Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Nixon

Welcome to season 11 of our podcast, the first of three seasons that will examine the life, career, and single term of President George H. W. Bush.  His life and political career are full of life lessons and leadership lessons we could all take to heart to help build better everyday lives and help the nation develop the type of leadership in our elected class that we could all be proud to have in charge of our Government. In my opinion, George H.W. Bush was the best President of my adult lifetime and clearly an argument could be made that he was the best one term President in our national history. Only James K. Polk could make an argument to challenge it. In this first episode we look back at the life of the 41st President, as we start at the end of his life with coverage of his passing on November 30, 2018. We will examine his many accomplishments from several people who served under him, from James Baker, the former Chief of Staff, to several different cabinet and staff members plus members of the media who dealt with him during his term. They will all talk about his many accomplishments, his qualities of leadership, his stressing of the importance of family, and his thoughtful statesmanship as the Communist World collapsed around him and he would have to fight a war in the Middle East, a war that has become the textbook example of how to fight a war and win it. We will also look back at his war record from World War 2 , as the youngest fighter pilot in the Navy.  You will listen in to his oral history as he tells the story of the shooting down of his plane, that killed the other two men in his plane,  and landed him in the Pacific Ocean. It is a harrowing tale that will dispel the mythology that this extremely nice man was , as Newsweek once called him , "a wimp."  When you listen to this story you will come away knowing he was anything but that description,  and his bravery, strength, and lifelong wisdom helped manage the closing days of the Cold War that would end with out firing a shot. Something that had never happened in the history of the civilized world :  the fall of a great world power without a catastrophic war to bring it about.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

SEASON 2 EPISODE 40: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has descended into full-fledged panic over the Possible Gag Order and either he is exaggerating for effect – what a shock – or, more likely, his lawyers, preparing an answer to Jack Smith's request to Judge Chutkan that is due Monday, told him SOMETHING that set his hair on fire and you know the dangers of combustion when spray paint is mixed with open flames. And that imagery is more than a joke about his bottle blondness. It is a forecast of things to come. We are headed to a legal crisis over Trump's social media posts and his refusal to accede to the rule of law and I don't know where this ends but at the far end of political science fiction, where it ends is a shootout between United States Marshals and United States Secret Service. His bail – his NOT being held in a jail cell in the District of Columbia until trial starts – is dependent on him NOT defying the law. As I said last week, at some point, whatever limitations Chutkan imposes upon him, WHEN he violates them, whether it's the first time or the fiftieth – he is NOT going to surrender. He is not going to let them put him in prison. They are going to have to go and get him. And what happens THEN? It seems madness to risk the lives of Marshals or Secret Service to protect this semi-sentient pile of feces. But, what? You're going to have the Secret Service agents protecting him turn around an arrest him? Biden is going to order the head of the Secret Service to order his men to stand down when the Marshals arrive? Trump is going to see the photo-shoot-value in an actual perp walk? I'm not counting on the last one. Rolling Stone now reports that as you'd expect, the I-don't-think-about-jail crap he gave to the gullible Kristen Welker in last Sunday's stenography class is nonsense. Quoting: “In the past several months, Donald Trump has had a burning question for some of his confidants and attorneys: Would the authorities make him wear, quote, “one of those jumpsuits” in prison?... Three sources familiar with his comments say he's been aking lawyers and other people close to him what a prison sentence would look like for a former American president. Would he be sent to a ‘club fed' style prison… or a bad prison? Would he serve out a sentence in a plush home confinement?... those who've heard him ask these questions about a hypothetical sentencing tell Rolling Stone that it's clear the gravity of his mounting legal peril is GETTING to Trump." As an aside, I understand Jann Wenner is asking the same questions. Also: Cassidy Hutchinson's book includes a sexual assault accusation against Rudy Giuliani. It's the worst sexual misconduct accusation against him in nearly four months. Also Lin Wood flips on the entire Trump crowd. And a tweet from Junior Trump announces his father had died. He was hacked. We think. B-Block (18:45) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: JD Vance sets some kind of record by averaging more than one lie per sentence in a tweet about an "American journalist held hostage by Ukraine" who is none of the above. Congresswoman Victoria Spartz asks Merrick Garland a question and if he's still thinking about the hearing he's probably asking 'what the hell did she SAY?' And James O'Keefe's obsession with becoming a musical star has now led to the closure of Project (In Vino) Veritas. But who will think of the cast of O'Keefe-Homa!? C-Block (25:39) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: If Rudy is back in the news then the question: "what happened to Rudy?" is also back in the news and I'll give you the answer: whatever it is, it happened in 1995 or earlier.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the midst of the Cold War, the 1973 coup against the socialist Chilean president Salvador Allende, led by General Pinochet with the support of Richard Nixon, remains a seismic episode in Latin American history. A story imbued in American Imperialism, Allende sees off waves of attempts by the U.S. to oust and undermine him, until they exhaust all legal and parliamentary means, and seek new ways to derail Chilean socialism. In today's episode, Tom and Dominic delve into Salvador Allende's rise to power, his radical new vision for Chile, and why and how the U.S. sought to undermine him…  *The Rest Is History Live Tour 2023*: Tom and Dominic are back on tour this autumn!

