Now in the final stretch of the 1972 campaign, with negotiations to end the war in their grasps, and more news stories bubbling under the surface over Watergate, Richard Nixon marches on with a substantial lead in all the polls. In this episode we listen to the back and forth between the parties in Vietnam, never quite able to get the deal done. News reports about the activities of both campaigns on the trail, with heavy hitting endorsements from actor Charlton Heston and singer James Brown for Richard Nixon and commercials with common folks opposed to the war for Senator George McGovern. In the last half of the show, on election eve, President Nixon pays for a 20 minute address to make one final sales pitch to the nation as to why it is important for him to stay in office for the next four years.Then , 30 years later in an oral history for the Nixon Library, hear George McGovern talk about all the things he had grown to admire about Richard Nixon. and then finally listen in on a phone call as Richard Nixon performs an act of kindness from one candidate to another, three weeks before the November election, and it is an act that should remind all of us, on both sides of the aisle, that in the end, we are all fellow human beings, and fellow Americans first and foremost, no matter how divided we are on political issues big and small. ***** Ranked number 17 as one of the 60 best American History podcasts of 2022 by Feedspot.comhttps://blog.feedspot.com/american_history_podcasts/

SUMMIT IN MOSCOW. On May 22, 1972 Richard Nixon was the first American President to set foot inside the Kremlin as he and Soviet Leader Leonid Brezhnev would hold the first Summit meeting. It would lead to various treaties and the start of a thaw in Cold War relations between the two world Super Powers. It was there in Moscow that the two nations signed the SALT 1 agreement, the Strategic Arms Limitations Treaty. In this show we look back at this momentous moment and here from several of the folks at a conference at the Nixon Library about how the summit came together and how it changed our diplomatic positioning through out the world. We listen in on a documentary about the summit just after it concluded and finally we listen in on something no one in America during the height of the Cold War would ever believed could happen. We listen as President Richard Nixon, one of the most anti-communist leaders in the entire world, addresses the people of the Soviet Union on primetime television.

Hello Studio 360 fans! We're sharing the first episode of a new podcast project, Nixon at War, hosted by Studio 360's Kurt Andersen. Nixon at War is a seven-episode history, a fresh new kind of chronicle about how Richard Nixon turned Vietnam into a war at home… that we're still fighting today. Most accounts of the collapse of Richard Nixon's presidency begin with Watergate - the now iconic tale of a bungled break-in and the misbegotten cover-up that followed. But what led to Watergate? How - and more puzzlingly, why - did one of the shrewdest, most gifted political figures of his time become embroiled in so manifestly lunatic an enterprise in the first place? Intrigued by that question, novelist and historian Kurt Andersen takes a deep dive into the vast archives at the Nixon Library and emerges with an answer he wasn't expecting: While Watergate doubtless accelerated Nixon's spectacular fall, it was the Vietnam War that led inexorably to the break-in, and from there to the sinking of his presidency. At the heart of the series are hundreds of tape recordings from the time. Buried, never before heard, confidential conversations that play like dark drama. To listen to the new series, visit NixonAtWar.org, or search "Nixon at War" wherever you're listening.

Most accounts of the collapse of Richard Nixon's presidency begin with Watergate —- the now iconic tale of a bungled break-in and the misbegotten cover-up that followed. But what led to Watergate? How —- and more puzzlingly, why —- did one of the shrewdest, most gifted political figures of his time become embroiled in so manifestly lunatic an enterprise in the first place? Intrigued by that question, writer/journalist Kurt Andersen takes a deep dive into the vast archives at the Nixon Library and emerges with an answer he wasn't expecting: While Watergate doubtless accelerated Nixon's spectacular fall, it was the Vietnam War that led inexorably to the break-in, and from there to the sinking of his presidency. For Andersen, who came of age in the Vietnam era, that answer in turn begs another, larger question: How did Richard Nixon, with all his foreign policy savvy, allow himself to get trapped in the same quagmire he had watched engulf his predecessor, Lyndon Johnson? These questions are the central concerns of Nixon at War. Over the course of seven episodes, Andersen peels back the onion and emerges with a new and deeper understanding of both the man and the war, and of the complex linkage between them.

