He sure liked to give it to his friends. There was a California Sparkling Wine (it can only be called Champagne if it’s from the Champagne region in France) Nixon gave to his buddies all the time. The California Sparkling Wine came from Chateau Montelena in Calistoga. That particular Sparkling Wine beat many French Champagnes in blind taste tests. Really pissed the French off. Whether he drank it or not is academic because he knew wine, he was an expert actually. He was also one helluva poker player and used his poker winnings to support him through Duke Law School. He was one dirty S.O.B. though. Some of the stuff he did even as a lawyer in Whittier, CA was really crappy. He was quite a con-man. I grew up watching Nixon’s career. He was only a “statesman” because he was such a good con-artist; legendary actually.

He is being a good host and aliwing his guest to drink first. This was when men who may have had fundamental disagreements on government they still could respect each other as good men and find common ground to build from
I am 64, and I remember Nixon when he was president. During his first term in office, he was a very popular president. During his 2nd term in office, he resigned in discrace.
I was not yet alive but my dad has a similar opinion. He'll always be grateful that Nixon ended the draft right before his number came up but Watergate was just stupid (and unnecessary).
@timothybarr8241 LBJ did worse, including spying on his political opponent Goldwater. Covered his tracks and kept his subordinates on a tight leash though.
What a time it was when presidents were REAL statesmen & diplomats, engaged in earnest, difficult, but good faith diplomacy with their counterparts among strategic competitors, & didn't resort to cheap public name calling like "rocketman", "butcher", or "dictator" when referring to the leaders of strategic competitors.
It was still just a show. Under these men and men like them the world still saw huge conflict and suffering, and several times nearly came to nuclear Armageddon. So maybe we have just cut out the middleman.
True leader of Americans who brought real stability in the world with his great quests and success of nuclear detente with Russia and China. These countries could not understand how America could let Watergate sideline one of their greatest leaders who accomplished so much with neutralizing these Communist threats who’s reason to exist was to Spreading Revolution and Communism in Capitalist countries .
What a cute, little, light, and funny bit. Measuring who got the bigger pour after they had both already taken a sip, such yuck yuck humor. I love it! If it was 1873, and not 1973, Leo and Dick could have taken that show on the road.
What’s funny is no one understands that was his way of making a joke he wasn’t serious you can tell by his exaggerated stare and lean. This is rus sense of humor.
I was thinking recently of the really sharp presidents we’ve had - for the democrats it would be Obama and Clinton. The last really smart republican president we’ve had is Nixon. All the rest were moderate intelligence, and some, well thats a different story
Obama was a good talker, but honestly, he wasn't that bright practically speaking in terms of policy making. Clinton was pretty shrewd on some things though, I have to admit.
Soviet players were given (er, ordered) intense fitness training. In those days North American hockey players slacked all summer, then just did a few days of pre-season before they faced others who were also about as ready. Surprise, the Soviets were VERY ready. They said yes to the series because they planned to embarrass the West
If Brezhnev would have he'd have had Nixon shot then and there. Those two never really saw eye to eye on anything. They always disagreed no matter the case.
Trump realizes just engaged and talk to the foreign leaders and you can work any problem out that they we have very simply it's common sense Comma nobody was talking to Korea while we're building up a military force to attack them in the event they get out of control Come on you could talk to North Korea and they will reduce their Military Prowls and start thinking about being a good country again that's how President Trump had it
MLF will scare Brezhnev... I hope he is half as scared as I! - Tom Lehrer The Multilateral Force (MLF) was an American proposal to produce a fleet of ballistic missile submarines and warships, each crewed by international NATO personnel, and armed with multiple nuclear-armed Polaris ballistic missiles. Its mission would be a nuclear defence of Western Europe against Soviet threats in the Cold War while allowing NATO members besides the U.S. to play a role in nuclear warfare. It was never implemented.
Nixon was one of the best presidents ever. He was railroaded compared to Joe Biden. It was like finding a nickel on the floor compared to stealing an armored truck
That’s a very “I lived under Stalin” thing to do
Stalin was not b made to use poison. If Stalin was ending you, you knew it. Poison is CIA and KGB thing to do, not NKVD.
That's a very "Stalin cut my dad out of photos" thing to do
I don't think the old man himself would resort to poison. He's more of a.... "straight shooter" I'd say :P
Breshnev was a not Khrushchev. He had an appreciation for Stalin, that most people of his generation had.
@@fshoapsDoesn’t mean he trusted the drinks back then

Nixon hated Champagne and only ever drank it in political scenarios where it would be perceived as rude if he refused
I don't blame him, it's an expensive headache for a slight buzz.
I don't get why people like it personally. It tastes gross. I remember literally feeling it go right to my stomach.