Roger Stone, a partisan Republican, and Gene Valentino compare the political past to the political future. Roger Stone predicts Trump will be the nominee.  He compares his firsthand relationship with Richard Nixon to his current relationship with Donald Trump.  He says Trump will be the beneficiary of a more open/honest election through effective oversight. How much of Trump's past experience in government will reflect the way he leads in the future?  Roger Stone capsulizes the inside truth about the John Durham report that there was an illegal use of the FISA warrants to spy of Donald Trump and staff. Roger describes that there were wire taps on his phone as well as Paul Manafort, and Carter Page, claiming they had ‘Russian collusion' communications.  He reflects on John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign against Richard Nixon.  “Had Nixon had the internet to launch counter offenses against Kennedy, he would have survived against Kennedy,” says Roger Stone.  Stone was also accused of Wikileaks communications with Julian Assange, which was not the case.  Evidence shows no such communication existed. Not only Donald Trump, but Roger Stone as well have questioned anomalies in the last 2020 election. Roger talks about the unsubstantiated accusations against Trump that led to the Trump indictments. Roger compares the Biden Crime Family antics, and those of the Democrat Party, to historical patterns that go back to the Kennedy/Johnson Administrations. Go to MarcoPoloUSA.org. Roger says that there you'll find the actual posted contents of Hunter Biden's laptop. Trump considers himself the sole reason Ron DeSantis became Governor.  Trump's support of DeSantis reinvigorated the doomed candidacy of DeSantis. For this reason, Roger says there's no chance Trump would entertain a Trump/DeSantis ticket. Roger wants DeSantis to focus on Florida's malaria epidemic and insurance crisis. On Biden's term of office, Roger thinks it's possible Biden will stay in office long enough to pardon himself and the others in the Biden Crime Family whether he's the Democratic nominee or not.  He believes Biden will enact the War Powers Act in order to avoid the next presidential election entirely, in order to postpone the next election indefinitely.  He says Trump will prevail across the board on all of these charges. He outlines Biden Administration's violation of a treaty we signed with Russia, all because Joe Biden felt the need to step up and protect Ukraine. “Under Trump we saw that Russia would not invade Ukraine.  Putin was scared of Trump.  We are vaulting dangerously toward WW3 under Biden's Administration.  When Trump prays, he prays for America, not himself,” Stone says.Originally Recorded on Wednesday, September 13, 2023 at 10:30am CSTSeason 2, Episode 17Learn More at: GeneValentino.comImage(s) Courtesy of: Gene Valentino Join the Conversation: https://GeneValentino.com WMXI Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/NewsRadio981 More WMXI Interviews: https://genevalentino.com/wmxi-interviews/ More GrassRoots TruthCast Episodes: https://genevalentino.com/grassroots-truthcast-with-gene-valentino/ More About Gene Valentino: https://genevalentino.com/about-gene-valentino/

Samuel Freedman is a Professor at Columbia University and the award-winning author of ten books. In Into the Bright Sunshine he looks at the life of Hubert Humphrey, who would become Senator from Minnesota, Vice President to Lyndon Johnson, and the Democratic presidential nominee in 1968, who lost his bid for the presidency to Richard Nixon by less than one percentage point.But it's Humphrey's early years that Samuel Freedman covers in his book, chronicling Humphrey's humble beginnings in smalltown South Dakota and his move to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Humphrey launched an activist political career that helped to change the trajectory of civil rights in America. 

For the 50th anniversary of the Watergate break-in: The untold story of President Richard Nixon, CIA Director Richard Helms, and their volatile shared secrets that ended a presidency.Scorpions' Dance by intelligence expert and investigative journalist Jefferson Morley reveals the Watergate scandal in a completely new light: as the culmination of a concealed, deadly power struggle between President Richard Nixon and CIA Director Richard Helms.Nixon and Helms went back decades; both were 1950s Cold Warriors, and both knew secrets about the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba as well as off-the-books American government and CIA plots to remove Fidel Castro and other leaders in Latin America. Both had enough information on each other to ruin their careers.After the Watergate burglary on June 17, 1972, Nixon was desperate to shut down the FBI's investigation. He sought Helms' support and asked that the CIA intervene—knowing that most of the Watergate burglars were retired CIA agents, contractors, or long-term assets with deep knowledge of the Agency's most sensitive secrets. The two now circled each other like scorpions, defending themselves with the threat of lethal attack. The loser would resign his office in disgrace; the winner, however, would face consequences for the secrets he had kept.Rigorously researched and dramatically told, Scorpions' Dance uses long-neglected evidence to reveal a new perspective on one of America's most notorious presidential scandals.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement

Con ocasión de los 50 años del golpe de Estado contra Allende en Chile este lunes, RFI entrevistó a Peter Kornbluh, autor de 'Pinochet desclasificado: Los archivos secretos de Estados Unidos sobre Chile'. Le preguntamos sobre el papel que desempeño Estados Unidos en los eventos que dieron inicio a casi dos décadas de dictadura militar.  La administración Biden publicó documentos secretos sobre el golpe de Estado en Chile. Se trata de los informes diarios que recibió el entonces presidente Richard Nixon del 8 al 11 de septiembre de 1973.Peter Kornbluh, director del Proyecto de Documentación de Chile del Archivo Nacional de Seguridad en Washington, estima que "no hay revelaciónes ni informaciones importantes en esos documentos, pero han salido muchos otros documentos en estos años, incluyendo los documentos operacionales de la CIA y otros que son de la Casa Blanca".Para este investigador, lo más importante en esos documentos es una llamada telefóbica entre el presidente Nixon y su asesor de Seguridad Nacional, Henry Kissinger, en los días posteriores al golpe. "Nixon dice a Kissinger que, sobre el rol de los Estados Unidos, 'no se pueden ver nuestras manos'. Y Kissinger responde: 'Bueno, no lo hicimos nosotros'. Se refería al hecho de que los agentes de los Estados Unidos no estaban ahí al lado de los militares el 11 de septiembre, ayudándoles en el golpe de Estado. Y sigue Kissinger. 'Quiero decirle que los ayudamos. Estados Unidos creó las mejores condiciones posibles para fomentar el caos, desestabilizar la economía, crear problemas grandes contra Allende y su gobierno", sostiene Peter Kornbluh.Algunos parlamentarios socialistas chilenos hicieron un pedido mediante la embajada de Estados Unidos para que se desclasifiquen miles de documentos que van de 1970 a 1994, pues según ellos hay ciertos puntos que deben esclarecerse."Hay documentos sobre el caso Orlando Letelier y Ronni Moffitt (su colaboradora) que fueron asesinados en las calles de Washington D.C. por agentes de la DINA.  Esto es un acto de terrorismo internacional que fue ordenado por Pinochet. Mis fuentes me han dicho que hay un borrador de un juicio contra él para juzgarlo. Toda la evidencia se encuentra en un lugar. Obviamente esto puede ser relevante inmediatamente, pues en Chile hay un debate sobre el carácter de Augusto Pinochet, sobre su rol, etc. Obviamente Pinochet fue el violador más grande de los derechos humanos y los Estados Unidos tienen documentos que demuestran que era muy corrupto".

In this preview we look at the life of our 41st President , George H.W. Bush and the leadership he brought to ending the Cold War. It was an extraordinary career and he was largely seen as one of the most qualified of all of our chief executives.  Here we look back on all the great examples he set in the leadership lessons of his time in office. This will be the first of three seasons that look at his single term in in office as he deals with the most far ranging number of foreign crisis that has faced any U.S. President, and how he managed them all successfully, from the text book example of how to fight a war with a clear mission, with clear objectives and a unified coalition of nations, to managing the fall of the other military and economic super power on the other side of the world without firing a single shot. It is the high point of a generation of leadership that saw the United States ascend to the status of the singular Super Power on Earth in the 20th century,  The American Century. Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

In this special edition of our podcast , we pay tribute to one of the true giants of the post World War 2 era, former Vice President and Former United States Senator , Hubert Horatio Humphrey.  He was the happy warrior and in some ways the fundamental decency of this man is probably what kept him away from the Presidency in an era of politics notorious for being shark infested waters,For it was Hubert Humphrey that watched his Presidential dreams get dashed in 1960 when John F. Kennedy's father  allegedly paid to insure the West Virginia Primary was won by his son, and again as the Vietnam War waged in 1968 he saw his campaign lose a close one to Former Vice President Richard Nixon.  Those losses often obscured Hubert Humphrey's major and often forgotten role as the father of Civil Rights in this country. For it was Hubert Humphrey that took to the podium at the Democratic National Convention and argued for the party to champion the cause of civil rights. It was his speech that led Strom Thurmond and many other Southern Democrats to walk out of the 1948 Democratic Convention and challenge Harry Truman for the Presidency. Truman had just integrated the United States Armed Forces and became the lightening rod against Civil Rights for doing so. It was Hubert Humphrey that was also an early champion for a program that would one day become Medicare, and an early champion of healthcare reform as well. Humphrey was a giant of his era and in this episode we hope to give him his long deserved recognition. But we also hope we can touch on the decency and goodness of this great man. For while our nation was extremely lucky to have elected one of its four greatest Presidents in 1968 in Richard Nixon,  it is not without some wonder at what might have been, had Hubert Humphrey ever gotten a bite at the Presidential apple himself at some point. Such was the choice between two of the greatest leaders our nation ever produced in 1968, that our nation had to pick just one of them to be our President.  It does make you long for that era again, when our national leadership produced such great men as Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey to have to choose between. So we hope you enjoy this special edition in honor of a great man, Hubert Horatio Humphrey.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

The United States and China have a complicated history dating back to 1949. But, relations shifted when President Richard Nixon visited China for the first time in 1972. A year later, the Philadelphia Orchestra toured China and was the first American orchestra to do so. The trip was more than just about music, it was diplomacy. Jennifer Lin is the author and filmmaker of “Beethoven in Beijing”. She details what happened on the tour and what it means for U.S. and Chinese relations 50 years later.

