You know Watergate, but do you know Fedgate? The more subtle scandal with more monetary policy and, arguably, much higher stakes.In today's episode, we listen back through the Nixon White House tapes to search for evidence of an alarming chapter in American economic history: When the President of the United States seemingly flouted the norms of Fed Independence in order to pressure the Chair of the Federal Reserve Board into decisions that were economically bad in the long run but good for Nixon's upcoming election.The tale of Nixon and his Fed Chair, Arthur Burns, has become the cautionary tale about why Fed Independence matters. That choice may have started a decade of catastrophic inflation. And Burns' story is now being invoked as President-elect Trump has explicitly said he'd like more control over the Federal Reserve.Help support Planet Money and hear our bonus episodes by subscribing to Planet Money+ in Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org/planetmoney.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
On 8 August 1974, Richard Nixon became the first US president in history to resign from office, following the Watergate scandal. This scandal began with a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in 1972, which was linked to Nixon's re-election campaign. The release of tapes from within the White House, dubbed the Nixon Tapes, revealed Nixon's involvement in the cover-up, leading to a loss of political support and impending impeachment proceedings. In 2014, Farhana Haider spoke to journalist Tom DeFrank, who watched the drama unfold minute by minute.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode, the hosts discuss the actions and inactions of Donald Trump during the January, 6 2021 attack on the Capitol and why letting it go unpunished is not a positive option. A FEW KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE Where we stand on the Trump's actions (or lack thereof) from the January 6th, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol. Leaders with fascist tendencies have a very good grasp on media and you cannot deny that Trump's skill with the media and communicating. People in authority cannot be excused from the consequences of their actions.

This episode is one of final thoughts on Richard Nixon. Our thoughts cover a number of areas. We start with the shameful treatment he received from the national news media and how they have actively worked to keep the public in the dark on the facts of Watergate. This was a problem both when it occurred and even today as an enormous amount of easily verifiable documentation has come to light that has exposed misconduct across the board by just about every entity involved in the Watergate story. We will look at the current status of the prosecutorial misconduct complaint that was received last year at the United States Justice Department and continue to encourage you to weigh in on the case so it is not swept under the rug. We also examine, as best we could, the one lingering question that we felt we never fully resolved from our 144 episode examination of this historic period of American History. Why did a man as revered as John Doar, Chief Counsel to the House Judiciary Committee, decide not to investigate on his own the material provided to him by the Watergate Special Prosecutor's Office? It appears to be an elusive question if you believe as I do that people do not suddenly become dishonest. There is no history of John Doar being anything other than an honorable man. So we asked six experts on Watergate, who either lived through it, or studied it extensively as historians: Bob Bostock, writer of much of the exhibits located at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, Dwight Chapin, President Richard Nixon's right hand man and appointments Secretary during most of his Presidency, Geoff Shepard, the author of three outstanding books on Watergate and widely recognized as the World's leading expert on it, and three historians Michael Koncewicz , of NYU and author of "They Said No to Nixon"Kevin Kruse, of Princeton University currently working on a biography of John Doar,Tim Naftali, the former Director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and a CNN Contributor.All six of them were gracious enough to either answer me directly or pointed me to material that would be of assistance.Then we move on to open ended mysteries, like the involvement of the intelligence agencies in the overall story of Watergate, and the exculpatory nature of the actual tapes that are now far more readily available to the public in places like Nixontapes.org run by historian Luke Nichter or his two outstanding books on the subject matter. ( The Nixon Tapes 1971 - 1972 and The Nixon Tapes 1973 http://lukenichter.com ) Finally we will look back on this greatest of World Leaders who so fundamentally changed the world we live in today. As we recount his many achievements including the most important one. An effort, that has probably touched the lives of everyone on Earth in one way or the other. For it was Richard Nixon, 37th President of the United States, that poured billions of dollars into Cancer Research that has changed the diagnosis of this deadly set of diseases from a death sentence into a chance for life. It is here at the end of this epic five season podcast documentary, that we make our final case that Richard Nixon belongs among the pantheon of our greatest leaders alongside George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

If you have never read the book "In the Arena" by President Richard Nixon let me assure you that it is a must read book. It was the most personal of his books and it is written farther down the road from his Presidency than his Memoirs were and therefore provides a lot more perspective on the events that ended his Presidency. Late into the process of putting this series together I was given the cassette audiobook of "In the Arena" and I went through to find the sections the President read personally on the Watergate Scandal. They are, I thought, the best defense available coming directly from the former President himself. So in this episode we let President Nixon address the many myths of Watergate, in person, in his own words, narrated personally. It is a fascinating tape to listen too for anyone who has studied Watergate. Also we read a section from the book "The Nixon Tapes" by the premier historians on the subject of Richard Nixon, as they lay out their thoughts on why a trial of Richard Nixon would certainly have never happened.

