- Jack Beatty is a veteran political commentator-journalist, author, senior editor at the Atlantic and one of the hosts on NPR On Point. I did this interview in 1989. I found him entertaining to listen to-blunt-clearheaded-energetic. I was amazed when I found this clip just how relevant what he was talking about - President Nixon in his final days -is to what many feel about former Donald Trump. To be clear, I am not saying that I agree with what Jack Beatty said but I found the parallels interesting to consider.. #trump2020 #maga #nixon #americanhistory
Love how this breathes the truth of unbiased broadcast from decades past. Always great content on this channel.
"Stretching their ignorance to meet the limits of the show" This man is a poet!
So Good!! This man is so forward thinking. Blunt, honest, real.
It is Press Arrogance and it has increased Exponentially on Orders of Magnitude since this interview of course the AP will have to fact check this Statement based on who it might Benefit
I love how people assume that David is some hard core, Trump hating leftist, just for posting these videos and asking questions. He may very well be a very liberal guy, but he hasn't send any message that makes this look bias. Just enjoy the videos and post your opinions.
So true, and thank you Nate.
David Hoffman-filmmaker
Nah, that would be asking too much of people.
@coffeeinthemorning I hate BOTH parties! However if yer still going to vote for Trump after ALL that he's done either one of two things: a) You're wealthy or b) You're a bloody idiot!
@@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker As Nixon was famous for saying..." Let me make this perfectly clear..." I have never branded David as a leftist Trump hater...it never entered my mind...!! David is sharing film clips/videos from his many years of videographing ( if that is a word....?? ) and I know that he did not deliberately set out to promote any particular political or religious or Social view of his own . Did he know or suspect that some of his videos would create some very interesting discussions in the comments section...? I do not know....you will have to ask David. I think that the often very lively ( to put it mildly...LOL..!! ) discussions that his videos has inspired is good for everyone. We have the 1st Amendment that is supposed to guarantee our inalienable right of free speech ( but a responsible and accountable free speech...can't stand up in a crowded theatre and "Fire..!! "). So, maybe we all can learn something with these lively discussions, for we certainly WILL NOT if our right to free speech is outlawed. So David...keep giving us more "food for thought"..I love it..!!
All he's doing is posting videos and relating them to today.
Why do people get so sensitive about any criticism toward trump ? Has America become so tribal that republicans and Democrats can’t critique their own party?
It has. Today, at my usual meeting place the FOX NEWS was blaring away about how TRUMP is the second king coming. The news at that time showed how screwed up the Democrats are by wanting the FULL REPORT of the Mueller investigation. I chimed in with 'Good Idea, let's see it all'. The FOXIES all shouted at me, 'We've seen enough, that's all we need to see". Bwahahaha, they then turned away from me and huddled like lemmings planning a trip to the cliffs. Just ridiculous. They should post a sign there...."If you don't agree with us, get out" ... That's the state of affairs nowadays and it just leads to chaos and anarchy down the road. Just ridiculous (am I repeating myself?)
Same for left-leaning mainstream media.
@@denisjurcik7522 Thank heaven that FAUX News is fair and balanced - Yeah right...
@HGR nobody said they were. However for the past 2 yrs the liberal media has been going hysterical. It doesn’t help that the Mueller has been released, again the left media’s favor.
Denis Jurcik not that right leaning media is perfect but I agree with you, CNN needs to drop this Russia collision thing. It seems like they really won’t let it go. I just wish news stations weren’t so biased in general
He looks like a template for making middle-aged college professors.
I like the way he tells history
Two words: Gary Hart. No media-driven Donna Rice scandal, no Bush I, no Bush II.
Hart was stupid enough to egg them on...
@@gbonkers666 How do you mean?
Hart might have done well.
He got caught with Donna Rice. On a boat called "The Monkey Business".
I wonder how the Journalists felt when they had this story in front of them?
Agreed
I supported Jimmy Carter in 1976 and couldn't wait to vote against him in 1980.
This man is entitled to his opinion.
But I remember Jimmy Carter as president. This man's comparison is way off. There is no comparison.
What sank Carter was the Iran Hostage Crisis and that story was simply too large to sweep under the rug.
I supported Reagan in 1980. I wasn't allowed to vote in 1976.
I remember Carter as President. He micromanaged too many things. He wanted to impose his values onto the nation.