Pompeo, Trump unleash new phase of aggression vs. China

On July 22 Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivered the latest blast of aggressive rhetoric against China in a speech at the Nixon Library in California. Pompeo openly called for regime change in China, saying that “if we don’t change China, China will change us.” In almost hysterical language Pompeo made it clear that the U.S. ruling corporate and political elites are terrified of China’s socialist development and its emergence as an independent country with its own interests and capabilities. Pompeo’s choice of the Nixon Library as the venue for his speech was no accident. In a maneuver to isolate the Soviet Union, former President Richard Nixon pursued a “thaw” in relations with China beginning in the early 1970s that led to the integration of China into the global market. Pompeo cast his speech in historic terms — the Trump administration was reversing the fundamental policy set into motion by Nixon nearly five decades prior and instead turning to unmitigated hostility. “President Nixon once said he feared he had created a Frankenstein by opening the world to the CCP [Chinese Communist Party]. And here we are.” Pompeo said, invoking crude, demonizing imagery. He characterized China as a country of oppression, with no freedom of expression or human rights. In Pompeo’s presentation, it is a place so steeped in the evil domination of the Communist Party that only an American-led campaign to end the current system and bring Western “freedom and democracy” to the country will save the Chinese people from their fate.

This episode features the lion's share of their conversation which was about 15 minutes. Football dominates the conversation as the two discuss Washington's come-from-behind victory at home. Nixon displays a solid knowledge of the NFL as he and Allen talk about players from both teams – including Hall of Famers Sonny Jurgensen, Roger Staubach, and Lance Alworth. They go over the next games on both teams' schedules and ponder possible trades Washington could make as the team makes a successful run towards Super Bowl 7. This is a very fun listen for any fan of football and/or politics. President Nixon greatly enjoyed pro and college football as well as his friendship with George Allen.

The Death of Engagement: America’s New Cold War with China | Orville Schell

In Episode 149 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Orville Schell, Director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society about the implications of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's monumental speech at the Nixon Library, the history of engagement with China’s Communist Party, and what a New Cold War with China will mean for the future of peace and security. Dr. Schell’s career as a China scholar spans the entire arch of US-Sino relations since Nixon’s fateful trip to the Middle Kingdom in 1972 and the opening up of China to the world. The same year (1967) that Dr. Schell earned his master's degree in Chinese studies an astounding 70 percent of Americans agreed on one thing: the greatest threat to U.S. security was the People’s Republic of China. After fifty years of engagement where relations between the two nations would improve dramatically, Americans are now back to viewing China as an enemy. A Pew Research Center poll conducted in March 2020 shows that roughly two-thirds of Americans now say they have an unfavorable view of China, the most negative rating for the country since the Center began asking the question in 2005, and up nearly 20 percentage points since the start of the Trump administration. Positive views of China’s leader, President Xi Jinping, are also at historically low levels. In a recent speech delivered at the Nixon Presidential Library, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared the failure of 50 years of engagement with China and called for the free world to stand up against this “new tyranny” in what felt very much like the beginning of a new cold war. “It’s true, there are differences,” remarked Pompeo, when contrasting China to the USSR. “Unlike the Soviet Union, China is deeply integrated into the global economy. But Beijing is more dependent on us than we are on them.” “I reject the notion,” he continued, “that we’re living in an age of inevitability, that some trap is pre-ordained, that CCP supremacy is the future. . . . If we bend the knee now, our children’s children may be at the mercy of the Chinese Communist Party, whose actions are the primary challenge today in the free world. General Secretary Xi is not destined to tyrannize inside and outside of China forever unless we allow it.” In their conversation, Orville Schell and Demetri Kofinas discuss the speech, what it means for US-Sino relations, and the implications of disengagement for the US, China, and the world.

