On this episode of Neutchworld, it has been almost 50 years since President Richard

Millhouse Nixon resigned from the presidency. Nixon normalized U.S. relations with China,

and by so doing he encircled the Soviets

and made certain they knew they were on the losing side of the Cold War.

Nixon signed the first major strategic arms limitation treaty with the Soviets

which involved real cuts done out of mutual respect and fear.

Nixon made peace possible in the Middle East and saved the children of Israel by

assuring that Israel would not be defeated in the Ankhipper War.

Nixon ended the war in Vietnam and brought home the prisoners.

Nixon said he would leave us a generation of peace and he did.

My guest today was a speech writer and friend of President Nixon and says he

misses him every day and he's joining me to discuss his new book, The Peacemaker,

Nixon, the man, president, and my friend. I'm really pleased to welcome my guest Ben Stein.

He is a writer, actor, economist, and lawyer. He writes the Dreams

column for Newsmax magazine, Ben Stein's diary for the American Spectator, and is the

host of the world according to Ben Stein podcast.

His comedic role as the economics teacher in the film Ferris Buehler's Day Off has been

ranked as one of the 50 most famous scenes in movie history.

He was the co-host of the Emmy Award winning Wynne Ben Stein's money.

He's also the New York Times best-selling author or co-author of over 30 books. Ben welcome and thank you for joining me on Newt's world.

You're very kind. Thank you very much.

When did you first hear about Richard Nixon and when did he first sort of enter your life?
