Perhaps from a finer era of gentleman...just saying. Are today's journalists gentleman or gentlewomen? No. And in other professions, you can observe the same type of degradation, loss of manners and refinement
@@coreycox2345 i know what you mean, but shaw is gentlemanly overall as a person. Our society lost this precisely due to cable television perhaps. Shows like jerry springer, mtv, low brow sitcoms and movies etc.
See, this is something you gotta respect about Nixon. When the topic of the Gulf War is brought up, and Nixon gives his opinion on what should become of someone like Hussein, it obviously opens up the conversation to bring into question things like assassinations and tough military decisions - an element that Shaw takes advantage of to present to Nixon (which he should be commended for himself, as these are things that would come to anyone's mind, and many journalists depending on whose being interviewed and whatever agenda there might be would try to steer away from such things). Nixon directly answers the question, and addresses difficult moral dillemmas that come with it (i.e. why he feels Hussein's elimination wouldn't make a martyr out of him whilst he feels doing similar things would make martyrs out of other leaders). Not only does he do that, but he shares a thought process that is rooted in realism, and even if one doesn't agree with the conclusions reached by such assessments, they can at the very least understand and respect the reasoning behind them. This is something that previous interviews with Nixon have shown to be a consistent characteristic of his. A willingness to be presented with the difficult questions, answer the questions as they were presented without maliciously veering off to answer something that wasn't actually asked, and expand upon the rational and hard to understand conditions that drove his stances. This is conduct that should be the standard for anyone who is a statesman, and it is an example that shamefully many powers that be in our time do not take to heart.
And the media was coherent, intelligent, fair, and impartial as well. Bernard Shaw was great but 95% of them were all the same. Professionals and not HACKS with an agenda. And it's not gonna get better. This country is nearing the end of the line. And it saddens me to say that but we all know it and feel it regardless of what political side we sit on....
@@coreycox2345 yeah and I always assumed or connected Kennedy with the moon landing, yet the phone call from Neil Armstrong to the president was President Nixon.
@@olympictinsel680 I would encourage need to look at Watergate as Nixon's thesis. He was more about discovering if the president could do wrong and he brought it to the forefront.

Mr. Nixon was a sharp, intelligent, and decent fellow with a huge analytic capability. Similarly, the journalist was excellent, classic, and substantial with the added bonus of being handsome too.
Do see a few of the comments are hating on Nixon, yes i felt that way about him in my youth. But ,seeing him in these interviews, think he h Generally came across as intelligent and informed, overall,I would take Nixon over just about ANY of the pols in DC today, Dems or REPS
They certainly were exceptional in the 80s and early 90s, a consummate news organization. They really went downhill and deviated from their former greatness.
Wow: the fall of the Soviet Union (as it was happening), Iraq, China, a (then) potentially nuclear North Korea. It was like a preview of the next thirty some years.
I wonder if you have any footage or comments or the transcript for the meeting on the Edit: "Tiananmen" Square Massacre (1989) and Richard Milhous Nixon's reaction to it.
Remember the time here. This is in response to Saddams invasion of Kuwait and the war is sparked. There was an enormous alliance including Arab states like Syria, that drove Saddam out of Kuwait. Saddam was responsible for two very large wars where he invaded neighbors and attacked other, a lot of people felt he should have been taken out
I respect Nixon and love listening to him. Nevertheless, in retrospect I think we need to question the wisdom of removing someone like Hussein; not, of course, because he's a great guy (he wasn't), but the question is always who and what appears in his place.
He got out Americans out of Vietnam and established a wedge between the Soviets and the Chinese - Clinton humiliated the Soviets by standing up, Yeltsin and humiliating the new Russia as to drive them into a tacit alliance with the Chinese - Clinton is the incompetent foreign relations president who's lack of grand strategy lingers today.
lol Nixon was sitting there the entire time thinking…”this N isn’t smart enough to conduct this interview. Why didn’t he get locked during my war on crime.”
I guarantee you not and a Sammy Davis Jr were alive he would tell you what Nixon is all about. Nixon converted Sammy Davis Jr and invited him and his swedish wife to sleep in the Lincoln room at the White House.
Bernard Shaw was an excellent interviewer and debate moderator. He’s from a finer era of journalism.
Totally agree
What a legend

Thank you! A rare Nixon interview which I haven't seen before.
Great interview. Incidentally, today is the second anniversary of the passing of the legendary CNN anchor, Bernard Shaw 1940-2022.
Thanks. I was just wondering.
His death didn’t attract much media attention, as right after his death was announced Queen Elizabeth II died
Wow 2raw posting here.

