things happened that year that created what we have now. the voting rights act which gave some enforcement to the 15th amendment and the immigration act which lifted the quotas that have been in place since the white backlash against immigration in the 1920s. the country is radical

richard nixon signed the legislation. yesterday wei said are at another critical point. this is getting to be -- look at all of the number of people. 54 million more people have died since they have not taken up the bill. have becomeer more infected. haveweek, we're going to 130 7000 since we passed a bill -- 137,000 since we passed the bill. 50,000 added. 2 million more people infected. week, just tell you, next we are going to have childcare bills on the floor to ensure parents can go back to work and childcare workers can keep their job. this is very important. a very high priority for us. we are going to have the great outdoors act. a bipartisan bill that passed the senate. we will be protecting our national -- our natural heritage with that. honoring our values with the no ban act.o we have a number of things. we are going to be passing bills next week for the next about removing statues from the capital of people who have committed treason against the united states of america. we are busy. nothing more important than the lives of our children, our children, and the

nixon and several key supporters. a morning memorial service featured billy graham and bob hope was the evening entertainment at the monument. this u.s. information agency covers the celebration. missing is any discussion of antiwar protesters who waded naked in the reflecting pool and were later teargas by police. -- tear gassed by police. >> this is richard strater in washington, d.c. each year for the past 194 years americans have celebrated the anniversary of their independence here and in thousands of towns and cities throughout the united states. this year's fourth of july celebrations were something special. the nationwide honor america day, as it was called, was a nonpolitical observance with leaders of both political parties taking part. americans from all walks of life took this opportunity to find the common ground and affection for the country and to share that affection with others. the honor america day program was simply a celebration of the 194th anniversary of the day on which the colonies of north am

i was a young age to richard nixon and henry kissinger at that time. i remember as if it was yesterday. that set american foreign policy with china in a certain direction for 50 years, he was right. our thoughts, republican and democrat alike was as china modernizes and comes into the world, they will be an open society, open economy, but that's not how it turned out. the chinese have exploited that and in fact that's why pompeo was at the nixon library today, he's indicating we now have a reverse, we are now acknowledging the fact that the chinese have stolen intellectual property rights, have militarized the south china sea, have unleashed a bio weapon onto the world, have practiced wolf diplomacy and we in the trump administration, we in the united states are going to have a very different approach to china going forward and that's exactly what he was telling you. when he was in copenhagen, or london, he was talking to america's allies about getting the coalition together so they can together stand up to china. >> martha: what does china's coalition

and in a sense, you know this as former director of the richard nixon presidential library, ever since richard nixon, there has been a strategy largely employed by republicans to court this white backlash. why do you think it's not working this time? >> every so often candor enters into the president's tweets, and he just recently tweeted "lone warrior." and that really describes at the moment his efforts, as you said, to court a white backlash. president obama, when he spoke not too long ago, was talking about the diversity of the movement, the black lives movement, the movement on the streets in response to the murder of george floyd. he noted how different that was from the '60s. i would also point out to other hopeful signs. i share with annette the sense of hope. in 2001, the state of mississippi had a referendum on what to do with the flag. two-thirds of those who participated in the referendum voted to keep the flag. the state of mississippi just removed its flag without the kind of demonstrations and backlash that certainly would have happened if a governor had done that in 200

die whilee will richard nixon is president. because nixon does not quickly, easily, effectively ended the war in vietnam, the antiwar movement in the years ahead will radicalize and explode and create an incredible polarization of the american people. that is for next time. >> you can watch lectures in history every weekend on american history tv. we take you inside college classrooms to learn about topics ranging from the american revolution to 9/11. that is saturday at 8:00 p.m. and midnight eastern on c-span3.

preparing the remarks for the secretary 's speech he was going to give it that richard nixon presidential library, the secretary mentions president nixon's historic visit to china and says that engagement with the chinese government has failed to live up to the change that nixon had hoped to create a period of democracy's most abandoned blind engagement with china general secretary is a true believer in a bankrupt totalitarian ideology. if we could no longer ignore the fundamental puddling to local and ideological differences between our countries. he floats the creation of international alliance of democracies to reduce change in china's government. yesterday the state department under the chinese government to vacate the consulate in houston and china is warning the u.s. to reverse that decision and if not, promising to retaliate. if the fbi claims china's consulate in san francisco is protecting a chinese researcher who prosecutors have charged with lying about her military background to get a visa to come to the united states. state department officials say there's been a market incre

since richard nixon back in the 1970s has willingly disclosed their tax returns before taking the office of the presidency. so donald trump broke with precedent by withholding these documents, saying at one time that they were undergoing irs audit, and then his supporters and defenders said the voting public and elected him without seeing them, so it really wasn't important to disclose them. ever since them now, he's been engaging in this long legal battle to keep the documents from coming out. maybe someday they will be seen by the public, but that day does not appear to be by the public, but that day does not appearto be any by the public, but that day does not appear to be any time close — and may not be until after donald trump's presidency. the un has ruled that america's killing of iranian general qasem soleimani violated international law. the us killed general suleimani, iran's top military leader, along with nine other people in a drone strike near baghdad airport in iraq injanuary. in the aftermath, fears spread that the killing would lead to a war between the us and iran, an
