Ron Howard’s movie changed the interviews and the history substantially. Frost did the same with the actual interviews themselves, by redoing them in this program. He chooses snippets, and gives his own views about each, leaving out important pieces that show a very different story. Between them, Howard and Frost have tried to change history. The truth is that Nixon defeated Frost easily and convincingly in the original interview, which Frost made impossible to find.
I don't care what you did you in past or who you were.. But once your in the highest seat in the office and perhaps the world... you don't just dick around and play dirty games. The honour to be in such a position and misuse your powers so foolishly i won't understand. How can greed over power the noble honour of being president of the united states . How did he not see the value to even want to play dirty ... he was on top of the world ... but the greed override ... sad ... one of many
Only the great writer george orwell can put it in its true terms.
"absolute power corrupts absolutely"
But that seat of power and that position i will never begin to understand, and who is to say that you or i, given the same power, the same influence and the same control, would not abuse it?
Who knows, but at least we can say we have the means to hold such abuse to account. in a democracy that is.
So maybe the democracy in vietnam was a worthy cause..
Isn't it also a shame that Nixon's lawyers told the truth better than Hillary and Willies? And how about Vince Foster? Isn't it also a shame that he killed himself before he could be asked about all those billing records with Whitewater and as such? I guess some people are just lucky.
Its a pity all of you liberals don't want to hold Mr. Hillary and her wife willie to the same standard. Illegal wiretaping and planting evidence is ALWAYS illegal unless your Hillary looking for any women in Willie's past that might pop up sometime. And unlike Willie, the classic statement 'Is does mean is' which will go down in history, Nixon was far more contrite and remorsefull but only playing the game the Kennedys played. So much for that. HORRAY FOR COMMANDER HILLARY!
Bill Clinton sleazed his way out of at least a half dozen scandals, all of which were grounds for impeachment: Whitewater, Travelgate, Troopergate, Filegate, Sexgate, the Vince Foster and Jim McDougall "suicides," Gennifer Flowers, Linda Tripp, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, and the Ron Brown "plane crash." All of these incidents made Watergate seem harmless by comparison. Clinton isn't dubbed "Slick Willie" for nothing!
i wouldn't be surprised if most presidents did something like this. Nixon just happened to get caught. Besides, if he did in fact do what he did for the nation, then he was just trying to help. However, i understand that that may not be true.
Regarding all of this attention on an otherwise good president, don't judge him unless you yourself want to be judged, and brought to the light of day the ugly things you do in private or thoughts you have. We are all jumping on the hate nixon bandwagon, but what if there were tapes of each of us (at our jobs, at home, talking with business associates, etc); and these tapes were made public. Let's not be hyporcrits here, we would not want it publicized. You think OBAMA IS ANY BETTER?
of coursed nixon was dirt , but so was all the presidents before him , I dont know but my feeling on the watergate scandal is that it was lie he put those tapes for other readson not to bugg the democratic party , but to try to take down the communist scum like henry kissinger , I think he was going after the corrupted bastards that had hidden agendas .
Wow, people are devoting alot of time and energy over- analyzing something that happened thirty years ago.

As for Nixon?? Regardless of political beliefs, he was arguably the most fascinating person ever to occupy The Oval Office.

this is exactly what was wrong with nixon. he was always concerned with what his "enemies" where doing. its always me against them, its their fault. He says that he accepts responsibility, but only for his downfall not for all the things he did (including unethical and illegal activities). He was a paranoid, manipulative, shady person

