No prompter, no notes, no hesitation For 45 minutes. No abusive rhetoric. No threats. There is nothing not to love about this.
Sums it up nicely.
Here's Nixon in his 70s, speaking on foreign policy for 45 minutes without notes or teleprompters.
1984 pal!

Nixon was aged 71 years in May 1984. He died almost ten years later in April 1994.
@@jstasiak2262 I knew that but that was not the basis of my answer. What Donahue should have said was his actual age and the date.
Nixon could kick anyone butt. That gentleman was a man. Excuse me; that President was a man with a vision.
@bradypatrick5405 He said he was in his 70s, not that this was in the 70's.
I love that jab at the air conditioning in the gymnasium.
Wow just impressed by him. It’s unfortunate he didn’t get to finish his second term he had great visions and plans and programs to make a lasting peace.
Positively brilliant. Nixon was a giant.
We need someone with the wisdom of Nixon now.
One of the greatest Presidents! 👍🏽
A great speech. Everyone should watch this.
we miss men like this.
WOW......i'm just watching the movie NIXON and until today i have never listened to President R Nixon at all. Watergate made me to instantly switch off. I think Mr Nixon is one of the most intelligent Republican Presidents ever.
Nixon was a very impressive leader and a had a very good grasp of foreign policy. Each of his words are still relevant today. Particularly on China.
I have an old news paper of when he visited China🇨🇳 That’s because of all the years of government he served with it. I don’t know President Nixon foreign policy since I’m a young buck.
Thank You.
Preserve peace + Extend Freedom
Nixon was such a bright and intelligent man. Listening to this man talk about international affairs is such a breath of fresh air!
Wow what happened? How did we go from the great leaders of the past to the cess pool we have now. We lost so much in the past few decades. My lifetime actually.
Kennedy Junior is our last bastard of past greatness. Do everything you can
people won’t vote for him out of fear.
I think the answer to that is simple. The New Left, those represented by McGovern and who Nixon defeated in 1972, have become the dominant force in the Democrat party and large parts of the communication, educational and business sectors. Until they are defeated, either in the boardrooms or the voting booth, this country will never be on the right path.
Do I agree with everything Nixon did as Presiden? Nno. Am I interested to hear what his foreign policy views were despite my disagreements with him? Absolutely.
This is his most impressive performance, between his ideas and how fluidly he conveys them. He's entirely wrong when he gets to nuclear superiority (around the 15-minute mark), failing to debunk the observation that "enough is enough," but he's still great to watch.
But,...where's the teleprompter?
He never used one in these settings.
@@Mrgop How is that even possible?
@@johnnotrealname8168 Nixon was a highly intelligent man
He was brillant, Too bad he went into to politics and lost his way.. He would have been a great Secretary of State.
For his first term he was his own secretary of state, just like Wilson was.
We the people wants truth

What was up with the video around 0:00-0:04?...
Old man Richard Nixon sounds even better than Donald Trump or Joe Biden. (No hate for Biden I support him and I also have no hate for DJT because he has fantastic hair 😂)
Man , this guy was a genious , Nixon was overshadowed by watergate , but he to me is a the best president of the 20th century
I think it was interesting that ex President Nixon should make this knind of peace and comprimise speech with the then Soviet Union, in 1984, when at that time the US under ex President Reagan was in the process of building a huge military presense in Europe that included Nuclear warheads in West Germany. There was a great fear in Europe that this was our Armageddon. All over Europe there were huge demonstions against the US foreign policy with respect to the unwieldy USSR.
However much of this was abated in 1985 when Mikail Gorbachev became president of the USSR in 1985. Gorbachev using terms like glasnost and perestroika wanted to change and modernise the USSR. Gorbachev had a number a summits with Reagan. I think they became friends over the years.
While Nixon certainly was on point, especially when talking on the long range future - no nuclear war, the rise of China - he did miss on one comment. The super hawks, as he called them, were right. Their application of pressure military and economic did lead to the collapse of the Soviets barely seven years later.