Carter did a lot of shady stuff on the side. His war on guns. His war on energy production. His pious "You can learn to live on less" speeches.
Symbolism and pious chatter instead of action.
Carter did so many inconsistent things that drove the markets crazy.
The "Hostage Crisis" was the tip of a vast ice berg of incompetence.
@@jamallabarge2665 sounds like we are the same age, and I remember the same way you do
@@joecombs7468 I look back on Carter's attitude with sadness.
Carter's moral foreign policy makes sense today. After 1991 we should have been rolling it up around the world.
In the 1970s we had just lost a horrible divisive war in SE Asia.
Carter wanted "healing". So he amnestied all "draft dodgers". People spat at him.
People forget how bad Vietnam was.... American soldiers used to find medical supplies from US colleges in Vietcong underground hospitals. "Medical supplies from your friends at Berkeley University". Imagine being a US soldier finding supplies for your enemy sent them by a US college??
We had US soldiers being spat on, called "baby killers". A lot of people in Vietnam didn't shoot anyone.
Grunts told me that they did shoot kids. They felt awful about it. "If we didn't shoot the kids they would blow themselves up".
To the communists "total war" means what it means. Everyone fights. So our people had to shoot kids or die.
That was the stupid war that Lyndon Johnson put us into.
After the war everything was fucked up. Why were we over there? What was the point of it? A lot of common people had relatives who fought, some didn't come back. Others were MIA, missing in action.
What if our loved ones were being tortured in concentration camps by communists? Movies were made about finding MIAs. Fantasies, mostly.
I'm sure guys were over there. Some may have volunteered to stay. Others? Hostages to the promised money that Nixon and Kissinger said we would pay but never gave to them.
Carter wanted a more "moral" foreign policy. Carter had good ideas, at least foreign policy, at the wrong time.
Carter's domestic policies were a train wreck.
@@jamallabarge2665 I joined the military while Carter was president. That was a couple years after Vietnam. We didn't get treated as bad as Nam Vets, but it was still cool to hate military. I served on nuclear powered submarines. Most of those college kids didn't know the difference between nuclear power & nuclear weapons. To them we were on nuke boats that made us baby-killers.
Someone from family has fought in every war & "police action" our country has been in. Sometimes they didn't come home.
Of all the wars, police actions, and hostilities we had in the 20th century, my opinion is two were needed.
@@joecombs7468 There are still people who confuse nuke weapons with nuke reactors.
Nuke weapons? Hopefully they're useless today.
Nuke reactors? We need more of them.
Carter outlawed fuel reprocessing in the US. We only had one civilian site, it closed. Another of Carter's dipshit moves.
I lost a relative in Vietnam. He came back in the 1990s in a small box. I wish we had stayed out of there.
Carter was a great president for many reasons. So true what Jack Beatty says here.
Sadly I remember those attacks on Carter. Some of them were honest though. After Carter's failure to stand up to Iran it was time for him to go.
Did Ronald Reagan stand up to Iran? There's a theory...not even a conspiracy theory...just a theory....that Reagan's campaign liaised with Iran to delay the release of the hostages.
The motive of Iran? To get weapons shipments...which they got. The Iran/Contra scandal.
drmodestoesq it's not a theory it's a fact, it's well known in Iran.
drmodestoesq some idiots were very proud of controlling the result of elections in America.
@@drmodestoesq We're not dicussing Reagan, we're discussing Carter.
@@leoalex2344 How can you discuss Carter without referencing the person he lost an election to? That's like discussing Stalin without referencing Hitler.
the more i watch these interviews of a political nature I find so many parrallels. Whether you like trump or hate him, this presidency has had the hallmarks ofany other president except it appears in our current climate there's at least a bit more honesty, or transparency. With the underlying crimes of epstein and the political elite on display for the world to see it will be interesting to see if trump truly is the absolute villain he is framed as by the media or if he lay somewhere in the middle. A business man who has stumbled upon a bi partisan agenda to control the american political landscape through black mail and violence.
Which journalists is he referring to at the end?
There is hardly anybody today who has a clear unsullied view of Jimmy Carter. This short piece is invaluable to the generations who never knew the positive PEACE of the Carter years. Since my birth in 1947 Carter was the only good president we had.
Great comment! You expressed just how I was feeling and thinking.
