A lot of people don’t understand that Nixon and JFK really were friends. They were congressmen together, both served in the senate together. Nixon forgot to mention another similarity: both served in the US Navy as Officers.
Spoken in 1963 under difficult circumstances, yet it can serve as lecture for us today in our own troubled times. the lesson: we can be political opponents but we need not be political enemies, We are brothers and countrymen. Ironically Nixon looked at other people as his enemies and this ultimately brought about his own downfall in later years.
@@AnthonyCatella Exactly, at the end of the day we are all Americans. It's a shame that most politicians can't remember that fact anymore.
Absolutely correct they were very good friends. One book said that Lee Harvey Oswald would have killed Nixon if he had the chance.
Every man of that age in that era had fought in WWII, so it probably was just understood as a given.
JFK actually had several calls with Nixon. Also Oswald wanted to kill Nixon 7 months before he shot Kennedy. That according to his widow
Back in the day when a politician was able to construct a coherent sentence without a teleprompter.
you're right. People can like Nixon or not, but he was a brilliant attorney and speaker and he wrote the first draft of all his own speeches, and then the pros polished it up . Same with his books, he wrote them. Unlike JFK and all the rest.
"two rights don't make a wrong" 😂😂😂 "President Johnson buried properly" 😂😂😂
bro he literally said killing JFK was 'right'
...was /allowed/ to...
(fixed that for you)
@@cobar5334 In the case of Presidents #35#36#37#38#39 they were more wrong than they were right....... President #40 was more right than he was wrong. "Two rights don't make a wrong" perfectly fitting 👌for all the Presidents,Kennedy through Carter. Those 5 all did too much wrong.
Pat looks truly heartbroken. She was a very genuine lady, and in every account that I’ve read, she was a kind and very pleasant woman. She never deserved the criticism and derision that she sometimes got.
@Greg Jacques
Well, Oliver Stone paints her as quite the victim in his movie, 'Nixon', and, as we all know, there's no bullshit in his films, right?
Even though R. Nixon has been painted with such a terrible brush through the years, some of which is fully deserved, when Pat died in 1993 it was sad to watch her husband at her funeral. With as much scorn that had been heaped upon him, he looked as crushed by her loss as any man in that circumstance I've seen. It was apparent that he had a very, very deep love for her, and her passing ripped his life to pieces.
@Greg Jacques don’t like Nixon huh? Next you’re gonna tell me that Herbert Hoover was a bad president.
@@tonybates7870 Stone is a left wing activist. His movies are just that leftist propaganda.
Was the second first lady to graduate from college (USC), Eleanor Roosevelt being the first.
I believe the way Richard Nixon handled John Kennedy's assassination, is one of the best moments of his career. He handled it with class and intelligence.
do you mean the way he handled setting the whole thing up?
@@stevefowler5970 Yeah, that's it. Save your bullshit for your fellow cult members.
@Richard Schiffman 1:39 he started to say "two rights don't make a wrong"....I think that speaks for itself....
@@stevefowler5970 Nixon could have given those comments the week before. He was in on it, and they knew Oswald was the patsy so he was 'guilty' before any investigation had even been done. Nixon was always a crook. The missing and still secret Watergate tapes discussed the assassination which he referred to as 'the thing.' George Bush helped organize it for the CIA, he was just too young to run for POTUS yet, so his dad Prescott recruited Nixon to run and then Reagan until it was George's turn. The assassination got the Republicans several terms.
