The

The Richard Lim here, host of this American president. So I just wanted to give a shout out to our supporters,

John Larson and Ralph Fenn. Thank you so much for your support. It means a lot to us. So it's no secret that

Richard Nixon is one of America's most controversial presidents. And he is famous or rather

infamous for being the first president in history to resign. And that is what kids learn about him in grade school. That's basically the one

thing that they learn about him. And he remains for many people, an unpopular president. Some people look at

him as disturbed. He's been vilified. But is all of that fair? Well, our guest today, Paul Carter, thinks that, well, that we don't really know Richard Nixon, that we haven't really gotten to know the real Richard Nixon. And he's written a book about it, a fascinating book that looks at Richard Nixon, his career, but also the man. So Paul is an attorney. He's been an attorney for over two decades,

all of this, that he is tied with FDR for the most appearances on a national ticket, which is

pretty impressive five times. For a guy who's been portrayed as not charismatic,

that's a pretty remarkable accomplishment. And he was vice president at the age of 39. I mean,

I'm 40. So, you know, I mean, for comparison, that's pretty impressive. He won his reelection

with winning 49 out of 50 states, which is an incredible landslide. And people forget

about that. And I also like to point out that he took office during about as crappy as situation

as you can get from your predecessor, Vietnam War, generational divisions, racial divisions,

violence in the streets. The nation had been traumatized. You know, multiple

assassinations had happened over the past decade. So I feel like it's always important to