Roger Stone is a Republican strategist, consultant and author. He is most often described as a self-confessed political dirty trickster and longtime Trump adviser, given to flamboyance in tailoring and swinging as well as campaign stunts. Now 70, Stone started out as a student volunteer on Richard Nixon's re-election campaign in 1972, “Pulling… penny-ante tricks” against Democrats or, in the Nixonian vernacular, “ratf**king” the president's opponents. Before Nixon's downfall in 1974, amid the Watergate scandal, Stone worked for the Committee to Re-elect the President, or 'CREEP'. After Nixon, Stone, who has a tattoo of the 37th president on his back, worked with Paul Manafort and Charles Black to build a Washington lobbying firm that flourished in the 1980s, often representing clients other firms might have found unsavoury.   Find out more about Roger at: Website: https://rogerstone.substack.com/p/welcome-to-stone-cold-truth Twitter: https://twitter.com/Rogerjstonejr YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RogerStoneJr/   Check out our YouTube Channel: Jeremyryanslatebiz See the Show Notes: https://www.jeremyryanslate.com/1122 You may watch the FULL Video Episode also via my Rumble channel: https://rumble.com/c/JeremyRyanSlate

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! On the show today we discuss the rare example of someone roundly despised by both ends of the political spectrum. Henry Kissinger was born in Germany in 1923, and is a prominent figure in the realm of international diplomacy and American politics. Henry Kissinger's early years were marked by adversity. Fleeing Nazi persecution, his family emigrated to the United States in 1938, where they settled in New York City. Despite facing the challenges of adapting to a new culture and language, Kissinger excelled academically. He attended Harvard University, where he pursued a Bachelor's degree in political science and later a Ph.D. in government. His academic prowess foreshadowed the intellectual depth that would become a hallmark of his diplomatic career. In the early 1950s, Kissinger joined the faculty at Harvard and began crafting his influential theories on foreign policy and international relations. His 1957 book, "Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy," established him as a leading authority in the field. His ideas on nuclear strategy and the balance of power would shape American foreign policy for decades. Kissinger's entrance into the world of practical diplomacy came in 1969 when he was appointed National Security Advisor by President Richard Nixon. His role in negotiating the end of the Vietnam War and his secret diplomacy with China during the Cold War made him a prominent figure on the global stage. In 1973, he became the U.S. Secretary of State, where he played a pivotal role in the Middle East peace process and the détente with the Soviet Union. His realpolitik approach, characterized by a focus on national interest and pragmatic diplomacy, earned both praise and criticism. Henry Kissinger's contributions to international relations earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973, recognizing his role in negotiating a ceasefire during the Vietnam War. However, his tenure was also marked by controversy, particularly regarding U.S. involvement in covert actions in Latin America and Southeast Asia. After leaving government, Kissinger continued to influence global affairs through his writings, speaking engagements, and advisory roles. His legacy remains a subject of debate, with some lauding his diplomatic achievements and others critiquing the ethical dilemmas associated with his policies. Throughout his life, Henry Kissinger's dedication to the study and practice of international diplomacy has left an indelible mark on the world stage, making him one of the most influential figures in American foreign policy in the 20th century.

Bob Woodward has been writing about the White House for more than fifty years, going toe to toe with nearly every President after Richard Nixon. Woodward is every inch the reporter, not one to editorialize. But, during his interviews with Donald Trump at the time of the COVID-19 crisis, Woodward found himself shouting at the President—explaining how to make a decision, and trying to browbeat him into listening to public-health experts. Woodward has released audio recordings of some of their interviews in a new audiobook called “The Trump Tapes,” which documents details of Trump's state of mind, and also of Woodward's process and craft. Despite having written critically of Trump in 2018, Woodward found his access unprecedented. “I could call him anytime, [and] he would call me,” Woodward tells David Remnick. His wife, Elsa Walsh, “used to joke [that] there's three of us in the marriage.”