@@larryroberts9092 The two biggest culprits in the assassination were the CIA and LBJ. Having said that, I definitely believe that Nixon, at the very least, knew who was behind it. Nixon possibly just went along to get along so to speak. He was in Dallas the morning of 11-22-63, but took a flight back to Washington in the morning before the assassination took place. Why was Nixon in Dallas on 11-21-63 and the morning of 11-22-63 ?? Was he really at the Murchinsons’ mansion the evening before the murder? I believe that the Watergate break-in may have been done because Nixon wanted to know what information that the leadership of the Democrat Party may have had regarding Nixon’s possible involvement and/or knowledge about the assassination. I believe it was either HR Haldeman or Hunt who said he realized that when Nixon kept talking about the Bay of Pigs files, Nixon was actually speaking of the assassination. Nixon was concerned that once Watergate was being investigated “certain parties needed to be careful regarding those Bay of Pigs files.” This was code for files regarding the JFK assassination. Perhaps Nixon’s ultimate nightmare was him being tied somehow to the assassination. Was he a planner? I think it’s more likely he just went along with it to advance his political career.
This is a lesson that both parties should learn. No matter what your differences are put it aside and work together and move America forward.
barf
The only thing the two parties can do on a bipartisan basis is fuck the country time and time again- Iraq War, Patriot Act , job outsourcing etc. so I would suggest that the 2 party system is corrupt and broken and that little progress is ever made
@Richard Espinoza: Or at least pay lip-service to "working together" & "moving America forward".
Yeah, sure...tell that to the communists.
Is this a joke? I cannot believe people don't know Nixon and LBJ were both in on killing Kennedy for political power
Nixon showed class.
Based on that kind of words given from him, I can never understand for the life of me why the mainstream media hated him so much. Very conciliatory attitude concerning language and also certainly puts Nixon in a very sympathetic light
He was an intelligent man and understood the world of politics but he was ruthless and corrupt and chose to engage in violent illegal activity to preserve his political power.
Not to mention that he always had a contentious relationship with the press ever since he was Ike's running mate. The press didn't like him because, like a true conservative, he was always playing the victim card. "Woe is me, the press is always picking on me"
Did that until he died.
@@Lethgar_Smith how was he corrupt? The only thing Watergate was initially was a break-in at Democratic headquarters to prove their corruption the crime that Nixon was gotten for was the cover-up of the break-in he was obviously not responsible for the break-in itself. Even White House counsel John Dean who pretty much signed off on the break-in without the knowledge or consent of Nixon turned tail when the heat turned up and threw those responsible under the bus....
@@eddieschwab864 What did the President know and when did he know it?
Nixon is the one who created the so-called "Plumbers" to stop leaks from within the White House. It was Nixon who offered a million dollars to the burglars in exchange for their silence. From the moment the scandal broke Nixon engaged in criminal behavior and acted more like a mob boss than a president. Not surprising considering where he came from and who he was connected to.
You know, I had these exact same arguments with knuckle heads like you back in the late 70s and into the 80s.
You are always trying to re-write history and some how dust off the moldy corpse of Tricky Dick and say, "Nixon wasn't so bad, his only crime was he got caught, that's all"
Conservatives: political corruption is not a bad thing. It is only if you get got. Or if you're a Democrat.
Otherwise it's, "Yay, our guy is more corrupt than your guy!"
@@eddieschwab864 one of the most horrifying things Nixon did was to deliberately undermine peace talks between north and south Vietnam so he could have the credit of ending the war during his own presidency. This is public record.
Nixon was possibly an actual genius and he was very shrewd in his politicking but I don’t think it’s controversial to say that he was his own worst enemy - brought down by his own ego and his own recordings
He was an outsider... like another one they hated passionately