This is arguably the most important episode of the series and these events we will be revisiting through out the scandal of Watergate. Up to this week, Richard Nixon had never been dealt with completely by anyone who was intimately involved in the Watergate debacle now on the verge of consuming his Presidency. That includes his Counsel to the President, John Dean. It is in the events of this week that a storyline would later develop implicating the President of the United States in a criminal act, which was the payment of hush money to E. Howard Hunt. The problem as we will learn as we go along is there is a gaping hole in the timeline of events and everything that could be done, would be done, to obscure that fact from the public, the President, the Grand Jury and House Judiciary Committee. Here we will listen in on the taped conversations themselves as compiled by Historian Luke Nichter for his website Nixontapes.org. The article used was written 12 years ago and we read it verbatim and then play the tape for you. We would like to note that the tapes of conversations that are not on the phone are often hard to hear, especially President Nixon who was often sitting away from the microphone. We chose to follow the historians article script and play the corresponding tape so that everything is as clear as we can keep it for this podcasting format. We did not change any of his script. We begin at the March 13 dated conversation from http://nixontapes.org/passport.html In the script Mr. Nichter uses the word "Falsified Document" and we read it in as written. Our understanding is that word choice was due to the impression from the tapes that Dean was being asked to write something comprehensive at Camp David. The President planned to take the report he asked his White House Counsel to write and then call on another review or investigation as to what had occurred. The President does ask that the report be vague as to protect the staff who have already been named or testified. But he states that he would be waiving executive privilege later. It is important to remember that this is , after all, the first time Richard Nixon had had as full a picture of what had happened since the break in, some 9 months earlier, in June of 1972. John Dean while working on the report seems to have realized at Camp David there was no way he could be fully truthful, and that all roads would lead to him, as he says "I was all over this thing like a blanket" , John Dean seems to have seen this request as being asked to write a falsified report. But that doesn't at all mean the others were asking Dean to write something untruthful. The point being that whatever Dean would have written could not have been the whole truth, if for no other reason because it would have been damaging to Dean. In the end, and after about five days of trying, he was recalled by Haldeman without producing a report at all – and decided instead to retain criminal defense counsel, who sought out the career prosecutors, offering testimony against his colleagues in pursuit of personal immunity (which they declined due to his leadership role throughout the scandal) and that is what our next episode will be about.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022!!!In this episode we look back at 2021, a year of success here at "Bridging the Political Gap" and a year of sad farewells as we said good by to so many inspirational figures in our life from former Senator Bob Dole, to former Secretary of State George Shultz , to Former Senator John Warner, to the Mayor I served with through most of my time as a Myrtle Beach City Councilman, John Rhodes, and an Horry County pioneer who served as the first woman from Horry County to sit in the South Carolina Legislature and for whom I worked in her Horry County South Carolina Auditor's office in the late 1990's. Lois Eargle had been a constant presence in my life and an inspiration. We suffered three very personal losses this year as well. My colleague in Real Estate, Charles Hinson, whom I worked along side with for two decades and sadly had no footage I could share for a broadcast. My Mother Gloria Bulmer also passed away in March. There is literally nothing I ever achieved that was not a direct result of her influence in my life. She was business woman, a teacher, and my biggest fan and most ferocious defender. It is hard even today to imagine her not being here for advice and support. It was also the year that I sadly lost my loyal companion, my Dog Cooper, whose presence in our show continues to this day every time our closing theme ends. We also look forward in this episode to all the exciting shows planned for 2022 on the life and career of Richard Nixon with what is turning out to be the largest available resource of the secret Nixon tapes available outside Nixontapes.org or the National Archives itself. This coming year you will get to ease drop on history and listen as a great President does great things as he leads the nation and the world into an era of peace. Plus, in the next few weeks for those of you from South Carolina we have couple of special editions on the infamous Hurricane of 1989, known to the world as Hurricane Hugo. Most importantly, this is a special episode that gives us here at "Bridging the Political Gap" a chance to say thanks to all of you who have tuned in during our first year on the air. We appreciate you more than we can ever say, 33 countries, 360 cities, all 50 states, every continent, and over 2000 downloads. It has been more than I ever could have imagined and it speaks volumes about our world's yearning for real leadership to emerge. Thanks again for tuning in. Sincerely,Your Host, Randal Wallace
In this episode we talk about the contents of the historic tapes of the Nixon Administration. We address the negative parts that are so familiar to the public. Nixon's remarks about Women, Gays, Jews, African Americans, his rages, and his intemperate remarks, all caught on a voice activated tape recorder that caught his every word every time he entered a room. We will also discuss the quality of some of the tapes, or the lack there of, as we learn that many of these tapes are either inaudible and to various other degrees hard to understand. But we also go through those moments when we see a giant at work, a man steadily working for the good of the country, and most importantly, working to get us out of a war he inherited from the two previous administrations, and to free us from that war in a way that we maintain our place in the world and actually enhance it. This is the high point of the march of Communism in the world during the Cold War. It fell to two Presidents, Lyndon Johnson and then Richard Nixon, to stop it and hold our ground. The taping system is a window on the Administration of Richard Nixon in an unparalleled way. We will watch him masterfully maneuver the most complex set of problems ever faced by a United States President. In this special edition, we listen in, to the worst, and some of the best moments, and we hear from historians, and some of the people on the tapes, as they discuss the legacy of those tapes, and the legacy of a President who arguably saved our Union from disaster both abroad and here at home too.