@yourboycal No one thinks that corruption is okay here in America. I think you're just jealous because the US is the greatest country in the world, and Canada has never stood for or done anything. Yes, it's a flawed country, but far less flawed than others. And who said we were sinking?
@yourboycal due, not all of us are corrupt and only think of ourselves, dont get me wrong, thers people who think only of fame, money, and selfishness in the us, but put all the shit on them, im just a 17 yr old artist trying to make my life worth living, and living in the U.S. is AT LEAST better off living in a 3rd world country where there are murders, famine, etc. and im thankful for that... but i would like to move outta this country and move to australia... koalas kick ASS!
@mgabrysSF That comment was for the people who were justifying corruption for the sake of nation . That is some bs . This man is suppose to me a commander , cheif , man , father , hero , role model , leader , servent of the people and to uphold the constitution. What he did was a spit on the contitution and the american people. Hey canada has its problems too don't get me wrong but thats another issue =). Nixons actions still has the dark clouds of the american flat and its soliders...
@youareavirgin haha no, I'm not worried. I own stock solely in US companies. And as far as I see it, the US Dollar isn't the currency that's being discussed right now as being "shit." I'd reassess Europe's situation buddy! Luxembourg's per capita debt is over 1 million dollars compared to the average US citizen at around $40,000. We have the highest per capita income in the world, and we have 300,000,000 people! Don't try to tell me we're in trouble.
@youareavirgin The amount is truly negligible (47,568) when compared to Luxembourg at $3,696,467, Ireland at $519,070, Switzerland at $154,063, The UK at $144,338, Norway at $131,220, Belgium at $113,603, Denmark at $101,084, and another 7 European countries still with higher per capita debt than the US! To be at the UK's debt we'd need to be $44.7 trillion dollars in debt! So we have a way to go til we're as bad off as Europe haha.
what i dont understand is why, nixon wasnt such a bad guy (allot better than bush). so why use money and time to spy on democrates instead of building up the country. i dont get it, he practicly ruined his own cariere. btw i am not from USA.
Bush lied to America so he could try to control another country. He had all these idiot rednecks over here believing he was retaliating for 911.when he was really trying to kill huessien,get oil,and make a "democracy" of Iraq.what kinda of idiot is that guy. To put him and Obama in any same category of stature just make you completely discredible. Anyone who agrees with you on that shouldn't even bother respond,guys youre just an idiot,ignorant,or racist(combo of both)
At least Nixon had the manhood, albeit under pressure, to face this and admit he fucked up. I cant see those rats Bush and Blair ever, EVER, giving an interview like this and admitting they lied over WMDs and 9'11 attacks being linked to Iraq.
@AndreHiltre It's more complex than you think. You had to be alive during this period to understand what Nixon did and why it was so bad. In the end he resigned, was pardoned, and pocketed a huge amount for the interview. By today's corruption standards, Nixon's actions were small, but they still are not inexcusable or legal.
"had he not been caught, he'd of made a great President! " well i guess had ted bundy not been caught he'd be a good guy too.You must be a moron the think a CRIMINAL in office was any but a shame and devastation to the usa,Oh maniarmani,yeah bush had to be the worst president ever.
Further, who cares about Richard Nixon as a person? Once you understand anyone's motives it's easy to say "they were just products of circumstance". Evaluate Richard Nixon as 37th President, holder of the highest office of government in the United States. He made horrible selfish choices that were detrimental to the US as a whole.
Watergate was nothing compared to the theft of the Pentagon papers by Daniel Ellesburg. The New York Times printed these papers on the front page!
Compare that to the "climategate" revelations, instead of praising the hackers for exposing the false data, liberals demanded the hackers be prosecuted!
Nixon ended the Vietnam War, ended the draft and tried to pay down the debt on a war that had escalated out of control under President Johnson.
so...hiring 7 guys/paying them off/wire tapping journilist and rationalist/ and also going into a country that had nothing to do with the vietnam war.....fuk...CONTINUING the the vietnam war, is your idea of just unfortunate errors in judgement???? HIS WHOLE PRESIDENCY WAS UNFORTUNATE!
@Entysin You're surely mistaken. President Nixon's supporters ordered the men to break into watergate. Nixon later found out and then tried to cover it up(which he was condemned for).
Do you mean Nixon's first year in office was more successful than Obama's first year has been. Or are you being an idiot and making some rash generalization.