Perhaps, but martyrdom tends to exaggerate a person's actual legacy.
When I first saw this, I thought nixon was just saying it for the cameras.
As I did more research, I found out that they actually were friends and when Nixon was chosen to be vp, Kennedy told him something along the lines of, "I knew you would get far, I just didn't expect it to be so soon"
The Nixonseven went to the Kennedys wedding, and after Kennedy died, Nixon actually wrote a letter to jackie giving his condolences from him and his wife.
Jackie thanked him and encouraged him that if he didn't give up, she in fact believed he would be president one day.
Nixon gave different accounts of his location on the day Kennedy was shot.
"...didn't expect it to be so soon." ?? Kennedy must have been unaware of the Prescott Bush fascist machine.

The hatred is much worse today.
Truly it has grown into a stalemating monster!!! America cannot stand under the division that grips us today!!!
This actually isn't just some political fluff
Dick and Jack were actually pretty good friends, dating back to '47
when i lived in dallas in 1985 i met a friend of Ruby's. He said the warren commission had questioned him and his brother because, "they talked to everyone jack had ever met." he went on to adamantly, ADAMANTLY tell me Ruby was far too unstable to be part of any conspiracy and the idea was "a joke." ruby was a super patriotic guy who had just walked up when they brought Oswald out and he thought Oswald looked smirky, proud of what he'd done. A hit man would have emptied his gun in Oswald to ensure his silence but ruby shot him once, then jumped on top of him trying to kick his ass. that's not the behavior of a hit man, it's the behavior of a enraged citizen, which is what he was.
There is a story of an incident at Jack Ruby's strip club where a cab driver dropped off a passenger at the club. The passenger told the driver he needed to go inside the club to get some change to pay for the taxi ride but then he never came back out. Eventually the driver went into the club, which was upstairs on the second floor, to confront the passenger and get his money. Apparently Ruby didn't like the cab driver coming into his club and confronting the passenger so he threw the driver down the flight of stairs. This is the behavior of someone with extreme anger management and impulse control problems. It wasn't the first time Jack had lost his temper and acted impulsively and it wouldn't be the last.
In my classes (college) I show the first Kennedy-Nixon debate. I show half the class the TV broadcast, and other half just the audio (as if it was on radio). In each group the opinion was split pretty evenly as to who won the debate, regardless of how they heard it. But many students said the same thing: "I'd have no problem voting for either of these guys." Nixon, a very complicated man...
that's a very interesting and appropriate definition of Nixon, ' a very complicated man'. That he was. The news media did everything they could to
destroy him. To mock and ridicule him. I think history will be kinder to him, he deserved better than what he got

I love how they already determined that Oswald was guilty and people wonder why there's conspiracy theories.
Yeah, innocent til proven guilty right..not for the LHO, the one who didn't shoot a soul that day.
@@Gigi1111LaynaThere’s always one that doesn’t do basic research into what Oswald really was,dear me…
President Nixon was a great orator. Here again he chooses the perfect words for a tragic time.
Years later, President Nixon would begin bringing significant numbers of troops home from Vietnam, take the first steps at ending the Cold War and establish relations with China 🇨🇳.
correct....in 3 years Nixon removed most of the 535,000 American troops that JFK and LBJ sent to Vietnam in the EIGHT years they were Presidents, from 1961 to 1969,,,,NIXON ended the war in Vietnam

Biggest mistake was taking us off gold standard
"Two rights don't make a ... " the ultimate Freudian slip.
My exact thought
Get your mind out of the gutter...Nixon was respectful.
I was 12years old when Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas. I feel so sad. He is adored by so many in India at that time. I had recently visited the Texas school book depositary museum, paid tributes to the great man.
I think he was genuine in his comments but the politician in him was thinking "Im back in the game now"
@Matt Joseph At this exact moment he was much closer to his defeat in the California Governor's race (Nov. 1962) than he was to running for the White House again.
@Matt Joseph LBJ's decision not to run for re-election in 68 was a surprise. Nixon probably thought the 68 election would be between himself and LBJ, not RFK. RFK ran in 68 only because LBJ had lost popularity due to Vietnam. Nixon could not have predicted that in 63.
@@AB-ct3kj Nixon really was salivating the chance to take on Johnson in a one-on-one battle in ‘68. Now THAT would have been interesting. Nixon was actually very worried about going up against Bobby Kennedy, knowing first hand the Kennedy election tactics.
@@TravelinBand747 You could be right! Though LBJ had his own election tactics.
There are people who think that LBJ actually wanted Nixon to defeat Humphrey, as Nixon's ideas on Vietnam were closer to LBJ's than Humphrey's were. We may never know the truth.
You're probably right. Nixon, I think, was in private law practice at the time. When he lost the CA governor's race to Pat Brown in 1962, he angrily withdrew from politics and vented his liver to the media saying "you won't have Nixon to kick around anymore." After the assassination, Nixon got more involved in politics. He campaigned vigorously in 1966 for Republican candidates, buying favor with them. Like most people, he figured Johnson would be elected easily in 1964, less than a year after assassination, regardless of who Republicans ran. With Johnson's drop in popularity due to Vietnam, Republicans saw a chance in 1968, and Nixon cashed in all those political IOU's and won nomination. He thought he was going to run against Johnson, but Johnson withdrew, then Bobby Kennedy is assassinated leading him to run against Humphrey, WILD TIMES.
By the way, and not that pertinent to this discussion, the guy who beat Nixon in 1962 met his political end four years later against Ronald Reagan. Reagan blew Pat Brown to the moon, and the rest as they say, is history.
Great Video! Love it!
Interesting that he said Oswald deserved a trial, but declared him guilty in the same breath.
not just interesting, but disgraceful
You liberals are so f-ing stupid it’s really scary. He did NOT say Oswald deserved to die. He said “the man responsible” for killing the president deserved to die. Learn how to listen morons. You have a bright future at CNN.
i thought his abstraction was quite clear
Nixon accidentally refers to the assassination of Kennedy and Oswald as two rights.
Something about Pat Nixon is very striking here
What are you referring to? Jackie did say Pat was pretty in a New York kind of way.
@@lavievintagerose I didn’t think she was, but, their daughter Julie was very attractive.
@@Melinda8162 When they initially met, Nixon pursued his wife, and refused to take no for an answer. He was sure she was the one.
@@lavievintagerose Pat Nixon had a quiet dignity about her.
Both Nixon and Johnson wanted to be President real bad but Nixon wasn’t willing to kill for it