Met Bernard Shaw at Union Station many years ago, a true and kind gentleman. A true journalist interviewing an amazing President. Both are missed!
Wow! An actual interview with thoughtful questions and answers. God bless them both
back in the days when Presidents and ex Presidents were coherent and intelligent people

I think you are implying that Trump is incoherent and ignorant.
I love Nixon - about a year ago I ranked him 4th in the top of best Presidents.
Same here. I hated him when I was young but never heard him interviewed. I blamed him for the war, @elimaurer9491.
@@coreycox2345 yeah and I always assumed or connected Kennedy with the moon landing, yet the phone call from Neil Armstrong to the president was President Nixon.
I think if it weren't for Watergate, he'd be remembered more fondly. He achieved some good things that have been overshadowed.

You've got to be joking...
Back when CNN was actually a news outlet.
Correct
Mr. Nixon was a sharp, intelligent, and decent fellow with a huge analytic capability. Similarly, the journalist was excellent, classic, and substantial with the added bonus of being handsome too.
It's astonishing how eloquently Nixon speaks
These interviews are valuable. Despite his mistakes!
We can only wish to have such an intelligent and articulate president now. Nixon was a great leader.

Before CNN became a clown news network
In other words CNN: C=Communist N=News N=Network 😮
And in the 90’s it was the CNN: C=Clinton N=News N=Network 🤪
Your whole country is a clown.
President Nixon’s memory for world events and how it all worked, is second to none.
Rest In Peace President Nixon And Bernard Shaw
Bless WW 2 veteran President Nixon
When CNN was excellent
They certainly were exceptional in the 80s and early 90s, a consummate news organization. They really went downhill and deviated from their former greatness.
The most underrated President of American history, Nixon=10000×（Bush+Obama+Trump+Biden）
Even late in his life, Nixon remained a superior thinker!
Cool.

President Nixon is a paradox but I admire his knowledge, wit and ability to assess situations and display resolutions...
Saddam committed his worst crimes while the U.S. supported him.
A rare gem of a statesman.
nobody interrupting each other and on that metric its easy to give a 90% score.
1:55 what about Tammy Faye?
Back when CNN had real journalists...simply unwatchable today.
Interesting to see an interview from two men now passed on.
Very interesting interview that reveals a huge paradigm prior to Clinton
I wonder if you have any footage or comments or the transcript for the meeting on the Edit: "Tiananmen" Square Massacre (1989) and Richard Milhous Nixon's reaction to it.
Didn't Nixon give the greenlight to eliminate Salvador Allende in Chile 1973?
Our greatest President.
Its weird to see politicians answer questions
Everett high school Cnn 1991
"Bush is a shoe in ... unless there's a recession." Yep.
If the Shah Pahlavi could did the same as Saddam to the Islamic extremists, then he wouldn't be overthrowned by Khomeini
I’m surprised that Nixon thought getting rid of Saddam Hussein was a good idea. When the US did in 2003 it plunged Iraq into chaos.

To be fair this is in response to Saddams invasion of Kuwait and a war he started
This man was living in the future. Even though unfortunately liberal and evil, a very smart protestant.
I have to disagree with President Nixon on sanctioning hits. I believe it was the premiere of South Vietnam that Johnson had taken out.
Why is Kramer's lawyer interviewing Dick Nixon?
Haha good one
This is outrageous, egregious, preposterous!! 🤨
I love Nixon but he was wrong about Hussein.
I"m Iranian and I disagree
Very erudite
yes!
How about Trump?- Is there a difference?😮

I will have to disagree with Nixon on Hitler though, none of the stuff "they" said he did ever happened.
Come on Richard, you don't know s*** about Saddam Hussein
What the hell is with the interviewer ? He looks like he is trying to get into a fight with Pres. Nixon. Shameful behavior !
What in the world are you talking about? Shaw is fair and is not overly abrasive with his questioning.
You must be one soft and sensitive individual if you think the interviewer is being aggressive here
What interview did you watch??
I didn’t see what you saw. Shaw was an actual journalist and was exceptional in his role, which is more than I can say for his colleagues.
