Tricky Dick had this catch up with him later. Playing games like that is disgusting.

Nixon liked JFK but not his brothers. Johnson simply despised all of them

Meanwhile LBJ was bugging Nixon's campaign airplane..but he accused Nixon of wrong doing. Lol only right that Nixon won the Presidential election despite LBJ's illegal actions. Besides the so called peace 🕊️ talks were a political stunt with the intention to get VP Humphrey elected President..but it didn't work out. Nixon won the 1968 election very narrowly.

It continues to fascinate me that it was common knowledge at the White House that Mark Felt was Deep Throat more than 31 years before it became public knowledge.

It is remarkable how weak and thoroughly unprepared Pat Gray sounds for the kind of work Nixon wants his FBI director to do. Gray is so far out of his element in this meeting, at times it’s comical. Gray’s repeated assurances that he is “tough” is rebuked every single time by Nixon, who actually uses the example of Nazis murdering everyone in a town because a sniper killed one of their soldiers. Imagine Gray’s mental reaction to that!?

Dirksen could not care less lol

I'm very happy to hear that Dick because that is taking place .... here's the history of it (totally overwhelms Nixon for the next five minutes).

It’s fascinating how Nixon cannot bring himself to say the word “resignation” in the first 10 minutes of this recording. And Dean insists on linking Haldeman’s and Erlichman’s fate to his own. The cat and mouse game is in full effect here.

Dick call them and tell them “put your shoes on and go to the conference!”

Johnson sucking snot from his sinuses. 🤮

Interesting that Nixon brought up Bebe Rebozo. Google Richard Nixon and Bebe Rebozo.

Pretty amazing What someone with a platform and a voice to reach millions can do! Everybody in the United States should know the name of Private First Class Isaac Woodard.

Terrible that we live in a country that thought this behavior was okay. Even the United States's armed service uniform didn't stop their hatred. Here this black man is fighting for this white police officer's freedom to be an asshole to him. A lot of the things that happen in our country are like Greek tragedies you can see it all happening and you just have to watch it take place and sometimes take part in i, but you know what the end is gonna be. It's sad we have not learned that our country has a serious problem with race.

I can't play the video, this behavior isn't normal

History doesn't necessarily repeat; but it does rhyme...

Great to hear two men working together on the transfer of power.

LBJ knew that Nixon sabotaged the peace talks.

It was only fair for Nixon to do that. LBJ’s bombing halt right before the election was a brazen, purely political move, and it definitely gave Humphrey a boost in the polls. Similar to Biden giving up a lot to get the prisoners released from Russia.

4:41, Johnson is right. Nixon knew what his team was doing.

14:39, But that's what happened. The bombing halt one week before the election almost worked to elect Hubert Humphrey in 1968. One has to wonder if the bombing halt took place in mid-October, if it would have changed the outcome of the election. This activity that took place is the reason why Nixon later had his staff break into the Democratic National Committe at the Watergate hotel. Nixon believed there were "tricks" on the way to tank his 1972 campaign. He was going to win anyway over George McGovern. Watergate should have NEVER happened!

Fascinating… you can hear Johnson’s power slipping away and Everett saying “Hey, I align with the most powerful and you aren’t anymore…”.

Ordinary people who like Nixon have Never bothered to find out who Nixon really was, they're mostly defending "a Republican President". I'm not inclined to defend Truman (a cigar committee choice when FDR wanted Henry Wallace as his V.P. again). I'm also not inclined to do the same for LBJ and Clinton was essentially a Republican. Good people in the Presidency are rare and usually a surprise. Joe Biden was supposed to he mich loke Obama but instead, Joe was far more Progressive than expected.

Presidents always use the FBI as a political tool, which is why calls to embassies are recorded, which is how Johnson knew that Nixon had been in contact with the South Vietnamese government. He didn't want to admit that. Nixon knew that Johnson knew. I find it humorous how two politicians were having this conversation completely aware of the real truth but still following through with platitudes as if truth were the elephant in the room.

