This has to be one of the most iconic interviews of the past 100 years.
The late Sir David Frost grills the ex-President Richard Nixon and makes him say the most shocking 12 words in political history: “When the President does it, that means that it is NOT illegal.”

I agree. Sometimes a president does know what is best for their country more than average people do. Just look at Ronald Reagan and George W Bush. they were patriots and did what is best for America. They make the law and they are the law.
You are so brainwash my friend!!! A sheep has more intelligence than you. Do something about it, Please!
“The Problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubt, while the stupid ones are full of confidence”.
Evil bloody dictators the lot of them! War criminals.
Reagan and Bush did what was best for elite Americans. Not Americans. Nixon was no different. What Nixon said would have given the founding fathers a coronary. Jefferson and his peers set up rules and laws for a small federal government in exact opposition to the bloated and too-powerful governments that inspired them to create America in the first place.
What Nixon said is exactly the kind of statement made by a bloated, too-powerful government. And looking back, it was Nixon, this statement, this interview, Watergate, and his move to dethrone gold that has lead to the empire’s precipitous fall from what was long ago as graceful as our species ever got.
