Shadows. His mo to i believe was do unto others before they have a chance to do unto you. Thats enough. There was an obsession with leaks. You dont blame the leaks when facts come out that show wrong doing. Let me see it. Can we get these lights properly. He was not comfortable in front of a camera. One might even say he was afraid the people would see something he didnt want them to see. Had it not been for water gate i think he could have gone down as one of the more significant president s in this country. We have 40 seconds to go now. We were witnessing the implosion of an american presidency. The president has taken his place at the table in the white house where hes going to speak. Here now the next picture will be the president of the United States. I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. As president i must put the interest of america first. Therefore, i shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. It was total tragedy. Total disgrace. Here was a man who had fought all of his life to become the president of the United States. He totally destroyed it. If someone looked in the soul of Richard Nixon, he knew absolute absolutely that he was guilty. That was the tragedy of water gate. I dont come from a political family. I didnt think about the pobt of being president of the United States. My mother didnt take me into her arms an tell me someday youll be president. Nixon is born in a dirt poor family. He applies to ivy league colleges. He cant get into any of them. He make it is round all the white shoe law firms in new york. He cant get hired. Richard nixon was a fighter. There was a fire in this man. The people are sick and tired of it. Theyre outraged and they want something done about it. Theyre tired about an administration which instead of cleaning up is covering up the scandal. He goes from navy to the house, to the senate, to Vice President of the United States in six years. Thats true a meet or risk rise. He wanted to prove something. He felt that political success would be the way to proof he was who he thought he was. I say we cant afford to have the white house has a Training Ground for an inexperienced man. He is beaten by the tell yes nick kriz ma tick john kennedy. Nixon looks at kennedy and hes everything he wants to be. Charming, cultured. Chris ma tick, confident. That resentment is what drives nixon. It drives him to try again. It drives him every time hes knocked down and defeated. It drives him to stage the greatest come back in political history. I Richard Nixon do solemnly swear i will faith any execute the office of president of the United States. The American People oppose the continuation of this war. Everything was on fire in america. You had the vietnam war that had been waging. Americans had been through a traumatic decade. Three high profile assassinations. It was enter rup shun of a furry around the country. Nixon was defined by the vietnam war. You had movies and television aimed at nixon being the villain of the era. How i love to be president nixon. Nixon just always seemed completely out of touch when it came to popular culture. I hope they sock it to you. Sock it to me . He had the ray coniff singers at the white house. Nixon offered a fairly simple view of the country. President nixon stop bombing human beings. You go to church and pray. If jesus christ were here tonight you wouldnt dare drop another bomb. They saw nixon as everything did he spiced. Its kind of like today. The terrorists of the far left would like to make the president of the United States a prisoner in the white house. Let me set them straight. As long as im president , no band of violent thugs is going to keep me from going out and speaking with the American People whenever they want to hear me. Nixon saw the world in black and white. Youre either pro next son or anti nixon. If you were anti nixon he was going to get you. Never forget the press is the enemy. The press is the enemy. Write that 100 times. All president s have a kind of tension a conflict and i would go so far as to say even hate members of the press. What nixon had trouble doing is maintaining composure about those feelings. Dont get the impression you arouse my anger. I have that impression. You see one can only be angry with one those he respects. Nixon hated the press. The New York Times began publishing a partial text relating to the american origins in the involvement of vietnam. In 1971 when daniel elksberg leaks that to the New York Times nixon being insistent that hes enraged at out of control. For a conspiracy ther ris like Richard Nixon the publishing of those papers the day after his daughters wedding is not an accident. He wanted lie detector tests given he wanted the name of the guys responsible. He wanted telephone taps. Its in that environment that the white house creates the plummers. They call us the plummers because were there to stop the leaks at the white house. Richard nixon ordered the creation of the plummers because he was convinced that the elseberg pentagon papers leaks where was the beginning. They sent opera tvs to look at his psychiatrists office. They thought the conversations elseberg had with the psychiatrist might be a source of great stuff to destroy his public reputation. The way we would have met that challenge back when i was in the fbi was we would have pulled what is called a black bag job a covert operation. What we were engaged upon is something that had the full and hearty support of the executive branch of the United States government. There was an e by approve and under that he had written in his own handwriting if done under your assurance that it will not be traceable. That was our written authority to go out and conduct that covert operation. These underlings theyre responding to the boss needs and desires. They have want to make him happy. So they push very hard. He doesnt ask them for the details of how they do things. Doesnt care about the details. Hes creating a moral climate where almost anything goes. He is ultimately responsible for the climate in which these zealots operate. Theyre using any means. We are going to use any means. Get it done. I have want it done. People of that era taped. They taped their phone calls. Nixon would have known that president s prior to him also from that generation taped. Next son continued the practice. He expanded it by making it sound activated. In the first couple days of taping theres a little discussion about the whole system. There may be a day where we have to have this. So i think it will work fine. Its a good system. Taping was done for the purpose of having it for the historical record. It was voice activated. Everything was taped which of course was probably stupid. Theres a lack of confidence in the conduct of the war. If we start caters to these bastards theyll eat us aye loif. Alive. Youve got to keep destroying their credibility. Second most jews are disloyal. Generally speaking you cant trust the bastards. Without the tapes Richard Nixon would have survived. When they were revealed it proved from his own lips he orchestrated the cover up. Next i am to kill Jack Anderson. I am on my way to kill Jack Anderson. With a less intense taste.

