- From 1990 to 2015, this film played in the orientation theater of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, California.
A production of The Richard Nixon Foundation.
Here is a man that had access to the VIP box seats at sporting events but he wanted to always be in the stands...with the people. Humble man
The clip of him at the Giants game (24:05) was pretty cool. Can you imagine sitting adjacent to him? I'd have invited him to a postgame tailgate party.
Oh, he was always in the stands? How humble. If only his foreign policy were as humble instead of expanding the Vietnam war and committing war crimes by attacking Cambodia, a neutral, sovereign nation. Maybe you shouldn't judge presidents by inconsequential attempts to make themselves appear as "one of the people," but rather by their policies. Otherwise, you will keep electing clowns like Trump.
Nixon's policies were top-notch. He got us OUT of Vietnam. He thawed relations with the USSR and China. Schools were integrated. He proposed a universal health care plan. Dogged by Watergate, he will never get the credit he deserves. He was a brilliant man.
Reed Rothchild, top-notch? Like how he illegally bombed Cambodia and committed war crimes that led to the rise of Khmer Rouge and the subsequent genocide? He should have been executed for that alone. But I guess U.S. is immune when it comes to genocide. www.jacobinmag.com/2015/04/khmer-rouge-cambodian-genocide-united-states/
That's right. One of the great men of the 20th Century. The good FAR outweighed the bad with Nixon. Definitely a top president of the 20th Century. Reagan was a good one, too, but more hawkish.
President Nixon was a Hero
I totally agree!!!
His story is really amazing. The extreme highs and lows in his career were very uncommon. So brilliant and humble is some ways. So lacking in morals and unable to relate in others. All of his accomplishments as president of course are overshadowed by Watergate. And his comeback as an elder statesman was a testament to him. His life is worth the study.
That is true!
The finest president we have ever had. His courage and strength inspired millions. I will always remember him with the fondness if memories and miss him greatly.
Brilliant leader with vision. His successes should not be obliqued by a foolish second rate burglary. Historians and those who studied the era know better.
@@JL03241 do they really know better? 🙄
No other President had such a mastery of Foreign Affairs as President Nixon. As a Pakistani ‘ I can only express my great admiration for this supremely gifted man who saved my country in 1971. He will always be remembered fondly by all for standing for us despite the criticism that he faced. A truly great man.
I wish he was still here. 👍✌️✌️
He would be 107 years old today
Amen!
From the standpoint of a history student, he was a splendid man!

@@BasedRichardNixon it was Lmaoo no president breaks in to doors lol
Splendid is a real stretch… He was actually quite disgusting… Expanding the Vietnam war into Cambodia, which led to millions of deaths… He was quite shabby - paranoid and self-destructive. He assured him a cynicism that we still are living with today towards government.
@@MFK1967 He desegregated Southern schools, ended the War in Vietnam with honour while aiding South-Vietnam's independence and that 1972 election was something special. As for Cambodia, he did not expand the war the communists did that. Same with China coming into Korea.
@@MFK1967based
One of the last of the presidents who a normal person could truly relate to.
Can a “normal “person relate to a man who is this cutthroat and ambitious? Maybe so… But there was nothing normal aboit Richard Nixon.
@@MFK1967 He was every bit normal as another. He was a political man.
Richard Nixon was one great president, one of the best in America's history. He was a truly great man.
Watergate was as significant as it was only because Nixon was a genuinely good man. If he was as crooked as many others, he would have completed his term.
He was great for America, and absolutely for the world.
He was a great president in my opinion and he never should have resigned. I miss him and wish he were here today. RIP RN
President Richard Milhouse Nixon a hero !!! The media wanted him out for no reason we know about Watergate it was a mistake he made and the people around him! We all make mistakes but he overcame that and President Nixon has become one of most beloved leaders and this country's greatest Presidents He was a great man !!! I could listen to the President all day and never get tired of President Richard Nixon and his speeches He cared about the United States and it's people one of the greatest leader's of the free world!!!! We miss you Mr. PRESIDENT! !!!
In so many of the videos you can see his genuine excitement and gratitude towards his success.
Yes he was/is a racist POS.
@@power966 Lol, Nixon is nowhere near the worst in that regard.
Happy he recognised Pats hard work.
Sadly, he also beat her
I have been to Richard Nixon Library two times. I must say that he was a great president who put the interest of America on first. Of course, the Watergate could not be forgotten. But in my aspect, Nixon should be remembered for every achievement what he did to this country in order to build a better nation. RIP Richard Nixon.
Now, I want to visit the Nixon Library!
Great video of a great man!
I Love Richard M. Nixon, A man that never gave up, Miss him dearly the best way to measure a tree is when its been cut down, the same when we look back on this mans life. He always arose to the aid to make a difference in peoples lives not only here in America but encouraged peoples around the world to not give up, A true hero
I love him. He’ll always be my favorite President.
brilliant n absolutely fearless man, one of the greatest president in the 20th century. As an Aussie we loved and admired him for the great work he did for peace and his great strength to overcome n fight on. Loved his brilliant speech at Oxford.
Hastings4 ur fucking buggin
The work he did for peace? Like expanding the Vietnam war into Cambodia and the death of millions of people?
A better man and leader than people give him credit for.
Richard Nixon, could've gone down as one of the greatest American Presidents!
He does. When people learn about Nixon, they learn just how truly great he was. Man of the people. No President during the late 20th or 21st century had better foreign policy. Reagan comes close, but I would definitely say that Nixon's policies helped Reagan. Extremely brilliant man.
Have you heard of Watergate
@Ty Calvert
Meh. Kinda overblown. So he listened in on a meeting
Yeah, America suffered and was worse off just because some journalists wanted a hot scoop. It really was a case of where the "Press" was the enemy of America. Corrupt and money grubbing the press does not care about what is right or wrong, they just want power, money and fame.
He has gone down as such - at least in the eyes of those who tuned out the historical bias and studied the immense accomplishments of this giant. The world is a better place because of his service.
A great man and a great president!
Presidential libraries are always lopsided... but I do like this man, especially from a personal point of view. He does represent reinventing oneself and never giving up...
Nixon's resignation speech to his staff is one of the greatest, most honorable of all time. He was a great man who fell on the sword for the sins of others. He could have went down as one of the greatest presidents. He chose a different path, the path presidents like Clinton and trump didn't. He chose dignity and what was best for America rather than himself. Like T.R. he was truly a man in the arena, sometimes right, sometimes wrong, but he was a man.
He is one of the greatest presidents this country ever had!
Care to elaborate what Trump did to YOU??👎🏻👎🏻
A great President! We need a man like him today.
I get sad every time I think about how Watergate destroyed one of our greatest presidents.
He really was not that great a president he had some accomplishments but his whole presidency was covered In corruption lies and paranoia
Sorry Sloop. But he was a crook.!!!
@@fashfront he was bad but not that bad
@@fashfront yeah what he did was wrong… but it is normal compared to today
Watergate didn't happen to him. He was an active participant in the coverup.
It was a remarkable moment in history when Kennedy won the 1960 election, because we needed Nixon much, much more in 1968 and 1972, when he won. No president who served after him has achieved as much as he achieved while in office and after. Would that we had such a man of courage and conscience among us today!
1960 was such a close race. Both men were meant to be POTUS.
@@deb310red Kennedy won with HALF A PERCENT more of the popular vote. As lesser, more desperate man would've demanded a recount. But, Nixon knew the Electoral College's votes were what mattered - and they were overwhelming for JFK. Nixon handled the loss with grace and accepted it. Eight years later it was a different story, of course.
Trump is such a man. But don't take my word for it Do yr own Credible Research bcz his legacy is actually ASTONISHING A RECORD UNPRECEDENTED A LEGACY UNMATCHED 🐎🐎🐎🇭🇲🇺🇸
@@blueponypics4112 I agree! He made history. No other president will EVER be able to boast about his achievements: nationwide race riots, businesses failing at an unimaginable rate, historic unemployment, the collapse of the economy, and 400,000 dead Americans due to incompetent and arrogant bungling of a pandemic.
Trump accomplished SO much! I mean, when he was elected the Republican party controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House. Two years later, they lost the House. Two years after that, the White House AND the Senate.
Best of all, Trump built his "big, beautiful wall," Mexico paid for it, Obamacare was "immediately" replace by something better and cheaper that now covers everyone, America's crumbling infrastructure was repaired, and genuine patriots including the Q-Anon Shaman smashed into the Capital building, vandalized it, and literally spilled blood within its walls. People were killed.
America WAS made great - again!
Fare the well, Old Bone Spurs. We were blessed to have you as our Commandant in Chief. We'll never see your like again! 😭
@@TheStockwell The economy was saved pre covid 19.america was in the best economic shape it had ever been in. Trump DID NOT CAUSE THE VIRUS OR IT'S UNPRECEDENTED LOSS. try to read a no.

TRY TO READ AND LISTEN TO THE VIEWS OF THE OPPOSITION JUST FOR THE EXERCISE !JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT! SEE IF U DON'T FIND A POINT OF VIEW YOU HAVEN'T SWORN TO DISCREDIT OR VILLIFY JUST BECAUSE! 🐎🐎🐎🇭🇲🇺🇸
Nixon was underrated!
So proud of CA chosen son!!! His life story is inspirational. Came from nothing and made it to the top with sheer will and intelligence!
Although I disagreed with much of his international policies. He was the greatest of the U.S. presidents.
That's interesting. Because I always thought international relations and foreign policy was his greatest strength. His opening to China brought the US a lot of prosperity and divided the communist bloc. He was friends with the Shah and put the Arab-Israeli war to a quick rest, despite his lop-sided support of Israel. I guess there is more to it than I thought. I was born in the 80s so I never experienced it first-hand.
Good God, the only thing *good* about that man was his international policies.
He was a domestic *disaster.* I guess Nixon making African Americans Public Enemy Number #1 and doing everything in his power to demonize them through the “War on Drugs” was fine with you.
But it would do you well to know that when he *wasn’t* doing that, he was derailing the American economy with *Nixon Shocks.* It took the direct efforts of *three* Presidents to bring America back from the brink of financial chaos that Nixon left it at.
He was a God-awful President. That is not a conservative-liberal sentiment. That is just an objective sentiment.
Particularly when it comes to foreign policy he was by far the best. So it’s odd that you didn’t like em, yet thought he was the best.
@@thedemocraticchristian2348 So true! Ford and Carter are unfortunately considered to be two of the worst presidents in history because of Nixon's mess.
@@bobblueford no, they both just sucked.
The greatest president of the 20th century, bar none! Oh how we need a man like him now. I miss him so much.
+ALittleAintEnough
He could've been a great president, perhaps among the greatest of the 20th century alongside Teddy Roosevelt and Harry Truman. His opening to China, withdrawal of troops from Vietnam, detente with the Soviets,..... were great achievements. Unfortunately, they got overshadowed by this scandal that began with a simple, third-rate burglary and then grew into a monstrous, out-of-control scandal that even Nixon himself succumbed to it.
He should've burned the tapes, period!
Bar none? This video is pure propaganda. Nixon was a corrupt politician who committed war crimes in Cambodia, expanded the war in Vietnam, and started a drug war, knowing its only purpose was to imprison war protesters and minorities. The greatest president of the 20th century is FDR. FDR pulled the country out of the great depression and transformed the federal government into a structure that is capable of providing welfare to people like the declaration of independence and the constitution promised it would.
We do we have Trump
Nixon was truly one of the greatest presidents the USA has ever seen.
Tricky dick?
Watergate was stealing a pack of gum compared to what other Presidents/politicians have done and gotten away with. Hell, the fact that he owned up to his mistakes shows his true character and morals. Very wise man.
Ben Watson fully agree, takes big balls to own up to a mistake
Was it wise to sabotage the Vietnamese Peace Talks just to gain an edge in the 1968 election hereby risking countless Vietnamese and American lives.
I agree with this. He admitted to having screwed this one up. I just wish he had admitted the error earlier instead of trying to cover it up. If he had immediately admitted that the break-in was real and then had fired those who did it, his presidency likely would have survived it. Nixon had had many foreign policy successes, including opening relations with China and detente with the Soviet Union. IMO the country would have been better off if he had handled Watergate better and then had stayed in power.
Nixon wasn't part of Watergate or knew about it , NIXON ROCKS , OBIDEN ADMIN DESTROYING OUR NATION AND WESTERN CIVILIZATION, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇱✡️🕎🇨🇦🇬🇧🇫🇷

President Nixon - one of the truly great President of USA! Most hard working & visionary Leader of the Free World with a remarkable loyal supporting wife and family.
And beating his wife
Beautiful man.
Thank you Jesus for giving us Richard Milhous Nixon!❤
A True Visionary.
Truely one of the greatest leaders in all of history.
The best crook you mean He don’t mean a damn thing
On what basis? He was a disaster - he created a cynicism towards government that were still living with today… The idea that they’re all crooks and liars and criminals…
I'm a Millennial progressive and even I can acknowledge Nixon's contributions to society during his life. Honestly I admire his achievements and bounce back after failures. Yes, there's Watergate. Beyond that and others downs, I respect some of his ambitious.
Wonderful tribute video. I think President's greatest accomplishment is showing us all that as mortals, we can make some big mistakes, but we can move forward in our lives not to let the mistakes disempower us, but to live our lives differently and positively so that how we live our lives after a big failure makes people respect, admire, and have affection for us once again. In other words, never give up.
President Nixon has much humbleness, decency, and the potential to be a president. His outstanding performance on the international front was shadowed by the watergate. I still surprised by the modern presidents we live with.
Decency is hardly a word to describe Richard Nixon… He was a creep
@@MFK1967 How was he a creep?
Those who support Israel are persecuted and that is exactly what happened to President Nixon who was and remains the Best President. God Bless You Mr. Nixon. RIP ❤️🙏
I'm not a crook by today's standards
True, how lousy subsequent presidents have been.
Dude, Nixon's a HERO by today's standards; politicians practice corruption openly on both sides now and the government 'wire-taps' EVERYONE now. Nixon's probably not even that corrupt in comparison to Pelosi, McConnell, Trump, even Biden perhaps.
@@broadstreet21 all down hill from 1973.
@@Awakeningspirit20 Nixon I would say is as bad as McConnell but Trump is worse and Biden and Pelosi are far superior
America needs new leadership now. This statement still rings true today. Nixon one of the greatest presidents ever
The taping system apparently began with FDR. Hell, I'll bet it's technology has just been upgraded since.
There’s nothing wrong with taping… It’s what the tapes cauggt Nixon saying/doing is the problem
Richard Nixon my favorite President great man great American I wish he was President now
Very good video! Seeing it for the first time tonight.
I've spoken of the supremacy of Richard Nixon's place as a statesman, due to the key fact that he held the highest office's of both President and Vice President for over 13 and a half years. Although a few other Presidents had combined office's to a total of 12 years and of course FDR's 12 plus; all them were in consecutive years. Richard Nixon's time spanned 22 years, almost a quarter of a century and close to double his closest Presidential colleagues. The term “The Wilderness Years” has been a historic reference point for discussing Winston Churchill's acclaimed career, and his time when he was not within the great corridors of power. Similarly from 1960 to 1968, Richard Nixon wandered in his own Wilderness. Yet perhaps this is when a gifted leader is anointed with a higher calling and if given the opportunity to once again hold high office, shall humbly endeavor to do so on an even more righteous path of leadership.
Wow.
Never realized how great of a man Nixon was, we need to start looking at him through a new perspective
You’re watching a video put out by the Nixon library… You might want to educate yourself
@@MFK1967 How many from the other side are there? This is a stupid reply. Every other source is against the man.