How Jesus speaks. It makes me cry.
Nixon told Richard Reeves, one of his biographers, that the national interests of the US and of China were irreconcilable and would eventually lead to war: Either a cold war or a hot shooting war. Nixon further told Reeves that when that situation arises, the US president must do everything to forestall the conflict because the East, led by China would prevail over the West, led by the US: [ th-cam.com/video/8p-lUUhfPdc/w-d-xo.html. 1:16:51].
Nixon would be aghast and apoplectic with American presidential leadership since his death. Nixon’s description of the leadership of the Soviet Union in this video could easily be applied to the present day United States of America.
“The Will always will defeat the sword.” Indeed.
When was Nixon considered cool enough to throw to each other without their hands burning?
What?
@@momothecat1 I think he meant when was Nixon not so hated that he was allowed to participate in polite American society again. Probably started with the David Frost interviews then his speech at Oxford, both in the late 1970s.
I'm 31 years old in my opinion I believe Richard Nixon is one of the best orators of the last 70 years. Donald Trump being the second just because I believe he learned a lot from Nixon. They're trying to do to Trump what they did to Nixon and it's not going to happen.
Both men genuinely care about country i believe.
This speech really impressed me and I wasn't even 12 minutes into it.
God bless Richard Nixon, Donald Trump, Israel, and the USA.
🇺🇲🙏🇮🇱
Donald Trump's speeches are more like Hitler speeches Nixon invokes empathy he's self-deprecating humorous way identifiers with the audience in that way Nixon was a paradox genius Trump is a five-year-old child I hope someday you'll understand this
Richard Nixon was nothing like Trump. Even with Watergate, Richard Nixon had more honor, respect, knowledge, intelligence and reasoning in his little finger than two Donald Trumps has in his entire body.
Richard Nixon would NOT be a fan of Trump at all.
Nixon n Trump are real superstar politicians
@@MarkNasuti I'm not sure I'd say Trump's speeches are like Hitler's but yea I would agree that Trump's oration skills pale in comparison to Nixon's.
What I do think Trump is good at is shedding the fake facade that many Americans loathe in their politicians. He does not act professional or respectful, and while a good >50% of the population loathes that, a large amount also love him for it. People view that typical tame and professional demeanor in our politicians as being dishonest and love Trump for "saying it like it is".
He's a very interesting character and I think that's what give him the cult of personality he has. He makes it very, very hard to support him a lot of the time, but I do understand why some people do. Though I think his inherently divisive nature has been awful for the country.
@@urgadurga madvillain ? At the end of the day Trump is merely a con man but you already know that your analysis was very accurate
Yo everybody - I hope everyone who reads this will give RFK Jr the time of day. He’s our last chance, perhaps our last gasp.
I’m sorry, RFK jr is a lightweight and a stooge. He is already beholden to the Israeli lobby. He would not do anything to halt the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank.
During the Yom Kippur/ Ramadan War in 1973, Israel was totally surprised by the attack from Egypt and Syria and was losing the war. Nixon-at the height of Watergate-ordered a massive airlift and re-supplied Israel. This allowed Israel to gain the Initiative. Ariel Sharon was on his way to cross the Suez canal to attack into Egypt. Nixon put the kibosh on Sharon and made him stay put in the Sinai. This ended the war without either side being victorious and led eventually to peace between Egypt and Israel.
Nixon, being a Quaker, would never tolerate the present Israeli moral turpitude. He would never allow one side to annihilate the other. RFK jr, like Biden, would.
RFK jr is a twerp.
RFK can't put two words together without making a fool of himself.
His vice-presidential choice removes him from my consideration for president.
3:50 - 4:10
Right out of the gate… Self depreciating wit.
No Teleprompter
I will never vote for any candidate that does not have wit.
If you don’t have wit, you cannot have wisdom.