It was a year when we had the visit to moscow. And then in december of course the most difficult decision i made of the december bombing, which did lead to the uneasy peace but it is peace with all the americans home all of our pows home. Now during that period of time, frankly, i didnt just manage the campaign. I didnt run the campaign. People around me didnt bring things to me that they probably should have. Because i was frankly just too busy trying to do the nations business to run the politics. If mistakes were made however im not blaming the people down below. The man at the tops gotta take the heat for all of it. Nixon had very loyal men around him. Folk who were willing to walk over broken glass. He exploits that. Nixon exploits that. And he gets them to do his bidding. Nixon had a tendency to surround himself with these young, Southern California ad agency types. The white house staff, as it evolves, i think you will find will be smaller than its been in the past. I know youll find it will be the youngest one in history, certainly one of the youngest. Richard nixon managed to charm them. The charm was so strong he pulled them over the line. He encouraged them to do things that maybe they wouldnt have otherwise done. And they seemed to be involved in one giant contest to prove to the boss who could be tougher. Who could be more ruthless. And critics call them the germans and describe their office as the berlin wall. Im speaking of president nixons chief white house advisors John Erlichman and h. R. For Harry Robbins haldeman. Haldeman and ehrlichman were, like, brothers to nixon at times. I mean they served in every possible personal and professional role for him. Haldeman and erhlichman understood the importance of protecting the president. I knew haldeman to say hello to, although he was a muchfeared figure. And i remember my father used to call him the jolly steel buzz saw. You wanna understand bob haldeman . Look at his haircut. Bob haldeman was the chief of the staff to the white house. And people said, whatever haldeman knows, the president knows. In february of 1972, the Election Year, there was one reputable poll that said that one of his opponents, was within one point of beating him in an election. And clearly mr. Nixon said, im gonna make certain that my enemies dont get me. Democratic front runner george mcgovern. Operation jump stone was a plan of dirty tricks and political tactics leading up to the Election Year of 1972. Nixon would call it hard ball. It wasnt just tough politics. It was criminal behavior. I said if youre talking about an all out full out offensive and defensive political intelligence operation youre talking about one hell of a lot of money. G. Gordon liddy put together a mad cap of crimes. Each different operation was given a name of a precious gel. We quickly ran out of precious jewels. By the time we were finished we were down to coal and brick. Liddy was a cowboy, a hot shot. He could do it. When you hire liddy youre hiring a guy thats going to do what hes told to do. We later learned gordon liddy plotted to kill Jack Anderson the columnist. He brushed by me and said jeb just told me to take care of Jack Anderson. I said im i dont know my way to kill Jack Anderson. I went into mcgruders office and said jeb did you tell him to rub out Jack Anderson. I said to gordon i was talking off the cuff. I wasnt serious. Liddy looked at me with that stern look and said never give me an order for a hit job that you dont mean because ill do it. The irony he had been an fbi officer. Yet he comes out of the fbi environment and hes ready to break laws at the request of the executive. Gordon liddy goes to the department of justice. Hes in the Attorney Generals Office and gordon liddy present operation jump stone under which theyll break into the dnc offices in the water gate complex but theyll hire a houseboat to place outside of the Fountain Blue Hotel in miami during the democratic convention. Theyll put prostitutes on this houseboat with cameras. Theyll lure democratic delegates on to the houseboat and photograph them. This was the man who was going to okay or not this collection of crimes. They asked for one Million Dollars and John Mitchell didnt say are you guys crazy get out of here. Thats all illegal. Thats crazy. No he said its too expensive. Please come back with a lower budget. There was pressure from the white house from me and the president to the exit tee to get their Campaign Intelligence activity going. To me it was a throw away project. Give liddy the quarter Million Dollars and satisfy the white house. Mitchell said lets go with it. I have remember at the beginning there was a sense of the master mind of all of this is gordon liddy. Well, history now has established the master mind was Richard Nixon. So when we come to the water gate story it was perfectly in character even though he looked like he was set up for a pretty comfortable Reelection Campaign it was perfectly in character for him to say i want every advantage. I will approve this. I will approve that. He thought if he played it straight he might lose. So he played it a little crooked. I was called in by jeb stewart mcgruder to his office. He said can you get into the water gate Office Building . Over the weekend five men were nabed in the Democrat National headquarters in washington seemingly preparing to tap or bug the place.