It could be either Russian old school suspicion or politeness to not drink first..
Ha!
Yes, that's it
The old Soviet bear was just being super polite...
nothing much has changed in Russia. even today Putin hesistate to drink first😂😂😂
This is when most of the Soviet Union was ruled and controlled by Ukrainians. Today Russia is ruled by Russians. Big difference.

Perfect assessment.
Nixon understood why,🤔❤️🇷🇺🇺🇲🦾😇
I miss the good old days, I must admit.
Nixon and brush no kept checking each other to make sure they were drinking the champagne to see if they were Both still alive after each sip😂
Turns out my favorite local restaurant/bar was Nixon's favorite. Makes us drinking buddies somehow, haha.
Love that man
President Nixon was a true statesman and a visionary.
Absolutely!😊

They obviously respect each other they rocking the same haircut
Classic
Soviet humor😂😂
Fun footage. Those classic champaign glasses.
Nixon was a Beast
Of course he waited.
He was not sure if KGB had poisoned any of the glasses...
And years later we watch Putin and Kim do the same. It's funny watching 😂
It’s a joke, they’re having a laugh. Brezhnev would play pranks on Nixon liking driving too fast.
POV: when I think my brother got more Apple juice than me
Wow, didn't hide that at all
The eyes of the guy behind is like "in which one did I put the poison?"
The Joke’s on Breshnev, Nixon wouldn’t pass on a drink even if it was poisoned!!
It's time to give Nixon his due, 50 years later
To top the joke Nixon should’ve fained being poisoned after Brezhnev had taken his sip..
Imagine if Brezhnev pretended to choke on the drink as if it was poisoned lmao
Brezhnev is 7 years older than Nixon.
No. It is cultural thing. Wait for the guest or respected dignitaries to drink before you.
Despite their differences in they end they both respected each others big ass faces and comically jumbo eye brows
The Putin and Kim edit was funny though.😂😅
Drinking a cocktail claiming he doesn't associate with people who drink cocktails LMAO.
Brezhnev preferred vodka.
I would like to know one Russian that doesn't
Now to get to the Vodka they both could put down a bottle a day.😅😅
President Nixon never shrank from confronting a. Foreign crises.
Seems like they didn't drink finally 😅😅😅
That’s funny
Oh Pat's gonna get it tonight 😂

Bro definitely did not drink it lol
Si dice che abbia fatto bere prima Nixon nel timore di essere avvelenato
I hate how the left vilified him.
Suspicion haha
Wicked funny
yup, he knows dicky can be tricky!
I wonder why he took us off the gold standard
Because it was collapsing at the time. France and others were deliberately pulling out their gold reserves to get at us.
Da Brezhnev allowed Canada Russia Summit Series
Soviet players were given (er, ordered) intense fitness training. In those days North American hockey players slacked all summer, then just did a few days of pre-season before they faced others who were also about as ready.

Even Nixon would have been revolted by the anti-Constitutional behaviour of the Coup Klutz Clown
I'm a dyed in the wool Democrat, but I kind miss Nixon
I was hoping Brezhnev was having a laugh, but I think he really was that paranoid.
nah he wasnt trying to be sneaky with the checking
Soviet humour
Only drink it if Kissinger did too...thinks Nixon.
Sadly, the CIA framed him..
The CIA loved Nixon, it was the media
❤ President L. Breznev .Jai Hind
The White House recordings of Nixon black out drunkenly raging and ranting against enemies real and perceived are pretty awesome.
How pathetic to be head of state and to be paranoid anywhere you go.