The opening episode of Season 4 of Bridging the Political Gap is a particular thing of excitement for me. Richard Nixon is one of my political heroes and most responsible for my interest in public service. I have been a fan since I discovered a scrapbook saved by my Mother from a class she was student teaching in 1960. A full decade before I was born. I have long felt that no full length , in-depth, look at the life of Richard Nixon has ever been done that did not attempt to paint the life, career, an administration of Richard Nixon in a negative light. That has, thankfully, in recent years begun to change, with great books written by Conrad Black, Jonathan Atken, Evan Thomas, J.A. Farrell, and most recently several books by Historian Luke Nichter, especially his book "Richard Nixon and Europe: The Reshaping of the Post War Atlantic World" This Podcast Documentary, that begins with this episode, will I hope contribute to showing the remarkable life of Richard Nixon with the appreciation he deserves. This Podcast series will span two seasons worth of shows. This first season will cover his career through the end of the Vietnam War in January of 1973. We will then comeback in Season five to look at Watergate and the other events of his final year and 8 months in office, and then an epilogue of events that shows what happened after he left, to both the country, and to him. I cannot say thank you enough to several sources of information that have made this podcast documentary possible. They are: the national archives for several oral histories, the television networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, & CNN) for historic coverage and , most especially, the Richard Nixon Foundation and the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Birthplace, that have created many of the short features I used, and events where people talked about their time with, or their studies of, President and Mrs. Nixon. I would also like to say a special thank you to Historian Luke Nichter for his work with chronicling and making assessable the Nixon tapes through the site NixonTapes.org. We use them extensively, especially as we drew closer to the end of the Vietnam War. This I hope will be an opportunity to hear President Nixon guide us through the end game, out of Vietnam. Most people have never heard these tapes and I hope you will tune in to those episodes most especially. This show begins at the end, on the night that former President Richard Nixon passed away. We will look as the the world stopped to take a pause and reflect on his amazing life. Much to the chattering class and media elites amazement, Richard Nixon's passing led to an outpouring of grief from the heartland of America, the common people, the folks Richard Nixon had always represented and in whose interests he served. We then will take you through a two part tour of his amazing career from running for Congress, to the Senate, the Vice Presidency , his 1960 and 1962 losses, and then back to the 1968 election he won in our last documentary. ( see the shows we just completed in Season 3 on Lyndon Johnson and 1968) Then we will move on to Richard Nixon's Presidency and what many have called "The Age of Nixon"

Few have ever enjoyed the degree of foreign-policy influence and versatility that Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., the grand-son of Woodrow Wilson's senatorial antagonist, did. In the postwar era, perhaps only George Marshall, Henry Kissinger, and James Baker. Cabot Lodge, however, had the distinction of wielding that influence under presidents of both parties. For three decades, he was at the center of American foreign policy, serving as advisor to five presidents, from Dwight Eisenhower to Gerald Ford, and as ambassador to the United Nations, Vietnam, West Germany, and presidential envoy to the Vatican. Cabot Lodge's political influence was at times immense. He was the first person, in 1943, to see Eisenhower as a potential presidential material; he entered Eisenhower in the 1952 New Hampshire primary without the candidate's knowledge, crafted his political positions, and managed his campaign. As UN ambassador in the 1950s, Cabot Lodge was effectively at times a second secretary of state. In the 1960s, he was called twice, by John F. Kennedy and by Lyndon Johnson, to serve in the toughest position in the State Department's portfolio, as ambassador to South Vietnam. In the 1970s, he paved the way for permanent American ties with the Holy See. Over his career, beginning with his arrival in the U.S. Senate at age thirty-four in 1937, when there were just seventeen Republican senators, he did more than anyone else to transform the Republican Party from a regional, isolationist party into the nation's dominant force in foreign policy, a position it held from Eisenhower's time until the twenty-first century. In this book, The Last Brahmin: Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. and the Making of the Cold War (Yale University Press, 2020) historian Luke A. Nichter professor of history at Texas A & M University–Central Texas, coeditor (with Douglas Brinkley) of the New York Times bestselling book The Nixon Tapes: 1971–1972, gives us a outstanding narrative of Cabot Lodge's extraordinary and consequential life. Cabot Lodge was among the last of the well-heeled Eastern Establishment Republicans who put duty over partisanship and saw themselves as the hereditary captains of the American state. Unlike many who reach his position, Cabot Lodge took his secrets to the grave—including some that, revealed here for the first time, will force historians to rethink their understanding of America's involvement in the Vietnam War. Charles Coutinho Ph. D. of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history. He has written recently for Chatham House's International Affairs.

