Episode 61: RICHARD NIXON The Man Who Saved the Union (Part 8) The Taping System

In this episode, we are finally  at the moment that the taping system was installed. It was a fateful decision, and it would eventually lead to the fall of the Nixon Administration. The tapes have been used to attack the President and portray him as an awful person. For the most part, only the worst of the worst of these tapes have been promoted to the public. 

President Nixon allowed the taping system to be set up in such a way that it taped his every utterance on a voice activated system for every moment when he walked into a room. Due to that fact, it recorded everything, the good , the bad, and the ugly. It caught Nixon at his very best and at his very worst. For the obvious reason, that it would destroy his image and hurt his historical standing with vast numbers of the public, liberal historians and liberal documentarians have grabbed every negative tape they can find and made sure the public has heard it.

Few, if any, of the general public have heard the good moments, the masterful moments, or the painstaking ways in which President Nixon worked so hard to get us out of a disaster he inherited in Vietnam, to open China, to create detente with the Soviets, to save the environment, and to work to eradicate drugs from our culture and to find a cure for cancer. 

WELL THAT IS ABOUT TO CHANGE

Starting with this episode of our documentary series on President Richard Nixon, you will get to hear some of the thousands of hours of tape of Richard Nixon painstakingly working to change the world for the better. In this episode alone you will hear him working with, cajoling, bargaining, and complimenting congressmen for their help with legislation designed to make our lives, 50 years later, better. 

Throughout the next episodes we will listen as he opens China, starts initiatives at home and abroad, all with a strategic goal in mind to put the United States in the strongest position in the world economically, militarily and morally. From there he will set up the architecture and the foundation for a generation of peace, that my generation of Americans was able to live. He set up the structure of a safer world that still constrains the most extreme elements in our world  to this day,  forces  who would plunge our world into darkness and chaos. 

Here you will hear Richard Nixon getting the job done, one show, and one historic event, at a time, and he will do it, over and over again.