When Richard Nixon battled for the presidency in 1968, he did so with the knowledge that, should he win, he would face the looming question of how to extract the United States from its disastrous war in Vietnam. It was on a beach that summer that Nixon disclosed to his chief aide, H. R. Haldeman, one of his most notorious, risky gambits: the madman theory. In On Nixon's Madness: An Emotional History (Johns Hopkins UP, 2023), Zachary Jonathan Jacobson examines the enigmatic president through this theory of Nixon's own invention. With strategic force and nuclear bluffing, Nixon attempted to coerce his foreign adversaries through sheer unpredictability. As his national security advisor Henry Kissinger noted, Nixon's strategy resembled a poker game in which he “push[ed] so many chips into the pot” that the United States' foes would think the president had gone “crazy.” From Vietnam, Pakistan, and India to the greater Middle East, Nixon applied this madman theory. Foreign relations were not a steady march toward peaceful coexistence but rather an ongoing test of mettle. Nixon saw the Cold War as he saw his life, as a series of ordeals that demanded great risk and grand gestures. For decades, journalists, critics, and scholars have searched for the real Nixon behind these acts. Was he a Red-baiter, a worldly statesman, a war criminal or, in the end, a punchline? Jacobson combines biography and intellectual and cultural history to understand the emotional life of Richard Nixon, exploring how the former president struggled between great effusions of feeling and great inhibition, how he winced at the notion of his reputation for rage, and how he used that ill repute to his advantage. Andrew O. Pace is a historian of moral dilemmas of US foreign relations and an adjunct professor of history at Salt Lake Community College. He is a co-host of the Diplomatic History Channel on the New Books Network and is currently working on a book about the reversal in US foreign policy from victory at all costs in World War II to peace at any price in the Vietnam War.

Foreign relations were not a steady march toward peaceful coexistence but rather an ongoing test of mettle. Nixon saw the Cold War as he saw his life, as a series of ordeals that demanded great risk and grand gestures. For decades, journalists, critics, and scholars have searched for the real Nixon behind these acts. Was he a Red-baiter, a worldly statesman, a war criminal or, in the end, a punchline? Jacobson combines biography and intellectual and cultural history to understand the emotional life of Richard Nixon, exploring how the former president struggled between great effusions of feeling and great inhibition, how he winced at the notion of his reputation for rage, and how he used that ill repute to his advantage.

When Richard Nixon battled for the presidency in 1968, he did so with the knowledge that, should he win, he would face the looming question of how to extract the United States from its disastrous war in Vietnam. It was on a beach that summer that Nixon disclosed to his chief aide, H. R. Haldeman, one of his most notorious, risky gambits: the madman theory. In On Nixon's Madness: An Emotional History (Johns Hopkins UP, 2023), Zachary Jonathan Jacobson examines the enigmatic president through this theory of Nixon's own invention.

The first president for whom I ever voted left office in disgrace. Richard Nixon's role in Watergate was a front page, top-of-the-fold, lead-story-on-the-nightly-news, week-in, week out-for-months-on-end scandal.

[00:30] The Tide Is Turning (13 minutes) The tide of support for Donald Trump is rising even as his enemies try to destroy him. Many Americans are getting angry about the constant lies from the media and political establishment. While Joe Biden and other millionaire politicians insist that “Bidenomics is working,” 61 percent of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and Hawaii victims who lost their homes in the recent fires have received a measly $700 each in federal support. [13:00] Tucker Carlson Exposed Nixon Conspiracy (27 minutes) Richard Nixon was the most popular president in American history before the Watergate scandal. In January, Tucker Carlson did a segment on his Fox News show explaining the truth about Watergate. The lawless Democrat plot to prevent Donald Trump from regaining the presidency echoes what happened to Nixon. [40:30] Trump and Tucker End Cable News (15 minutes) Fox News's viewership is declining while Tucker Carlson's Twitter interview with Trump gains record views. A new biography about Carlson explains why he is such an independent thinker and is impervious to attacks from the left.