Tricky Dick with the back channel maneuvers..a sign of things to come!

YEAH....repeat

Richard Nixon seems to be taking this information with complete sobriety. He seems to stay in control of his emotions despite the negative news being told to him. Nixon didn't show his cards as demonstrated in this conversation. Both the president and Petersen understood the implications of what was about to happen but didn't appear panicked in any way. Am I reading this correctly? I guess that's the temperament you want in a Cuban missile crisis or a Watergate for that matter.

One of my favorites just because.

Erlichman makes one last desperate attempt at talking Nixon out of firing him & Haldeman. But Nixon shuts it down quickly.

Nixon is unusually subdued on this recording. The beatings on Watergate are taking a toll.

wow

Jesus Christ, Colson was just a pathetic little dweeb. Perfect for Nixon. Paranoid, hateful, and jealous.

Anyone who thinks Colsen wasn’t in this stuff as bad as the rest take a good listen to your “religious” friend. This was just evil and an attempt to get Catholic votes. Kennedy was a Catholic which makes it that much worse. The right wing Catholics like Colsen and Hunt are some of the worst people in history. They are really proto fascists and won’t stop until they can control every bodily function we have. How pathetic and sad really. They are the first ones to try and cover up the sex abuse stuff with priests, they are the main contingent trying to take women’s reproductive rights away, and they are responsible for a lot of horrors in Africa and Latin America. A lot of those death squads are manned by “good Catholics.”

Two of the most corrupt POTUS's ever. Should have invited Gerald Ford on the call. The perfect Trifecta of Evil.

Society can not exist if the strong dont help the weak and we all are weak at times.

Wasnt Ayn Rand a Rothschild girlfriend when she wrote the book

That was not Nixon’s stance nor did he say anything to that effect. Nixon’s “advisor” but no one can corroborate or verify who it was.

Why did the call end so abruptly?

iklit

S Vietnam may have got a better deal than they got from Nixon/Kissinger in 1973 if Nixon hadn’t sabotaged LBJ’s peace negotiations because Nixon didn’t want to be a 3 time loser.

Nixon committed treason. Johnson should have told South Vietnam that they were on their own, and pulled out of Vietnam in time before the 1968 presidential election, so that Nixon would have lost. Nixon was a disaster as president. He disgraced the office, and left office in shame.

It's hard to tell Nixon's voice from Ehrlichman's voice because Nixon interjects a lot as is normal when two people are speaking. They sound alike. Even though the names are supposed to indicate who is talking and when it's not always clear.

Hunt & the burglars desperately need money but he is doing his best to maintain his composure and not snap at Colson. Colson, meanwhile, sounds slippery and disingenuous.

Nixon that scumbag was lying

I ONLY work in education or for liberal universities. I would NEVER work in the theatre or become an actor. I ama completely, 100% inflexible because YOU are the BAD guys, and I am the GOOD guy. What you have done is wrong and profoundly EVIL. I suggest you contact the Governor, tell them what you have done, and get a pardon ready because I ONLY WORK FOR LIBERAL UNIVERSITIES. PERIOD.

Unfortunately, here we are 80 years later and STILL dealing with crap in the United States when other advanced countries have policies to prevent such abuses.

There is no peace in the Unted States. There can be no peace when so many injustices have occurred and continue to occur. I'm just waiting for death as I was born in the wrong country.

I love Welles. I love his courage and commitment to what is right no matter how unpopular it made him.

FBI? They tried to drive Martin Luther King Jr. to suicide. They now hire racists almost exclusively as they love to hire undereducated rednecks over more liberal and tolerant college graduates.

It's always nice to know what you are actually banned from.

The domino theory has been debunked. The pentagon papers revealed the assessment that 90 percent of the war was about face -saving. The bombing of Cambodia enabled the Khmer Rouge to rise to power. Veterans can listen to conversations like this and understand what they were fighting for.
