It's nice to hear an interview where the host lets the interviewee answer the question without interrupting.

Nixon’s appraisals of his contemporaries are surprisingly nuanced and perceptive, not political hit jobs

[jaxonjaxoff]

Nixon is one of the most interesting presidents of all time.

Mr.Nixon was so much more than the media painted him as, he was a well spoken and thoughtful man.

I love this commentary by Richard Nixon! Bobby Kennedy was an 18th Century Jesuit Priest! 🤣 Yes, Teddy was the consummate Irish politician, like a lot of my Grandfather’s family! John Kennedy was debonair and a class act! You can tell who had the best personal traits to become President! I love these Nixon videos! The Liberal Press denigrated Nixon and his legacy. These videos prove that he was one of the brightest and most intellectually insightful of any President!

PRESIDENT NIXON, IS AN ICON FROM MY YOUTH AS A 65 YEAR OLD I REALISE What A Brilliant STATESMAN He Was

[adadumitrescu]

What an intelligent person.
I love to listen to Mr Nixon.

Even if Nixon loathed a rival or public figure, he was always discreet and diplomatic.

I mean, if he'd been served liver and onions as a child, he would've told his mother, "I understand how much thought and work you put into preparing this meal. I sincerely do. Although liver and onions may never take the place in my heart which hamburgers and ice cream do, rest assured I will do my utmost to convey something resembling enthusiasm and appreciation for your efforts. Thanks, Mom."

Imagine a president being able to talk like this today.

I love how much mutual respect Nixon and the Kennedy brothers had for each other. Republican vs Democrat but all die hard patriots and wise intelligent men.

[rdean]

These interviews are a priceless resource for historians.

Funny how the politicians saw each other back then. They disagreed but didn't hate or demonize each other.

[livinlegends]

Really amazing how we as a country have changed, and not for the better. The person conducting the interview let President Nixon talk. Nixon was a very formal and spoke eloquently about other politicians. It is refreshing to see the respect he had compared to politicians today. We really have gone backwards. Sad took

[markwilliams]

Love Nixon. Very personable. Very smart. One can see why he was twice elected president, notwithstanding the constant Hollywood/media smear jobs.

[spazmonkey]

Nixon was really an ok guy. I saw a lecture by him when the USSR fell saying that we should help out the USSR .It was a great seemingly off the cuff lecture.

[jimquann]

Nixon is so good in these interviews. NO HATE and telling you what he thinks about on many things! I like watching them and I Vote Dem 80% of the time.

I’d like to see an interview where Nixon described his feelings towards the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush. Especially since he had considered having Reagan or Bush replace Agnew, but then chose Ford. Additionally Reagan was governor of California during the Nixon administration, and Bush was Nixon’s UN ambassador for a while as well as the chair of the RNC.

[davegoren]

It’s amazing that Nixon, in every interview I’ve heard, speak decently about other politicians who were adversaries at one time or another. Why have things changed so much?

[CP-]

Nice to see that even if they were political rivals they still could respect each other and be personal friends.

Nixon didn't always handle the pressure of the presidency as well as we might have hoped, but I gather that he was a decent person underneath it all. Also an underrated president.