If you didn’t know, this is what Nixon said according to Roger Stone

Have you seen UPI's Robert Altgens panoramic pic of the assassination?
Mr. Altgens was standing in front of the Presidential Limousine.
You can see the President has been hit and Mrs. Kennedy is holding the President's left forearm as the President is clutching at his throat.
Agent Clint Hill hasn't reacted and is looking at Mrs. Kennedy.
To the extreme right, you can see Vice-President Johnson's light coloured Limousine and he isn't visible but Mrs. Lady Bird Johnson is!
It's very obvious Vice-President Johnson ducked!
Note: Go to Google and see the photo for yourself.
Even in his mind, Oswald was the killer; no trial just guilty. 🤯🤯
Two rights don't make a wrong, they make an upside down "u" in some cases... and thanks for the footage! I was curious to hear his statements. :-)
I don't get why some think Nixon was behind Kennedy's death. Yeah, they were rivals, but it wasn't heated like Johnson and the Kennedys. They respected each other, which the wafer-thin election of 1960 showcased. Had JFK lived, RFK wouldn't have run for president. He was motivated by his brother's career being unfinished, much like how Jack got into politics because the oldest brother died in war. Nixon, if he was chosen, would probably have gone up against Eugene McCarthy or Hubert Humphrey. While a flawed man for so long, it was eight years of embitterment which magnified his flaws, leading to him destroying himself over a third rate burglary
well, Nixon was busy working with USSR and China trying to end the 8 year long Vietnam war that he inherited from Kennedy and Johnson, So he ignored his re-election campaign and he did not know what tricks his underlings were up to. The burglary flopped, and Nixon was vaguely aware that the legal expenses and family expenses of the burglars were being paid by the campaign, which was perfectly legal. The Establishment-owned press hated Nixon because as a young Congressman, he had exposed Roosevelt's aide Alger Hiss as a Soviet Agent,,,Hiss was a darling of the Establishment, a well-connected WASP who had been the chairman of the United Nations' organizing committee. So the Establishment press worked with the Democrat leadership to pin the blame on Nixon.
Nixon was bitter because he knew forces conspired to steal 1960 election from himbut he respected and was professional with Kennedy. His paranoia led to Watergate breakin which was totally stupid because Nixon breezed to re-election.
He was in Dallas on the day, and the day before,
where he turned up at the famous party
where everyone was there.
from LBJ, Hoover, and every wealthy right-wing Texan they had.
I believe it was the FBI involvement in that burglary that destroyed President Nixon... because he said to the wrong people that he knew who was responsible for the assassination of JFK!!!
That guy is reasonable.
He should be President.
um
Nothing could possibly go wrong
That didn't age well...
He becomes president later 8 years later
Two rights make 180-degrees!

Oswald was never going to get that. He knew enough to prove his innocence, as did Jack Ruby

Well said. Now so many years later, people have forgotten that they were friends.
This reminds me of the reaction of politicians who were shocked about the murder on Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn in 2002 in The Netherlands.
First they hated the guy but after the event they are so much full of praise.
Kennedy was never really hated. He had a 60% approval at the time of his death, and he was a conservative Democrat. The polarization had shown some early signs during Kennedy's tenure, but it didn't really start until after LBJ was elected.
Maybe he was thinking this could have been me if I had been elected. Perhaps it is better that I had lost the 60 election ?

@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT True; Nixon would not have been assassinated for the reasons you listed .

And maybe Mao may be deposed altogether in China..