Political Scientist and presidential expert Lori Cox Han has written an absorbing analysis of the many, many memos that Pat Buchanan wrote while working in Richard Nixon’s White House. Buchanan was in the Nixon White House from the very beginning until the very end, and many of his memos are now available to study at the official Richard M. Nixon Library & Museum in Yorba Linda, California. Cox Han has had an interest in these memos and Buchanan’s particular role in the Nixon White House for quite some time, and this book fits into her long-standing research stream examining presidential administrations, especially their communications structures and strategies. As Cox Han notes, Buchanan had a unique position in the Nixon White House and this also helps to contextualize these many memos and Buchanan’s thinking while working for Nixon. In her analysis of these memos, Cox Han lays out the role that Buchanan played in the Nixon White House as a strategic thinker in terms of the shifting political dimensions, especially in the Republican Party at the time and the growing conservative movement. Advising Nixon: The White House Memos of Patrick J. Buchanan (UP of Kansas, 2019) brings together over a hundred of Buchanan’s memos, either written directly to President Nixon or to other close advisors to the president. These memos, chronologically arranged and annotated by Cox Han, provide readers and scholars with insight into not only the president himself, but the structure and processes of the Nixon Administration, from the campaign trail in 1968 through the last days of his presidency as Richard Nixon resigned amidst the Watergate scandal.

After being inaugurated as president of the People’s Republic of China five years ago, no single leader in modern Chinese history since Mao Zedong has assumed more power, or sizably projected his personal influence both domestically and internationally. Calling for a national rejuvenation, Xi has pledged to expand the middle class, and make more reforms for increased foreign investment. In foreign policy, Xi’s China has become more assertive. China has deployed its military overseas for the first time since 1950, and made claims to territory in the East and South China Seas. It’s also committed to billions of dollars in foreign aide for developing nations. In October 2017, the Chinese Communist Party abolished five year term limits, paving the way for Xi to rule beyond 2022. What does his leadership mean for the political and economic future of China, and superpower relations with the United States? Participants: Elizabeth Economy is the C. V.

