00:00So we were talking about this a little bit backstage, but i'm actually fascinated by
00:04Nixon as a character in history. I think that his historical legacy
00:09Is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, but i think deservedly so.
00:14As i joked with robert backstage, if watergate happened tomorrow,
00:18It would be like a 12-hour news story.
00:21The idea that it would have taken down a presidency is crazy.
00:24And by the way, if you look at the story of how the deep state took down richard nixon,
00:33It's not all that different from what the same groups of people, the same institutions
00:39Tried to do to donald trump and the first trump administration.
00:41There is a parallel.
00:48I also just at a personal level, you know,
00:52Okay, young senator, vice president,
00:55Writes some best-selling books, is hated by the media.
00:59It kind of sounds like jd vance.
01:00So i'm a little, you know, i've always liked, i've always liked richard nixon.