Just an honest mistake lol
Just a coincidence... Why would he harbor any resentment to JFK? 🤔
He knew
Nixon was at the Clint Murchison residence the night before the assassination with LBJ and a whole host of other political enemies of JFK, and HW Bush the next day was the CIA's coordinator on the ground in Dealy Plaza for the assassination. He was actually there with his son, W. Bush, and when the local police brought HW to the police station he left his now confused son W back at Dealy Plaza on his own, with no game plan. There are pictures folks on the internet of both being there. Do your research, and stay away from the MSM! By the way, Gerry Ford facilitated the coverup in Congress. Guess what? 5 of the next 8 Presidents knew all about it, or were actually there or both!
Nixon must have been briefed by J. Edgar Hoover to refer to Oswald as "the man who was guilty ". The Warren Commission had not been assembled yet.
It's stunning how many people on this forum didn't listen with both ears open.
Yes in deed, Hoover had dirt on every politician in DC, he had to or someone would have spilled the beans about him prancing around in high heels and granny panties…… 😬
It was a farce . the vietnam war was going to make arms dealers filthy rich. Along with other powerful people in the loop .jfk did not want to go to war in vietnam and it pissed a lot of people off . they set up oswald and ruby . some one had to be sacrificed . typical cia dirty tricks
If it puts Nixon's tendency to "shot from the hip" in perspective, there was a press conference where he declared Charles Manson guilty, while his trial was going on, and Charlie snuck (yes, it's a word) a newspaper in with that headline and showed it in the court room.
as CBS backed three mos before release as wally Conkrite concretely said 7.65 Mauser original involve dgun shells found for two days
A good and articulate Man. I'm ashamed of how I thought of him most of my life.
When Oswald was shot on TV, Nixon immediately recognized the shooter. “That’s Jack Ruby,” he said. Ruby was a nut, but he was also a CIA contractor who was known by insiders. Maybe JFK knew him too.
"The assassination of the assassin ".
"Two Rights Don't Make A Wrong I Mean..".

Well said.
Nixon very eloquently stated the only public statements that could be expressed, but he knew exactly what happened, since he was present the night before in the infamous preassassination meeting at Clint Murchison's mansion in Dallas.
If Roger Stone is accurate then The comments made after 1;20 are typical of a politician. Stone claimed when Nixon saw Ruby on tv that Nixon knew LBJ had a part since Ruby had been referred to Nixon as a witness in Senate hearings in the 50's by LBJ.
That's very interesting.

Kennedy and Nixon were the Perfect Example of Politicians. They were Political Adversaries, but, Close And Personal Friends, Politics Aside. It showed in The Debates of 1960. I'm Sad that, Nowadays, Politicians do not Follow Suit.
"Two rights don't make a wrong" You got that right, Tricky Dick!
"Two Rights make....."
He never talked about the assassination. He only talked about Oswald.
ALL HE WAS THERE FOR WAS TO PUSH THE COMPANY LINE PLANTING THE OSWALD SEED IN YOUR MIND LIKE A LOYAL SOLDIER DOES
james mooney he was asked about Oswald. he also stated that he would not repeat his prior comments, presumably, more in depth about the assassination.
@@jerryboucher5622 Yep. Nixon knew what to do.
Oswald was not the assassin. He was the alleged assassin
As we know today, just like he said then, Oswald WAS the Patsy.
Right, because we should believe the word of a double murderer.
@@marks.7992No, Even RFK junior knows it was much deeper than one shooter and he, along with millions of others, seriously doubt that Oswald had anything to do with it.
Nixon was in Dallas on the morning of Nov. 22 for a board meeting
Pay tribute to a gallant warrior. Well said President Nixon.
I must admit slight discomfort and it shows in this old footage. Put it to you all this way...there was obviously some funky shit going down here. Joan Crawford was to do a presentation for the Pepsi Bottlers and we were added to it roughly a week before this, which was not anticipated.
Have you no decency sir? At long last?

