A president speaking coherently. What a surprise.
Where is journalism like this now ? Simple straight forward questions with honest amswers.
Real questions, Real answers. Really miss this stuff.
My Dad who loosely followed politics back then, said the general understanding was that Nixon was ok with domestic issues, but a genius with foreign policy.
My history teacher used to always talk about how smart Nixon was and how presidents after him would go to Nixon for advice and after watching several interviews with Nixon I understand. He was very intelligent and strategic, even down to how he formulates his sentences. Makes you wonder what would’ve happened had watergate not occurred.
Nixon was a lot smarter than people give him credit for.
He would be a good advisor to any sitting president
When it comes to foreign policy, Nixon is the master strategist.
Note how he maintains eye contact with his inquisitor. He is confident that he is in command of the subject matter, and rightly so.
This Nixon moment in 2024 is so beautiful. Salutations fellow Nixonites.
I cast my very first vote for this man. Every clip I see of him makes me even more happy with that choice. I think young would-be politicians could learn quite a bit by studying him.
I think I'm officially addicted to these shorts. President Nixon was an intelligent man, there's no question about that. A complex and fascinating individual.
Nixon would've made a great radio personality, his voice was on par with the top people with beautiful voices who did it
saying this as a centre-left, Nixon is one of the most intelligent and respected presidents in US history
My god! I wish we had leaders like this today! Far reaching, intelligent, coherent! people we need not be ashamed of!
If this interview took place today, the interviewer would have interrupted him at least five times throughout the span of this.
Notice how eloquent and informed he is? A blithering fool he’s not.
I don’t hear any “gotcha” questions - and I do hear a President on top of his geopolitics.
Why have people so degraded President Nixon? By today's standards Watergate was just a hiccup. Richard Nixon was a man who understood international politics. Probably more so then many of the USA leaders who have followed him.