Tune out the media - study the record of the man. He is a global giant - responsible for opening relations with the most populous nation on earth, starting the Environmental agency and so much more.
I sure wish Nixon was around today to help with this Iranian mess. he was in a whole other league over Obama and Kerry etc. with foreign policy.
andrelebaron by far. Obama is horrible. Even john Kerry said he sought nixons advice on foreign affairs
iranian mess you mean the deal that worked until that fat shit got rid of it
Obama's peace deal with Iran was an excellent piece of diplomacy that made us all safer and improved our relations with Iran. Our NATA allies were all for the deal because they correctly saw that it prevented Iran from getting nuclear weapons while simultaneously improving their economy and improving our relations with them. It enabled our aerospace companies like Boeing to sell passenger jets to Iran. It was win/win/win until our loser President Trump tore it up without even reading it. Trump's doing that made it likely that Iran would make nuclear weapons, putting us and our allies in much greater danger.
It's a shame that so many Trump-worshipping, right-wing fanatics have bought into Fox News' gross distortions of this issue. Obama issued Iran a REFUND of money that we OWED them. The pseudo-journalists at Fox deliberately distorted the truth by calling that a ransom. That would be like returning a router to Best Buy for a refund and having some bozo call that a ransom. The truth is when relations with Iran turned sour in the 1970s, President Carter froze all Iranian assets in the United States. He had good reasons for doing that at the time, but the result was that Iran had paid for goods and services such as airplane parts which they never received. Then with relations remaining bad for years, Iran never got refunded that money that they paid and they never got the items which they had paid for. In other words, it was a legitimate debt that Obama rightfully paid as part of that deal, and as part of improving our relations with them. Fox News once again lied to the public by distorting that refund.
So we had a good deal with Iran, one that improved relations, improved both economies, one that our allies were happy with, one that prevented the proliferation of nukes, only to be nullified by our incompetent President Trump without even bothering to read it. Now we're less safe, our allies are upset with us, and Boeing has unjustly lost a market.
Nixon was a smart foreign policy President who would have approved of this deal with Iran. Trump doesn't even understand what the deal was, but tore it up only as an ego trip. It's appalling that many Americans support such a foolish move. They only do so because they are fools themselves. That's what happens when people listen to an entertainment network that admitted in a court of law that they're an entertainment and not a news channel. That was their basis for claiming they're under no obligation to tell the truth. And they don't tell the truth. And that turns may Americans into fools -- who are foolish enough to vote for an incompetent demagogue like Trump.
Obama didn't pay off terrorists. What he did was give a refund to the legitimate government of Iran. He paid money BACK to them that we owed them. They had paid for parts and services, which they never received. It's no different than if you returned a defective router to Best Buy. Of course they would give you your money back. Our NATO allies agreed with Obama on the deal with Iran. It was a deal that allowed inspections, allowing the US and the rest of NATO to verify that Iran wasn't building nuclear weapons, and it allowed US airplane manufacturers like Boeing to sell commercial aircraft to Iran. It was win/win. Iran got money back which they were OWED. The world got a safer world in an Iran that wouldn't develop nukes. And US companies would have been able to sell planes to Iran. So, yes, it was a great deal. And please don't use the hyperbole of calling their government "terrorists." They don't murder innocent people with drone strikes like we do. You're projecting. And quit distorting the truth by calling the REFUND a "pay off." That's intellectually dishonest. You've been watching Joseph Goebbels Television, also known as "Fox News."
You have no credibility
Great man !! Wish he was here now because we need his strong leadership.
He was great.
Он был легендой!
One of the Greatest politicians ever
Even tho watergate made me dislike him, his triumphs after losing makes me respect him
Here is a life lived in full, triumphs and tragedies. A life in full circle in the service of his fellow man.
To me, Nixon is one of the most interesting political figures of all time.
Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall see the kingdom of heaven
true got to keep going if your the good guy
A cool dude after all os said and done. Wow.
We confidence of a greater future.
I briefly Remember When Richard Nixon was President 1969-1974 And I had a Copy of "In the Arena" And before that Book "No More Vietnam" Both Where very good Paperback Books
God Bless the Nixon family ❤
Alot of these things are also showed in Oliver Stone's masterpiece Nixon 1995.
a great man

Cheers and Vivat for Mr President R. Nixon !

“I let down the American people”- Richard Nixon
Busted.!!!!!!!!
Another crook in american politics.!!!!
He was one of our greatest Presidents. Too bad what happened
is this the one they show at the Nixon Museum Library?
Is this available to purchase?
I studied JFK 30 years awesome individual had set backs had alot of support Nixon became Vice President 8 years lost to JFK by 100k votes came back 8 years later amazing man. More complicated then say JFK but a fighter, passionate, ambitious didn't like losing. 🎉 History will be good to Nixon ...
Nixon won the popular vote against Kennedy . He seceded and ran again . I wonder if he won , if we would not be in Vietnam . God bless Richard and Pat Nixon .
No offense intended, but Kennedy won the popular vote, albeit by a fraction of a percentage point: 49.72 to 49.55. Nixon could've contested the outcome, but the popular vote doesn't mean anything in the United States. The Electoral College chooses the president, and they voted overwhelmingly for Kennedy over Nixon: 303 to 219. 😐
@@TheStockwell 303 is a pretty standard victory. Not to dismiss Kennedy's win, he never should have won that election, but he did just about everything right and then some, but that's like saying Trump overwhelmingly beat Clinton, or Biden overwhelmingly beat Trump. They were solid victories, but not blowouts. Also, I think he's implying that Kennedy stole the popular vote, but Nixon conceded and didn't challenge it, though I don't particularly agree with that.
@@mcapple7651 I can't find fault with any of your statements. 👍
Things like that are what made him Nixon. The choices and decisions he made were deliberate and realistic - and always idiosyncratic. Consider: "Nixonian" - his name is been turned into an adjective.
@@mcapple7651 JFK didn't steal anything, he didnt need Chicago to win.... Mayor Daley asked the Republicans if they wanted a recount and they said no.
@@TheStockwell True - albeit very slim he did lose to Kennedy. That said - JFK would have been a formidable challenge for any candidate and Nixon's stellar showing is a testament to his efficacy as a politician and qualifications to be a leader.
😮😮😮Ramon Magsaysay pa gd
Even the saviors perfect and pure
Sinless life was despised and rejected!
the "Never Give Up" title, is it a reference to what president Ford did with/to him?
A very complicated and misunderstood human being
How to win?
Have the "right" message.
The best president, ever.
Let us remember the partisan, media hounds pushing Watergate. American citizens MUST lead more positively and not self destruct our treasures. Our goodness and amazing resourcefulness leads the world !!! May we honor that beautiful responsibility:);)
Nixon was the one who hired the people who broke into Watergate and committed all the other dirty tricks… The media sounds only reported on what Nixon was doing… He’s responsible for his own actions in the horrible consequences
And...Nixon's The One...
Nixon is a great American president
The greatest president it’s soo sad
Be safe nixon
Nixon Now!
He entered the Massachusetts primary and lost!
I own a book about Nixon, the last 20 years of his life were rough. His wife had 2 strokes within 12 years, she passed away less than a year before Dick and though he had hoped to live to be in his 90s I feel like he just gave up hope and was ready to die after pat's death.
I like Nixon my folks long time Democrat voted for him in 1960 we from California just like him
my man
wow. I'm no nixonian, but he had understanding and conviction. I highly recommend this presentation. I am a Kennedy man. Still Nixon comes out to be real somehow. An honest liar???? Who knows ........great talk here.god bless the united states' of America and god bless lady Gaga..........heeee.....heee, we love ya!.....
The Narrator was infamous at that time anyone remember his name 📛 it's not listed???
Incredible come back kid
Cool 😎
Wow. 10:51 Nixon had much more humility and honor than I thought. And here we are with this jerk who knows he lost but wants to scam his naive supporters by telling him he can win in court.
