00:01So we were talking about this a little bit backstage, but I'm actually fascinated by Nixon as a character in
00:07history.
00:08I think that his historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, but I think deservedly so.
00:15As I joked with Robert backstage, if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12-hour news story.
00:22The idea that it would have taken down a presidency is crazy.
00:25And, by the way, if you look at the story of how the deep state took down Richard Nixon, it's
00:35not all that different from what the same groups of people, the same institutions, tried to do to Donald Trump
00:41and the first Trump administration.
00:43There is a parallel.
00:49I also just, at a personal level, you know, young senator, vice president, writes some best-selling books, is hated
00:59by the media.
01:00It kind of sounds like J.D. Vance.
01:01So I'm a little, you know, I've always liked Richard Nixon.
01:05But, okay, one other thing about Richard Nixon.
