Our season four presidential closer is arguably the most tragic historical figure in American history; Ricard Nixon. Dick had all the strengths to be a great President, along with an impressive record of signing into law some of the country's most important legislation that still exists today.

Most Americans know nothing of Nixon's accomplishments though, and for good reasons. The abuse of executive power during Watergate served as a warning to the American public on giving away too much trust to the government, a culture that has grown since and polarizes the nation today.

In part one of our Nixon two-parter - Jusef and Neil explore the origins of Nixon's turn towards the darker side of politics and talk through the evolution of Nixon and his political motivations in his pursuit of the presidency.