Richard Nixon skapade vår värld

Richard Nixon är för många synonym med Watergate-skandalen. Men enligt Mattias Hagberg la Nixon grunden för en framgångsrik politik präglad av splittring. En politik som nu spridit sig över världen. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Kort efter Richard Nixons död och begravning 1994 beskrev veckotidningen LA Weekly en rad märkliga fenomen. En säkerhetsvakt på Nixon Library and Museum, där den före detta presidenten just blivit begravd, berättade att han en natt sett ett märkligt grönt och fluorescerande ljus ovanför Nixons gravsten. En annan natt hade han sett en man kliva in i Nixons arbetsrum fast dörren var låst. Och vid ytterligare andra tillfällen hade han hört märkliga ljud från museets utställning om Watergateskandalen, bara för att nästa dag upptäcka att utställningens apparater inte funkade som de skulle. I artikeln berättade även flera besökare att de sett en mystisk gestalt och känt en märklig kall vind när de vandrat genom museet. LA Weekly gav inte mycket för historierna. Rapporteringen kring Nixons spöke var mest kuriosa. Samtidigt går det inte att komma ifrån att bilden av Nixon som en gengångare är talande. Frågan är om han inte hemsöker vår värld mer än vi faktiskt tror. Frågan är om han inte är ett politiskt spöke närmast osynlig, men betydelsefull. Han har reducerats till en politisk skurk. Han har blivit själva sinnebilden för den moderna politikens sämsta sidor När Nixon lämnade Vita huset med svansen mellan benen i augusti 1974 var det många amerikaner som drog en suck av lättnad. Äntligen skulle landet kunna återgå till ett normalt tillstånd efter månader av märkliga turer kring inbrottet i demokraternas kampanjhögkvarter i Watergate i juni 1972. Nixon var på många sätt en politisk bondfångare, en demokratisk charlatan, en bedragare. Watergateskandalen var bara ett av många demokratiska övertramp. Faktum är att få amerikanska politiker har bettet sig så vårdslöst med sitt ämbete som just Nixon. Skandalerna har också präglat Nixons eftermäle. Han har reducerats till en politisk skurk. Han har blivit själva sinnebilden för den moderna politikens sämsta sidor, även för oss som inte var tillräckligt gamla eller ens födda vid den här tiden. Men Nixon var också något annat. Något djupare. Något som först blivit tydligt under de senaste decennierna. Jag är övertygad om att andra halvan av nittonhundratalet kommer att bli känt som Nixons. Han är den mest betydelsefulla offentliga personen i vår tid, slog den republikanske senatorn Robert Dole fast i sitt tal vid Nixons begravning. Han var en stor beundrare av Nixon och ville självklart understryka hans betydelse. Men samma tankegång återfinns i flera av de senaste årens mest intressanta böcker om Nixon, skrivna av journalister och forskare långt från den amerikanska högern. Mest läsvärda är historikern David Greenbergs välskrivna Nixons shadow (2003), journalisten Rick Perlsteins monumentala Nixonland (2008), kulturteoretikern Carl Freedmans nätta men högintressanta The Age of Nixon (2012) och författaren John Farrells Nixon The Life (2017). Vad var det då Nixon gjorde? Varför kan det vara värdefullt att tala om Nixons skugga, om Nixons tidsålder eller om USA som ett Nixonland? För att förstå måste man söka sig tillbaka till tiden innan Nixon vann presidentvalet 1968. Han var högerns reaktion personifierad. [...] Under slutet av sjuttiotalet började de ekonomiska skillnaderna åter att växa. De rika blev rikare, de fattiga blev fattigare. Sextiotalet var en mörk period för den amerikanska högern och för stora delar av den ekonomiska eliten: det republikanska partiet var splittrat, vänstervågen sköljde över universiteten, de svarta var i uppror, kvinnor och homosexuella kämpade framgångsrikt för sin frigörelse, samtidigt som demokraterna genomförde den ena välfärdsreformen efter den andra. Bakom sextiotalets uppror och politiska reformer låg stora och djupa förändringar av det amerikanska samhället. Den institutionella rasismen låg på slaktbänken, fackföreningsrörelsen hade expanderat kraftigt sedan trettiotalet och den ekonomiska jämlikheten var större än någonsin som en följd av statligt ingripande i ekonomin. Ekonomen och Nobelpristagaren Paul Krugman brukar tala om den stora komprimeringen för att beskriva utvecklingen i USA decennierna efter depressionen. Vad det handlade om var en kraftfull utjämning av de ekonomiska skillnaderna i landet. Vanliga löntagare och deras politiska representanter utmanade med andra ord den ekonomiska eliten och deras makt över det amerikanska samhället. Under några år framstod det faktiskt som om USA höll på att utvecklas till en modern välfärdsstat efter nordeuropeiskt snitt. Men sen kom Nixon. Han var högerns reaktion personifierad. På några få år vred han utvecklingen i en helt annan riktning. Den stora komprimeringen blev en parentes. Under slutet av sjuttiotalet började de ekonomiska skillnaderna åter att växa. De rika blev rikare, de fattiga blev fattigare. Nixon intalade mängder med amerikaner att USA var medelklassens förlovade land, ett småborgerligt paradis av skötsamma och strävsamma individer... Trots sin brist på utstrålning lyckades Nixon upprätta starka känslomässiga band till stora delar av den amerikanska väljarkåren. Framför allt lyckades han spalta upp det politiska landskapet efter nya stridslinjer. Han fick medelamerikanen att känna sig mer hotad av dom där nere än av dom där uppe. Det oroliga sextiotalet var självfallet ovanligt god jordmån för detta förvandlingsnummer. Allt verkade stå på spel: familjen, sexualiteten, religionen, patriarkatet, moralen you name it. Nixon spelade effektivt på många amerikaners oro för denna utveckling och på deras föreställningar om sig själva. Enligt Nixon var USA ett land av fria och hårt arbetande kärnfamiljer som nu pressades av feminister och allmän oordning, av arbetsmoralens förfall och av de svartas förmenta lättja. Hans fixering vid lag och ordning, hans förakt för avvikelser, hans dåligt kamouflerade rasism och hans allmänt rigida livshållning allt blev effektiv rekvisita i en nygammal berättelse om Amerika. Nixon intalade mängder med amerikaner att USA var medelklassens förlovade land, ett småborgerligt paradis av skötsamma och strävsamma individer, en närmast oändlig villaidyll som hotades av brottslingar, narkomaner och annat slödder. Men också av den nya kultureliten det vill säga studenterna, journalisterna och kulturarbetarna som enligt Nixon ingått en ohelig allians med samhällets alla orosmakare. Mot kultureliten och den farliga underklassen ställde han den tysta majoriteten, det vill säga det riktiga folket som knöt näven i fickan och drömde sig tillbaka till det trygga och fina femtiotalet. Känns det igen? Inte så konstigt. Nixon var en av den första, ja, kanske till och med den första moderna politiker som på allvar lyckades flytta fokus från frågor om ekonomi och rättvisa till frågor om värderingar, och han var först med att göra lag och ordning till den dominerande frågan i politiken. Under hans tid påbörjades en förflyttning av politikens kärnkonflikt som vi fortfarande lever med. Nixon var en pionjär. Han såg och utnyttjade spänningen mellan det liberala och det auktoritära långt före någon annan politiker, samtidigt som han strök den klassiska konflikten mellan arbete och kapital ur ekvationen. Han talade aldrig om den ekonomiska eliten, om de superrika. Nej, den ekonomiska makten lämnade han i fred. Hoten kom alltid nedifrån. Den förskjutning av politikens centrum som Nixon påbörjade har efter hand spritt sig över hela västvärlden. Moral- och värderingsfrågor samt lag och ordning har blivit favoritområden för västerländska politiker som inte vill störa den ekonomiska ordningen. Man kan, utan att överdriva, påstå att vi alla idag lever med Nixons spöke. Mattias Hagberg, författare

