Nixon, Colson & Sanchez on Vietnam War and Media Relations

I wonder if he's going to be publicized anyway.
I don't know.
Oh, he's scared along.
The lawyers pulled it off.
None of that was .
He's a cop.
He's a cop.
He's got a mental illness.
He's got a mental illness.
The Bible says,
If we think we're going to get all of the poison and keep it alive, saying there's smeariness and this and the rest, I think you can put a good case suit, believe me.
I follow it all the way.
I agree.
And I don't want none of us going to get hit, but you're going to do other things.
You've got to believe me.
We're going to need the lower-ranking plan, and we're going to fight through that.
I don't want to do it.
I won't do it.
Well, I don't think so.
I think it was .
He said, .
He said, .
He said, .
And he said, .
Oh, everybody thought as a result that he really did .
In other words, once you bring them up, you carry them over the way, it moves.
Okay.
I'm going to know that you're here at a very interesting day.
When I was 10 o'clock, I was announced that we have reached the break of dawn for the last time in the world.
And every time that it was all over demand, and I said, Lord, please, we're going to have this in the world.
The ceasefire is throughout the world.
and the laws, and their right to themselves to be engaged in their own future without any outside intervention.
We've got Perry in the lead after all.
Now, what it means, of course, to be dealt with is that there must be a savage attack.
I don't know if anybody else is going to agree with what I've said, but there must be an attack.
The.
I also want every labor you can call to come to us and say the present.
Thank you.
... ... ... ... ... ...
.
That's what we ought to do.
.
I don't want to keep going for a month.
Frankly, the attack, we may not be able to destroy it because we don't have a press release.
Blackboard, Herbert Hoover was attacked by that son of a bitch.
Smart guy to work for us, don't remember.
Those were the members.
You remember the job they incurred when they made him the sandwich on the bench and everything else.
It's irrelevant.
Why is it?
We had never done anything to our enemies.
Never.
It was effective.
But this is going to react.
You must tear their guts out.
Look, they would settle for a peace that would get peace for America and continue war with 30 million people in the Southeast Asia.
We have peace.
We're going to be the hell out.
All the rest of the military is going to be a shit.
I agree completely.
I think maybe this is the time to cool Travis off.
What do you think?
Chase?
Chase?
Well, Chase is going to run for the line.
That's right.
That's right.
That's right.
That's right.
That's right.
That's right.
That's right.
That's right.
He will be delighted to know he's done everything
Yeah.
But you get down and say, we can do everything we want.
But what they've got to say, Chuck, is the president's policy has been vindicated.
It has worked.
And all these factors that are based upon the government, what the hell has it been all about?
Is it working or not?
And they must not get away with this line to the effect that they would have, of course, essentially.
The only way we can embrace it, we have to destroy it.
We have to use this belief as the first way to get rid of it.
Because I agree, they, I even got Christ out later than that, so it's not quite the same.
I don't know what that means, but I guess if you take the world, the credibility of it, anybody can see it.
I believe it.
.
.
.
.
.
Then after that,
Thank you.
There's quite a scally thing.
If you talk to him, he's kind of like this.
He's ready to fight.
He's got skills.
He's got ability.
The press is there.
The journalists come along with him.
He's an awesome man.
He's awesome.
I'm just going to question the narrative of that.
Why?
If you trust him completely.
Thank you.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Why doesn't anybody stand for him?
.
.
.
.
.
But you've got to be strong.
I think the real problem is that all of us have been so desperate for the question.
That's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've been beaten down and destroyed.
You can do it.
You can do it.
You can do it.
You can do it.
You can do it.
I'd like to be the lawyer for the Washington Post.
So we want to congratulate you.
And CBS.
CBS.
And the Washington Post.
They're too quiet.
They're too quiet.
They're too quiet.
They're too quiet.
They're too quiet.
They're too quiet.
They're too quiet.
They're too quiet.
They're too quiet.

what you're fighting for.
It's a long story.
We didn't make this for you.
It's a part of the inauguration.
It's a part of the inauguration.
It's a long story.
We've got a long story.
We're asking what's wrong.
Where's the current?
I remember two years ago, I think we were asking to see a reporter from the county.
Maybe a year and a half ago.
You're not as good at talking as I'd be at the center of the church.
As good at talking as I'd be at the center of the church.
Fairness.
Fairness.
Fairness.
I've got to say, I think John, I think it's great.
I think John really, I don't find John quite as bad as John.
He's smarter than John.
What do you think?
I don't think it's the first one.
It's the first one.
What do you think?
He was a laborer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Great.
Well, that's fine.
But you would be right to remind that if you're getting five cents, it's good to do the five cents.
I've never heard the motion to do it.
No, we won't do it.
Well, I just .
.
.
.
.
.
Thank you.
In other words,
... ...
I believe that there's a project now that we can't do any of it.
There really is more of a challenge.
There's just pure pressure.
Mainly, of course, because of this.
The way I'm doing this is very, I guess, skillfully suggested.
What happened to the...
.
.
.
.
Thank you.
Don't worry about the support of the mob.
You know, I mean, you don't have to worry about the fact that you're going to be able to work.
Thank you.
Thank you.
... ... ...
Thank you.
We'll tell them.
We'll tell them.
.
.
.
.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Thank you.
Yeah.
... ... ... ... ...
Yep, and we'll get a lot of people saved in that particular situation.
It's a great time.
It's a great time to do it.
We'll do it.
We'll do it.
Thank you.
