Are you on your way home?
BRENNAN: Well, in boxing, you know, there's always that first moment, And you see it in the challenger's face. It's that moment that he feels. The impact from the champ's first jab. It's kind of a sickening moment, when he realizes that. All those months of pep talks and the hype, The psyching yourself up, had been delusional all along. You could see it in Frost's face.
If he didn't know the caliber of the man. That he was up against before the interview started,
But I realize no one else shares that view.
He certainly knew it halfway through the President's first answer. NIXON: You see, since the best advice is.
Almost always of the confidential variety, Now the tapes have been made public, People are unlikely ever to feel comfortable. Speaking in confidence at the White House. They're less likely to offer that advice. So in the end, It's the whole political system and, By implication, it's the country that suffers. So much for our "ballsy" opening. So when did you actually decide. At what moment did you know you were going to resign? That's good. That's good. I remember exactly. It was July 23.
Is that clear? MITCHELL: Yes, sir.
After it was clear the Southern Democrats. That were still against impeachment had. Had the screws put on them by the Speaker of the House. That night I said to Al Haig, "Well, that's it. There goes the presidency.". And, of course, you know, being Al, He tried to talk me out of it.
All, underlined. And they are to send their teams in to see.
And Vice President Ford, I mean, let's not forget. He had the most to gain personally from my stepping down, He was still absolutely convinced that. We were gonna win the impeachment vote, And comfortably. John, we have to do something. We have to move this along. This is desperate, John. Do something. Twenty-three minutes on one question? Okay, let's take a break. Let's change the tapes. Come on, man. DIRECTOR: I'm sorry, gentlemen. We have to take a break. Tape change. Oh. Okay, how's that? You getting what you need?
I brought you a pair.
It's fantastic.
Good. Good. Thank you. Excuse me. One moment, sir. NIXON: Yeah, sure. Take your time. What are you doing, David? You've got to stop him rambling. It's all right. These are just introductory exchanges. But this session only lasts two hours. Nearly half of it's gone, and we're wasting valuable material, okay?
The moment that he made the decision to resign, We should be scoring points with that stuff. Want me to switch to Vietnam? No. No. We've got to get something.
Out of that resignation night. All right? That was Nixon at his lowest point, a total wreck. On his knees? Praying with Kissinger? Come on, you can nail him with that stuff.
Mr. President, we were talking about.
Listen, was that okay?
Mr. President, we were talking about.
Perfect, sir. It didn't sound too arrogant or self-serving? Not at all. You sounded controlled, even-handed, statesmanlike. Now continue exactly the same way. Long answers. Control the space. Don't let him in. Okay, got you.
