Michael Koncewicz is a political historian who is the Michael Nash Research Scholar at the Tamiment Library & Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives at New York University, one of the more renowned archives that focus on the history of labor and the left. He previously worked for the National Archives at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum, contributing to the museum's nonpartisan Watergate exhibit. Koncewicz's first book, They Said ‘No' to Nixon: Republicans Who Stood Up to the President's Abuses of Power, was published in 2018. Culling from previously unpublished excerpts from the tapes and recently released materials that expose the thirty-seventh president's uncensored views, the book reveals how Republican party members remained loyal civil servants in the face of Nixon's attempts to expand the imperial presidency. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/out-of-the-blank-podcast/support

Oliver Stone’s 1995 film Nixon, starring Anthony Hopkins as the haunted, duplicitous 37th U.S. president, marked both a turning point in the filmmaker’s career and a significant shift in public opinion about Richard Nixon. Historian and writer Michael Koncewicz, author of They Said No to Nixon: Republicans Who Stood Up to the President’s Abuses of Power , joins us for a detailed discussion of the film’s complex engagement with the actual history of the Nixon administration. As we consider Nixon alongside Stone’s numerous other historical films (many of which ruminate on the 1960s), we explore a filmography marked by a sometimes exhilarating, often frustrating mix of wild aesthetic experimentation, paranoid conspiracy mongering, and conventional liberal sentimentalism.

Is it possible for a president’s political appointees to rein in a president with a penchant for abusing power? Yes. Michael Koncewicz, who listened to hundreds of hours of the Nixon tapes, digs deep into the Richard Nixon presidency and shows exactly how Republicans put loyalty to the Constitution over loyalty to one man. In They Said No to Nixon: Republicans Who Stood Up to the President’s Abuses of Power (University of California Press, 2018) readers will learn how Nixon was unable to use the I.R.S as a weapon against those on his “enemies list,” and how Nixon was thwarted from cutting federal fund to M.I.T. to punish faculty for anti-war protests. And readers will understand how Elliot Richardson was getting under Nixon’s skin well before the Saturday Night Massacre. “They Said No Nixon,” documents both how dangerous the Nixon presidency was to the fabric of democracy, and how the Republican Party’s moderate wing was essential to curtailing grievous abuses of presidential power. Bill Scher is a Contributing Editor for POLITICO Magazine. He has provided political commentary on CNN, NPR and MSNBC. He has been published in The New York Times, The New Republic, and The New York Daily News among other publications. He is author of Wait! Don’t Move to Canada, published by Rodale in 2006.