Over his career, beginning with his arrival in the U.S. Senate at age thirty-four in 1937, when there were just seventeen Republican senators, he did more than anyone else to transform the Republican Party from a regional, isolationist party into the nation’s dominant force in foreign policy, a position it held from Eisenhower’s time until the twenty-first century. In this book, The Last Brahmin: Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. and the Making of the Cold War (Yale University Press, 2020) historian Luke A. Nichter professor of history at Texas A & M University–Central Texas, coeditor (with Douglas Brinkley) of the New York Times bestselling book The Nixon Tapes: 1971–1972, gives us a outstanding narrative of Cabot Lodge’s extraordinary and consequential life. Cabot Lodge was among the last of the well-heeled Eastern Establishment Republicans who put duty over partisanship and saw themselves as the hereditary captains of the American state. Unlike many who reach his position, Cabot Lodge took his secrets to the grave—including some that, revealed here for the first time, will force historians to rethink their understanding of America’s involvement in the Vietnam War. Charles Coutinho Ph. D. of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history. He has written recently for Chatham House’s International Affairs.

Few have ever enjoyed the degree of foreign-policy influence and versatility that Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., the grand-son of Woodrow Wilson’s senatorial antagonist, did. In the postwar era, perhaps only George Marshall, Henry Kissinger, and James Baker. Cabot Lodge, however, had the distinction of wielding that influence under presidents of both parties. For three decades, he was at the center of American foreign policy, serving as advisor to five presidents, from Dwight Eisenhower to Gerald Ford, and as ambassador to the United Nations, Vietnam, West Germany, and presidential envoy to the Vatican. Cabot Lodge’s political influence was at times immense. He was the first person, in 1943, to see Eisenhower as a potential presidential material; he entered Eisenhower in the 1952 New Hampshire primary without the candidate’s knowledge, crafted his political positions, and managed his campaign. As UN ambassador in the 1950s, Cabot Lodge was effectively at times a second secretary of state. In the 1960s, he was called twice, by John F. Kennedy and by Lyndon Johnson, to serve in the toughest position in the State Department’s portfolio, as ambassador to South Vietnam. In the 1970s, he paved the way for permanent American ties with the Holy See. Over his career, beginning with his arrival in the U.S. Senate at age thirty-four in 1937, when there were just seventeen Republican senators, he did more than anyone else to transform the Republican Party from a regional, isolationist party into the nation’s dominant force in foreign policy, a position it held from Eisenhower’s time until the twenty-first century.

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.

Here is the solution to one of the great political mysteries of the past 50 years, and an explosive confession by the late President Richard M. Nixon. Thanks to advances in technology, audio experts have at last reconstructed the contents of the so-called "18.5-minute gap," a period of silence on tapes made by President Nixon. Other parts of the tapes had incriminating evidence connecting Nixon to the Watergate break-in, but the contents of the gap have remained unknown -- until now. Featuring Anthony Newfield and Paul VanDeCarr.

For journalists, for historians, and for political junkies, Richard Nixon is the gift that keeps on giving. There are over 3700 hours of Nixon tapes and only a portion have been released and deconstructed. Even as we mark this 40th anniversary of Nixon's resignation, most of us have only heard a few minutes here or there. For Luke Nichter, a Professor at A & M University, and one of the preeminent experts on the Nixon tapes, it paints a picture of a cunning and controlling President, and sometimes a country astride the world. But mostly it captures the White House, America and the world, in a particular place and time that bears very little resemblance to the world today.The latest collection of Nixon tapes, assembled by Luke Nichter and Douglas Brinkley, is The Nixon Tapes: 1971-1972..My conversation with Luke Nichter:
