>> nixon. >> richard nixon. >> nixon. >> yeah, nixon. >> nixon. >> is anybody else running but nixon? >> the president was a political animal. the president was phenomenally skilled. he was able to handle virtually anything. >> five men wearing white gloves and carrying cameras were caught early today in the headquarters of the democratic national committee in washington. they were caught by a night watchman, and they did not resist arrest when the police came. they were apparently unarmed, and no one knows yet why they were there. the film in the camera hadn't been exposed. in any case, they're being held. >> the democratic national committee is housed in the fashionable watergate complex. the break-in apparently planned well in advance. files were ransacked and papers removed. also in this area, ceiling tiles had been removed for the suspected planting of bugging devices. >> it was saturday morning, june 17th. the phone rang, it was about 6:30. a colleague of mine, chuck work, was on the phone. he said, hello, it's chuck. we have a hot one. we have a burglary at the democratic natio

. >> you're a notable fan of richard nixon. in fact, you have to man's face tattooed on your back, if i'm not mistaken. what do you think richard nixon would be making of all this? >> well, he would be very angry about the leaks. >> he sure would be. >> particularly if they were leaks from his own white house. you know they have been -- i've written a book on richard nixon. he was both very great and very flawed. he achieved many great things for peace and made egregious mistakes. my admiration of him has to do with his resilience. the tattoo is a daily reminder that in life when you get knocked down, when things don't go your way, when you're defeated you have to get up and fight again. it's simply that. >> final question. have you spoken to the president since he's been the president? while he's in the white house? >> i have but, again, i'm not prepared to disclose the contents of that conversation. it's not all that momentous. i called to congratulate him, he was very gracious. >> roger stone, appreciate your time tonight, s

to richard nixon and they say, it was what richard nixon did to himself. the tapes from oval office show six days after the watergate break-in, he was discussing, himself, a cover-up. you know, the smoking gun tape. so how did the media do that to richard nixon? >> the media picked one tiny little thing that he did, one tiny, tiny little thing he did. >> what tiny little thing? >> one tiny little thing which was to discuss a cover-up. he didn't do the cover-up. he didn't follow through with the cover-up payments, he just discussed it. this is a guy who brought more peace to the world than any president in the 20th century, open relationship with china, the limitations with the soviet union and leading to an agreement. ended the war in vietnam, brought on the prisoners of war and saved the life of the state of israel. and so -- >> so you think the watergate scandal and what was uncovered was phoey. >> it was not a good thing. compared with his achievements, they are doing the exact same thing to mr. trump. whose achievements compared to mr. nixon's are nil,

. >>> at 8:00 on the presidency, ben stein, former speech writer for presidents richard nixon and gerald ford reflects onyxen's time in the white house, his energy policies and initiatives in israel and southeast asia. >> richard nixon left israel's defense in a way that no other president ever had. >> for our complete american history tv schedule, go to c-span.org. >>> c-span where history unfolds daily. in 1979, c-span was created as a public service by america's cable television companies and is brought to you today by your cable or satellite provider. >>> now a conversation from the brookings institution on republicans' plans for repealing and replacing the affordable care act. we'll hear about how obamacare works in different states and what will be needed in a replacement plan to make sure that millions of americans are able to keep their health insurance.

>> reminds me of the watergate period of richard nixon. he didn't have a bad first 100 days in 1969 but the idea of the amount of problems in the white house, leaking, this strange donald trump foot soldiers -- looking at general flynn now, people are going to -- but i don't believe the justice department will pursue that. did flynn lie to the fbi and where does this all lead to? tells you how maybe the whole country was remiss in not somehow getting donald trump to release his tax returns. always called it unprecedented that he didn't and all left scratching our heads and getting grirm and grimmer by the day, things unraveling in the trump white house. >> let me ask you what i wrote on my iphone. coincidence or not? russia hacks dnc, harmful to hillary clinton. trump says they didn't. consistently defends putin. campaign manager resigns. flynn resigns after doj warns white house. proof that trump camp talking to russia all along, russia celebrates when trump wins. lot of coincidences. >> and add the fact that the trump camp tried to chang

does he have a tattoo of richard nixon on body? >> he admitted to me on air. >> nixon, was almost comforted. i was thinking, well, he's kind of nuts but he knew how to legislate. he knew some of things that trump just doesn't know. and to what mark was saying, i kept looking at him yesterday and thinking this is a scene out of that movie soap dish where sally field is desperate for attention and she takes whoopi goldberg and they go to a mall so people will go, oh, my god, it's soap star x and then she gets a crowd of people and feels so much better. >> to go off of what mark was saying, i don't know that it's as complicated as thinking he knows a shoe is going to drop. it's that donald trump needs drama. >> it can be an emotional need and a strategy.

was created by a republican president in 1970, richard nixon. i remember very clearly when he did that. and across intelligent decades, support for this agency and for its important -- across subsequent decades, support for this agency and for its important mission has been as bipartisan as ever. support for highly effective administrators from both parties. but i am deeply concerned that scott pruitt is a radical break

where as the joint committee on taxation reviewed the tax returns of president richard nixon in 1974 and made the information public. whereas the ways and means 6103ttee used irc authority in 2014 to make public the confidential information of 51 taxpayers. whereas the american people have the right to know whether or not their president is operating under conflicts of interest related to international governmentx reform, contracts or otherwise. now therefore be it resolved, mr. speaker that the house of representatives shall, one, immediately request the tax return information of donald j trump for the tax years of 2006-2016 for review in closed executive session by the commute -- committee on ways and means as provided by section 6103 of the internal revenue code. and vote to report the information to the full house of representatives. support transparency in government and the long-standing tradition of presidents and presidential candidates disclosing their tax returns. thank you mr. speaker.

whiteent richard nixon's house counsel, john dean. he is the author of several books including, "the nixon defense: what he knew and when he knew it" and "conservatives without conscience," and "broken government: how republican rule destroyed the legislative, executive, and judicial branches." john dean, welcome to democracy now! >> good morning. 36 days into this presidency. it took a second term of office for president nexen before the house judiciary committee voted on articles of impeachment against him. he would later resign. can you talk about where donald trump is now? john: what i see and hear in following it are echoes of watergate. watergate ran about 900 days. it went on for years, starting with a bungled burglary, right up to richard nixon's resignation, followed by the conviction of his top aides. it ran a long time. what we are seeing is accelerated. thes partially because of media and technology today. it is also the behavior of , asld trump and his aides well as the media's vigilance on this. what i see and hear are e

for example, richard nixon, during the course of that. senator potter went to the senate from the house from michigan. both from south dakota warehouse members and on the committee and went to the other body. you had quite an exit is from the house to the senate solely on the strength of the publicity we generated by the relatively first hearings that were covered so extensively by television. >> in those days -- rep. michel: actually, that gave me a boost, because my boss was so engrossed in the activity that it left me free to go back home and pick up around the edges, and to the chamber of commerce speeches. he was just so intensely interested in that. he had a primary opponent all four times he ran. and you are the administrative assistant. rep. michel: please used to tell organization people that i knew every precept by name -- precinct by name. very important to know organization people. when i ran the first time, it was a spirited five-man race. i won that race in 1956. i have been reelected ever since without ever having primary o

this is very much like saint richard nixon and watergate. his career is in tatters but he calls his way back to respectability and inns up like an adviser to president clinton on matters of foreign policy that are vexing the country, russia, china and so on. that near-death experience makes you tougher. anybody who doesn't understand how tough donald trump is really doesn't get it. in his personal demeanor, he's very likable. he's a regular guy. he's not snobby or stilted or stiff or formal in any way. so he's a billionaire who's not an elitist, who is not a snob. i think that experience of coming close to financial disaster and surviving it has just made them stronger and more confident. >> host: talk about your book, the relationship goes back decades. can you talk about your first meeting with them and watch impression was when you first met president trump? >> guest: sure. i went to new york in 1979. i was assigned to run new york, new jersey and connecticut for former governor ronald reagan's campaign. i was introduced to donald trump b

