May I ask you, please, how have you obtained these recordings (so clear)?

[rmm413c]

Hi, I have the answer up now on my channel (click on my user name). The vast majority of the tapes are of poorer quality than the ones I've uploaded. I've particularly tried to pick ones that are for the most part clear and can be understood without transcripts. That's also the reason I've focused on telephone conversations, which usually are clearer, rather than oval office or EOB recordings of meetings. There is extraordinary variation in quality with the Nixon Tapes.

theres just something hysterical about how old school nixon is. He's sort of a balls out personality yet he was so insecure, he is perhaps one of the most fascinating presidents...almost dare i say an anti-hero to some extent

What a presidential lap dog Hoover was, to BOTH Johnson and Nixon. He give new meaning to sychophant.

Oh for crying out loud, who the fuck cares which story gets top billing? One thing about Hoover, could Never get over being upstaged

They're so pathetic. Such weak, insecure people.

@MrGNR1990 Not the first--nor last time--the American electorate made a HUGE mistake. McGovern would have been so much better--at least more ethical.

@windstorm1000 When you present Truth, you should do it with less hate.

@Mystic0157 Don't kid yourself---THEY were under HIS thumb. Hoover blackmailed everybody--that is how he stayed in power so long. He was an evil man who did his best to thwart every human rights event of that time period.

@windstorm1000 I hear you. It was BAD move. The American people are good people--but they are arent always sharp upstairs....and they did it again --TWICE--with a destructive second string --George W. Bush.

@storrs19 Leave it to Dick Nixon with his campy, bitchy tongue to be a hit all over again --on You Tube!!! Completely fascinating. Like watching a verbal car wreck--except it ultimately isn't so funny. Both of these men were against democracy--that is NOTHING to be proud of.

The two biggest crooks in U.S History on the telephone.

@windstorm1000 Obviously he wasn't so reprehensible. Look at his landslide in 1972.