Nice job, Mr. Nixon.
Anyone else notice that the voice tones and speech structure are different then they are now? Let’s see who truly understands the new world.
Keep in mind when he spoke in Indianapolis the knight of Martin Luther Kings assassination, there was not any rioting. Many American cities were in flames after that tragedy!!!
Nixon at least knew how to be respectful. 🇺🇸💐
Being an accessory will make one act that way in public
@@Nashalbeth none?
@@Nashalbeth all due respect to your alma mater, you’ll excuse me if I see a connection between this and watergate, read into “the whole bay of pigs thing “ reference, allegedly being at Clint murchison’s party the evening before, and infer things based on his connections to e Howard hunt, jack ruby, and Prescott bush.
He knew before the fact, and by complacence in the absence of honor, he too is guilty after the fact.
Nixon was in Dallas on November 22,1963
So was Lyndon Johnson
RFK, had just won the California primary, so he had a great deal of momentum going forward. Therefore, I respectfully disagree with you. He would have United the Democratic party and would have ended our tragic involvement in the Vietnam war!!!
Hubert H. Humphrey had the Democratic nomination sewed up with a majority of delegates from states that did not hold primaries. LBJ still carried great influence over the party structure and would have seen to it that RFK did not get nominated. The party would have been split going into the general election campaign. Nixon still would have won it. RFK's assassination was tragic but he would not have been the Democratic nominee in 1968. Had the tragic event of his assassination not taken place, I think RFK would have passed on 1972 because McGovern re-wrote the rules on delegate selection, and Nixon would have had the upper hand as the incumbent, shaping events. 1976 would have been far more realistic and favorable for RFK, when the country after Vietnam and Watergate would have turned to a reformer. I think RFK would have picked Jimmy Carter as his running-mate to carry the South. Just my thoughts.
Jay Rosen easier said than done.
he wasn't about to be saddled with the weight of being the reason for a communist victory.
@@thewatchdog9541 RFK would have won in 1968 and beat Nixon just like brother Jack did in 1960.
@@Brockashocka Not saying Bobby was a bad person, but LBJ was vindictive towards RFK. It would have been interesting the impact Wallace's presence would have had on the race. I do think, though, had RFK survived the assassination with minor wounds, then, yes, he would have defeated Nixon. Sad our country missed out on the potential of a RFK presidency.
I’ve read some alternate universe scenarios if RFK had lived. One being that he would of lost to Nixon in 68’ not run in ‘72, Nixon still gets caught up on watergate abs resigns in August of “74 with Ford finishing out his term but losing to RFK in 76’ With Jimmy Carter as his VP, winning again in ‘80 with Carter still as VP. Then after Kennedy’s 2 terms are up Carter runs vs.Reagan in ‘84 with Reagan winning and serving only 1 term until ‘88 and then everything gets back on Track with VP Bush winning the ‘88 election abs only serving 1 term until
‘92. So on that scenario Jimmy Carter is never president, only VP.
Nixon looks very happy. Pat too.
WOW!! Nixon's wife looks EXACTLY like the actress that played her in the 1994 film NIXON....it's uncanny how much she looks like her..
Before so many politicians came to believe that making the loudest, cheapest, simplest, substance-free public comments would help them win or hold power, or before they lost the ethics and decency to restrain themselves in the public interest.
He was at Clint Murcheson's mansion the night before............so was LBJ....... HL Hunt..........
Tricky Dicky was at it again.
Nope, nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
Wink wink, nudge nudge.
Nixon knew.
Only if the words of Madeline Brown, an advertising executive to be believed.
The claims don't hold up very well, since Johnson wasn't even in Texas the night before & Nixon was at bottlers. Heck Clint Murchison himself hadn't been to his Dallas House for years.
Nixon's declaration given 2 days after the JFK assassination that Lee H. Oswald was "guilty and deserved to die" seems to be a rather premature statement, especially coming from a lawyer who should know the legal requirement to prove guilt under the justice system. However, this would be consistent with an information campaign to ensure the public was convinced that LHO was the lone assassin. Also could the "two rights" have been a Freudian slip?
Exactly! You nailed it!
Yes! He knew lbj had his hand in it and was counting on him to screw up ‘Nam for the ‘68 win
He was in on it.
In his book he talks about it
1:40 Nixon: "two rights don't make it wrong" - Freud would have a ball!
Cut the crap. You aren't clever. You sound like a blithering idiot
I've heard several people screw it up, not uncommon.
"Two Rights Don't Make a Wrong...I mean..." Ha ha wow talk about a Freudian Slip
👍🤔
1960 was Nixon vs Kennedy. If you can, watch their debates then compare it to the debate between Biden and Trump. Nothing illustrates better how far this country has regressed.
Yes President Nixon - two wrongs dont make a right.
"Two rights don't make a wrong" Never a truer word said 😂
Unfortunately, sometimes two rights do make a wrong. In late 2019, 194 rights are making a terrible, outrageous wrong in America.
@@acricucci9760
Unclear what you're talking about, but he said "two rights" *not* 194.
1:41 two rights don't make a wrong???
Notice no crocodile tears or hand wringing. Just real men getting on with it
But Oswald did not kill JFK!
You know things are bad when old recordings of Richard Nixon make him seem like a statesman.
@Alex From Boston All true, but Nixon did a tremendous amount of damage to the public's trust in government with the Watergate coverup. We are still feeling the repercussions of that today. To be fair, even Jimmy Carter looks capable compared to Joe Biden.
Nixon never mentioned Oswald's killer, Jack Rubinstein of Chicago, who according to FBI documents, in 1947 worked for California U.S. Representative Nixon in the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Rubinstein, before shortening his name to Ruby, also worked for the Chicago mob.
I know that's right. The web of deception & how they are all connected are profound.