. >> a number of veteran journalists have told me they see parallels to richard nixon now. we have an all star panel to help break this down. when it comes to comparisons to nixon, there's one expert i must start with, carl bernstein that broke watergate wide open. nixonian. is that fair comparison to make 30 days into trump's presidency? >> trump's attacks are more treacherous than richard nixon's attacks. they were largely in private. there's a history of what enemy of the people, that phrase means as used by deictators including stalin and hitler. i'm not about to say anything comparing hitler and trumpdemag. there is no civic consensus in this country about acceptable presidential conduct. there was a consensus that nixon had to leave office because he had breached that acceptable conduct. we have no such acceptable compact among republicans, democrats, conservatives, liberals in this country today. trump is out there on his own leading a demagogue attack on the institutions of free democracy including the press. >> do you have a sense it's working? one reaction would b

in the end, richard nixon couldn't. it didn't happen fast. richard nixon's great crimes against the constitution took about a year and a half to start. >> bottom line, what does this tell us? look at this as an historian. >> the bottom line this tell us that our institutions are strong in the united states. if this were some kind of banana republic, president trump would have no pushback from any institution. the courts would have just fallen or he would have removed a judge. the u.s. military pushed back on torture. for people around the world, this is a test of our institutions and so far the american institutions have passed the test. this was a great week for the u.s. constitution. >> fascinating conversation. next, former secretary of state madeline albright. former national security advisor stephen hadley assess the first two weeks of president trump's foreign policy. the decisions, phone calls and the tweets. what powers the digital world. communication. that's why a cutting edge university counts on centurylink to keep their global ca

this is very much like richard nixon and watergate. he claws his way back to respectability and ends up as an adviser on the matte the matterf foreign policy that are vexing the country. russia, china and so on. so, that experience makes you tougher. anybody that doesn't understand how tough donald trump is doesn't really get it. in his personal demeanor, he is very likable, he isn't snobby or stiff or formal in any way. so, he is a billionaire who is not an elitist. but i think that experience of coming close to financial disaster and surviving it has made him stronger and more confident. >> host: talk about your book that goes back decades can you talk about the first meeting with him and what's your impression was when you first met president trump? >> guest: i was assigned to new york, new jersey and connecticut for the former governor ronald reagan campaigned introduced by his attorney, the notorious. it's a great honor to meet you, please call me donald. after the inauguration. he is eminently likable and a great sense of humor,

he's more like richard nixon and ronald reagan. >> host: was he surprised a hurt, angry? >> guest: i think that he accepted the later endorsement with grace. >> host: if you'd gone back and forth between insults, there was a declaration that ted cruz father had been in conversations with the kennedy assassin and you write about that in your book. what do you make of that and why are we talking about this if it isn't relevant, can you talk about that a little bit? >> guest: i believe the piece is indisputably an associate writing this in her book with multiple interview interviews te photograph that you see comes from the commission, not from the national enquirer donald trump threw it out there to be under his skin. he questions his patriotism, he was questioning his temperament. they are merely saving time. >> guest: he got him so angry he was drooling. you could see him getting into a fight with a 10-year-old boy at a rally. the kid kept yelling "lying ted." >> host:. >> guest: he's a bush republican masquerading as something else. i would hope somebody would challenge

it was tom brokaw talking to richard nixon years ago. i think it was in 1988. you worked for president nixon. brokaw asked him if there was anything he would have done differently. nixon's response was, i suppose i could've treated the press a little bit better. then he followed it up by saying, i suppose they could have treated me better too. i wonder if you think at some point president trump might say something like that. do you leave room for that possibility? roger: the mainstream media monopoly was in full swing when richard nixon was president. he took them on anyway despite the peril of that. in this case, the media is now in much broader than it was, frankly keeping reporters honest and some news organizations honest is not a bad thing. but this election is also the first one in which the majority of the voters figured out that big media was in bed with the big establishment, and to a great extent, many in the media thent -- parrot establishment blind. the president has no choice but to take them on. he's a fighter. he has enormous courage. a rapproche

you know, when our presidents have become isolated, richard nixon being the best single example, they lose touch with what the people are thinking. that's the single most dangerous thing that can happen. i think trump's greatest strength is while he's a billionaire, he's not an elitist, therefore, he speaks easily with people regardless of what strata from society comes from. he would rather have lunch with a group of cab drivers than fortune 500 executives. he both likes people and he's very likable. he has a great sense of humor, is fun to be with, he relates well to people. so i think ehe's going to be himself. this whole idea he needs to change and become more presidential, i reject that. he is the man we elected, and i think people will be pleased with his -- with his progress on issues and all this other stuff becomes a sideshow that the voters really don't care about. >> glor: roger stone, the book is called "the making of the president 2016: how donald trump orchestrated a revolution." appreciate your time. >> thanks for having me. >> glor: welcome to the program. i'm jeff glo