Have you talked to any of the people held for 444 days.......🤔🤔🤔
I agree to a point. Carters only failing, in my opinion, was his micro-management. Good or bad, Leaders must lead with an informative cabinet, else they cannot lead effectively. He was a brilliant man, a good President except for, what I believe, that one failing.
So, Coffee, what should have been done? Let me guess, bomb the hell out of Iran, and still see the 444 murdered? Hmmm. This was a tricky game we had to play with the mullahs, and any outcome would have been fraught with divisive issues.
Ronnie Reagan played his cards well, stalling their departure (which Jimmy Carter brokered) until his election, making him the saint. A scam of greater proportions ... I guess Reagan figured 'They've been there long enough, what's another few months until I get elected and claim the credit for their release.'
I was born under Carter and Trump is the only real advocate for true peace we have had in the White House in my life. Reagan had the right rhetoric but the rest id the Admin were weasels.
Carter is one of my favorite human beings today. I can't chime in well regarding his term, perhaps today the presidency has become the problem, like the ring from Lord of the Rings. "Precious precious...If we just have thar ring..."
need a more suitable title on this one
Mister Hoffman is learning the art of clickbait I suppose? 😁
I can't tell you how much i want us all to do what he's talking about: "recognize the permanently subversive force". Participating in it is just dead weight, preventing all of our dreams. From another source i heard the thought of "it isn't cool to help the president". I wish I knew how that got started, and how we can make it go away. Who cares about "cool" when we've got work to do. And when that work gets done, we are all much happier!
Who is this man? I like his insight but want his name and date of this recording please. Thank you.
Laura. You have been a subscriber for just about a year. I am surprised that you haven't read the description. That's where, on my TH-cam channel, the information you request is given.

Thanks for the 2nd part
Very insightful. Glad to see these posted and to realize that some things never change.
There is something lovely about those liberals who were formed in their thinking, not by university elites but by urban working class. They had an inherent distrust of authority, not as privileged intellectuals.
I wonder what ever happened to this Jack Beatty. Being a senior editor at the Atlantic and having these level-headed opinions seems incompatible.
Can't see that, Smitty. Help me out, if you're up to it. I'd like to understand, because it seems a natural progression for thinkers.
He would've been 'dismissed' for something he said 100 year ago.
Carter shunned the tools his own party was willing to provide. Instead of using seasoned professional Democratic press people, he brought 30 year old rookies from Atlanta. Howard K Smith recommended the great Clark Clifford to help him get this adminstration started. Clark lived right there. It was a great idea.. Carter instead...brought in more rookies from Atlanta. Those things matter. Carter ran much more closer to Reagan in 1980 than the raw final numbers indicate when you look at the election internally. Most of those southern states were very close and he almost won New York. All he needed to do was sweep the south, take New York and add just a couple more big states like 1976.
wow, there was a time when a prominent lefty say the problems in the press. oh well.
For better or worse, I am grateful we have the press!
An activist media that doesn't report news is not the press.
@@asymptoticsingularity9281 This comment is from two years ago. I believe the last fragment of free press was still around at that time. Now, we have the president reading off cue cards given to him by the news outlets. This is insanity.
Ted Turner has some nutty ideas. But he is a well rounded media/business man. When he created cable news. He thought this is great...people who work at hospitals, waitresses and various 3rd shifters can come home and watch the news. People don't have to wait until 5 or 6pm. He could sell ads targetting housewives during the day, ect. Little did he know, he was opening up a portal straight to hell. LOL
That’s the most ridiculous Title I’ve ever seen
Really? I know I'm young, but I have a vague memory of Carter's administration. I perceive you may be experiencing some cognitive dissonance over the seemingly opposite political labels the press have given Carter and Trump. For one, Trump didn't choose the GOP by conviction- he chose the party by strategy. He's been videoed saying he'd run as a Democrat, in the past.
"...it almost made him seem an illegitimate claimant to the White House..." Wonder if HRC had a chance to watch these?
Well at least you balanced it up.
Yup, everything especially the end sounds just like today. They keep rebooting political hype, amping it u think David? Hype one side look like a Devolve & then when ppl take a deeper peak & see its hype, then it makes that same side look like a shining Angle.
The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was passed in the summer of 1964, NOT 1965. This guy is a fanatical extremist.