At the time of the assassination Ruby was still under control of the mob.
Always liked him -- and the entire Nixon family. Have done
so much for America.
Selflessly.
now let that be the end of the whole bay of pigs thing
Nixon the paranoid was an analyst on even his own thoughts, so he always spoke haltingly, wanting to select just the right word, and if he tried to go quick or off the cuff for even one phrase, out came a gaffe, like "Two rights don't make a wrong, err..."
And he was habitually analysing everyone and everything else in the room while he was talking, so he couldn't help but appear to be shifty-eyed, because suppressing peripheral information to stare straight at the camera was at odds with his basic thought pattern. I've met a few like that, including in my mirror.
I don't speak that way, but I write that way, it usually takes me 15 minutes just to pop out a random TH-cam comment. Thus I get why Dicky always sounded tricky, even when he had done the right thing. Then whenever he was guilty, he could never convince the nation to accept his lame excuse by opening his mouth. That talent of smooth speech focussed directly at the camera, no matter the facts, was mastered by somebody named Clinton. Surprisingly both men were re-elected. Not surprisingly I had to edit this once, err, twice.
Nixon often dread meeting the new people.
Err.. beautifully stated! I still like Dick Nixon, to this day, I’ve visited his museum in Yorba Linda 4 times, lots of interesting bits of history to read and learn there.
I'd vote for him over who we've got today!!!
And I am not a crook.
"Read my lips. I did not have sex with Marilyn like those guys."
How did Nixon assume Oswald was guilty in the 1st place when he wasn't??
@James Barlow Oh, a go with the flow for down the road.. Got it.
I agree this was an assumption and goes against the principle of innocent until proven guilty. However, do you have any views on whatever happened to the curtain rods? Not a big issue right? However, LHO was missing from the afternoon roll call at the TSBD. And Buell Frazier, the guy who gave him and the package the ride into work that day witnessed LHO leave and walk away from the TSBD after the shooting. This is insufficient evidence to convict anyone. But the palm print on the assassination weapon? Interesting!
Jim Leavelle told LHO that there would be forensics on the Smith & Wesson pistol in LHO's possession at the time of his arrest and bullets that killed J.D.Tippett that would link the two. (They did) Oswald's only comment was "then you are going to have to do that" meaning that rather than simply fess up, he was going to make the Police work for their evidence. But granted, Richard Nixon could not have been aware of any of this.
@@roberthorwat6747 Oswald's pistol was defective & Ruby was the one who gave it to him therefore no Tippett murder & no JFK killing either & many others left the building after the Grassy Knoll area shots killed JFK. Man he was set up & manipulated to the max no matter how innocent he was!
@@edwardanthony7283 any thoughts on Helen Markham and Jack Tatum? The eyewitnesses who saw LHO shoot Tippett? And William Scoggins, Barbara and Virginia Davis, who saw him flee? And the six others who saw him within two blocks of the murder scene brandishing a pistol then trying to conceal it?
@@roberthorwat6747 mistaken for another. Oswald's pistol was defective with the jammed firing pin & would & could not Shoot! He was set up & rather well considering how many fell for it!