. >> the first person to imagine a trump presidency was not me but former president richard nixon. i was working for nixon doing political chores in his postpresidential years and he met donald trump in george steinbrenner's box and they hit it off. he called me the next day and said i met your man. i got to tell you he has got it. he could really go all the way. >> he said that? >> and then days later he dropped a note which i reproduce in the book to donald trump that said as is so typical of nixon's circa location, nixon saw you on the mike douglas show and thought you were superb and if you ever run for public office you will win because you are a winner and mrs. nixon knows about these things. he was talking about himself, his own judgment. not long after that, president nixon and donald trump spent a weekend together. ..

that was richard nixon speaking of everett dirksen. we will have the 20th anniversary of his death. if he had lived, he would have been the only person to go to the president and tell him what to do. you can picture the language which we can't use here, but he would say, you fire them. they did you a disservice. one thing i did notice in the waning nixon days that the circle of friends and advisers kept shrinking, maybe due to the times. i think if i were to assess any president, whenever you see that happening to the president rather than the circle of friends and advisers enlarging, you are in for trouble. i really learned the difference between ford's limited administration and nixon's administration to let it all hang out by which the mechanism you serve your president. it is a superlative eulogy for one who serves in public life. don't hold anything back. don't ever bamboozle them. don't create favorite just telling him the things he wants to hear, because that does not serve the president well. while i did not have the association with carter that i had with nixon or limited w

nixon he had to resign. all i'm suggesting here is we need republicans to be as jeff said, patriots. find out what happened. if all is in order, that's great for everybody, but we need to find out, and we need republicans to join with democrats and say we want the truth. >> mary katherine? >> i think it's possible to hold two ideas in your head at the same time. that's to be concerned about what went down in the campaign and the connections with russia and to be concerned about the deep state of the intelligence community feeling emboldened to make what seems like a coordinated leak campaign against the white house. those are two things to be worried about at the same time, and i am. i would love to get to the bottom of it. what concerns me is if you do the investigation and so much of the information is classified, because it become illuminating to the public, or do we continue to see leaks from the either side trying to figure out what's going on? i am concerned this does not become illuminating in the end

richard nixon knew there was three. in the beginning he tried to lead while maintaining respect for the branches of government. the challenge for president trump and his team is to figure out a way to work within the american constitutional system. in the end, richard nixon couldn't. it didn't happen fast. his great crime against the constitution took about a year and a half to start. >> bottom line, what does this tell us? you look at this as a historic. >> the bottom line this tell us that our institutions are strong in the united states. if this were some kind of banana republic, president trump would have no pushback from any institution. the courts would have just followed or he would have removed the judge. the u.s. military pushed back on torture. for people around the world, this is a test of our institutions and so far the american institutions have passed the test. this was a great week for the u.s. constitution. >> fascinating conversation. next, former secretary of state madeline albright. former national se

some mainstream mediager: the monopoly was in full swing when richard nixon was president. he took them on anyway despite the peril of that. in this case, the media is now much broader than it was, frankly keeping reporters honest and some news organizations honest is not a bad thing. but this election is also the first one in which the majority of the voters figured out that big media was in bed with the big establishment, and to a media xtent, many in the reselling them right now. is that, as for as you can , as theone strategy come out strong on everything and then figure out where you can back off a little bit? roger: i think it would be presumptuous to assume that they have a strategy that is that machiavellian. really the president's focused on action on the agenda. if he can continue to take the strides he has taken to implement his agenda in a big picture way, all this other stuff is noise. wearingthe president is a bathrobe when he's in the living quarters of the white house, i don't think any voter cares. so, i think -- it's not going to change. ifwill be out ther

even richard nixon, whatever you say about nixons he buckled to the supreme court and turned over the tapes because he knew they were the boss. >> yes. and the good news is that the trump administration is now finally doing that. so they're abiding by the order. they're following lawful process despite what the president is saying. they're appeal to the 9th circuit, exactly the process we would expect and want to happen. >> what would be a judge's reaction -- first of all, the mexican-american judge attacked because of his heritage, trump i guess was suggesting he must not like me is what he was really saying. now referring to a so-called judge. >> it can't possibly help his case. i can't see how this would be a good thing for him going forward if he's insulting the judiciary, he's not going to put them in a favorable position for him. there is something that is concerning that happened up until this point. before this court order was issued, there were other orders that required the administration to basically let in aliens to boston and to l.a. and despite those orders, up until thi

