RICHARD NIXON and WATERGATE The Epilogue. The Re-Rise (Part 5) The Wisdom of Richard Nixon Show B (Bill Clinton and Russia)
Manage episode 439315433 series 3445865
In this episode, we listen to Richard Nixon's thoughts on the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union may be gone but the nation that succeeded it, Russia, is now under the leadership of an old KGB Agent, Vladimir Putin. A Russian strongman, leading a resurgence of Russian Nationalism and Russian despotism just as President Nixon had predicted way back in the early 1990s. So President Nixon's thoughts on the subject are just as relevant now as they were at the end of the Cold War.
Richard Nixon also developed a strange relationship near the end of his life with a brand new President. A man from the other party, married to a woman who served on the House Judiciary Committee staff that had voted to impeach him nearly two decades before. But in Bill Clinton he found a willing student of unparalleled intellectual capability and the two men became friends. In this episode we will learn that story and much, much more in part two of our listen to the Wisdom of Richard Nixon.
This episode also has several points made by author Kasey Pipes throughout, Mr. Pipes wrote the book "After the Fall" about Richard Nixon's post Presidency. We highly recommend that book and provide you a link here.