On this episode of Our American Stories, this is the story of Chuck Colson's Watergate fallout—told by Chuck himself, who served as Special Counsel to President Richard Nixon. This was the last interview Chuck Colson granted before passing at 80 years of age in 2012.  Support the show (https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Live from the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber— Your Soldier of Truth—the Tip of the Spear against socialists—here ready to fight for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—AND—REMEMBER TO THINK while its still legal—this is the Steve Gruber Show—   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— Florida is prepping for a Hurricane strike on the Gulf Coast side—and it looks like the storm—Idalia will be getting stronger before making landfall sometime midday on Wednesday—   Number Two— 99% of so-called Covid deaths are not caused primarily by the virus—in fact the number is tiny—and that is according to the CDC—BUT the push for vaccines and more is ramping up all over again—   Number Three— I am the problem—at least according to liberal and progressive doctrine—its me—I am to blame for the problems of America—and frankly all the problems the world has ever known can be laid directly at my feet so say the enlightened ones—   Its not because I make too much money or not enough—its not because I take government handouts—not because I am addicted to drugs or have any violent tendencies—its not because I smoke—or anything else—it has only to do with just one thing—   I'm white—and therefore according to Joe Biden and all the other far-left socialists running around in Washington—it is me—and anyone that looks like me that is to blame for everything that has ever gone wrong—and unless my kind are kept in check it will be the end of freedom, Democracy and of course America—   None of that is true of course—BUT that is the next big talking point and we have heard this before lots of times—BUT that doesn't make it anymore true than it was back then—   It is also a clear indication that the left keeps seeing polling numbers for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris—and realize they are in very serious political peril—in fact one might say it looks like the ship is sinking—right along side the feeble presidents failing poll numbers—   So, how desperate are the Democrats—well a shooting in Jacksonville has become just about the only thing they are talking about—they are shrill and screaming about white supremacy and how it is the biggest threat to the nation—and that its far more pervasive and prevalent than anyone actually realizes—   Of course that is all false as well—   Its been over 160 years since Democrats got together to create the Ku Klux Klan—and more than 100 years since the Klan reached its heyday during the administration of President Woodrow Wilson—a Democrat and one of the most openly racist Presidents of all time—in fact he ranks right up there with the openly racist Lyndon Baines Johnson—But it was Wilson that screened the racist film Birth of a Nation in The White House itself—   But make no mistake Democrats don't care much about factual historical accounts of what their party really is—and ALWAYS has been—   They don't want to talk about Democrat Governor George Wallace—another outspoken racist—who ran for President on the idea of segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever to keep blacks and whites in America separate—and keep the black population in its place—   Of course—the Democrats now claim—falsely of course that at some point the parties switched—does that mean that Ronald Reagan was a Democrat as President? Richard Nixon too? Was JFK actually a Republican? Of course, that premise is ludicrous—because it has always been Republicans that have led the charge to fight for equal rights for blacks and all Americans in this nation—and everyone should know that by now—I mean the party was created to end slavery—which part did you miss in class on that one lefties?   How about a refresher—Democrats wanted to keep black people enslaved so badly they caused a Civil War that cost 600,000 Americans their lives—the north fought to end the practice—and save the country—   President Dwight D Eisenhower was the man that sent the National Guard to Little Rock to enforce the federal law of allowing black students into previously all white schools and Eisenhower was the President who signed the FIRST major Civil Rights bill into law in 1957—and he did so with the backing of Republican Senators in large part NOT Democrats—BUT history doesn't matter and neither do facts in 2023 Democrat politics—   But facts matter to me— How about some more facts—that are more recent—   How about the fact that Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican by all accounts—and LBJ used language to describe black voters that I cannot repeat here—as his impetus for signing the Civil Rights Act of 1965—it was not to help out blacks but to help Democrats get and keep power—   And of course Joe Biden is the man that attended the funeral of the former Grand Cyclops of the Klan—Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia—and praised him— he was flanked by the likes of Hillary and Bill Clinton in that praise—   And yes Republicans have had their share of racists too—BUT to hear the Democrats tell the story now—they are as pure as the driven snow—while their GOP counterparts are simply evil and a threat to the nation—   That whole theme was dragged out into the open again on Monday—and Joe Biden—who counted many segregationists among his close friends in Washington—worked to gaslight the world again—However, I can read—and I know who he is—I know that 2 million members of the Klan resided in Indiana in 1920—and they were almost all Democrats—AGAIN—facts that are easy to verify—and another reason I keep World Book Encyclopedias from years gone by—those facts cannot be erased by the Newspeak overlords of today—   BUT Joe just blurts out what he is told to say—   Sadly its not just politicians that are wrapped up in these lies—there are many members of the media that apparently have never read World Book Encyclopedia—or any actual books about American History—in fact they cannot even get recent history right—they just regurgitate the same old trite and false allegations about conservatives and Republicans—   It is truly sad when so much ignorance gets so much exposure in the media—no wonder millions of people in this country are just so ill-informed—   Like Ronald Reagan said—the problem with my liberal friends is that they know so much that just isn't true—   And this all leads to some very problematic numbers and that is why Democrats everywhere are panicked and throwing the race card everywhere—   I mean, lets be honest like we always are here—the Democrats have no policies that actually benefit black Americans or Americans in general—the spending is out of control creating a nightmare scenario in the economy—and mocking people for not understanding that Bidenomics is actually good for everyone is a BIG FAT LOSER too—   The border—the billions to Ukraine while Hawaii is pushed to the back burner to be forgotten again—it really is appalling and that is why—there is a shift in this nation—away from the losing policies and back to a common sense approach—and why people are willing to vote for people they don't like to get the policies they do—   Its time to put America First—and we do that by rejecting the empty identity politics and the politics of race—    