that was president richard nixon in 1972, president richard nixon in 1972, president carter and president ronald reagan. it comes after a number of stepping up of the attacks on the media. president donald trump has described some outlets as fake news, and he says that fake news is an enemy of the american people. and then, on friday, at a white house briefing, certain selected members of the media were not allowed in. that was cnn, the new york times, the bbc, and others. our editor is still asking for an explanation as to why we were not allowed in, and we are not sure if it will continue. what this message that president donald trump has put out on twitter makes clear is that his animosity and relationship with the press is not go to get any better. meanwhile democrats have elected a new national chairman. tom perez is a former member of barack obama's cabinet. the role is seen as key when it comes to driving the party's message home and criticising president trump. here's what mr perez had to say after his election: some day they are going to study this era in american history and the

very much like, say, richard nixon and watergate. his career is in tatters but he claws his way back to respectability, and is an advisedder to president clinton on matters of foreign policy on russia, china, and so on. so that near death experience makes you tougher. anybody who doesn't understand how tough trump is really doesn't get it. in his personal demeanor, he is very likeable. he is a regular guy. he is not snobby or stilted or stiff or formal in any way. so he is a billionaire who is not an elitist, not a snob. but i think that experience of coming close to financial disaster and surviving it has just made him stronger and more confident. >> host: talk about your book, your relationship goes back decades. talk about your first meeting with him and what your impression was when your first met president trump. >> guest: sure. i went to new york in 1979. i was a assigned to run the new york, new jersey, and connecticut for former governor reagan's campaign. was introduced to young trump by his attorney, roy cohen. i went and s

and so under the governorship of tom mccall who by the way was a republican who, like richard nixon, believed in the environment. it was richard nixon who was president when we did the clean water act and we did the clean air act and we established the e.p.a. and it was a republican governor, tom mccall, who pursued the beach bill and the bottle bill and the land use bill, this land use planning bill that said let's put a boundary around each town and city. and you will not be able to build outside of that boundary so that we just don't have sprawl. and those who owned land outside said well, we want to still have the right to build anything, and so a compromise was struck, and it was at the tax rate outside of those boundaries would be much lower. and so with that, the farmer said that's a sweet deal, we'll take that, and the forest industry said we'll take that. and meanwhile, it meant that our cities started to develop more densely with intense services, and we would avoid the sprawl that it experienced elsewhere. now, i mentioned each of these issues. the bottle bill, the beach b

bush or barack obama or even back to richard nixon, these were presidents who said i can't really make a decision well if i'm involved in the hourly coverage. >> for now, the president might be watching, twitter handle at the ready unless the duties of the office keep him too busy to watch tv. >> president trump seems to be watching and reacting to so much tv that ad rates are increasing. the prices for issue advocacy spots have gone way up during shows he typically watches in an on effort to influence the president. >> that is an interesting nugget. thank you for sharing. savannah sellers, we'll see you again. >>> a look at whether the president's fight for his travel ban orders are delaying other political priorities is up next in the next hour, the new poll about whether the country believes president trump is doing too much too soon. did you make that? i did... n't. hey, come look what lisa made. wow. you grilled that chicken? yup! i did... n't. mhm, lisa. you roasted this? uhuh... n't. introducing smartmade by smart ones. real ingredients, grilled and roasted using the same smart

bush, ronald reagan, richard nixon. any response to our caller from the u.k.? guest: just on the international front, there is richard nixon making himself in that list as he was good at geopolitical thinking and the breakthrough with china in 1972 was a giant accomplishment. that, ather hand of disastrous war in southeast asia . it does a lot of damage to his relations. it's interesting to see lincoln is able to make that list. the big three constantly, lincoln, franklin roosevelt. i would add theodore roosevelt. numbermost ironed in at four. he built the big navy. he did the panama canal. he named the white house the white house. he saved 234 million americans of wild america. he is the great conservation resident and a reformer. large as lincoln and fdr in my mind as the fourth wheel of the big four of the true mount rushmore of american presidents. host: this is from charles. i hope this is rhetorical. what is so terrible about william henry harrison? he was sick most of the time. guest: there's nothing terrible. he is inconsequential. personally, i don't k