Nixon was not a bad president. He made an unfortunate error in judgment, which he paid dearly for. However, he made some significant political achievements.
Although I agree that Lincoln was the best president you have to give Washington a great deal of credit for holding the whole thing together. The man walked away after two terms when he could have easily been president for life. In the end Nixon's paranoia did him in. You gotta give him credit though it took balls to do this interview.
@fins142 I disagree. I think handcock held it together before it was even made. And washington for paying for the revolutionary war and commanding it was rewarded with presidency in a way.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
for everyone who thinks that Clinton was a great president is an idiot. the only reason why we had such great economic growth during his years of presidency was the by factor of what reagan created. whoever would have been president at that time would have flourished end of story. as far as the best president i would have to say Lincoln then FDR.
I used to believe as you do. i voted against Clinton in both Presidential elections, and i voted for Bush43; twice as Governor, once as POTUS. After one term of Bush43, I came to see Clinton in a new light.
He was without doubt a crook, but he was a good President.
You have to look at the facts of his whole term in office, not just Watergate or Cambodia. What about his achievements on China? The USSR? The ABM Treaty? His domestic economic policies pre-1972? His acceleration of desegregation?
Why was he re-elected by one of the biggest landslide victories in Presidential Election history? Because he was such a bad President? I don't think so.
I never liked the man. And I still don't. BUT.... ^
man, i feel bad for the guy. He was a good president, but really but an eventful turn to the presidency. Hes the reason media goes after scandels now, they have no respect for the president anymore :(
He was a criminal. you should respect the presidents who weren't on trial and forced to resign, not dirt bags like this. I don't feel bad for the guy. He was a crook. Straight up crook.
nixon?????a good president???are you fucking kidding me, he was a cocksucker and a idiot. so read everything hes done in hes time as president before saying he was good....how many lives did he take????he was a fucking retard like you
Can you imagine Nixon in charge during the Cuban Missile Crisis? He wouldn't have hesitated for a second in nuking Cuba and Russia and Russia would have started firing Nukes all over the place. No you and me, No You tube.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Nixon - paranoid, very smart person, but extremely paranoid. Watergate "scandal" was to find out if people where spying on him/his political cabinet. It's nothing that he should have gotten impeached for, it wasn't that bad of something to commit.
He did not have a corrupt motive? Then why do something that will make you look corrupted and implicate you in a "corrupt motive" scandal ? That does not make sense!
Additionally, fractional reserve banking is currently the largest reason for the western worlds constant and never ending fight against inflation. And the fact is that for most people our wages simply cannot keep up with this inflation. Over the last 3 decades our reliances on accumulating massive levels of both personal and national debts just to stay afloat is astounding.
@maniarmani Alot of thumbs up.We had a good string of presidents from Roosevelt to Kennedy.Now Bush to Obama is a very bad string of presidents.Bring back the Nixon intelligence.The Kennedy confidence or the Reagan policies and we can start to live again.
@maniarmani Don't you see the irony there? You watched a film that humanized him, what do you think will happen when the Bush film is made? Look past the obvious, YES the film showed a more humbled Nixon, a more human Nixon. But the racial slurring, back door dealing Nixon was the one in the White House. At his lowest point he was humbled, but at his highest he was corrupt.
Both Kennedy and Nixon have different ways of running the country, but Kennedy was more loved by the people, i,e: he was 100% successful. Kennedy had clean heart, and good intentions. While Nixon did both good and bad things, but the bad things made him hated by people due to media and news papers repeating his fall offs from time to time, as if he made many bad things for ever and ever.
A clean heart to adulterate? He also won the election by the smallest of margins in US history. Also LBJ passed more civil rights legislation than JFK ever would have dreamed of. Kennedy was pretty mediocre, but between Cuban MIssile Crisis and his rock star image alot of glam was cast over the truth.
Finally Obama should take note of what became of Kennedy, unless he is assasinated, then Obama might just be Kennedy 2.