This episode originally aired on June 21, 2022. If there's anyone who knows what it's like to be invited into “the kingdom of knowing,” to borrow a phrase from journalist Richard Ben Cramer, it's podcast guest Barbara Feinman Todd, who graduated from The Washington Post Style desk to work as a researcher, book doctor, editor and spirit guide on books with Bob Woodward (Veil) and Carl Bernstein (Loyalties), and Ben Bradlee (A Good Life), leaving her uniquely positioned to reflect on the mind and mindsets of the three journalists who were perhaps most responsible for uncovering the Watergate scandal that ultimately led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Indeed, as Barbara writes in her compelling memoir Pretend I'm Not Here, there are a hundred different ways to know and to be known, as she would go on to discover for herself in her work as a ghostwriter for such leading Washington personalities as Bob Kerry, then a U.S. senator from Nebraska (When I Was a Young Man); Marjorie Margolies-Mazvinsky, then a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania (A Woman's Place); and, ultimately, Hillary Clinton. In what she had thought might be her most attention-getting assignment, Barbara signed on to collaborate with the First Lady on It Takes a Village, coming up with the title and structure of the book, and helping to shape the narrative into a coherent hole. Trouble was, Barbara was “disappeared” from the book's “Acknowledgements” page, and her contributions whitewashed by the Clinton White House, and so the attention-getting was not at all as she had imagined. Barbara would go on to teach journalism at Georgetown University for 25 years, and as she leaned away from ghostwriting she reflected on her work as a ghostwriter, and on her years-long relationships with her clients and subjects, with a shifting perspective. Her conclusion? “Writing other people's lives is a bit silly,” she writes in her memoir, “like playing dress-up, clomping around in your mother's pumps that don't quite fit, but it also lets you have a momentary sense of what it's like to be someone else.” That momentary sense is at the heart of our conversation.

Joan Crawford once threatened the director of the FBI when she wanted an old stag film destroyed. She accepted an Oscar that wasn't hers for the sole purpose to get revenge on her co-star. She wrote her daughter out of her will, before she knew the kid was about to permanently ruin her legacy. But how did she wind up at a party with Richard Nixon, J. Edgar Hoover, and Lyndon Johnson – on the eve of the Kennedy assassination? And why did some say the answer to that question was murder?

In this episode of the Mark Moss Show, we deep dive into a pivotal moment in financial history: The 53rd anniversary of the Nixon Shock, the moment President Richard Nixon ended the gold standard. Unraveling the implications of this seismic shift in global economics, we'll look at how money and politics have intertwined, causing ripples throughout society. We'll also discuss the age-old debate around the true nature of money, Bitcoin's role in the future economy, and question the ethical dimensions of debt in today's world. As we discuss the complexities of the financial world through the lens of politics, finance, and technology, we aim to shed light on the misunderstood dynamics of money's true power.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On August 9th, 1974, Richard Milhous Nixon, the 37th President of the United States of America, while serving his second term (after winning in a landslide), became the first and still only American leader to resign from office. Why? In a word, "Watergate." But Watergate was only the tip of the corruption iceberg. Through the televised Senate Watergate hearings, other members of government and the American public learned that having men break into the Democratic National Headquarters at the Watergate Office Complex  was but one of many, many illegal things Nixon had either outright authorized or at least tacitly endorsed. 69 people would be indicted and 48 of them would be convicted for various crimes related to this scandal, with many of them serving time in prison.

Book Vs. Movie: Three Days of the CondorThe James Grady Book Vs. the Robert Redford-Starring Movie The Margos talk about the paranoia-soaked 70s with a discussion about the novel & film Three Days of the Condor starring a dreamy Robert Redford and a luminous Faye Dunaway. The story is about a man who loves to read and works for the CIA and gets sucked into a life-threatening chase between himself and outside forces of the government.Published in 1974 (the same year Richard Nixon resigned from office), author James Grady used his experience working in politics in his native Montana to weave a tale around everyman Malcolm Ronald, who reads mystery and spy novels and analyzes the plots for the U.S. government. When his entire office is killed in one fell swoop--he goes on the run with his code name, “Condor,” to find a faithful ally to spare his life. The 1975 movie directed by Sydney Pollack stars a fantastic cast and takes a few liberties with the screenplay (by Lorenzo Semple, Jr. and David Rafiel.) What are the main differences between the short story and the film? Which version did the Margos like better? Have a listen!In this ep, the Margos discuss:The original “Sausage Fest” novelThe politics and news of the 1970s (paranoia aplenty!)The differences between the novel and filmThe cast of the 1975 film: Robert Redford (Joe Turner “The Condor,”) Faye Dunaway (Kathy Hale,) Cliff Robertson (Higgins,) Max von Sydow (Joubert,) John Housman (Wabash,) Addison Powell (Leonard Atwood,) Walter McGinn (Sam Barber,) Tina Chen (Janice Chong,) Jess Osuna (The Major,) Helen Stenborg (Mrs. Russell,) Patrick Gorman (Martin,) and Hansford Rowe as Jennings.Clips used:The “Condor” likes to read books!Three Days of the Condor (1975 trailer)The “Condor” calls inFaye Dunaway and Robert RedfordCliff Robertson explains the "game"The last sceneMusic by Dave GrusinBook Vs.