The podcasters who podcast, then live inside the podcast, cover approximately the first half of Part 17 in Episode 17 Part 1. J.R. Parker makes it clear why his father is the podcast’s most dedicated listener, offers in-depth analysis of Mr. C.’s mullet binder clip, and describes the convergence of the two Coopers in a way that makes it sound suspiciously similar to Ken Walczak’s and my apparent regression to one another’s mean. Jeff Fallis lets everyone know how much he enjoys a good data dump, but he evidently wasn’t told there would be no math, as he runs the numbers on Agent Cooper’s note and solves the vexing riddle of the texted coordinates. For his part, Ken discloses how the show goes full meta, expresses great faith in the ironclad nature of the Showtime nondisclosure agreement executed by the series’ subtitle typists, and is vindicated regarding the amniotic BOB globule. That just leaves me to wonder which one of these is not like the others, bemoan the absence of the Nixon Library from the story’s ultimate resolution, and contend that Part 17 needed more Nadine. We’re definitely going to talk about Judy, as well as theorize about David Lynch characters appearing nude in the wild, White Lodge online dating sites, and the significant women who become important buildings. In addition, our truly Lynchian conversation featuring slow pacing and questionable relevance takes us into such ancillary areas as “Battlestar Galactica”, “Death Note”, Dragon Ball Z, Blake Edwards, Mike Hammer, the Hulk, “La Strada”, Paul McCartney, “The Mod Squad”, the Mystery Mousekatool, Nine Inch Nails, “On the Air”, the Phantom Zone, Sarajevo, Sideshow Bob, and “Time Bandits”.