are you serious lol? Nixon is the one who fully removed America from the gold standard of currency issuance which is the single greatest reason behind the unbelievable inflation behind the USD. dont get me wrong it started in 1913 when the Federal Reserve (private bank that monopolizes your money) became more powerful then your government, but it was nixon who who finished the job of turning the USD into a meaningless FIAT CURRENCY. Worst President ever. Bottom 3 for sure.
Dude. It would have happened anyway, the global market really runs nation's economies. Governments just have to play catch up. If it wasnt Nixon, it would have been ford, or Reagan, or Bush, or Clinton or bloody Obama. Bound to happen anyway, it was part of long term trends that you identify -free choice wasnt an issue, all countries in this period deregulated.
So that makes it right? The western countries (the people) need to start getting mad about the fact that our currencies are meaningless fiat currencies within an economic system inherently DESIGNED to fail. The Great Depression was no accident.
Not saying it makes it right, it just made it inevitable. Also the economic system is pretty good, wealth generation and real wage growth have risen since the floating of the dollar. Its more a case of the US's horrible economic mismanagment by your last 4 presidents that are the reason for your predicament, not the floated exchange rate, which in fact empowers your Economies real purchasing power.
im canadian by the way, not american. And although I agree that huge mismanagement is a massive part of the current problems with the american (and world) economy, American leaders (federal governmen) only comply with the intenational banks like the Fed because those banks own th eeconomy and can collapse it if their puppet governments around the world (led by america) dont comply. The mother of 5 of the most reknon Rothchild boys once said her boys could start wars as they pleased. (roughly)
Hey mate, trust me as an Australian I would love the gold standard to come back. However in the end modern economies and the needs of wealth creation do give us out standards of living. The real trick is to adopt the British system of banking(which I assume you guys might have), where the Reserve bank controls the nations economy but is independant of the government, however as a reserve bank its not supposed to make profit or operate as a commerical bank. You are right internationals can b evil
fractional reserve banking is employed all over the world. that is what the federal reserve does to create money. We DO employ the british banking system lol. It is that very system that is creating the wealth consolodation into fewer and fewer hands worldwide. In the 1600's when the british monarchy was losing is weath and power to the mercanting class (middle class) they made plans as to how to get that wealth\power back. And centra banking (and the susequent corporations around it) was born.
Sure he was involved in a "cover up".But he was not a bad man. He tried to do what he thought was best for his nation. And people reacted and judged him harshley. No one can understand his motives, unless you can be open-minded with yourselves first. I think, had he not been caught, he'd of made a great President!
12 out of 433k means nothing; the guy was a moron. more people dies in Vietnam in the first 5 years of his presidency than in any other *AND* he made us invade Cambodia. DUH!
O, the liberals take down of Nixon was the start of the long, dirty war between the GOP and the Dems. People always put blame on the GOP for going after Clinton, but the Dems started it with this nonsense. Nixon may have been a bit slippery, but he was a very good leader and never did anything actually worthy of impeachment. That obstruction charge was pretty weak.
agreed. There is no evidence that he even new about watergate before it happened..his only crime is getting involved in the cover up. JFK was the most corrupt politician of them all..using the mafia to get himself elected and spending 2 million (which back then was like 5000 trillion dollars) in bribes for west virginia alone, fixing machines, using daddys connections, and not to mention fucking almost every chick on the planet. hmm..JFK was actually really fucking awesome
I keep hearing people say that Bush kept the U.S. safe from another attack. On that note it is safe to say that the 9/11 attacks happened under Bush's watch. Did he keep America safe then?
I must agree with you...I've been posting the same thing on youtube for the last several years.
9/11 happened on G.W. Bush's watch. It's plain and simple. The worst terrorist attack on our country happened while G.W Bush was president...the worst president our country ever had...ever will.
They also were warned that terrorists were planning on driving an airliner into a major financial area, and the WTC was listed as a possible target. What did Bush and his ilk do? Nothing. Over 3000 people died because of their inaction. That's entirely their fault.
still a better president than the douche Clinton.