OK, so we're finally getting around to taking a chunk out of the prodigious, prolific, and venerable Noam Chomsky. Linguist, cognitive scientist, media theorist, political activist and cultural commentator, Chomsky is a doyen of the Real Left™. By which we mean, of course, those who formulated their political opinions in their undergraduate years and have seen no reason to move on since then. Yes, he looks a bit like Treebeard these days but he's still putting most of us to shame with his productivity. And given the sheer quantity of his output, across his 90 decades, it might be fair to say this is more of a nibble of his material. A bit of a left-wing ideologue perhaps, but seriously - what a guy. This is someone who made Richard Nixon's List of Enemies, debated Michel Foucault, had a huge impact on several academic disciplines, and campaigned against the war in Vietnam & the Indonesian occupation of East Timor. Blithe stereotypes of Chomsky will sometimes crash against uncomfortable facts, including that he has been a staunch defender of free speech, even for Holocaust deniers...A full decoding of his output would likely require a dedicated podcast series, so that's not what you're gonna get here. Rather we apply our lazer-like focus and blatantly ignore most of his output to examine four interviews on linguistics, politics, and the war in Ukraine. There is some enthusiastic nodding but also a fair amount of exasperated head shaking and sighs. But what did you expect from two milquetoast liberals? Also featuring: a discussion of the depraved sycophancy of the guru-sphere and the immunity to cringe superpower as embodied by Brian Keating, Peter Boghossian, and Bret Weinstein mega-fans.Enjoy!LinksTrust Science, Not Scientists | Peter Boghossian & Brian KeatingA new Epistemic courage/humility matrixGeorge Monbiot's Correspondence with Noam Chomsky on DenialismPiers Morgan Uncensored (2023): Piers Morgan vs Noam Chomsky | The Full InterviewPolitics Joe (2023): Noam Chomsky on Keir Starmer's attack on the Labour left, the war on unions and the future of AIUpon Reflections (1989): The Concept of Language (Noam Chomsky)Jones (2020): Academic article on Chomsky's views on GenocideDaily Beast (2017): How the West Missed the Horrors of Cambodia

Would you know a REAL moon rock if you saw it? Would you dive to the bottom of a trash heap to retrieve one? Do you want a vaguely sexual mental image of Richard Nixon stuck in your head? This week's episode somehow addresses all of these questions and more!Theme song written & performed by Miquela DeLeón and Gil Davis.

What if the 1969 moon landing catastrophically failed? That's the question artist Halsey Burgund poses with his “Moon Disaster” project, which makes use of AI technology to envision then-president Richard Nixon delivering an alternative speech to be used in the case of emergency. In doing so, Halsey draws attention to the fact that such a speech existed and was never broadcast, as well as the ways in which modern technology can fool viewers. Halsey sheds light on the video and audio technology used for this alternative take on history, talks about how he combines tech and art for his audio installations and reveals what he's got coming up.  

In his new book, “Leadership: Six Studies in World Strategy”, former Secretary of State, Dr. Henry Kissinger looks at lives of six of the most influential leaders of the last century: Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew, and Margaret Thatcher - all of whom he knew personally. Newt's guest is Henry Kissinger. He served as national security advisor and secretary of state under President Richard Nixon and President Gerald Ford and he has advised many other American presidents on foreign policy. He received the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Medal of Liberty.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

August 8, 1974. President Richard Nixon sits in the Oval Office, addressing the American people. He tells them: I'm going to resign. The news is shocking, but not unexpected. Today, it might even seem inevitable. But in the days leading up to the big decision, Nixon himself didn't know what he would do. At night he roamed the halls of the White House, torturously weighing his options. He even ordered a speechwriter to draft a statement announcing his refusal to resign. Sally Helm sits down with political speechwriter Jeff Nussbaum to talk about this curious kind of a document: a speech that could've changed history if only it had been given. They discuss what Nixon, and two other speech givers, would have felt preparing multiple drafts, as they faced an uncertain future, and how the world would be different had these speeches been given.Special thanks to our guest: Jeff Nussbaum, author of Undelivered: The Never-Heard Speeches That Would Have Rewritten History. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the Constitution leaves it to Congress to sort out electoral college votes. It doesn't leave it to the DOJ, a special counsel, or a grand jury. Not once was a prosecutor involved. Congress has the final determination. Yes, we've had contentious presidential elections in the past and nobody was accused of obstructing an election. In the past Democrats challenged elections by trying to overturn slates of electors and were never accused of obstructing an election. The Democrat Party has never accepted the election of a Republican president, not since Richard Nixon. They spent time trying to destroy every single one of them. Jack Smith has taken federal law and twisted and expanded it. Smith, at the behest of Merrick Garland, is seizing the electoral power from the American people and Congress for themselves. They are seizing the power to decide what will and will not fly in elections. Now Mike Pence, Chris Christie, and Will Hurd stand with Jack Smith? They all agree that a 150-year-old statute to abolish the Klan was a good use of a criminal charge against Donald Trump? Every count against Trump is bogus! Also, Trump just happened to get the most radical, activist DC judge to oversee his case. Judge Tanya Chutkan worked in the same law firm as Hunter Biden when he was a lobbyist. She needs to recuse herself. Later, Fitch is downgrading America's long-term debt. This will have tremendous negative consequences. This is from the Democrat party's war on the family and the economy. They are pushing us into a 3rd world status. Finally, Caroline Glick calls in to discuss the fate of Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu's judicial overhaul. Learn more about your ad choices.