@youareavirgin The amount is truly negligible (47,568) when compared to Luxembourg at $3,696,467, Ireland at $519,070, Switzerland at $154,063, The UK at $144,338, Norway at $131,220, Belgium at $113,603, Denmark at $101,084, and another 7 European countries still with higher per capita debt than the US! To be at the UK's debt we'd need to be $44.7 trillion dollars in debt! So we have a way to go til we're as bad off as Europe haha.

Why was he re-elected by one of the biggest landslide victories in Presidential Election history? Because he was such a bad President? I don't think so.

Additionally, fractional reserve banking is currently the largest reason for the western worlds constant and never ending fight against inflation.

Both Kennedy and Nixon have different ways of running the country, but Kennedy was more loved by the people, i,e: he was 100% successful. Kennedy had clean heart, and good intentions. While Nixon did both good and bad things, but the bad things made him hated by people due to media and news papers repeating his fall offs from time to time, as if he made many bad things for ever and ever.

A clean heart to adulterate? He also won the election by the smallest of margins in US history. Also LBJ passed more civil rights legislation than JFK ever would have dreamed of.

Finally Obama should take note of what became of Kennedy, unless he is assasinated, then Obama might just be Kennedy 2.

are you serious lol? Nixon is the one who fully removed America from the gold standard of currency issuance which is the single greatest reason behind the unbelievable inflation behind the USD. dont get me wrong it started in 1913 when the Federal Reserve (private bank that monopolizes your money) became more powerful then your government, but it was nixon who who finished the job of turning the USD into a meaningless FIAT CURRENCY. Worst President ever. Bottom 3 for sure.

Dude. It would have happened anyway, the global market really runs nation's economies. Governments just have to play catch up. If it wasnt Nixon, it would have been ford, or Reagan, or Bush, or Clinton or bloody Obama. Bound to happen anyway, it was part of long term trends that you identify -free choice wasnt an issue, all countries in this period deregulated.

So that makes it right? The western countries (the people) need to start getting mad about the fact that our currencies are meaningless fiat currencies within an economic system inherently DESIGNED to fail. The Great Depression was no accident.

Not saying it makes it right, it just made it inevitable. Also the economic system is pretty good, wealth generation and real wage growth have risen since the floating of the dollar. Its more a case of the US's horrible economic mismanagment by your last 4 presidents that are the reason for your predicament, not the floated exchange rate, which in fact empowers your Economies real purchasing power.

im canadian by the way, not american. And although I agree that huge mismanagement is a massive part of the current problems with the american (and world) economy, American leaders (federal governmen) only comply with the intenational banks like the Fed because those banks own th eeconomy and can collapse it if their puppet governments around the world (led by america) dont comply. The mother of 5 of the most reknon Rothchild boys once said her boys could start wars as they pleased. (roughly)
seraphimWILLunite 2 years ago
Hey mate, trust me as an Australian I would love the gold standard to come back. However in the end modern economies and the needs of wealth creation do give us out standards of living. The real trick is to adopt the British system of banking(which I assume you guys might have), where the Reserve bank controls the nations economy but is independant of the government, however as a reserve bank its not supposed to make profit or operate as a commerical bank. You are right internationals can b evil
fp470 2 years ago
fractional reserve banking is employed all over the world. that is what the federal reserve does to create money. We DO employ the british banking system lol. It is that very system that is creating the wealth consolodation into fewer and fewer hands worldwide. In the 1600's when the british monarchy was losing is weath and power to the mercanting class (middle class) they made plans as to how to get that wealth\power back. And centra banking (and the susequent corporations around it) was born.
